I've been collecting and painting orcs for 30 years. This is the best skin technique I've ever seen. I have been repainting my old greens kins to your tutorials. Thank you so much

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

high praise indeed, thank you :D god luck

[@SigismundSonOfDorn]

Ayyyeee I can send this to my friend who is struggling with ork skin

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

:D tell em I said hello

[@MennyMacon]

Bro please can u do some more tau models. Some of the models are so good.

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

yes I want to do tau. :)

[@MorrowindES17]

I found a good ork skin online i used army painter greenskin and for a wash dark tone ink and green tone ink was some good results on my age of sagmar ork it was a practice one i used.

[@matthewhogg5861]

I am amazed haha, all afternoon I've followed your original and Mozrog vids on different boys for the first time and it looks so great, and this one pops up as soon as I've finished ha. Thanks for sharing them, two boys down over a hundred to go so I hope I can get quite a bit faster!

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

Thats some amazing timing :P Mozrog is still one of my favorite miniatures I've painted. I've got about 80 boyz painted and still have about 40 to go ha good luck. have a look at batch painting

Painting Megzike grots would be wonderfull :D Keep doing such great videos and WAAAGH !

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

Thank you. I'll go check out Megzike stuff

[@shorelessskies]

PLEASE keep explaining like you do now. Assuming we (the viewers) know wtf is going on is a big problem most painting videos have lol

[@JoyfulNerd400]

Agreed and I’ve been painting minis for over 16 years. If we want more people in the hobby we have to allow them an easier way in

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

I will 😄 don’t worry. Thank you. I started this channel because I had the same frustrations as you 👌🏻

[@fearlessretaliator4997]

Only Michael can surpass Michael.

[@TheSkylaura]

I am new to collecting and painting Orcs and recently trying to overcome my anxiety that my work does not look as good as yours and others but then you have WAY more practice. Any chance you might do a Gazghkull tutorial anytime soon. Maybe the other Orc characters too?

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

I know what its like. we need to let go of those expectations or atleast understand it takes time and practice as you say. eventually we gain the confidence and it will happen without you realising it. keep pushing yourself regardless :D I have attempted a ghaz tutroail but it was a lot ha I may return to it in the future. keep painting :)

[@fearlessretaliator4997]

I know you usually only paint 40k but i would be thrilled if you painted some stromcast eternals, i just bought the spearhead boxset and i'd love to follow one of your tutorials.

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

I will be doing stormcast and skaven no doubt when the edition comes out :D

[@dominikstyks]

I paint my entire orc army this way. This is the only proper method. You created an excellent guide. WAAAGH!

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

WAAAGHH!!! 💪🏻 good job

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

Thank you so much. I'm glad you liked the video idea. its always a gamble tryng something a bit new. I apreciate the support :D

[@mixtapelon]

Wow, it’s very good tutorial and I gonna try it but can I replace bieltan shade and lahmian medium with ork flesh contrast and contrast medium? I guess it’s gonna be not as Matt as your variant

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

you can swap out the shade for a contrast, but I would use warp lightning over ork flesh. if your going to use contrast medium as well, just relise it drys quickly

Yeeeeeeeessss. So cool to see 'This is how I did it. This is how I do it after learning more. This is how I've grown.'. Not just your painting but also your filming. Very cool. Very, very cool.

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

Thank you. thats some great feedback :D I appreciate it.

[@songohan1075]

Really nice painting, If I paint some Orcs in the future I will use your techniques :) At the moment I am painting my Fyreslayers warcry warband the Vulkyn Flameseekers but I have no idea how the darker skin is painting, looking like a reddish/brown skin in the picture.

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

Thank you. the Vulkyn flameseekers skin is a very interesting colour and I couldn't really say of the top of my head what it mite be.

[@zachzolikoff3402]

Hey man I wanted to say I've been watching your videos since almost the beginning when you just had a few videos and I'm super happy to see you grow. You've got such a unique painting style and your miniatures have such an interesting and saturated look to them. Keep up the good work man!

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

Thank you so much for the support and it means a lot that you've been on this journey with me. :D

[@scolack123]

My ork skin is Warboss green 3:1 with bugmans glow Cadian flesh tone Kislev flesh So i use those as my shadow, base tone, highlight works well

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

Thanks for sharing. thats an interesting mix

[@Eleganckostudios]

Considering how many models orks players paint I wonder, whether anyone's willing to go for a scheme as time consuming as this. Besides that, great tutorial as always mate!

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

Thank you. I've painted over a 120 orks :P all like this ha its not so bad to be honest. Thank you :) when painting larger numbers, it can help to cut out some steps

[@janpecinka9101]

Love everything MIke! Just a question...Why do you think push fit cant be done in subs?

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

thank you :D that is a great question. you could probably do sub assemblies for some push fits but I find that they are so random in how they fit together it becomes difficult to assmble after you've painted without ruining your hard work.

[@allahallah123]

i like waaagh flesh/skarsnik green as the base for my ork skin. i mix to varying levels plus white/black/yellow depending on how i want the skin to look. i like mine having a good mix of skin colors but man have these videos been critical for me painting. literally the only reason i had the confidence to start my orks in the first place

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

I enjoy having a different skin tones as well. keeps it interesting. I'm glad your more confident in painting :) keep going

[@AidansBoyz]

Your original Orks tutorials were the first 40K painting videos I ever watched, so this is a huge blast from the past for me. Awesome work! A year and a half later and I'm still not confident in making your Ork Skin mix - I really dislike paint pots, and don't know how to mix them well without wasting some excess Death Guard Green or just making a mess of the decanting process. Are there any alternative methods or colour-matched paints in bottles you could recommend?

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

Thank you, the only thing I can sugest is to have a look around, you may find a good match in a different paint range? you could even chose a colour that you like, you don't need to mix and the steps will still be the same. you'll get there, keep practing and trying things out :)

[@Offpalettepainting]

Thank you for the glazing tips was very helpful and informative 😊

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

I’m glad they helped 😁

[@-Oittz-]

any chance that you have a video in the making for the ork big mek with shokk attack gun? its my favorite ork model and its really good for the new ork codex.

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

I have been thinking about it. it would be a fun model to paint and I do want one for my army :P so maybe in the future

[@fybso3057]

My personal ork skin tone is Caliban green mixxed with averland sunset snd i love it. I think the old orc video is the first one i sae from your channel

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

the possibilities are endless with the different mixes we can make for ork skin

[@-Oittz-]

side by side comparison of the finished new way and the old way would be interesting. allso, good to see the dropper bottles!

Great video mate. Dunno if your aware noticed your video being used In the background while Angry Joe was discussing warhammer. He's since shouted you out in the comments. Thought it was pretty cool 👍🏻

That is pretty cool 😛 that was nice of him to mention the channel

Hi Michael I love your vids, especially your cadian shock troops vid, do you think you will ever do any historical miniatures?

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

Thank you. I'm not sure, never say never though :D

[@joemarsden4909]

@@TableTopReadyKZbin no worries mate keep up what you’re doing because you’ve really helped me become a better painter, especially with highlighting 😁

[@murplepunky9691]

I like using some thinned-down Carroburg Crimson in the recesses. It really helps bring the model to life.

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

oh I may give that a go myself. interesting

[@murplepunky9691]

​@@TableTopReadyKZbin Its a bit of a stylistic choice. Some people start with a bit of a purple, brown or blue base when painting Orks and then build up to green to help give the impression that there's blood pumping under the skin. Orks bleed red after all, right? My process is: 1) Plaguebearer Flesh over a Corax White basecoat 2) a medium coat of Biel-tan. I don't like letting it pool in the recesses too much 3) recess shade with a 1:1 mix of Carroburg Crimson & Lahmium medium I really like the shade of Green it gives while still leaving a bit of brown/red/burgundy in the recesses. Its not for everyone though, but thats fine :)

[@popburnsy3207]

Oh neat, I was rewatching the other video this past week

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

nice :D hope its been helping you paint some orks

[@joshuamoore4560]

Been a long time viewer (literally since your first video). I really appreciate your approach, and since the first video your production skills have always been great (and continue to improve). Thank you for putting in the time and effort to share your process with all of us, and it's exciting to see how much you have improved (in many areas) since the very beginning. Already looking forward to future videos!

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

oh thank you, I'm so greatful for the support and you sticking around this long ha it means a lot.

[@joshbernal4864]

Just wanted to say thank you Michael, the first army I picked up was CSM about 2 months ago, and your black legion painting video has provided no end of help for me. I just got into this hobby and you're one of the first faces I ran into. Keep on my brother!

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

Welcome to the hobby :D I'm really glad my videos have been helping you get your black legion painted. that was quite a tricky scheme to get right but it looks great when done

[@beowulfjast]

I started orks almost 3 years ago and I found this video. I've used so many techniques from this and I've painted nearly 100 orks. Thanks for being awesome at what you do!

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

amazing, 100? good job. we need more Orkz always :D don't ever stop ha Thanks for the support and sticking around all this time. it means a lot

[@jeffreywelch9360]

Your ork skin is what brought me here when I got my Kommando Kill team. I don’t paint orcs often but your tutorial makes me want to paint more.

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

Thats crazy. Paint more Orks ha :D glad your enjoying the videos

[@jesseseese9308]

no need to change from the original, I use it now, and its the staple for my orcs and goblins skin tone. thank you for your original video!

Was here at the start and to see the progress you’ve made is incredible Michael! Loving the retrospective and love this skin recipe!
