Hello everyone,
Unfortunately I don't have access to a decent camera ATM otherwise I would show you how the Ork came out. Happy to say that it looks great! The dull coat really took the high gloss off and hes ready to hit the field ( still needs some basing work but its good enough for gov't work now ;) )
Also, I have one of my three chimeras pretty much done. Seeing as how well the soft tone worked on the Ork I am going to forgo my normal highlighting/washing and give it a shot. My only concern is how I am going to get the undercarriage taken care of without making a mess. Wish me luck!

The Washed Ork Project
One last picture for today before I get back to Star Trek: TOS and painting Chimeras
This is an experimental (for me) painting style that I am going to try for my Ork army. I want something quick so I can mow through the hoards of boyz.
What I did:
1) White base coat of Rust-Oleum Specialty Plastic Primer Spray ( FANTASTIC PRODUCT)
2) Colored in the shoulder pads, metals and boots with standard Games Workshop paint
3) Used Citadel Foundation: Tausept Ochre for the leather straps
4) Washed the skin in Citadel Wash: Thrakka Green ( directly on the white primer )
5) Washed the jump suit ( again on the primer ), straps and metals in Citadel Wash: Devlan Mud
6) Coated the whole model in The Army Painter's Quickshade: Soft Tone
Whats really great about this project is that I didn't have to obsess hardly at all over the finer details. I didn't expect the washes to do such a great job at highlighting/shading as they did. Hell, now that this guy has set for a little bit with the Soft Tone he looks as good if not better than my imp guard auxiliaries that I painted by hand! (This cheeses me off to no end BTW)
Anyway, that's all I got for right now. I plan to swing by the FLGS tomorrow and pick up the Anti-Shine Matt Varnish that The Army Painter recommends to take off that super high gloss finish.
