| I have decided to do a few different armies over the last few months, and at the moment I am about to start a 40K Ork army. I have just built my first Warbuggy conversion, but I have no idea what color scheme to use.
I have pics posted of the vehicular menace, on my website. The link is....

Ideas for colors or comments, critisisms welcome.
Those of you who play 40K will recognise what I have done to this poor buggy (and the other vehicle that went into the design)
Thanks

| I would paint the landspeeder the colors of a marine chapter, then mess it all up like it had crashed and had a mek boy crawl all over it. Put like a big X through the imperial eagle on the front and replace it with an orc clan symbol next to it or close to it.
As its an Ork vehicle Obviously build from salvaged imperial tech, I would also take an exacto knife and chip some of the cleaner lines out of the vehicle and maybe take a big chunk of one of those fin's from the top. Just to Orkify it up a bit...is orkify even a word?
Overall I like it, I havn't seen a land speeder with wheels before.

Great ideas for making it more Orc-ish. I'd also tack on some choice slogans in a spray-paint/graffiti style. Make it nice and trashed-looking (it's not like Orcs take care of their things). | |

| | I cant wait to see what it looks like in color. It looks pretty neat anyways, but with color I'm sure it'll really stand out. | |

I like this idea. I would add a botched red paint job on their part because as any ork knows, "Red makes it go fasta!". Orks are a great army to go crazy with conversions. | |
