Painting the Ork Warboss

The Ork Warboss is a very large creature he is the biggest of all the Orks and is therefore respected by all lesser Orks, The Warboss will stride into battle with his fellow Orks often clad in his own customized and often looted Wargear.

In this tutorial I will show you how to paint an Ork Warboss through a simple step by step guide.

1. The first step as always is to undercoat the warboss with Chaos black in order to allow other paints to set properly on the model.

2. We will begin by painting the Orks Skin this will be painted with dark angels green.

3. After the dark angels green has dried we will go over the raised areas of the skin with snot green to add a highlighting effect.

4. Now we will begin the armour of the ork we will paint the armour with Tin Blitz go over all the metal bars of the armour with this colour.

5. Once the armour has dried we will now drybrush the armour with Mithril Silver to add a highlight effect.

6. Now we will paint the Warboss' Power Claw and Bolter, Firstly we will paint the power claw with Tin Blitz before highlighting the blades of the Claw with Mithril Silver once this has dried we will paint a Black and White checker effect onto the panel of the claw, The various cables comming out of the claw we will paint with Blood Red.

7. Now we will paint the Ork's Bolter, for the bolter we will again use Tin Blitz before highlighting with mithril silver.

8. Now that we have finished the weapons we will paint the Orks trophy rack, the trophy will be painted very similar to the power claw, Tin Blitz, Mithril Silver and finally a black and white checker effect.

9. We will now paint the Orks boots with Chaos black and highlight with Fortress Grey also make sure to paint all metal details on the boots with Mithril silver.

10. The Orks trusers we will paint Scorched Brown before highlighting with a mix of 2:1 Skull White and Scorched Brown.

11. We will now finish the model by adding some finishing details firstly we will paint the eyes Blood Red, Next we will paint the teeth Bleached Bone and then add a was of Ogryn Flesh. The final detail we will add is a rust effect to the armour and weapons of the Ork we will achieve this effect by watering down Dwarf Bronze and washing it over the area's of metal.
