I have been looking some picture that has loads of old school ork banners like this: http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110727053314/warhammer40k/images/d/d0/Badrukk.jpg

Also I want to make 'ard boyz with few riot shields (not the entire unit). I thought it would be cool if each shield had a letter which together would spell out out a word but I can't think anything interesting.

ty in advance.

For your shield idea, I suggest you take a look at the Ork Codex, page 30, and use proper Orky letters...looks better than using English IMO (if you don't mind people who want to read it having to look it up ).

Shields?

Use this:



Trukk's armor plating that nobody ever uses. Slice it in half, each trukk gives you 4 awesome orky shields. My friends call this the Door Nob and i field him for the laughs of that name even though i never buy the armor for him.

Door Nob wins a challenge. Did he slam your fingers in the frame?

Doors from the BW kit work well too.

My Ard boys are sporting doors, engine grilles, signs, bits of random bike plating, kan and dredd spare parts...

Shields and heavy shoulder pads are easy conversions.

The easiest and funniest thing I can think of is to make it spell out WAAAGH! with the number of As in the word dependent on the number of Orks in the unit facing forward.

I can just imagine a lot of orks standing around ghazkhull as he is in a challenge and act as cheerleaders by writing S M A S H H I M G H A Z ! on their shields. There would always be one ork who gets a letter mixed up...

The point of the shields is to have people able to read the word(s). I haz to spell me wordz fer dem oomies ' cause dem oomies are too stoopid to read.

I had similiar idea but not about this project. I wanted to have proppa orky tape measure. Instead of inches (numbers) you have the tapemeasure spell waaaa...aaagh.

I mainly don't the entire unit to have shields because I can easily convert the unit from ard boyz to normal shoota/slugga by replacing shield boyz.
