How to Paint Orks with Contrast Paint Fast

[@BenderJesse]

Just wanted to let you know that several years later this video is still helping people make great looking ork models. Thanks so much for making this video. it has helped me so much making fantastic ork skin that is not so hard or so time consuming that it scares a beginner from getting started. i can not overstate how helpful you have been to me, and i am sure many others getting started in this hobby.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Awesome! I have also done a slightly more updated one that might be of use!

[@ChrisJohnson-vb9hr]

OMG the plaguebearer flesh and biel tan is so nice. I never thought to do something like that. It's fast and looks good.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Glad you found the video useful!

[@absolutfreak5012]

I'm kind of picky about ork skin, and this looks fantastic. Going to try it out on some of the combat patrol, as I've been meaning to vary my skin shades a bit.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Cool hope it works out!

[@druidobianco9734]

That’s a perfect tutorial for a first timer, good job! Also the plaguebearer+biel tan trick is really clever, it simulates a yellow-tinted highlight

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Thank you! Yes it worked out quite well!

[@camy252camy3]

@@ThePaintingCoach did you go lighter and heavier on the bel tan to get the faded effect on the head?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Off the top of my head I don't remember - it could well be down to the zenithal prime - my advice is apply it as normal and while its wet you can use a clean brush to clear it up and help create a blend

[@joachimwalle3760]

@@ThePaintingCoach I am stunned by the gorgeous results you got from such a quick simple recipe and technique! Please please please tell me that there is a way to do this with pale human skin as well (I'm thinking of the Flesh-eater Courts)

[@saintakira9627]

Ah man this is perfect! I haven't painted an ork in 20+ years (2nd edition box set!), and I've got the new Killteam box on the way. So I've got a few ork boyz I'll have to paint and I'm really looking forward to it. This is the technique I'll use. Much appreciated. Simple, effective, and looks damn good. You're the best bro.

[@takerofheads]

That is the best representation of contrast usage I've seen in ages! I spend hours getting my ork skin to this standard with traditional paints and this way takes a fraction of the time!

I just tried your plaguebearer / biel tan skin and it is by far the best looking skin I’ve ever painted while being light years easier! Awesome video

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[@Beau74]

So I've been looking around for a good template to use for my Orks. There are a lot of tutorials out there, and while nearly all of them result in a very good end product, most of them are too complex, take too long, or both. This is just what I was looking for. In addition, the paint list at the start of the video was just bonus. Thank you!

[@ThePaintingCoach]

No problem! I'm glad it helped! If you have Orks, then I've got a Ghazgkhul Thraka tutorial uploading tonight!

[@Beau74]

@@ThePaintingCoach Thanks! By the way, would you foresee any issues if for primer I used just a can of Wraith Bone spray and not the Grey Seer/Corax White combo you suggested?

[@dumbdickler670]

@@Beau74 how'd it go?

[@Beau74]

@@dumbdickler670 Pretty good! We're now about, oh, 60 orks in now? The skin in particular comes out really well, and I've received some positive comments. And yes the contrast makes things easier but it doesn't mean you can just slap it on, it's still very important to make sure that the paint isn't pooling in places where you don't want it to (one or two of my boys has a darker green spot on the top of their head because of this). Overall though, it's a really good paint scheme that is a solid compromise for anyone who wants their Orks to look good WITHOUT spending hours on each individual boy.

[@dumbdickler670]

@@Beau74 that's good to hear since I'm just about to put my first army together. From what I can tell, the specific green he used in this video isn't available so I'll be trying some different greens, but I was also planning on using wraith bone as a base rather than the mix he suggests. Hope it turns out well

[@andrewcarney3088]

The best Ork tutorial I've ever seen, and I've watched a lot. It's taken me a total of 48 hours to paint 14 orks, with over seventy other models to go. This will help me get my spare limbs and my nobs good to go.

Wow. I'm only just getting back into 40k after a 30 Yr break, and the techniques have changed so much! I loved playing orks in the old days, but I never really mastered the skin tones, and I tend to go heavy on the infantry with orks (makes the fights messy and orky, as they should be) and I was getting put off by how time consuming I thought it would be. This is the first time I've seen contrast paint used so effectively and simply, though. You've converted me before I'd even picked up a paintbrush. Sub earned as well 👍

Thanks Peter - and welcome back to 40K! I'm glad the vido was useful and that you're going to paint all those orks! Thanks for watching and for the sub - I appreciate it!

I've had a fear of buying and painting works for this reason alone. I've seen many terrible paint jobs by novice or armatures when it comes to Orks. But that was back in the 90s or very early 2000s.

[@TheRealRodent]

I painted a Blood Bowl Orc team years ago (early 1990s) using similar techniques and extremely simple paints. Bleached Bone basecoat on all... white I found was too bright, and I never basecoat with black. Skin tones I used were: - Smaller Orcs on the team like the throwers and liners: Base Scorpion Green... wash with Goblin... highlight with Scorpion. - Medium Orcs like the blitzers: Base Goblin Green... wash with Goblin/Dark Angels (3 parts Goblin, 1 part Dark Angels)... highlight with Goblin. - Large Orcs like the blockers: Base Dark Angels... highlight with Goblin. No Wash. The Goblin Green gives a real matte-finish to the skin and adds shading at the same time. When combined with matching armour, it gave a real dynamic look to them.

That looks great, thanks for sharing this. Could you help me with a couple of questions please? Sorry if these are dim questions, but before last month it'd be 15-20 years since I last painted a miniature. How long does it take for the contrast paint to dry? Also, could I ask what number brush you'd recommend for this?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

No problem - glad it helped! Depends how thick you put it on - 5 mins maybe? I use a size 1 and 0 brush generally, making sure I don't have too much paint on it 👍🏻

@@ThePaintingCoach Thank you 🙂

[@ThePaintingCoach]

No problem - and welcome back to the hobby!

[@scoobydruid]

This approach is brilliant! The primer was unclear to me - did you use corax white or grey seer?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Thanks David - it was grey seer first, then corax white from above

[@kevinwakelam2677]

Great tutorial! What colours would you use to further highlight the skin ?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Thanks! Probably something like Krieg Khaki or Ogryn Camo 👌🏻

[@ivanschoelink6179]

Hey man! Love you video and used it on my own models and it turned out great. I do have one question though, how do you correct tiny mistakes that landed on the skin? Do you have a specific layer colour to use over it? Because the plaguebuerer doesn't really cover without an undercoat

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Glad you like it - you can try something like ogryn camo as a highlight - otherwise you may have to repaint that section. If you find it happens a lot - try doing all the model first and then the skin last

[@LordFulgrim]

Great video, would like to see you paint my sons next

[@ThePaintingCoach]

When they get a release 😉

Hi painting coach! Is the new Mantis Warrior Green a good replacemente for biel tan green + plaguearer flesh?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Hmm it is a very powerful colour - check the end of my kroot video to see what you think

[@mitchelferrari1410]

Looks awesome, just started a hoard and this makes painting less daunting. Is the biel-tan a shade pot or contrast paint? Also did you spray the corax over grey seer just from above for lighting affects or did you cover the entire model

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Hope it helps! Biel Tan is a shade - so one of the washes - i sprayed corax white from above to give a zenithal light

[@mitchelferrari1410]

@@ThePaintingCoach thanks for the response, it definitely does. Will be watching more of your tutorials soon

[@ThePaintingCoach]

No problem - thanks I appreciate it!

[@mitchelferrari1410]

@@ThePaintingCoach I only want to buy one primer, which would you use if you could only use one?

[@themercenaryco]

Quick question for you. You said that you primed it Grey Seer and then put Corax White over top of it. Was that the Corax White Primer or the Paint?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

No problem - it was the spray If you haven't got any you could try a really soft drybrush perhaps

[@DrDunce-wj8ke]

love it! too bad i'm already committed to a paint scheme, otherwise i would go contrast paints. they save so much time

[@ThePaintingCoach]

They work really well for Orks

[@22kokoszka]

Hi! Great movie! I have a question, can I use contrast green paint on the Plaguebearer Flesh instead of Biel-Tan Green? Will I get a similar effect? I'm a total noob, especially with contrast paints: D

[@ThePaintingCoach]

It will probably cover it up too much, so you will need to mix it with maybe 4 parts contrast medium to 1 part cobtrast paint

[@22kokoszka]

Thank You ! :)

[@ThePaintingCoach]

No problem

[@thejellyranger7679]

I’ve been trying to “reverse-engineer” contrast paints, like blocking out shadows in a darker tone then glazing over with the color I’m going for. It’s tedious but cheap and is a great pseudo-contrast for the poor folks in the house

[@ThePaintingCoach]

The zenithal prime really helps with that
