I've only just started getting into orks (thanks to the Ufthak Blackhawk novels). Right now I favor the brighter green look to the orks versus the more realistic, dirty green of Dawn Of War or Space Marine or the LOTR movies. I think what influences that choice is more of a confidence level than pure aesthetic or fictional representation. I think that on the table top the bright(er) colors will stand out more, showing off the individual characteristics; but as I said, I've only just started and that opinion could change in a year. Keep up the great work Andy! I'm proud to be a patron
I hadn't considered using a dark red as the wash stage, so that's definitely going in the list of things to try when I get round to painting my orks. Was looking at glazing some red into the shadows after watching a Vince Venturella video, but this way is undoubtedly quicker on an army's worth of Boyz.
Love the colour of the ork flesh, With your no nonsense/ easy approach to painting flesh it looks like you could do another video featuring flesh painting recipes for a range of different creatures You have done Ork, but do human,light and darker tones, Undead, Eldar, Dwarf etc, I think it would help a lot of new painters out.
My Kommandos kill team has been sitting in the box because I just couldn't decide on a skin tone as like you I didn't like the typical almost fluorescent green you normally see. After seeing this tutorial your method produces just the color I've been liking for! I'm going to dig out those old Kommandos this weekend and give your style a spin. 😁
Love this video. I tend to like more subdued colors for Orks/Orcs/Orruks as well and you really nailed it here. The reddish hue from the shade was a great touch!
Amazing scheme and well worth the time invested. Only other thing I generally enjoy in more "realistic" Orks is blending in pinky flesh tones for the lips.
I really like the way you do ork skin, I still have my kommandos to paint and I think once I start them I might use this scheme on them. Great video Andy thank you.
Great video, look a lot like how i paint my orks. Only exception is that i use "human" skintones for the ears and lips and parts of the face. Its a matter of taste i guess. Once again great video and a great "skin color scheme".
Honesty, I got why Orks are normally seen has a joke, we get to see them has joyful idiots that more often than not blow themselves up and laugh about it. But like you said in lore they are terrifying to fight. Also, amazing job might do use these tips if I ever get around to painting my Kruleboyz.
That's a great skin recipe for orks. It looks great. My orks are several different shades of green of varying intensities. There's even some non green ones in there. One of my kommandos is purple so he can be extra sneaky.
Mediocre Hobbies: "Orks have been pushed to the side of comic relief and I don’t think they’re that at all." Also Mediocre Hobbies: "Here’s how to paint an Ork in a barrel!" 😂 (Yes I do watch basically all of your videos 😅 Seriously though keep up the great work! It’s really inspiring and I’ve been waiting for this guide.)
Love your work, I get what you mean with "more realistic". Tragically most of my Orks were painted in the 90's with Dark Angels Green, Emerald Green and Grot Green, to get that layered look. So I can't do your method without the new boys standing out like the reproductive organs of a canid. I lost interest in gaming the boys when Phil Kelly wrote the new codex and they lost almost every trait and became target practice for everyone else. I don't like to hold onto things generally but that one sits up there with the hand of god.
What bugs me about this box is the two teams don't seem like they should be together. Tank bustas vs. halfling snipers just seems like a weird combination. I have no interest in this box, just here to support your channel.
To help add a little fluff, imagine command get intelligence that the tank bustas plan to intercept a very important convoy, given the limited resources, they decide that speed and stealth could neutralise the threat.. etc.

Man thank you so much pal. That’s so kind.
I hadn't considered using a dark red as the wash stage, so that's definitely going in the list of things to try when I get round to painting my orks. Was looking at glazing some red into the shadows after watching a Vince Venturella video, but this way is undoubtedly quicker on an army's worth of Boyz.
I use wine red from ak interactive from underneath with the airbrush. Makes them pop
Brilliant idea doing a video concentrating on just one specific aspect of a model. Super informative. Love to see more.
Love the colour of the ork flesh,
With your no nonsense/ easy approach to painting flesh it looks like you could do another video featuring flesh painting recipes for a range of different creatures
You have done Ork, but do human,light and darker tones, Undead, Eldar, Dwarf etc,
I think it would help a lot of new painters out.
That's a totally awesome and straight-forward scheme I've seen for bleak realistic ork skin, liked! ^^
I'm glad you like it :)

This is really very helpful. Your stuff is so clear and easy to follow
The new sculpts look fantastic. Nice job on the skin. Look forward to seeing the finished model on the streams 👍🏼
Well now I do! Love this skin tone. I presume it goes well with any clan colour. Awesome job as usual.
Yes it suits any of the colours really well
Amazing scheme and well worth the time invested. Only other thing I generally enjoy in more "realistic" Orks is blending in pinky flesh tones for the lips.
Is Ork blood red?
I really like the way you do ork skin, I still have my kommandos to paint and I think once I start them I might use this scheme on them. Great video Andy thank you.
Look forward to giving this a go!
A brilliant paint job, thank you. Yes it makes the Boyz very realistic and fearsome, I shall try this 😊
Thanks so much!
Best ork skin ever seriously am looking forward to trying this scheme out
Hope you like it!
Awesome ! Thank you much
Looks amazing, much more grimdark. Subbed!
Thanks for the sub! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, look a lot like how i paint my orks. Only exception is that i use "human" skintones for the ears and lips and parts of the face. Its a matter of taste i guess. Once again great video and a great "skin color scheme".
Gork or Mork? Great video as always! Cheers!
I remember that Orc head from when I was in Warhammer World. It was in Bugman's Bar when I was there.
Think I need another trip then!

It's a good skin scheme for Orks and works well. 🙂
I love the way you paint orks, and like yourself I prefer a more toned down appearance for them.

ah dang it, yes the ork in a barrel wasn't exactly on theme there hahaha Cheers man, glad you're liking the videos
Love it
Like the more earthy tones of Deathworld Forest, wash with Athonian Camoshade and then go back with a 1:1 mix of Deathworld Forest with Elysian Green
Looks great! Can you please do a second part where you do the rest of the miniature?
I've already painted mine using the same red scheme I've done in other videos on the channel!
@ what’s the title?
@@broncofun5636 there's a list of videos linked in the description to choose from!
oh boyyy i'm trying this!
Love your work, I get what you mean with "more realistic". Tragically most of my Orks were painted in the 90's with Dark Angels Green, Emerald Green and Grot Green, to get that layered look.

This has the perfect grimm dark look. I painted my ock kommandoz from the other kill Team box set when that came out, I can't remember the recipe
Yeah, that bright, glowy green doesn't exactly scream "grimdark" does it?
Love this scheme! Thanks!
Interesting cheers
Thank you!
Nice 1 andy. So u layer the blood berserker/plague bearer painted skin with the straken green right? Just so i can make it make sense in my noggin :D
Yes indeed pal
If I don’t have the same kind of primer, what should I do for this method
Nice technique
Thank you!
I’m not happy with how my kommandos turned out… I have the first three paints you used 🤔
Give it a go and see how you feel! 🤞
er everyone able to get it? it was sold out so fast :( and cant order it anymore.
These type of boxes usually do sell out but the teams will be out separately pretty soon
Wow that’s a lot of boxes back there! Those all unopened?
They are all sealed.
@@MediocreHobbies It's an investment!
@@MediocreHobbies daaaaaaaaaang. quite the collection!
Ugh. Now I have to decide between this and Darcy Bono's scheme. Tbh I want to paint my boyz kinda purpley, cuz I hate my life.
the steps will be the same no matter what colour you pick! I like her skin scheme too!
Eh, speed paints and highlights come out better
Oof. "Different" is probably the word you're looking for. "Better" is entirely subjective. Certainly faster using speedpaints.

@intzbk1 I know you mean, reading their rules made a little bit more sense though but I had the same thought!
Cheers for the support either way 😊
