I'll let you know but I was not real happy with how my max sized ork
clan worked last game. Yeah I won and no it didn't get trashed but
keeping it all together really sucked. Major problem to move around. I
will be doing my snakebites an other way next game.

I liked my med sized KoS however. To bad I painted as Bad Moons, not
Evil Suns. I am doing a Evil Sun KoS for play test.

And a Blood ax sneeky git mob...
