Ork (Bad Moons) Plate


Armour Tutorial
Hey everyone! I wanted to share
with you my process and paint
recipe for the Bad Moon Big Mek
that I'm currently painting. This can
be adapted for most other base
colours, where the painting style is
to look stylised, but weathered.
Just make sure to adapt what
washes and paints you use, as the
choices below are purely for a
yellow base colour of plate armour
:)

The first thing I did was to spray


the separate parts in GW Chaos
Black spray, after drilling a small
hole into an 'unseen' part and
gluing a bit of paperclip into it, with
a tiny drop of superglue. This
means that it will stay put whilst I'm
painting, but is easy enough to
remove (using a pair of pliers and
gently twisting the paperclip) once
I've finished with it.

I then, using a W&N Series 7, size


00 bush, painted three base layers
of thinned-down GW Averland
Sunset onto the plate armour
areas, leaving the rest black.

After this had dried, using a W&N


Watercolour Series, size 00 brush,
painted a glaze using firstly GW
Seraphim Sepia, then (after it had
dried), a smaller area of Reichland
Fleshshade, then an even smaller
area (again, once the previous
layer had dried), with Agrax
Earthshade. The areas that I
painted were the recesses, but
also the sharp edges.

Once all of the washes had dried, I


painted with a W&N Series 7, size
00 brush a thinned-down 1-to-1
layer of GW Averland Sunset and
GW Flash Gitz Yellow around the
plate armour areas, but feathering
out so that the washes and the
layer paint blended (but not TOO
blended (I still wanted it to look
stylised, not photo-realistic).

Once this had all dried, I did the


same thing, but in a smaller area,
with pure thinned-down GW Flash
Gitz Yellow. The idea was that I still
wanted him to have areas on him
that would still be the 'original Ork
paint job' but for most of him to be
weathered, rusted, etc.

After everything had dried, I went it


with slightly thinned-down GW
Ulthian Grey and edge-highlighted.
I made sure that you could still see
the layers of washes on the edges,
so kept the edge highlighting thin
enough so that you didn't obscure
the washes. The premise of this
was that I wanted it to look a little
like the video game 'Borderlands'.
I've always been a huge fan of the
game and wanted to emulate (very
loosely) the look of the game.

I shall cover the other elements of


him in other tutorials, but I hope
that you found this useful :)
