After playing with this I’ve decided I’m definitely going to prime in black and paint up from there. As you can see it makes it much faster to get a semi-decent looking boy than the greenskin primer did. Neither is anywhere near finished at this point but the boy looks a lot better than the nob in my opinion. I have to pained every detail of the nob whereas black works as a default color on the boy really well. See the boots and the unpainted leather straps on the boy for an example of what I’m talking about.
This has also solidified that I have no intention of running an orc army beyond this 420 points that came with Black Reach. I’m not enjoying these guys like I do the necrons.
