for Fluff purposes start off with you "Big 3-4" these are your main Hero's (or Villains in the case of Orks

) these would be in your clan:

-Your Warboss

-Your Mekboy

-Your Weirdboy?

think on what there personality's would be like (aside from the usual "Stomp everything flat" that all do) what sets your main guys from the rest? is it that your Warboss has unnatural Strength for a Warboss or he is a very Old Warboss and knows his enemy's well (as well as his nemesis of any particular army), could your Mek have production who is making something more effective than a Mega dredd? maybe a Dredd on Tracks? or maybe a massive oversized Tractor beam that shoots at small planets and moons and smacks them into other Planets and moons? Could your Weirdboy have some special psychic contact with the warp that makes him summon daemon's from the warp to his Cause (But he thinks it is a gift from Gork and Mork).

The next step is to Decide Who is your "Warlord" who is the one who oversees everything and make sure everyone is in line with the rest to make the plan go accordingly? Is it your Warboss perhaps? Or your Mek, etc. The best way to decide is who would you be on the Tabletop? After all Your warlord is meant to represent you on the Tabletop...

After this Your next step is to think what sets your Clan from the rest/others? Could it be that they have a large amount of Squigoths at their disposal? Or could they have 3 Gargants? or could it be that your boys never run away from a fight? the choices are endless.

After that this bit is optional but its still a bit of fun to think of it, but which army would your Orks "Preferred Enemy" and I mean such as, is there an Army you despise or dislike? An enemy that your Orks just love to pound into the Ground? and Is your Overlord's Nemesis in this Army. Your Army's Nemesis is your Warlords Special Enemy that they have fought many a time but always He/She/It managed to escape to fight for another day? and Your Warlord is always on the watch for Him/Her/It?. These Preferred Enemy's and Nemesis's could be what your Friends Army's and HQ's as well, that's always a good start...

This is just my two cents on making Fluff for you clan but I have barely touched the surface on Making Fluff for your Army...

Hope this helps

The rustier, clankier, pockmarked the better... except for the engine. They clean and polish their motors and engines to a high shine. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/512958/5371769.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/512958/5371769.page GMT Help making an ork clan/tribe
First off, think up a terrain type/a planet type for your tribe. Tell yourself that you'll model the terrain on the bases of your boys, that it'll change the color of dust you put on your vehicles... And if it's a sunny planet you can use the excuse to greenstuff hats on some boys, hah!

Then, think up of a 'gimmick' to differentiate the paint job of your deffskulls compared to others. For instance my blood axes use a tan and brown camo scheme and sandy bases (they hail from a desert planet) but I have a gimmick: Purple flames or purple triangles as detailing here on there, sometimes even part of the camo. That's my tribe's gimmick.

You could decide your special gimmick is green triangles here and there (The fungus teef clan!) Or black skulls on vehicles (Blackskull riders!) possibilities are endless...

Another thing you could customize is 'what you loot'. For instance maybe your boys loot a lot of Tau stuff instead of imperial, that gives you modelling opportunities to make lootas with tau gear, trukks with burst kannons, buggies made from piranha hulls (wait, we all do that hah!)

Anyway, those are my starter tips: get your bases right, pick a gimmick, have fun with tribe names and warboss names.

If you like Deffskulls, but do not like blue, you probably like the thieving-git fluff. You could end up painting them all in black and white stripes with bags over their shoulders

.

Something like deffskulls is like a post I did a while back about a potential tribe called "Rust Bukkitz"
Rust Bukkitz colour scheme is standard colours with heavy amounts of dust, rust, and other grimes. Vehicles need to look like they have been cobbled together from scrap or look like antiques (Compliments the WWII stuff nicely).

The fluff is:
These orkz are the gut-pickers of the gut-pickers, they take everything. Where the deffskull clanboys may take everything down to the shoelace, the Rust-Bukkitz take the whole boot, and the foot inside as an extra score.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/512958/5372749.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/512958/5372749.page GMT Re:Help making an ork clan/tribe Lol that's a lot of bests

Do you want ideas for your fluff or do you want people to post their own?

I'm totally up for posting some fluff.

You're going to be covered in fluff!

Don't take that the wrong way!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/512958/5375275.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/512958/5375275.page GMT Re:Help making an ork clan/tribe Lol I was thinking I shot you ideas we compremize and make this awesome fluff

And I need to start on the fluff today cuz I want to start painting today but need fluff so I can figure out a paint scheme]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/512958/5376879.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/512958/5376879.page GMT Help making an ork clan/tribe
The looters, flash gitz, kommandos etc all have a scheme which you could choose to refect on your minis.. Equally you may not, and choose for them all not to be that big on clan membership.

Personnally I'm going to opt for a rough and ready warband, with a mix of units. But independent of the clans, I suppose a basic colour scheme of natural colours, and blacks, I guess similar to snake bites but not limited to squigs and has access to the better technology.
So basicly I can have everything with a no nonsese colour scheme. A traditional ork mob.
Quick to paint and no gimmicks. My background will centre around how the warboss rose to the top of the warband and of the characters he associates with. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/512958/5376987.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/512958/5376987.page GMT Re:Help making an ork clan/tribe ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/512958/5377450.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/512958/5377450.page GMT Help making an ork clan/tribe
What are your favorite units in the dex.

Start there and expand the warband around your intended core of the army.

No point us suggesting evil sunz if you don't like bikers for example. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/512958/5377626.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/512958/5377626.page GMT Re:Help making an ork clan/tribe http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/512958/5377684.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/512958/5377684.page GMT Help making an ork clan/tribe I'd do either a generic warband, not clan affiliated, or if you are set on a warband, have you considered Goffs.

Digression from thread topic, but this is something I'm intending to do. Grotz with pulse rifles and scraps of Tau armor as Fire Warriors, Nobz wearing mostly gutted Krisis Sootz with some Stormboy bitz for the jet pack, and any drones being carried aloft by grotz. Now if only I didn't have 3 other ork conversion projects ahead of it in line....
