Does anyone still use the Ork Clans for a basis of their Ork Armies???
Colour scheme or Army List?

It is the 3rd Millennium. For more than a hundred months Games Workshop has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Nottingham. It is the foremost of wargames by the will of the neckbeards, and master of a million tabletops by the might of their inexhaustible wallets. It is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with business strategies from the early Industrial Revolution Age. It is the Carrion Lord of the wargaming scene for whom a thousand veteran players are sacrificed every day, so that it may never truly die. Yet even in its deathless state, GW continues its eternal vigilance. Mighty battleforce starter-sets cross the online-store-infested miasma of the internet, the only route between distant countries, their way lit by a draconian retail trade-agreement, the legal manifestation of the GW's will. Vast armies of lawyers give battle in GW's name on uncounted websites. Greatest amongst its soldiers are the Guardians of the IP, the Legal Team, bio-engineered super-donkey-caves. Their comrades in arms are legion: the writing team and countless untested rulebooks, the ever vigilant redshirts, and the writers of White Dwarf, to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from other games, their own incompetence, Based Chinaman - and worse. To support Games Workshop in such times is to spend untold billions. It is to support the cruelest and most dickish company imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of sales discounts and Warhammer Fantasy Battle, for so much has been dropped, never to be re-published again. Forget the promise of cheaper digital content and caring about the fanbase, for in the GW HQ there is only profit-seeking, Space Marines and Sigmarines. There is no fun amongst the hobby shops, only an eternity of raging and spending, and the laughter of former employees who left GW to join better companies. |

Blood Axes and Goffs. All my Boyz are Goff boys (complete with checks, cause I dont wanna paint camo on 40+ boys), and all the Blood Axes are typical camo sneaky gits. The Warboss has both camo and Goff checks as a result to represent the combined warband.

I follow a Goff clan color scheme,lots of checks and dagz,maybe a bit too much red,but predominatly black.
I also stick close to clan ideals as far as FOC, lots of slugga mobz & Nobz.
Actually considering dicontinuing using lootaz because they seem out of place in a Goff army.

My army is painted up as Evil Sunz, which justifies my extensive use of Trukks, Battlewagons, and Deffkoptas. I might add some Warbikerz later.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made. |

Very true.
According to the fluff, loads of shooting, loads of flash gear too.
And my favorite Ork of all time: Nazdreg.
Got other reasons for Bad Moons too:
1 - Haven't painted anything yellow for a while.
2 - Bad Moons are really rarely seen on the tabletop.
3 - I am a closet petrol head and I have an obssession with trying to obtain a big yellow shouty American Car:

Snakebites are kool. They would be my third choice after Bad Moons and Deathskulls.
I like Freebooterz too.

Well I'm stuck between Bad Moons, Death Skulls and Speed Freeks (Not the Red Sunz Version).
I like Bad Moons because they have my favourite Ork (Nazdreg) and the colour scheme is cool. They are also rarely seen on the tabletop and have a reason to contain a high number of "Lootas" which are described in the codex and in most of the Ork background as "Wealthy Orks with very big guns". Also gives me an excuse to use Kaptin Badruk and his Boyz.
I like Deathskulls because of their background. I like converting vehicles and with their background, they have access to just about the entire list fluff wise.
And in regards to Speed Freeks, eventhough the army isn't all that effective, I like bikes, in games and IRL. It's just very thematic and I want to try and use the FW Biker Warboss.
