The Dark Eldar Approach!

So, I picked up a copy of the new Dark Eldar codex at my FLGS, as well as a box of the new Kabalite Warriors.

Within a few hours I had the squad ready to start painting, and a few hours later I had my first test mini finished to my tabletop standard.




Once I knock out a tutorial for this paint scheme, I'll have these guys up on a popular online auction site, so keep an eye out.

Painting Tutorial: Warhammer 40k Ork

Here's a tutorial for how I paint my Warhammer 40k Orks. I'd consider this my tabletop standard.

On to the tutorial:

Step 1: Codex Grey highlights for black cloth and boots. Basecoat leather straps in Bestial Brown, skin in Gnarloc Green.

Step 2: Highlight skin with 3:1 mix Gnarloc Green to Bleached Bone.

Step 3: Basecoat teeth, fingernails, straps, pouches in Khemri Brown.

Step 4: Chainmail for metal.




Step 5: Devlan Mud wash over entire model.

Step 6: Stipple Mithril Silver on metal. Highlight teeth, fingernails, stitching with Bleached Bone.

Step 7: Watered down Solar Macharius Orange is applied to create rust effects. Gryphonne Sepia is applied to a few places where the rust is once the Macharius Orange is dry.

Step 8: Paint the eyes Blood Red. Seal the model and base to your preference.





And there you have it, one more Ork Boy for the gathering Waaaagh! Let me know how the tutorial worked for you.
