Hopefully this will work for you. I have very little time to paint as well and had many orks to paint. After alot of experimentation I settled on this very simple, very fast paint scheme that has yielded some outstanding results!

1. Basecoat with Gretchin Green Foundation paint. At first you will be thinking "Wow, that looks awful!" However you have to give the Thraka Green a chance to do its magic!

2. Do a full wash with the Thraka Green and let it dry completey

3. Go back and do another full wash but this time focus on the recesses and let the Thraka Green pool up a little in the deep ones.

Now by this point I am pretty satisfied with the skin...Occassionally I might spot recesses with the Thraka Green wash to add a little more contrast. Start to finish is about 15 minutes and I have been told it looks superb and I have to agree.

For the teeth I basecoat Bleached Bone then do a wash with Devlan Mud. You'll have to do a couple more washes with the Devlan Mud and just trace it around as it dries in the recesses and along the top and bottom edge. Another 10 minutes or so total and it looks fantastic as well. Then just spot the eyes with Mechrite Red foundation and all your fleshy bits are done. I left my camera at work so I cant take a pic right now, but I will as soon as I can! Give it a shot though and let me know what you think.
