So i have an obsession with zombies and would love to convert my orks to zombie orks. Now, obviously it wouldnt change how i play them, i just want them to look like zombies. Does anyone have suggestions on what to glue to them or what colors i should do? I have

-thraka
-ork boyz
-nobz
-koptas
-meks
-burnas
-BW's
-Deff Dread
-1x painboy
Anyone with tips or anything that would help would be great. I dont want to start untill i have an idea of what to do.

Orks are fungus. Just somthing people might say to you during game play. Personally I dont care that ur making fungus a fungus army.
So to do an undead ork Id do a wash of skull white to make pale sections of the skin and add wounds to them. Perhaps drill holes into them and pop out their eyes. Extra rust on vehicals/weapons.

Yeah I'd try to find a good pale green for the base coat and at some grey and skull white. You could get some bits from some zombies from vampire counts or maybe tomb kings to give some skeletal arms and stuff. But I agree to put lots of rust on things like the other guy says, and definitely a skull theme on the vehicles- if you did all the orky symbols in while it could look skull like. I dunno, that's just my idea. Drilling out the eye-holes would be sweet too.

Do them w/ sort of sickly/albino white skin (with black circles under eyes, etc.) like the WHFB ghouls and make all their weapons and such pitted and rusty.

A orkhide shade basecoat. Followed by knarloc green. Drybrush half knarloc green half rotting flesh mix. Drybrush rotting flesh. With tons of gore! BTW what are you going to do about a zombie dread?

Looks like someone beat you to it. Not a bad job over all, but I'd have done more.
AND SO CAN YOU!
