Modelers! I've got a bit of a dilemma for you - I really wanna run an all-Savages Orc force for Age of Sigmar, and I'd like to have some heavy armor just to round things out. However, I'm a terrible modeler, and I can't think of a good way to model savage-appropriate heavy armor. Has anyone ever tried this? Or have any ideas for me?

One idea would be to go tattoo mad on the paint job for the ones you want to be black Orcs, as it would be more aesthetically in keeping and look awesome all at the same time.

Maybe try making them very simple tribal armour out of bones and sticks just layed in paralleled to cover the chest and/or patches on legs and arms, simple strap running up each side to hold it on then just add war paint!

Tryied to find example but wasnt sure how to articulate it to google:
