but I am open to more suggestions!

Boo Crimson Guard.

Go 'Da Howlin' Griffinz!!!!

I thought they would be fun to do after I started my 'Da Brazen Klawz.

Basic concept of my paint scheme is red and blue quartered with a black wash.

With 'Da Howlin' Griffinz you could do a red and yellow quartered with a brown wash.

I think it would look really slick. And I think the quartered looks better and if more fun to paint than the halved.

I know! Thats why I chose dem, caus a u!
I just thought of another chapta, though I wont do it.
Da Cwimson Fists!
An Insult to the Crimson Fists!
(WOOT ORKS TOOK DERE HOMEWORLD!)

We really should make a SM Ork thread, for all SM Orkers...

Anyway, keep giving me opinions and comments and I'll keep giving you ideas or pics!

Well I started one in the showcase. Lets see how well it will do.

the executinors could be the

axecutinas

Nah, eggs taste better!

Wazza isn't a warlord anymore, just a crimeboss(warboss)
But, I have an idea for a new leader, Da Crime Lord!
But he needs a proper name...
Maybe in Chinese!

Any name ideas?
Any?

Well, Please Give Me Ideas!

And I am going to paint up some test mini's of the SM Orks, ta help me decide

matt you need to stop posting so much, take it slow do some painting take some pics and then put em on here. then everyone could help you pick a lot easyer

Sorry, it's just I don't this one to end like the first one
And no the link on the first page is not the first one...

See, don't sweat it if nothing happens on the thread for a couple days. Heck, even a Week can go by without it being Necromancy (though I honestly don't understand why so many forums frown on that- why waste the space with spare threads?)

Wait, you've seen the dreaded 'FIRST ONE'???

I come from the Crystal Hall, a land where Thread Necromancy is a fine art, practiced and handed down from Sage to Newb, and though there may only be 5 pages of threads, those threads regularly top hundreds of pages and thousands of posts- a land of discussions that span years, and continuity is king.

on a off topic note, anyone getting skyrim?

Just pre-ordered. Also, check out the Skyrim thread, in the "video games" forum here.

i know

its goona be soooo good!!!

Why the hell do all my threads go off topic?
Oh, almost finished the SM Ork test minis

sorry, but are you getting skyrim hehehehehehe

No...

Here is the SM Orks pics:

Red and yellow one looks epically cool

now do a mob of them go go go!!!!

So you like the Howlin' Grifonz?

Yeah - I think splitting the helmet and gob with two colours (red/yellow) would look better too.

Also, don't be afraid to mix it up a bit - put a yellow arm band on the red side and vice versa, or both red or yellow, or even white and black checked - they are still Orks - they don't necessarily understand what a rigid uniform is

Unless you have any Stormboyz. Though those would be more Blood Angels, wouldn't they...

Go woth 'Da Howlin Griffinz Red and yellow.

So you all like da howlin' grifonz?
Ok
I'll redo the egsakushana as hia helmet/shoulder pad/leg band didn't turn the right yellow...

I like them both, but I think the Howlin' Grifon is better executed. I also think the red/yellow is easier to see with only one model. A whole squad of either would look great!

The chapter tattoo looks like a red troll skull, to me. It's the missing bottom point on the axe blades that cinch it, I think. Also, try that one with the grey shoulder pad having spikes and the golden pad with no spikes. See if that sells it a little better.

I am rooting for the grey one because of the chapter tat. It's perfect for an ork trying to look like one of the humies, Blood Axes and all.

Also, I'd like to second Arakasi's suggestion for mixing it up to the point of not matching, and the checkers.

Yeah, but these are just tests!
I'm thinking of maybe doing a mob of both, but because of the fluff I've thought up, Dey wont be boyz (well you can't have two mobs of ard boyz, can you )
And, of course, a Kaptin for both

I'd say da Howlin' Grifonz too.

Da Brazen Klawz have shown how good the quartered scheme works for orks
