Awesome, thanks for the tips.  
since I haven’t actually started yet, That’ll be helpful.

Probably a bit late but I just saw your comment here.
 
Since you picked Orks, they’re one of the easiest to paint.  
You want the paint to cover, but not so thick as to obliterate details. If you can see the undercoat through the paint after two-three coats, it’s too thin. If the paint fills in details, it’s too thick.
 
Also, drybrushing is a great technique to learn for tabletop ready models.  
Try this on a spare gun.
 
Paint it black
 
Then get a metal colour (Ironbreaker works well). Get some on the brush, and wipe most of the paint out so there’s hardly any on the brush.
 
Then just ‘waft’ the brush back and forth across the part. It should pick all the high points out in the metal, whilst leaving the lower parts black. Works really well on guns and mechanical parts.
 
You can use gold the same way on the barrels of heat weapons. Done lightly it looks like ‘bronzing’ from heat.

I’m actually just starting to make a Ork army and I want to paint it right. Any suggestions?

Damn anon, get on our level.

makes sense

Are you a filthy heretic?

Click the tag and weep. Such clotty messes…

@Jerkface  
I suppose for the rare occasions an image is uploaded which follow the criteria of using too thick paint layers.

Is there a reason “thin your paints” is a tag?
