A grittier and more subdued Ork skin recipe that aligns with Ork appearances in video games and other visual media rather than the brighter and more cartoony skin recipes that are more commonly found on tabletop.

  1. Basecoat skin using Deathworld Forest
  2. Apply thin layers of Elysian Green along muscle fibres, leaving recesses dark
  3. Glaze skin using extra thin Elysian Green to smooth the transition between recesses and raised muscle
  4. Highlight raised muscles with thin layers of Ogryn Camo , following the muscle direction
  5. Glaze skin using a 1:1 mix of Elysian Green and Ogryn Camo to smooth the transition between previous layers
  6. Highlight fine details with a thin 1:1 mix of Ogryn Camo and Ushabti Bone
  7. Glaze thinner areas of skin such as lips, nose, ears, and knuckles using Kislev Flesh
  8. Glaze lips using Carroburg Crimson for added colour
