Paul, who was in on the battle with Elias and me last Saturday, has his
own chapter, called the Aquamarines. :-)

No, I was thinking of a nice paisley of maroon and gray. Or maybe a
more realist camouflage pattern. I think Orks should be given a little
more respect, and shown to be the sophisticated, intelligent beings they
really are.
Just kidding! Anybody read the description of the D'Orques in Generic
Legions?

----------------
D'Orques: While appearing to be quite brutish and crude, D'Orques are
actually the most civilized and polite race
on the battlefield. They are quite courteous and well educated,
frequently apologizing over the radio for all the
destruction they're causing. Despite their cultured and
intellectual demeanor, D'Orques are very near-sighted and
have terrible taste in clothing and design. If you happen to see an
army of large creatures with green or brown
leathery skin, pointy ears, big teeth, dressed in brightly clashing
colors, you'll know you're looking at a bunch of
D'Orques.

I'd probably use yellow and black a lot, and something red on pretty
much every vehicle.

Only paying attention to aspect colors occasionally. Using my own color
for marines, without going through the work of designing a chapter. I
actually have some (not so great) camouflage on a couple of Space Marine
vehicles, but that's because they were available for IG in 2nd edition.
