I'm going to paint an orc tasmaster and drummer (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catal ... rod1290113)
How do I paint the drum?

Thanks

The skin of the drum looks like graveyard earth/GE + bleached bone highlighted with bleached bone and skull white. the frame looks like a base colour of scorched brown, and maybe highlights of GE and white.

Thanks

Should I use some a wash to give it a dirty look?

Yep! and to tone down any highlights that look too bright.

So I should use it after highlighting?

Devlan Mud?

Dvelan mud, yes. devlan is one of the most versatile washes.

After highlighting or before, it doesn't matter. if you highlight a certain bit, and you think it contrasts way too much, then bring in the wash and dampen the highlight colour a little.

I've finished my orc command including the drummer:
