Making models part of my armies

To answer Ron's Question about how we unify the models in our armies  I took a look at my models and came with the following:

Colors:
First long ago I decided that I wanted my orks to have red somewhere, for some it is red pants for others red shirts, to complement red I mostly use 3 main colors a shade of white, Yellow and brown as can be seen in my Big Mek

here are some other examples of unity by color pallet:

Finishing tidiness and feel:
Next it is unity by style where I paint my Space Mirnes as mostly fresh of the factory while my orks are not so tidy.

Bases:
The other part that I use to create unity is base style

For my Genestealers it is a metallic color and deck style  for my orks it is brown and earth style while for my Ultramarines it is green base with grass style in all the bases whenever possible.

while lately I been experimenting with coding the troop type with glyphs in my orks as can be seen here:

so those are it is my thoughts on how to create unity in a sea of chaos painting  to accomplish the following:

My worst paint jobs.

OK I managed to sneak a post meanwhile the ever watchful eye of my wife looks elsewhere,  this post is about my worst paint jobs:

As you can see my one of my first paint jobs.
those are the representation of full units  that are all equally painted. the rest is alread stored for a house moving.  I never painted the flock,  and even used the base color as the color for the clothing.
as an excuse I wanted to get them out the painted table fast. but as a result I think that the color scheme just make them look ugly.

I have  never had the time to repaint them.

for the runer up for  those that  follow me have already see  a picture, my first ork dread ,I think that the paint job could have been better.

now after comparing them to my newer paint jobs I can appreciate my personal progress in the paint skills.
