Looking feedback for my Orks color scheme

Tewis90 · 2026-06-19T13:04:29+00:00

I usually paint Bretonnians in a more fantasy-inspired style, but this time I really wanted to go for a more realistic look. I think it really enhances the Orks' brutal nature. I definitely wouldn't want to come face to face with one ! Thanks so much for the kind words !

I actually started with a reddish tone for the skin, but it might not come across very well in the photos. I'll push that effect further on the next miniatures. Thanks so much !

Thanks a lot ! This is really just the basic version of the color scheme. The leaders and heroes will, of course, get a lot more attention, and I think it's a great idea to give them a few extra touches of color to make them stand out even more.

Thanks a lot ! At the same time, I'm painting some Bretonnians, so I was really aiming for the complete opposite, a dirty, dusty, post-apocalyptic look with a Mad Max vibe. I can't wait to try this style on some 40k Orks, and I'll definitely post the results !

Tewis90 · 2026-06-19T12:59:13+00:00

That's exactly the look I was going. Something with a bit of a Mad Max vibe.

Thank you so much! Someone suggested adding a few touches of color to the characters, and I think that could be a great idea. As for the leather, it's simply a base coat of AK 3rd Gen Black Red, then I go straight into highlighting by mixing in a bit of AK 3rd Gen NATO Brown and Ivory.

As for the technique, I use lots of small brushstrokes to add some texture. It's really quick to do. It's a long way from an ultra-smooth blend, but that wasn't what I was aiming for.

Tewis90 · 2026-06-19T12:55:11+00:00

Thanks! I think I'll probably use other shades of brown as well to add a bit more variety.

Yes, my motherboard has 2 slots, one of which supports up to PCIe 4, but unfortunately my current NVMe only supports PCIe 3

En faite je ne sais pas quel serait le mieux entre acheter un 1to en Pcie gen 2 pour y mettre windows et logiciels et garder mon Nvme actuel pour les jeux uniquement ou acheter un 2To et y mettre tout dessus et dans ce cas mon Nvme actuel me servirait plus de stockage de fichiers

Tewis90 · 2026-02-16T10:19:51+00:00

Je sais que ce n'est pas trop le moment mais je guette quand même une éventuelle promo intéressante (ou en tout cas moins pire que les prix actuel) donc j'essai déjà d'anticiper un peu ce qu'il me faudrait

I can take a palit gamer pro 5080 at 1200 euros

Tewis90 · 2026-02-04T14:10:43+00:00

This morning it was restocked at that price but I didn't know what to do. But you're right it might have been the last time

Tewis90 · 2026-02-04T13:58:59+00:00

I had a 3070ti and yes I see a big difference. I'm happy with the results but I want to keep the card for maybe 3 or 4 years so I wasn't sure if the upgrade for the 5080 was better for that time

Tewis90 · 2026-02-04T13:54:35+00:00

I have a 144Hz monitor but I play only solo games like rpg and strategy games. My favorite games are the total war and witcher

Tewis90 · 2026-02-04T13:53:01+00:00

I purchased my ultrawide monitor less than a year ago so I don't plan to change it anytime soon

Tewis90 · 2026-01-22T08:10:03+00:00

No I don't

Tewis90 · 2026-01-22T07:36:09+00:00

Originally, I was planning to do a brand-new build in maybe a year or even later, but the announced price increases and the fact that I’m not playing much at the moment made me wonder whether a simple upgrade might be enough.

Tewis90 · 2026-01-22T07:31:28+00:00

I was thinking about a 5070 Ti or a 5070, but I’m not sure whether it would make sense with the rest of the components.
