r/Orks Update / Announcement New Rule: AI generated content is not allowed

1.4k Upvotes

First, WAAAGH! Now that formalities are out of the way, it's not often that new rules are added as that means more work on my end enforcing them. For the good of the community, going forward AI generated content is no longer allowed in r/Orks. The community has overwhelmingly made it known that AI "slop" is not content this community is interested in and does not spark engagement or interaction. In short, AI content = No thanks.

The rule reads as follows:

AI generated content is low-effort and not considered as an original work. Posts evaluated by the mod team and determined to be AI will be removed without warning.

If you see this content in r/Orks please report it. This is the best way to get our attention so we can handle it accordingly. This is not retroactive, don't stress if you have posted AI content in the past. If you disagree with this new rule, that's unfortunate. Anyway, please keep AI content off r/Orks and I thank you all for making this the best community about plastic space fungus toys on this platform.

Discussion Weekend Waaagh Planning - August 28, 2026

4 Upvotes

Hey r/Orks, let's talk about some of the Orky things you have going on this weekend. Stuff that will make your fellow green-skins either jealous to be you or thankful they are not you.

Examples of what we're talking about:

  • List building?
  • Leading your Waaagh to victory at your local friendly game store?
  • Working on your grey pile of shame painting backlog?
  • Building a new kit?
  • Teaching a new player the ropes?
  • Brushing up on tabletop skills?

Who knows, maybe your post will inspire (or shame) some other git to get moving on their project. So, what's good this weekend?

Painting Is it cheating to use marker pen for checker pattern?

Thumbnail

679 Upvotes

Painting my killa kans and for the checker pattern I decided to use a fine tip permanent marker fine liner. It went 10x better than my previous attempts with a paint brush...

What's the verdict?

I pencil in the rough pattern and then just fine line it...

Working through my Armageddon box. I've historically stuck to Space Marines and Astra Militarum, but these guys are soooo much fun to paint.

This is the first model I went all out on. I followed @thepaintingcoach YouTube video on how to paint it and learned TONS of new techniques. I’m loving contrast paints, but sometimes I want more “STUFF” to add like highlights or color differences and this showed me some stuff. The blue highlight on the armer is heavy for sure, but after some convening with others I decided to not try and fix it and leave it. Now I just need to make a custom base as the one they provide is boring.

Alroight boyz! Level with me because maybe I just don't understand. A lot of people are saying Flash Gitz with their cutta profile will make for good anti-tank but I don't understand how. The AP and damage is... ok I suppose (rolled damage is never reliable), but at one shot, hitting on 4's, hazardous, AND mostly wounding tanks on 5+ still (As most are T10+), I'm not sure why I just wouldn't use a busta rokkit instead. What am I legitimately missing?

Discussion Ork Anti Tank?

46 Upvotes

Hey lads, my friend is obsessed with armor and tanks and only plays guard and space marines so he can bring dreadnoughts and tanks. My army is very limited at the moment (I'm very new to warhammer) and I have very little anti-tank capabilities aside from 3 deffkopptas and a battlewagon, but their hit rate is terrible. Does anyone have any recommendations for what I should pick up to counter Tanks and other armored vehicles?

Hi, here's my first Orc for a fellow player's army who simply has too many miniatures lying around to paint them all. I've never painted Orcs before, but damn, they really know how to have fun! He's not quite finished yet and still needs washes, etc., but I hope you enjoy him anyway. Feel free to give me feedback, positive or negative, whatever you notice. :)

He’s finally ready (need to add a few things to the base) for the table this weekend with the drop of the new codex, however, my friend who’s new to the hobby wants to fight my custodes this time so my big yellow Ghaz will have to wait a week more!!

Lemme see your different colour big boyz!

"Do you like hurting other people?"

...is not something that the so called Deff Skwad ever asked themselves. Hard-as-nails Nobz with as much weapons than they own teef, they work as the personal assassination squad / wrecking ball for powerful Waaagh Bosses, up to and including (if one is inclined to believe their bragging) the Beast of Armageddon himself.

The roster of the Skwad includes:

* Jacked (a.k.a. The Sergeant)

* Da Swonn (a.k.a. The Blademaster)

* Da Otha Swonn (a.k.a. The Gunner) (both Swan 1 and Swan 2 think they have gotten the better number over the other one - 1 comes first, but 2 is bigger)

* Beard (a.k.a. The Marksman)

* Da Porcine a.k.a. "da Beakie Butcha" (a.k.a. The Demolisher)

* Da Zee-Brah (a.k.a. The Headtaker)

* Da Rowdent (a.k.a. The Disruptor)

* Da Tigurrh (a.k.a. The Aegis)

* Da Urzine a.k.a "da Grah-Wiz" (a.k.a. The Bombard a.k.a. The Horde-Slayer a.k.a. The Breacher)

I've wanted to do a Hotline Miami-themed Kill Team for ages, and it was a lot of fun adapting the rules of the Death Watch operatives over to suitably orky counterparts (and yes, I added layers of cork so they actually measure up to Primaris height).

Hope you enjoy them!

Painting Yellow on Pink - Painting yellow feels like cheating now

I must admit I actually don’t dislike the pink now that I see this.

Recipe: grim rust, drybrushed with heavy metal and then stippled on AK Dead Red (the pink) followed with mix of dead red with light flesh. Then Imperial fist contrast yellow


r/orks 3h ago

Still working on these Orks. Here's this evenings offering. Still about an hour to go (I think) to get him touched up and finished. I don't know how some of you fine people can manage to paint an army. This squad of 10 Boyz is taking forever.
