A little while ago, I painted an Ork Warboss with orange skin to see what the model would look like. Now I think I'm going to take the leap and start making the list. I think I am going to have a lot of Nobz in this army, just to make them look meaner and bigger. There is also going to be a heavy desert theme to this army, lots of sand blasted vehicles and armor.

What do you think?

I'm not a fan of non-traditional skin color on Orks, so I'll keep my comments to painting, etc.
The skin looks like it was well done. That might be a mix of a decent paint job mixed with the less-than-perfect lighting, or it might because it's really THAT well done. It's hard to tell.

You can definitely see the definition in the face, etc. from a distance, though. Squig's too blurry to comment on it, though.

I'm terrible at taking pictures, so I had my wife do it with the focus on the skin. Sun was going down when the picture was taking, so not a lot of good light. Thanks for the input.

Here are some better pictures:





The idea for this ork army was to have no blues or greens of any kind on the models.

Solid skin tone, but then again I'm a fan of non green orcs.

I like, I like non-traditional coloring, and orange and purples are my favorite.

The red skin does look good.

The eyeblack gives him someting of a kabuki look. I like it, and think it wouldn't work if he was green.

I dig it, if you've read Gunheads the golgothan orks had a red tint to them from the sand and dust blowing about.
