    How to speed paint ork bikers

    I am just now seeing the light after months of carefully painting my Deathwing, and now want to paint something dirty and fun, bringing me back to my long-neglected ork bikers. However, I have no desire to spend a long time painting these bad boys, so who's got some tips to get them painted decently in a short amount of time?

    Use this Ork Nob by Goatboy and paint the bike the same as the metallics.

    Here's a quick bike: paint silver, wash, paint contrasting highlight color.

    So both of these tutorials feature the older paints. Will they work when "converted" to the new GW paints?

    I've found the best way to speed paint Ork stuff is to throw money at Goatboy.
    Give a man fire, and you keep him warm for a night.
