Ork Reference

In order to get an idea of the Ork half of my race cross over I needed to research and gather reference material of existing Ork models and artwork. Here is a selection of what I gathered.

 

 This is the official Ork Codex from Games Workshop, it details all the Ork units and background information, along with everything needed to build and play an Ork army within the game.

The following is a selection of Ork Units, all imagery can be found on the Games Workshop Website, found here!

This is only a very small selection of the units within the Ork armies. It helps to illustrate the variety of sizes, colours and abilities involved. For example some Ork characters are very small, other units are much larger, some units can fly whereas others are very slow moving etc. The design of Ork units can also vary widely as they designed to be scavengers meaning their units can have multiple styles and parts incorporated into them.

Despite their scavenging tendencies Orks still have a very distinct overall style which is noticeable and  uniformed throughout their entire army. In order to incorporate the Ork style into my new models I need to nail down what 'Ork' fundamentally is, so when people see my models they immediately understand that they are based on Orks.
