Painted: Assault on Black Reach Ork Boyz

Today I have finally finished a project started during Orctober 2023: 20 Ork Boyz from the Assault on Black Reach starter box. I decided to paint them as Bad Moonz, because yellow does not usually appear on my palette nor in most of my projects. I'm really happy with how this merry bunch turned out!

If someone wants to achieve a similar result, here is the recipe:

1. Usual slapchop prep: Black primer, light grey drybrush (or rather an overbrush) followed by a lighter white drybrush to achieve the gradient.
2. Militarum Green (Citadel Paints) for the skin.
3. A few coats of white on the armour followed by Ancient Honey (Army Painter). Putting it on a regular slapchopped areas will make them look greenish in places, thus reinforcing the white. It can be done during prep.
4. Snakebite Leather (Citadel Paints) for the pants.
5. Basilicanum Grey (Citadel Paints) for the shirts.
6. Wyldwood (Citadel Paints) for leather elements.
7. Blood Angels Red (Citadel Paints) for the loincloths and topknots.
8. Black Templar (Citadel Paints) for the boots and weapon hafts.
9. Leadbelcher (Citadel Paints) on metal elements.
10. Hardened Leather (Army Painter) and Blood Angels Red for those metal elements that you want to be another colour.
11. Agrax Earthshade (Citadel Paints) on bigger metal elements, followed with Nuln Oil (Citadel Paints) as an optional step for some of the melee weapons.
12. Leadbelcher light drybrushed on the weapons.
13. Mephiston Red (Citadel Paints) for the eyes.
14. Ushabti Bone (Citadel Paints) for the teeth.
15. Base: Agrellan Earth (Citadel Paints) + Agrax Earthshade + Tyrand Skull (Citadel Paints).
