you sir are full of win!

how'd you paint the ork skin?

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!
I have never received so many nice comments!
I LOVE your ideas!
I'll add as many Ponchos, Sombreros, Mustaches, Tacos, Nachos, Tequila, maracas and Squig runners (bull runners)
as Possible!!!!
So I nearly finished my Deffdread (Just a few more details)
And I started a médico (painboy)
Here are a few snaps of the deffdread (fear my horrible checks! )



I realize these just look like bad moons, So I want to create a Logo.. Any Ideas?
I'll Get started on my Green stuff...

I base coated the skin with karnolic green then built up with camo green until i used straight camo green.. that's all haha

Great idea!

Please built a Deffdread with a Sombrero! This wpuld be truly epic!

I must say that the painting is really good, but in no way that's a Spanish Ork Army. It's very common to mix spanish and mexincan.

Let me put some light into spanish stuff.

First of all, colours. Spanish colours are the ones you can se in our flag.

Then lets start with the dressing. The most well known "Torero" or "Matador" as you probaby know it.

It uses blue, red, gold white or even purple. History says that it all began when a spanish officer had to fight a bull using only his cape and parade sword.


Now some more common dressing. Have a look and enjoy.

And now for finishing excuse my english, im doing my best.

You should convert one of your killer cans to look like a giant can of Tecate..

Keep posting those images!

Your logo should be a cactus, and then make it an all Morksican army.

Love the idea!

I second the idea that your Trukk should ride low, or be an El Camino/Ranchero.

Great work.

Well once its all done, you can call it a "Mexicanized" army rather than mechanized

El Camino with a looted Heavy-bolter strapped to the top!

This is entertaining stuff. I hope to see more of it.

If you're going to use ponchos, you need a Clint Eastwood kinda guy! Use an eldar body with a Orky head, chiroot and poncho

You clan can be the The Ugly, The Ugly and the Ugly!!!

OO O OO OO oooo Waaa Waaa Waagh

As a Half Spaniard, I am also offended.

Mexicans are Mexican, Spanish are Spanish, speaking the same language does not make them interchangeable, or even similar!

To put it in context, it's like saying I'm going to make an Australian themed army, then putting them all in Canadian Mountie uniforms. That's the same level of similarity Mexicans and Spanish have in common.

That being said, that a nice looking MEXICAN army you have there!

i like it! although i would maybe make one suggestion: it seems that you're mixing different Ork color schemes (bad moons, goffs, snakebite etc.) i'd stick with a single unified color scheme. i like the first pics with the yellow. i think that'd go best with you are neat theme.

and you need to give the Warboss the BIGGEST SOMBRERO!

Okay Exams are over
I'm going to go buy some greenstuff tomorrow and i'll start converting!!
I found some of those Ogre Grotz (goblinares or something) and There is one holding a stick which it perfect length for a Piñata (yes.. its Mexican but hey.. why not?)
So I started painting a killy kan, and I tried out a Cactus logo (thanks Kavv)
What do ya think??

hahaha yes I know, sorry for the Mix up.. And personally, I think Span is much cooler than Mexico (no offense to Mexicans)
And If you want to make a Aussie Ork force feel free hahah.. you could give them those weird cork-hats with crocodile teeth and cans of VB
However I too, do get quite angry when people stereotype all Australians to be Bogans with that terrible 'G-day mate accent (Bogan is a Australian version of a American Hick )

I'll finialy have some converted pics up by then end of the weekend!

You're missing the point, your army has nothing to do with Spain. NOTHING. It has everything to do with Mexico.

One is a European Mediterranean country, the other is a Central American country. Are England and the US the same? Do you think a Brit would be offended and dumbfounded at the level of ignorance if you insisted on calling him an American even after you were explained the difference?

It doesn't really matter, it's just an Ork army. But if you don't want to come off as insanely ignorant, I suggest you rename your thread to MEXICO and leave it at that. You have been set straight on the specifics by a Spaniard, I think you can take my word for it.

Again, nice army though lol.

I love the cactus on the (killacan? I don't know ork units...)

Don't let people get you down. It's a funny army concept, and your painting/modeling does it justice. I'm of Mexican descent, and I don't find this offensive at all.

Yes thank you Jimsolo..
I understand that they are completely different countries in different continents and the only thing they have in common is the language and amazing beer
Anyway I didn't mean to offend anyone by trying to do something different.. and MajorTom11, You might not like this next photo

yess.. I tried to paint a Spanish flag


Size comparison


I might make by using the Logo the Spanish colours or Mexican.. same thing (Joking Tom) with a cactus replacing the symbol

I'll paint both up tonight and see which one looks better

Definately like the army and the concept. Way to go keep up the good work.

Try sculpting a "montera"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montera
and "muleta" wrapped around the body like when the matadors enter the ring
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muleta
The grots are just asking for it.

And to everybody, let´s take this thread tongue in cheek. My first post was in that tone, the OP is just having fun (tho a single sombrero only????? )

And you cant have the colonies back either.

On second thought you might can have a few of those original colonies back.

Yeah. Take back the Carolinas + Georgia. We'll handle Canada for you!

I like the ork`s hat.
why dont you give a gretchin or ork mek an outrageously large hat, it might look cool,

Like how it's coming along.
A cool scenery piece would be a IG officer hanging from a tree ( not by the neck ) in a pinyata outfit painted with vibrant colours.

I love this army, bonus points if you can get "hot sauce" in it somewhere!

Watch out, if youre too stereotypical, you might get people claiming racism

It's a strong word, but not entirely inappropriate. He obviously doesn't care enough to be sensitive to the fact these are 2 entirely different cultures and countries he is lumping into 1 just because they speak the same language.

'They all look the same' is generally taken badly by ethnic groups :S

Love the goff with a metal head I would leave the goffs the way the are they look great.
