It's a handy conceptual jump when coming from another army like Space Marines; Orks paint stuff differently than the Astartes tech-servitors. <br /><br />How does an ork paint? With a bucket and a fat old brush, and the brush is probably optional. Go ahead, be a little messy with the colour, it's going to get washed and drybrushed anyway.<br /> <br />Then, when adding chips and scrapes think about how they got there; "Got this one runnin' into some 'umie gits whot thot they could lob a grennade into me engin." Stuff like that.<br /><br />Might not work for you but it's really helped me get into painting vehicles, especially ones as "characterful" as orks tend to be.<br />Hope this helps.<br />The Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07015363994367452309noreply@blogger.com
