Warboss and a few nobs with some BLack Orc pieces. Not all the way done but it's a start.

I like them. The red-orange-yellow scheme gives them an interesting sort of sunburst look, while still making me associate them with rusty metal. Can't decide whether I like the contrast of the classic green base rim or if I'd prefer it in a more muted earth-tone, to match the basing. Also, if you ever want to do a lava-based army, I think this scheme would work great for the OSL.

Nice work!

I like it! The colors really pop.

Inspires me to dig out my Black Orc box and start convertin.

**Green is Best!**

While they all look fantastic, I really love your standard bearer. Very ominous.

Great job. I may steal the concept in the future if I ever get done painting what I have.

**RiTides**

Wow, what a unique look! Very cool

**tony**

Love the warboss

**The Good Green**

Those Black orc heads look great on the nobs, and I really like your color scheme. Very cool.

**Sageheart**

this is really cool!

what colors are you using for the armor, my orcs have a similar idea, but i really like what you did with the armor and would love to know how you painted that armor.

great job, makes me want to make some blackorcs into nobz, are the bodies here backorc bodies?

**Sephiroth Mini's**

Hi, I was just wondering if you could post a tutorial on painting these colours and conversions (and the base) as I would be interested in painting my orks the same. ^__^

**Nightwatch**

Why the sudden interest in brightly colored orks? This is the third thread I've seen in as many days...
(Great job by the way, beautiful results)

**yokoyomama**

The Nobs that I posted are not Black Orc bodies, just the heads mostly and some arms. Here is my Nob from my 'Ard Boyz that I actually used the Black Orc body. And as for the armor colors, start with black, then blood red, Blazing Orange, then some Sunburst Yellow highlights. I will work on a tutorial to save a lengthy explanation.

Personally, I'd go with a different colored flesh than what you did. Separate it from the armor visually. Don't go with green if you don't like but a grey or brown based skin would contrast nicely and bring out another dimension to the models.

**physcosamatic**

i like it, makes then look more tuff and mean

**salamander man**

They look great! Good job!

**TakeABow**

I have always loved the Black Ork Models. These look fantastic!

**Albatross**

I love the Waaagh! banner model - I might have to pinch that idea...

**ian00107**

These look awesome, great work on the conversion/idea and good work on the color scheme!
