How should I paint my Ork Biker army? It is pretty much all bikers, lootas and bombers??? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Rly.... nothing at all, please any type of answer is appreciated!!!!!!

The obvious question is which if any clan does the army represent?

If all those bikes and flyers indicate a Kult of Speed, then mostly red.

But if they've looted everything (perhaps even some of the bikes), then Deffskull Lootas might be a better fit, with a more patchwork colour scheme(i.e. most bits in random colours, representing whatever original vehicle/weapon they were stolen/scavenged from). Bits the orks have repainted are more likely to be blue, their lucky colour, and blue warpaint on the orks themselves can look good.

Usually a biker army will be Evil Sunz, so red and more red.

Yeah I was thinking some death skull for the lootas, do you think I can have more than one clan? Like Death Skull lootas and then evil sunz bikes?

And the other thing was what about a bad moonz biker army? With Yellow-black flames? Has anyone ever seen that?

I personally like the idea of Evil Sunz, but I'm not a big fan of red and yellow. Personally I was thinking of starting a "Speed Freaks" Ork army using this scheme...

Of course like a million of my plans it never came to fruition and that buggy is the only model I have actually painted in that scheme! I actually painted it back when I first started collecting in the Gorkamorka days and just recently repainted the panels to test my scheme... hence why the flames look "ok" but the rest of the model looks terrible.

So yeah, in my opinion the best thing to do is just come up with a scheme YOU like and go with that rather than trying to fit it with the existing clans.

Dude, they're Orks! Paint them up in crazy colors! Red goes fasta, Blue is lucky, and Yellow is shooty! Throw in all together, make 'em ragtag and crazy.

But most of all, read my signature.

Lol yeah I think I might just mix them all together, ork style .

Red ones go fasta and all that. Learn how to paint red and go from there.

Not a problem, multiple clans do get together for a waaaaagh. But equally, not all lootas are in the deffskull lootas - nothing wrong with some Evil Sunz lootas, and it might make your army look a bit more cohesive.

Mine are Deffskullz. The blue really makes them pop.
