I'm just curious: what, if someone will paint orks with human skin? How they will look like? As ugly humans?

Probably ugly.... but if I get a chance I think I shall paint one up just to see.. Make him a blood axe!! yup cuz dems iz sneekee oomie luvin gitz

Thought thats what catachans were?

Bit of google-fu and... BAM!

On the first page of images...



Lots of people paint Ork stuff slightly or extravagantly converted as Mutants for Necromunda! (with human coloured skin)

You may want to look into that.

But just Orks with human coloured skin. I found you that.

My opinion, it looks alright. But blue Orks look the best to me... apart from Green.


Red orks have also been done...


And I am sure many other coloures have been tried...

And no Google Chrome spelling corrector, I refuse to spell coloured and coloures the American way...

Hey look, I found an image of purple orks!

here it is:

I've seen them done yellow and they look awesome. I think as long as the paint jobs good then its just down to personal preference. Try it and see whats the worst that can happen

I'm doing my DZ marauders with red skin. Those red Ork's up there look BRUTAL.

I think I've seen orange Chaos-Orks in some White Dwarf of very old age... Though, in fluff there's both orks that are affected by chaos and explicit statements that orks are immune to the powers of the warp so go figure...

I saw somewhere somebody did a blue-grey ork, kind of looked frosted. It may have been on a display somewhere or in a white dwarf, but it had that same metal mask on as the red guy on the far left. I always thought it looked pretty awesome. I will have to see if I can find the picture.

Isn't that just Ogryns?.

nice, got some fresh inspiration for a boss model!
