Now then, when making a looted wagon, you want to make it as orky as possible, with more than just a good paint job.
Ork Glyphs are great for this, but they cost extortionate amounts.
This gave me the idea: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/259984.page

But here i will show you how to make them out of a bit of card.
First grab yourself some scissors and a craft/hobby knife (sharp one) if you want detailedier ones
and a glue stick and some card/uber-thick and tough paper.

Cut out a small square for your glyph "base"

Then think of an orky design draw in on your card then cut it out carefully.

Remember to glue it on...

**((SERIOUSLY WATCH YOU FINGERS, I SLICED MY PINKY OPEN MAKING ONE!))**

Here are some i made earlier.
I put a bit of black on so you could see it easier but that sorta failed.


Remember not to be too precise, they're orks!
any designs work well, teef, skullz , a jaw, bones, all sorts!!

I'm thinking of making a sequel for more detailed glyphs once i get some more practice.
Have fun and I hope it helps you!!

me finks dat iz my thread and me happy to give inspiration . i could use this fer me ork n Gutrippa (u know, the big, grumpy, ogre-body-in-the-middle-of-a-blob-of-greenstuff).

Good thread.

lookin good. I find dipping in glue adds the cokesion to the models so they dont look stuck on and made of paper so it paints the same way as the plastic ...just a thought

Interesting idea. I may use these in the future. Thanks for sharing and posting this thread.

Really nice Idea.
