Very nice so far! I can tell you\'re using thin, even layers on the basecoat. The color is very strong and deep. Great stuff.
I\'ve recently switched over to white undercoat and I love it. Sure, you have to worry about getting everything to eliminate any white showing through, but the colors come out incredibly deep and you can always darken them if need be.
Good work so far

Thank you very much.
as redarmy has spotted I did it using very thin layers of;
Snot green basecoat, mixed with Dark Elf green (Coat d\'arms) and a little Cyngar blue (p3) for the shading and I mixed goblin green and bleached bone with snot green for working up through the highlights.
:yes: couldn\'t agree more!! easily the best Orc I\'ve ever painted, I\'m thinking of started an Orc army on the basis of this one mini, just to have him at the head of horde of greenskins.
Well spotted redarmy, it is indeed the technique I used. This is the first time I\'m trying thin layers like this and the first time I\'ve painted in nearly 2 months and I have to say I\'m loving it!! all my \'centrepieces\' will be painted this way from now on.
It is also the first time I\'ve used a white undercoat since I was about 14 (23 now) and again it\'s great, as you say makes a huge difference to the colour you end up with and all you have to change is to make you sure you get all the areas well-covered, which is just making us better painters in the end
some updates...

Looks more like graveyard earth to me.
