How To Paint Goff Orks

The following is a step by step instructional on how to paint Goff Ork Boyz to a tabletop standard reasonably quickly.

Remember that when painting Orks variety is the spice of life so try to mix the color combinations up a bit. For example on some orks you should darken or lighten each aspect of their clothing, one might prefer black boots, another could be in favour of muddy brown boots. Keep mixing things up.

Wash the Skin with a 50:50 mix of Carroburg Crimson and Water then Biel-Tan Green
