Most of the colors used are GW, with the odd Reaper Pro Paints thrown in (mostly the metal parts were done using their Dragon Black and Dragon White).

Reaper Pro Paints have this weird consistence and less than stellar covering properties that makes them really frustrating to paint with, but which actually do work great when used for gradient work. Another thing I like to use is white ink, along with a bit of sepia brown.

The ork skin is done mostly in olive greens, starting from a base or Tamiya Black Green (GW's catachan green with a dash of black works even better, IMO), and highlighted up to GW cammo green, with a bit of Bleached Bone/ Ivory mixed in for the last highlights. I find it that Bleached Bone works best for highlighting green skin because it makes the skin warmer than it'd turn out if Skull White was used for this.
