I’ve made some progress on my 80’s Orks.  I’ll update my project soon. (https://www.beastsofwar.com/project/1227839/#snav)

So now I need some help picking the colours to go with.  The goal here was to paint them in line with the current GW scheme on their web shop, but to maintain all their character.  I’ve painted all the black I can on them without making them completely monochrome.  Weapons, blades, and armour plates will be dirty metal.  Undershirts and their sleeves will be off-white.  I’m even hoping to have the courage to try adding check patterns.  This still leaves some large cloth surfaces I need to find something to do with.  I’m thinking of embracing Colourz and painting them blue or red or yellow, scattering a mix of these colours around all the orks.  It’ll help break up the green tide, and give me an extra way to make similar sculpts look different.  I’m just a little afraid it may overpower the models, and make those without the colours look out of place.  I can try to add spots of colour to everyone though which will hopefully tie everything together.

Here are 3 examples of what still needs a decision making on.  Anyone any opinions or alternate suggestions?  I’m hoping to be paitning them tomorrow evening.

Also, if anyone has some spare Lascannons for a Land Raider or a Predator tank please let me know.  I also have just the body for Abaddon the Despoiler in need of all the other parts, either with me or in the hands of whoever has them. I’m fixing up some more old stuff I got my hands on over here: https://www.beastsofwar.com/project/1267979/#snav
