How I Paint Ork Boyz (Warhammer 40,000)

[@dcsportsmark4996]

Used to collect and paint long time ago but after my injury I can’t sit down for long without being in pain. So now I just watch and this video was quite satisfying. Well done.

[@TooMiniModels]

Thanks for the comment!

[@terrydactyl2077]

Hey there mate. Sorry to hear you are dealing with that. I too have chronic pain from and injury. Lumbar region. I can finally sit in a chair for a short period of time. About an hour tops. The rest of the time when painting I stand. With many breaks and stretches and exercises in between. Sometimes leaning back on a high stool. When legs get tired. I also walk the dogs for a good while before hand and go on the treadmill for short bursts in between standing and painting. Buying a sit stand desk with an electric motor to change heights. Bought it fairly cheap in a sale. I’ve seen other people using one of those cushioned tables people use to eat while leaning back to paint while reclining. Anyways. You probably already know these things but thought I’d share. Hope you are doing ok and can get some time without being in too much pain. Take care.

Great video, been thinking about switching up my Ork skin lately

[@TooMiniModels]

Thanks, I am glad you liked the video.

[@zackd1eb0hne4]

i stopped the hobby 10 years ago, but i just bought the Kill Team Octarius... i was desperate about the ammount of new colours from GW :D thanks for the guide!

[@TooMiniModels]

Sure thing, glad this could help.

[@christopherkrawczyk6223]

Great video! Would recommend to add the name of the paint pop out on the video when you actually use it. It really helps the user to follow up :)

[@TooMiniModels]

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. Still a bit new to editing. : )

[@yoyoyo9669]

fantastic work the great green tide is proud of your progress!

[@TooMiniModels]

Thank you!

[@EmperorCharizar]

Great tutorial, you need more subs

[@TooMiniModels]

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Thats a nice job

[@TooMiniModels]

Thanks

[@Firedrake-f4g]

I am fascinated by the number of different recipes for Ork flesh, non of which follow mine. Obviously on one combination is right or wrong but it is fun to see. My recipe is from the 90's when I started Orks. Dark Angels Green over jet black primer. Then Emerald Green followed by Snot Green. Naturally those colours have new names now but the only difference between then and now is thinning the paints which I learned about in the late 90's and of course use of a wash.

[@TooMiniModels]

Good to hear it! I hope you got some value from my video.

[@timothyberry2709]

Wow! That looks great. You make it look so easy. I recently got make into warhammer and hadn't painted a miniature in almost 20 years

[@TooMiniModels]

Thanks, I really appreciate it.

[@hughmac7423]

Nice.

[@TooMiniModels]

Thanks for the comment.

[@ardboystactics4696]

This looks great!

[@battleforbelief1889]

I really like the highlights. You should keep making videos like this!

[@TooMiniModels]

Thanks! Will do!

[@JesusRokc]

wow! awesome!

[@TooMiniModels]

Thanks for the reply!

[@jaycehickling9928]

I cant find Baal Red on my Games workshop website. What would a close equilivent be?

[@TooMiniModels]

Baal Red is the old color, the current one would be Carroburg Crimson.

[@MrLiam272]

That Ork Boy looks amazing.

[@TooMiniModels]

Thank you!

[@KyussSpeed-sg5je]

Skillfully, that's how

[@Just4funlegoplaymo]

Is There like a neutral colour for ork armour? I know that there are Different clans. But i wanna paint ork boys the way i want. Is it allowed to use them later in clans , no Matter what colour i Used ?!

[@TooMiniModels]

Maybe blood Axes

[@yanomamo89]

How long did it take you to paint this one boy?

[@TooMiniModels]

A few hours.

[@gentlemani9150]

thats golden!

[@TooMiniModels]

Thanks, I am glad you liked it! Another video coming soon.

[@badmr.frosty4848]

what brush are you using for the edge highlights?

[@TooMiniModels]

I am using an old Eavy Metal Standard brush that came out about 5-6 years ago. A good alternative would be Winsor & Newton Series 7 (not the miniature series of Winsor & Newton brushes - thats for tiny canvases). Any high quality kolinski sable round brush about size 1 or 2 would work.

[@iamphL]

With a finger snap he got a shoulder plate and lost a helmet 😳😳😳

[@TooMiniModels]

Yes, what I had on hand. Maybe I should have taken a before shot.

[@kinlochcantrell8881]

how long did it take

[@TooMiniModels]

I did not time myself, but several hours I would say.

[@alyra5435]

thanks

[@TooMiniModels]

Your Welcome!

[@terrydactyl2077]

Are these the same paints that you used on the models you had in the showcase? The older vid that I just commented on before?

[@TooMiniModels]

No, I tried something different here. Check out the video about painting the tank Busta to see how I painted the bulk of the army.

[@terrydactyl2077]

@@TooMiniModels alrighty! Cheers mate!

[@redpill4145]

great video. i'm working on my first few orks right now. new to painting mini's and I am having trouble with getting the right amount of paint on my brush for doing the highlights and I mess them up constantly. I can't figure out how much thin to make the pain and also how much to have on the brush. i'm sure eventually i'll get it but its frustrating :(

[@MF-kv8cn]

hey. are these the new Boyz which cost $45 American currency or $55 Canadian currency? and nice work btw.

[@TooMiniModels]

No, these are the old Ork Boyz, just painted like the new Ork Boyz.

[@Stefan-t1i]

since ceramite white doesnt exist anymore, what alternative would you suggest?

[@TooMiniModels]

Bold Titanium White by pro Acryl, White by AK 3rd gen, or Ulthuan Grey by GW, possibly mix in some White Scar to better color match.

[@Stefan-t1i]

Thanks @@TooMiniModels

[@grimaldushelbrecht8811]

Did you paint all your Ork boyz in the same Colour or did you mix the colours from time to time to get some variations?

[@TooMiniModels]

I painted most of my Orks in Warboss green, for some of the shoota Boyz, I experimented with the more yellow green on the box art for the new boyz. I think I like Warboss green a bit better for most of my Orks, I think it just reads more as 'ard as nails and reads as more "Ork green" to me. Thanks for asking.

[@grimaldushelbrecht8811]

@@TooMiniModels Sounds good! And the uniforms?

[@TooMiniModels]

@@grimaldushelbrecht8811 The uniforms, I like to think of them as vests and tousers, I paint almost all of them in Abaddon Black. This saves a lot of time because it goes on easily over black primer and I don't need to shade it. This is also the color scheme of the Goffs, that and black armor. So alot of black and checker patterns.

[@definitely_a_girl]

could i replace ogryn camo with orruk flesh?

[@TooMiniModels]

Of course! You may want to experiment on one one model and compare and contrast before committing.

[@mickholohan4266]

What color did u use for the eyes? Thank u for the tutorial.

[@TooMiniModels]

I think I used Mephiston Red and Fire Dragon Bright for a small dot in the center, if I even painted the eyes on this one. I paint the eyes on newer vids.

[@mickholohan4266]

@@TooMiniModels ah thank you

[@vjvadja259]

2:24 Do you mean Krieg Khaki? Or what-camo?

[@TooMiniModels]

Krieg Khaki! Sorry for the error!

[@imagecollections6665]

Why do you use paints & then totally cover them up? Couldn't you skip the darkest green layer & go straight to ogryn cammo? I like how you use Nuln oil in the recesses on this.

[@TooMiniModels]

I do that because Ogryn Camo is a layer paint and a fairly light color. The Waaagh Flesh is a base color and has better opacity so acts as a foundation for the Ogryn Camo.

[@alexst-martin5490]

I, do you have a tips to paint the ork skin, I try tour tutorial but the paint is too thick, can you help me? Thank

[@TooMiniModels]

I use palette paper and apply the paint from the pot to the paper. I then water it down with water to thin it down. Applying thin paint in multiple layers should do the trick.

[@alexst-martin5490]

@@TooMiniModels thank you very much, do you have a tips do get un very nice brush tip for layering?

[@TooMiniModels]

@@alexst-martin5490 I use brush soap after every painting session on my brushes. Also, having high quality brushes helps. Another tip is to clean the brush you are using every few minutes. Hope this helps!

[@TooMiniModels]

@@alexst-martin5490 I would recommend getting a good brush (like kolinski sable) and use brush soap to keep it clean.

[@bill5049]

Can you please list the paints you used

[@TooMiniModels]

Look at the description

[@bensontam]

I guess it will take you 10 years to finish 120 models of ork boyz.

[@TooMiniModels]

This is how to paint to a higher standard, one can always simplify it.

[@laurenkolb889]

Going to paint mine now 🫠 wish me luck!!

[@TooMiniModels]

I hope it turned out well.
