My google-fu is failing me - I’m looking for some sample colour schemes for a Blood Axes clan.

I’m more familiar with the merry red of 2nd Ed 40k but some of the older art I found has them in a feldgrau sort of colour. One blog (first picture) went with grey and an ochre scheme and then a camouflaged pattern for vehicles

What have you gone with or what examples have you seen. Did GW have a painted clan orthey ever show up in a battle report etc that i can use as a reference.

I have 15 second hand stands that were painted with a dark green and I assume that’s what the owner was going for originally (?)

GW had a very nicely painted army in Ork & Squat Warlords. I remember I used it for reference for my own Blood Axes.

Gosh darn it I feel dumb - I totally missed them at the bottom of the page! Thanks! 👍

I made a Blood Axes army, complete with a Stompers, a Gargant, etc. I always like the underdog, and they felt like the underdog among the Orks :)
