My Orruk Warband for Shadespire, Ironskull’s Boyz.

When I started painted them I originally tried the yellow of the studio miniatures.  I have always struggled with painting yellow (who hasn’t!?) but thought I would give it a go to try and push my skills.  I soon realised that I have started to run before I could walk I think and put them on the shelf and ignored them.

I saw an excellent looking blue painted Orruk warband in White Dwarf and decided I will take them off the shelf and start from scratch with blue.  I painted them up extremely quickly as I was really enjoying myself! I am happy with the stark edge highlights on the armour and the skin tone.

If anyone has any tips on painting yellow that would be much appreciated!

These look great, nice work getting the eyes and tongues picked out so neatly! Apologies I can’t give any tips on painting yellow 🙂

Really nice job. I’ve just started my own set of the boyz and thanks for the inspiration!

these are looking great 🙂
quick tip on painting yellow, paint the whole area a warm yellow,
and then do a recess wash with “Casendora Yellow”, and around the edges (not the whole thing) 😛
it’s as easy as that, and looks awesome with some pale yellow highlights to finish off 🙂
… if in doubt, just cheat the shadows 😉 ha ha
