Rogue Trader models sculpted by Kev Adams
Colours used:
Skin:
50% Goblin Green, 25% white, 25% sunburst yellow, and a dash of Windsor and Newton Apple Green ink to thin. Wash with GW Green Ink to shade the skin then reapply the base colour to all except the deepest portions. Highlight adding yellow and white each layer, the last two layers adding just white. Afterward glaze with W&N Apple Green Ink.
Blue:
Enchanted blue washed over with W&N ultramarine ink (maybe a bad idea as this turned out not to be waterproof when dry and so would bleed into other colours). Add white for highlights.
Fatigues:
Vomit brown washed with Devlan Mud. Add white to the vomit brown for highlights.
Red:
Evil Sunz Scarlet adding white and yellow for highlights, glazed with W&N vermillion ink.
Yellow:
Bad Moon Yellow washed with W&N orange ink. Add white to the yellow for highlights.
Base:
Bubonic Brown base edge. Sand: Bubonic brown and burnt umber ink. Bleached bone then white drybrushed on for highlights.
Classic Warhammer 40K 
Lovely work on those Orks – I might try a similar colour scheme for their skin as the colour GW uses is too dark for my liking (well I’ve used it heaps but never been 100% happy with the results).

Nice work here. Despite the use of 2e models and Bad Moonz colours you’ve (somehow!) managed to paint them in a way that avoids them looking like a Saturday morning cartoon. That Warboss is one that I’ll probably end up painting in red (or green) laquered armour, just like the old Chapter Approved-era paintjob. 🙂

Thanks mate! Pretty pleased with how they turned out and I’ve got some more to do soon(ish!).

These guys look great! I love these old wonky looking orks. I used to have one of those old heavy weapon orks, he he. The painting looks great too, really capturing that 2nd edition flair!

Thanks Eric, despite the fact my painting has improved a lot, these are still some of my favourites!
Sorry to bombard twitter with these old posts… that was accidental!

[…] I guess he will be some sort of mercenary ork tagging along with the Blood Axes. I already have a Bad Moon version (or is it Vashkor Drool?) of this same model, and it is one of my favourite orks of all […]
