How to paint Ork Kommandos

Another one of the painting tutorials that I've just transfered to video.  I love using these guys (usually with Snikrot) to disrupt enemy lines.  I've since added two guys with rokkits that I use to help pop rhinos or other light vehicles.

I went with a bright paint scheme... partly as a throw back to the 2nd edition kommandos but also to draw attention to them on the table top.  They aren't terribly effective, but they do make a great distraction.

Kommando article posted

Here's a followup for the Kommandos I did back in April. A full article with work in progress shots and a full list of paints I used is up on miniwargaming.com. This was orginally posted to their members area, but is now free to the public (3 months later). I'm interested in the new forgeworld upgrade... so perhaps more Kommandos are in the cards. I used a small mob of them with Snikrot in the 40k tournament that GW hosted and they are a great complement to my 4 deff rolla list :)

Kommandos

Just finished off these guys... Funny thing is that I bought them almost a year ago and finally painted them up. I plan on using them to draw fire and run interference, so I want them to stand out on the battle field... hence the bright colours. Plus its a bit of a throw back to the 2nd edition kommandos.

I'm planning on using these guys at Astronomi-con so that's why I'm doing so many orks right now and not all my new blood angels. I still have to paint up my old metal deff dread and finish the battle wagon I just made the deff rolla for.
