going through the wip I have realised most people paint their orcs and goblins skin a grass kinda coloured green. I personally paint mine rotting kind of colours like off green and yellow. is there some part of the books that mentions skin colour of the orcs or is it just personnel opinions? |

I resisted green skin for a long time. I finally relented amd added it to my skin pallet. I use a variety of old GW paints to make my Orcs look like the scum they are. I found that a base coat of Camo Green, Desert Yellow, Kommando Khaki, Codex Gray, Tanned Flesh, Dark Flesh, or Rotting Flesh provided the debased skin tones my lads need. For my higher order orcs, they either get Dark Flesh (Isengard Uruks) or Codex Gray (Mordor Uruks) or Camo Green (Morannon Orcs). After the base coat, mine all get a dip of old GW Brown Ink/Future/Water. No Snot Green for my lads! Jimmy |

i do similar to you, just recently saw some snot green coloured orcs and wondered how everyone else did theirs. bluish orcs look pretty cool and wacky too i might have to try them out |

Loving the dead guy! I tend to paint my orcs to be of a dirty green (never bright) light brown, a birch kind of colour and sometimes red. I reserve my blue orcs for my mordor uruk-hai. |

Orc skin can be whatever you want it to be. Just experiment with different colour and washes. Mix unlikely colours together and just see what colours you come up with. |

If you want to keep it like in the movies you can use lots of colours, really. But they need to be more muted/earthy tones, not the neon green we are used to find in Warhammer Orcs & Goblins. |

Make them filthy - the underlying skin colour should be apparent but not 'in your face', if you see what I mean. Take a good look through framecaplib for loads of images of orcs and uruks and goblins. |

Anything that's dull and dirty will serve, really. I myself use Kommando Khaki and Bubonic Brown, but there are also very nice examples using blue, grey, brown, yellow, red and, yes, green. A mix tends to look best, IMO. |
