So ill be honest. About 4 years ago I picked up the "Black Reach" box set and made a start on some ork boys. It wasn't until recently that I re-discovered my desire & will to paint!
After much consideration, I decided to go for an Evil Suns / Goff kinda colours scheme. So red & checks it is.
I grabbed a bunch of boys and primed them black. My plan was to set up an "assembly line" method and hit each base colour on each model. Somehow I ended up with 12 boys and 13 heads (I like to do the heads separately) in this batch but not to worry.
I couldn't decide on a set colour for the cloth so some have brown clothes & some are black. I kinda like this tho as orks are not supposed to be regimented.
Here are the first 12 ork boys - ALMOST finished. I just need to add the highlights to the red hair and there are a few touch ups I'd like to make like paint chips on the metal. They will also need basing. I've not done any checks at this point either.
I'm pretty happy with them although I've probably spent way too long on this batch considering they are just the basic infantry (and I'm going to have to paint a ton of the little buggers). There was some trial and error on the colours but I've nailed the method I'm happy with so the next lot shouldn't take as long at all!
