For some Orkspiration I would recommend looking at some of the artwork from the Rogue Trader books (Waargh Da Orks and the like).
The colour schemes in those books are much more colourful than the recent Ork stuff which is perfect for Freebootas.

There is also a great picture of a Ork Freeboota Nob in the 3rd Edition codex if you fancy something a little less gaudy.

Otherwise I recommend having a look through any old White Dwarfs you have as Orks often pop up in the Eavy metal showcase. Looking
at the Ork models from computer games like Dawn of War II and Warhammer: Mark of Chaos should help out too.

Classic Jolly Ork Freebooterz. That leader is orginal Kaptin Badrukk, if I remember right. He, like Ghaz, where generated orginally by members of studio using Rogue Trader rules.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/716041/9170238.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/716041/9170238.page GMT Re:Ork Freebooters Color Scheme http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/716041/9178173.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/716041/9178173.page GMT Re:Ork Freebooters Color Scheme
My best advice is to focus your efforts on the trousers; I'm doing all of mine with pinstriped white and blue. It gives the army a unifying element so you can mess around with every other Ork scheme on their armour and clothing to make personalised units.

If you're doing pinstripes, get some precision masking tape (2mm in diameter) to help make the job a lot easier.

A WIP of mine so you get the idea:

Spoiler:




If you want gold to be present, I'd recommend doing gold teeth - it can be quite difficult to matt down gold on flat surfaces like armour plates, and teeth are really simple to do and add to the flashy style of Freebooterz. If you are fixed on doing gold though, try multiple layers of Reikland Fleshade over Retributor Armour, with an Ironbreaker highlight to finish.

Hope this gave you some ideas

Definitely a pirate hat! if you're not into sculpting, Kromlech makes some really cool piratey heads, as well, for orks.

Love the gold tooth idea that's perfect you should definitely use that lol

Also, for not quite as bright gold, I prefer to use Vallejo Old Gold. Use a sienna wash on it to give it a deeper tone as well.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/716041/9179581.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/716041/9179581.page GMT
