Still need to take some better pics - about 2/3 of the ones I snapped of these guys I dropped for being out of focus/blurry/shaky, etc.



Quite satisfied with the results, though. Gotten quite a bit better with skin, but I still need to work on my highlighting some. The tiger stripe experiment worked pretty well, too...



In the end, I'm glad I went back and did the balaclavas as well as the pants with the stripey orange. JUST the pants ended up looking pretty odd - obviously you're trying to draw the eye to them, but with the equipment load of most of the orks, you really can't see them well from a lot of angles. Pulling the eye toward the head helps a lot!



It would figure that the one group shot that came out well would be the rear view!

I wasn't able to stripe the balaclava of the boss since, well, he doesn't wear one. The color balance is quite different on his model too, since he's the only one not wearin' a shirt (the rest of them are unusually bundled up as orks go, for that matter.) At the same time, the boss is holding big jagged knives and I was unsure what to do with them. One problem solved the other. The tiger stripe knives tie him into the rest of the squad better than pants alone would have. I've also put some dark green stripes on his arms and back... considered going "full camo" with the rest, but eh. Not really up for repainting them all at this stage.

Now to decide what unit to paint next...
