[@MediocreHobbies]

Thank you!!! Pinning this for everyone else!

[@naughtiusmaximus1231]

Well done, love the Greenskin Mobs! Please show us your Night Goblins!

[@MediocreHobbies]

Yes sir.

[@Clidefride007]

Would love to see how you would go about painting a night goblin.

[@MediocreHobbies]

I shall make it happen.

[@vex1561]

I don't collect orcs and goblins but I do collect OW. This video perfectly captures what I want to do for OW with the limited time I have. Love MH

[@MediocreHobbies]

To kind pal. Thank you.

[@mikehawkins346]

I'd like to see Goblins, Black Orcs and Trolls if possible.

[@MediocreHobbies]

I shall see what I can do.

[@petermillar8866]

Night Goblin video would be class.

[@MediocreHobbies]

A lot of people think so. N

[@ivanramirez4133]

Incredibly straightforward tutorial and super simple. Definitely using this exact method!

[@MediocreHobbies]

Ah thanks man, that's great to hear!

[@adron1261]

The little bit more really makes it.

[@MediocreHobbies]

I agree 100%

[@MarkCMG]

Thanks for the video! Nicely done!

[@MediocreHobbies]

Glad you liked it!

[@greywulfslair]

Absolutely brilliant. Saving this for when I paint my Orcs. Thank you!

[@MediocreHobbies]

Glad you liked it pal.

[@PrzybyszzMatplanety]

It's actually so easy, using Contrast/Speedpaints/Xpress on your entire army in order to make it tabletop ready ASAP and then upgrading them in free tim with normal paints.

[@metajock]

Looks good for any army, dude. (Good to finally be back, I'm finally getting to catch up on the last two months of vids!!!)

[@MediocreHobbies]

It is very good to have you back pal. Hope you’re doing good.

[@settralives]

Orcs Arcane Journal and the rest of the releases came out last Saturday!

[@MediocreHobbies]

They were indeed.

[@patimusprime72]

Getting ready to start night goblins myself! Would absolutely love to see your take on the little buggers.

[@MediocreHobbies]

I need to get that done.

[@Jason-man-in-black]

Sepia wash definitely seems like the way to go. And would certainly like to see some of your night goblins.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Cheers pal. Ye so need to get that sorted.

[@johnbursi2804]

Would love to see your take on a squig hopper. Also, do have a general idea how long the orcs in this video took to paint?

[@MediocreHobbies]

If I don’t as just painting and not making a video I’d say less then 30 minutes of actual brush time.

[@williamamely7038]

Those Orcs are definitely from the starter set that pitted them against the Empire. Two of my models had misshapen faces, no doubt an issue with the molds they were made from. I sold them off, as they were from my pile of shame. They were very nice models, though. Thanks for sharing your video with us.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Anytime pal. Glad you liked it.

[@sethran9447]

Awesome, i do like the style of the video - the comparing really helps. Might be good with say Skaven too!

[@MediocreHobbies]

Very true. With AOS 4 box I will be doing my old world skaven. Very excited for that.

[@SavageBehir]

I'm waiting for my orc battalion to arrive :). It's bolster my existing orcs and goblins force and I'm going to swap out one of the crew for the chariot to a boss, as I don't think I'll need three of those and I already have a chariot from the olden days :D. I'm always happy to see how other people tackle orcs. I will be repainting mine (and will probably have to do some arm swaps as I put some of them quite randomly when I was 11) and was looking for some ideas for the cloth and such. I'll be slapchopping them (my technique of choice for horde armies), so it's more of "which transparent paint I'll want to use". I'll be going for Militarum Green for the skin (as I do with my 40k orks and kruleboyz tester, I like that shade for orc skin), Aggaros Dunes (or speedpaint equivalent) for the tunics (thank you for that idea!), but probably something lighter than Wyldwood for the leather. Maybe not as light as Snakebite Leather, but I believe that Goregrunta Fur is somewhere between Wyldwood and Snakebite Leather, isn't it? As for wishlists: I'd like to see you tackle some goblin wolfriders, especially wolves with different fur colours :D

[@MediocreHobbies]

You have a good scheme down. And yes some wolves would be cool to see.

[@Agozz87]

Thanks as always for sharing these painting tips (love the agrax/sephia wash/shading solution). Is this the same scheme you used for your gobbos?

[@MediocreHobbies]

No my gobbos are quite a bit different.

[@Agozz87]

@@MediocreHobbies looking forward to a gobbo tutorial then ;)

[@johnfoster7496]

Great video and definitely the approach I want to take with TOW

[@MediocreHobbies]

Glad to hear it pal.

[@kalesmythe]

I've never painted orcs but always wanted to see how they look with white skin, like the orcs in the animated LOTR movie.

[@MediocreHobbies]

They would look so good.

[@GrandKenyon84]

Love to see night goblins

[@MediocreHobbies]

I shall have to make it happen.

[@jimhoward6234]

Black Orc tutorial please!

[@MediocreHobbies]

I can do that.

[@intzbk1]

Great video as always! Have you seen the WAR: Online collector's edition Grumlok and Gazbag miniature? I'd love to see your tutorial on that one, I love that model.

[@MediocreHobbies]

I have indeed I own two. It’s a fun piece for sure.

[@scroggie_mini_painting3983]

Always appreciate an Ork video! Would love to see you tackle the orc command banner, Binegrinder Giant, Giant or the new Warboss 👍🏼. Cheers guys 👊🏻

[@MediocreHobbies]

The new warboss arrived this morning so I’m dying to get stuck into that.

[@mjhsinclair]

Boar boys might be useful for the nomads out there.

[@MediocreHobbies]

That’s true. And a fun piece to paint.

[@sachiel4736]

Lovely tutorial which I think I'll follow in the future. The Orcs are from the 6th edition starter set which had them against The Empire.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Yep. No idea where I got them from.

[@jmc7034]

Oooo night gobos. Would love to see your take on these little gits😂

[@MediocreHobbies]

I shall make it happen.

[@TheJohnlegg]

Out of Sepia?! Outrageous ;)

[@MediocreHobbies]

I know rite.

[@leemcalister4125]

Show us your Night Gobbos

[@MediocreHobbies]

Yes sir.

[@mjhsinclair]

Orcs, orcs, orcs.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Hahhaha

[@GilthosDrakoniss]

👍👍

[@MediocreHobbies]

Cheers

[@nickdavis5420]

Waaaagh roust the boyz!

[@MediocreHobbies]

Hahaha

[@ohsohologramic]

I don't really see the second orc as the next step on a paint job of the initial orc. Instead, it looks like an entirely different orc from a different army, and would stand out very starkly from the rest of the mob if they were painted like the speed painted version.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Ye I feel I got the shade wrong the brown was just far too dark. I wanted sepia.

[@ohsohologramic]

@@MediocreHobbies it happens!! Would love to see a unit of these guys ranked up tho :)

[@chad534]

Oh no! He has his brown pants on lol

[@MediocreHobbies]

Yep you’re in trouble now.

[@markwilson46]

What was used to base the models?

[@MediocreHobbies]

It’s in the description!

[@benfieldhicks7064]

swear my PB flesh is not that color LOL

[@MediocreHobbies]

You either need to shake it loads or you have a bad one.
