So, I'm looking to re-paint my entire Orc + Goblin army that was painty in a raggety black by my eleven year old self, but I'm short out of ideas. I'd like to keep away from Red as the main colour, if possible, because half the armies I own are painted red. Blue also features prominently in my armies, but since it's an unusual colour for Orcs, I'll let it slide.

I had one idea, inspired by a pair of running spikes, of all things, which was black clothing with yellow spiky dags. Armour would be painted a dark metallic colour and I'd use red as a spot colour. I've painted a trial Orc Boy in this scheme and, while it looks good, I'm not that impressed.

So, simply put, I'd much appreciate it if you could point me in the direction of some Orc Colour Schemes (specifically clothing and armour, I have skin sorted), or perhaps upload some of your own. Inspire me, Dakka!

Thanks in advance

ork shemes? Sorry, I've only got 40k orks, but....How about this one:


blue works well with orks btw.... well, 40k orks....


how about rusty and battered?



or yellow as a spot color?

if all else fails, You can always paint them pink, cause that's almost red and daredunzgofasta
