the lord of the rings (orcs)

[woolie]

hi does anyone have any good tips for painting orcs

 

[Thecadian]

Hi, Woolie

thats a very general question
What do you need help at painting them to golden demon standard or just to game with.

In essence orcs are no differant from ANY model.So just use basic skills EG. Get the paint nice and thin and in the right areas.Try highlighting and shading and there you go.

After nailing these basics you can move onto things like blending and freehand.

Post WIW\'s in the WIP forum and youll soon inprove.

Hope this helps

[Thecadian]

well its up to you really.You could paint \'em lime green with spots but is recon some greenish skin dirty weapons and armour and some dull coloured clothes should do

I say lilac for the skin, neon blue for the armour. Green skin and dull clothes? What are you thinking Thecadian, that\'s crazy talk.

look to nature. ask bill - he has some crazy frog patterns!

seriously dude, watch the films and mix your paints until they look the right colours. should be easy enough to do unless you\'re colour blind like me...
