Acrylic Paint Set VALLEJO Game Color 72.391 Ork Skin Set 4×18 ml

VALLEJO Game Color 72.391 Ork Skin Set 4×18 ml is a compact set of acrylic model paints designed for painting Orc/Ork skin tones on miniatures and wargaming figures. The set contains four water‑based, quick‑drying colors in 18 ml dropper bottles formulated for brush and airbrush use. These paints belong to the Game Color range, intended to provide consistent pigmentation and good coverage on primed plastic, metal and resin surfaces used in tabletop modelling.

Advantages

The Ork Skin Set offers a coordinated palette that simplifies skin basecoats, midtones and highlights with uniform flow and opacity across the included colors. Water‑thinnable and acrylic‑based, the paints dry rapidly to a matte finish and are suitable for layering, glazing and mixing. Their formulation supports both hand‑painting techniques and airbrush application when thinned correctly, allowing controlled shading and seamless transitions on small surfaces.

Suitable for

• Painting Orc/Ork skin on tabletop miniatures and wargaming models
• Layering and glazing to achieve skin highlights and shadows
• Brush and airbrush application on primed plastic, metal or resin miniatures
• Hobby projects that require quick‑drying acrylic paints with consistent colour matching

When it may not be suitable

This set is focused on skin tones and shading for Orc/Ork figures and does not include metallics, specialized inks, or varnishes. For large surface painting or non‑miniature artwork you may require larger quantities or paints formulated specifically for canvas or model terrain. As with all acrylics, these paints are not suitable for unprimed plastics or porous surfaces without proper surface preparation.

Key specifications

• Contents: 4 bottles of acrylic paint, each 18 ml
• Type: Water‑based acrylic, matte finish when dry
• Application: Suitable for brush and airbrush (thin before airbrushing)
• Drying: Fast drying, suitable for layering and glazing techniques
• Compatible surfaces: Primed plastic, metal and resin miniatures

How to use

Start by priming the miniature with a compatible primer to ensure adhesion. Shake each bottle before use and apply thin, even coats; multiple thin layers provide better results than a single thick coat. For airbrush application, thin the paint with the manufacturer‑recommended thinner or water until it reaches the correct viscosity for your airbrush. Allow each layer to dry before applying subsequent layers, highlights or washes. Clean brushes and airbrush components with water immediately after use.

What to consider before purchase

• Set contains four 18 ml acrylic bottles specifically for Orc/Ork skin tones
• Requires a primer; not formulated for use on unprimed or highly porous materials
• Additional products such as washes, metallics or varnish are sold separately

Usage recommendations

For consistent results on Orc/Ork miniatures, prime in a neutral or dark tone, apply basecoat with thin layers from the Ork Skin Set, use glazing to build smooth transitions, and finish with a protective matte varnish. When airbrushing, test the thinned paint on scrap material to set pressure and flow before working on the model.
