Lighting the way...
I forgot to mention how great the other units look, too. You must've created hundreds of orks by now!

Another thought about the leader>hero>champion thing
Heroes (as the tech tree stands at the moment) arent available until midway through the third era, so that is a long time to have leaders hanging around with nothing to do. and champions arent available until the last era
i like the upgrading idea, but i think that one era is the max you could be expected to wait to upgrade them...

Furioso!
Especially so, since you can have only one leader at any given time. 
What if the heroes/champions could upgrade from era to era? You'd get the weakest hero in the first era, a bit stronger in the second, a weak champion (but stronger than the second-era hero) on the third and a super-champ in the fourth? The heroes (nob's in orks case) could use the one graphic, and the champions could use another graphic? Or have I lost it completely now?
One (pretty straightfoward) option would be to have the heroes/champions be available from specific buildings (a'la Drift's Master of Myrror - mod). Those buildings would become obsolete, when a new hero-tech (the WHAT?) is discovered. Or something like that

Congrats to Lizzy on 3000 post mark 
Here's a preview of what I thought for wildboyz. Pretty basic stuff. Should I add a hairknot to this one too?
Also, should the wildboys be a bit smaller than other orks, since they are a bit younger than the rest of them?

Haha, didnt even notice the 3000 posts
Tis basic, but wildboyz are pretty basic. if you make them smaller, better be just a tad, you dont want them to look like a grot
And i dont think there should be a knot, keep that as a madboyz special

No, I didn't mean to make them very small. Just a tiny-bit. Or maybe not at all - since they're not necessarily any "younger", just even more feral
I also thought about replacing that sword with an axe-type weapon.

You do what you want Which is more primitive? An axe or a sword?

I thought of adding an axe a bit similar to the one shown here:
That looks a bit primitive to me

Here's a new version of the wild boy. I just repositioned the swordblade, and now it looks a bit like a jagged big tooth attached to the wooden stick

And here is a EWIPP of Ork Trappa. There's not much civ colour in there, and I'm not sure if that looks ok to have so much camouflage-colour in the unit.

Both look great, especially the cloak! And there are appropriate amounts of civ colour and camouflage

All right then
The three first (hunta, madboy & wildboy) are already done. I'll post them in a pack when I get more units done. Atleast that trappa is going to be in the pack too.
Further thougts about all things orky:
- Skarboys. I have no idea what to do with them. The skars won't be that visible in civ-scale. Do they have any special weaponry or other wargear to make them out from the rest of the ork mob?
- Lootas. What if I make a loota with a shoulder-carried rocket launcher? Or a minigun (in wh40k I think they call it a vulcan gun)?
- Boar boyz. Should I make a new boarboy, with a handgun instead of a shield? Propably not. The shield is so small in the wh-boarboy, that it could almost pass as a shiny bitz
- Cyboar boyz. I try to make the boar mechanical, and replace the shield with a slugga - right?

Skarboyz: Make 'em larger than the rest of the boyz, but smaller than a nob. perhaps give them iron gobs and a 'uge choppa (big sword ) and slugga
Lootas: The new Lootas are armed like this (the ones at the bottom):
Boar Boyz: The current one should be alright as it is
Cyboar Boyz: Spot on

Does this look like a cyboar-boy? or should those boar legs & body be "rougher around the edges"?
