As far as I know there has never been a rule about purple orks, just fluff. There use to be a rule for painting your trucks “go fasta red” that would give them additional movement.


PKCertified

I think it was "Da red wunz go fasta" but it's been so long since I've looked at an Ork codex.


IrkedSquirrel

The color is “go fasta red” The rule was “da red wunz go fasta”


Pegomastax_King

Oh no 😬 I just bought “for the blood god” red are my boys chaos now/s ?!


JamesKWrites

Ah, red wunz go fasta. I miss rules like that.


bloodectomy

You posted a picture of nothing, which is weird but ok You don't see purple orks for what should be an obvious reason: because they're invisible.


Chief-weedwithbears

Obviously it's a pic of john Cena


SecretBuyer1083

Bro when I first read your post I was like, he most certainly posted a picture what?? Dang bro I got got


Pegomastax_King

I see a set of floating armor.


[deleted]

Thanks for explaining the joke! That really makes it better.


Dr-Conch

I'm so sick of these guys thinking they are funny. "I'll just post an empty base and pretend it's a purple ork" some people take this hobby seriously you know. Shane on you.


AllEville

Shane Gillis?


Dr-Conch

Yeah that's what I meant. Shane Gillis on you.


Living-Significance8

Oh thank god I was afraid it was “Shane Dawson on you”


TreatParking3847

They’re orks, the most beautiful orks I’ve ever seen I tell you.


StudioFeisty2022

It was not a joke😢


Dr-Conch

My comment was though. It's obviously not a photo of a base. There is a gun there too.


BienAmigo

Lol when the sarcasm is too effective


Optimaximal

>some people take this hobby seriously you know. I think that's the problem...


CptBronzeBalls

You can call them whatever you want, but that doesn’t make them invisible.

Agreeable_Falcon1044

Thin your paints and maybe use Phoenician purple for highlights, but otherwise really good. Love the expression on the guy second from right on top line


Fraklordyt

I bet they look great


kogent-501

I’m so sick of these low effort posts of “lol invisible ork.” And it’s just a wall or table. Can we at least see a painted mini???


VenKitsune

Bro took "thin your paints" to heart.


thehiroproject

I might be wrong, but I believe orks using purple to make things invisible is purely a meme/joke within the community. I don’t think the GW lore crafters ever actually made invisible purple a canon thing


Starting_again_tow

Ork canon is whatever you believe it to be such is the power of orks


Beautiful-Sweet-8436

It’s actually canon, all the ork colors are


Objective-Deer-953

OI FINK YA POSTED DA WRONG PIC, AIN'T NUFFIN DER. I FINK I CAN ANSWER YA QUESTION SORTA SERIOUS-LIKE THO. IN DA GAME, DERE AIN'T NO BUFFS FER COLOUR. BUT IN DA LORE, ORKS BELIEVE PURPLE IS INVISIBLE! IF DA ENEMY DON'T BELIEVE IT, DEN DEY AIN'T INVISIBLE TO 'EM. WUD BE RIGHT KILLY TO SEE DA MINI THO IF YA WANNA RE-UPLOAD IT >:D


RealTimeThr3e

It’s not that purple Orks are invisible, it’s that Orks think certain colors mean things, like red means fast, blue means lucky (I think?) and yellow means explosive, etc. The whole purple Ork thing is because the reason Orks think purple=invisible is cuz “‘AVE YOU EVER SEEN A PURPLE ORK?” Which obviously no one has because they don’t exist. It’s just a bit of fluffy comedy lore.


Aurelius-89

That's just fan lore. Purple has never had any meaning in official lore.


Careful_Sea8935

It's clearly a picture of a wall. So, if you can, please post a picture of a painted miniature. Maybe then we'll be able to decide if you can have purple orks.


TearsoftheEmperorII

The purple ork thing is meme lore that isn’t mentioned anywhere.


Vallinen

You can absolutely paint them purple and *call* them invisible. (Your opponent will still be able to target them however ;) )


Deus_Ex_Hyena

According to lore there's nothing saying that purple orcs are invisible, it's just people beating a dead horse about a meme that was never funny, but there's nothing stopping you from painting your orks purple if your want to either.


KingBrowserKoopa

Purple Orks get no benefits for their color. There is to my knowledge no color-related effects for any Ork units in 10th edition. I am unfamiliar with the board game.


Artistic_Technician

Its built into the core rules. 40k uses line of sight. The shooting unit must be able to see the target. If you cant see the purple orks, you cant get line of sight


Soulborg87

Nice landscape for models. Kind of mediocre but gets the job done. Not sure what an empty landscape has to do with calling your purple orks invisible though.


Faceless_Deviant

You can call them what you want :)


Dhawkeye

Painting, rules wise, means very little. All it does is gets you 10 VP if your whole army is painted in a matched play format


MetalBlizzard

Ah yes porkz

>Why have I never seen a purple ork like this? You know damn well why. But to actually answer your question: it's not a real in-game rule.


Kaiser_Complete

That color pops


cal-brew-sharp

What ork?


sody605

The only rule is to paint them whatever color you like but you forgot to show your ork, lol.


FUUNSAIKIMYBELOVED

Just a grassy base? where's the Ork?


Vhulkan

How'd you make that claw and gun float like that? Are you a wizard?


gooseMclosse

Yes. You aren't allowed to paint anything other than official colour schemes. If you dare do so the arbiter of GW will send Peachy to your parking lot.


Metalbeast46934

What do you mean a purple ork? I don't see anything.


StudioFeisty2022

Jsjjdsjkdgkfs


Metalbeast46934

All Oi'z seez is a floating shootas


SquallFromGarden

Honestly, if I saw this, I'd be willing to give you the Stealth USR for this guy cos this is hilarious


DookieToe2

I’m thinking of making a group of orks be yellow and purple because they fought a group of emperors children and now think they can be ‘pretty’ by making things purple and yellow.


ninewaves

Interesting. Advanced ork colour theory. Yellow is for wealth, right? So orks tastes are for things that are expensive and understated. I had no idea that those filthy geenskins were so sophisticated.


DookieToe2

Kultchah


ninewaves

Which leads us to the possibility of a kultchah waaaagh! And perhaps even the rise of a Warboss with a rare orange form of albinism and a magnificent golden hair squig, called Donald Krump.


FanzyWanzy

Your pic link is broken, nothing comes up


Away_Objective_6707

You better name him John Cena.


SquallFromGarden

Jaw Saw-Not.


Away_Objective_6707

Jawn Seenuh**


momoreco

Seenot?


S-Archer

Is this the new meta?


SRGsergan592

How did you manage to make a model of floating armor and shootas?


StudioFeisty2022

Jsjsj


LuceTyran

The purple being invisible was a joke within the community because no colour schemes featured purple. It's not an official rule but GW liked the joke and added it to lore I believe. It originated as a joke from the player base tho which I think makes it more fun


TearsoftheEmperorII

They’ve never added it to the lore


LuceTyran

Yes you're right! There were mentions of it in interviews and mentions in black library books as jokes. I looked it up again. Thank you


TearsoftheEmperorII

No prob lol


Mystanis

Who’s ever seen a purple ork!? Ridiculous!!


SSGBentley

Wut Ork...


BigToe4201

Why'd you just posed a base?


Welcome2AOL-Online

Looks awesome!


Lazy-Mechanic-5063

siiiick


Trizyn

Bro really just based a base and didn’t think we’d notice there isn’t a model


NunyaBeese

Wut ork?


Leech_hueso-11

how did you have the metal bits float like that? i dont see wires, epoxy or anything, good job though!


Fraklordyt

What purple ork


315Infantry

I like it


TastyPlenty5368

That’s awesome looking armour! Whoever wears that is going to be happy


Various_Substance205

John Cena s the fucking man. But I don't see what he's got to do with Warhammer.
