Different people have different priorities. I keep going back and forth
on whether I'm going to do anything with my large collection of Orks.
I'm currently planning on keeping them, so that I won't have to regret
getting rid of them in the next flip-flop. :-) But if/when I paint
them, I'll be using lots of Orky colors. I don't know if I will paint
by clans, though. I'd have to paint more, rather than choose from a big
supply of generic boyz. The clans don't make that much difference to
me. This is along the lines of what I asked about painting
detachments. Fluff purists don't usually care for my approach--I don't
pay much attention to Eldar aspect colors, either, or Space Marine
fluff. Of course a lot of that fluff is in games I don't own. But it
just isn't important to me. I may also make my Orks brown.
But they're a way behind Eldar and Space Marines in the painting queue,
anyway. :-)
