Default Orky theme?

Hi my fellow pimps and pimpettes...

I have something for you to choose for me. Im reworking my warband into A KoS army, now that i finnaly bothered to buy some brake fluid to take away all that paint I added when i was 10.

Anyways, i need a theme for them. And thats where you come in. It isn't meant to be either serious or comical.

WW1 germans: with the pointy hats, and the clothing painted in the buey-grey colours of the germans. May be a tad bland though

Pirates: orky pirates!! what can be cooler? It may be have been done to death? any one know?

Rastafarians: just something that popped into my head.

Football hooligans: it just seems to fir orks completely. Only real problem is that Bradford City aren't precisely doing well at the moment. We were in the premiership, and now we are in division 2... just so you know.

Old skool heavy metal: black leather, denim jackets. Spikey stuff. Plus it gives me an excuse to give my warboss an iron maiden shirt. How cool can that be?

Red coats: Basically steering away from the KoS and the classic way in which orks are played. Simply stand back and shot with 100+ gunz.

Indians: Not reverting to the Feral ork list, just because i don't like it... BUT givig my orks those funny feather hats... (or maybe not, it would look silly) Maybe leave this and do a kroot red-indian theme? hmmmm....

An ork version of the Mechine cult: haven't got a clue what to call it but combining the yellow moon clan (???) with the KoS list would be quite fun... just think of the look of an armoured ork!!! Muhahaha!


One thought i want to know though: I don't think it is but is it possible to combine the Cult lsits with the KoS list? i have a feeling not, becasue it is already a cult, but what do the rules say?

C+C?

Rastafarians was an idea I came up with too

It's either that or Have a warband follow a warboss that models himself like the FONZ!!!

EH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How about something silly like NASCAR? Paint sponsors and stuff on the vehicles, drivers, boyz, whatever.

I don't like that idea. I just don't like that "sport". Just a bunch of blokes going around in circles by the look of it.

How about rugby/football? Oo oo I know! No I don’t… but football would be perfect; it’s a physical sport, their shoulders are broad…

That would be absolutely hilarious! I would love to see a Kult of Speed army painted up in Nascar colors - each Trukk, Buggy or Trak painted in the style of one of the Nascar teams. Maybe go overboard representing the sponsors - not just stickers but actual products and such. Think Pepsi bottles, boxes of Tide, a Trukk dragging some Dupont carpet behind it... Just imagine what the Orky version of the Home Depot car would look like! A bright orange Trukk with tools, lumber, etc strewn all about.

Ok - I'd better stop now or I might blow my life savings making this happen...

Okay? so cut it out.

wha-? American football? Nope don't see that happening. Rugby maybe - i have a feeling that orks may cheat though. Although i could then use them as blood bowl guys!!!
