After seeing the excellent work by KroozA on his gargant chart, and Oddballz et al on the Battlewagon FAQ, I thought I'd contribute a little something too.
Here's my attempt at getting all the ork glyphs in one place (updated 22nd November):  IPB Image" /> IPB Image" /> IPB Image" /> IPB Image" /> IPB Image" />I've used the glyphs from "Waaargh the Orks", "Freebooterz", 1994's "Codex Orks" and the current Codex. Where different books have given different translations I've included them all. If anyone knows of any other glyphs then please let me know and I'll add them. Hope you all find this helpful when decking-out your vehicles with glyphs to insult your skumgrods.  All C&C appreciated.

QUOTE(Gaf-Naz @ Nov 19 2006, 10:07 AM) [snapback]315847[/snapback] I don't have any of the GorkaMorka books, so would appreciate it if someone who does could check them for me and let me know if there's any glyphs in them that I've missed. I'm looking into it  You're missing Digga and Skrap Digga (looks just like the oomie glyph only colors reversed) Weedy, Underground, Weak, False Skrap (looks like the glyph for ulk only facing the other direction, the nose is pointed down at about 45* with the bottom half of the Ulk missing as if buried) Fortune,Payment, Tithe, Offering Lemme know if you need me to do an illustration of either one -------------------- CODE Originally Posted by Uthan the Perverse in 'Culture vs. Kultur: Thoughts on Orkish Society' The Orks are the pinnacle of creation. For them, the great struggle is won. They have evolved a society which knows no stress or angst. Who are we to judge them? We panzee who have failed, or the Humans, on the road to ruin in their turn. And why? Because we sought answers to questions that an Ork wouldn't even bother to ask. We see a culture that is strong and despise it as crude. Eva wanted ta know how to do sumfink?

Aww I dunno, maybe there's something missing,
say a red star or something...  I like, very kool Naz - it's kinda annoying because there's glyphs there that are so cool I want to start certain ork armies ta use em... Good work, nicely presented. -------------------- A number of Rebel Players have been enquiring about the Rebel Grot Codex I'm doing for Blakkreaper's Clanz Projekt - and I have the following statement:
I'm not 100% happy with all the rules I've done yet, but as a note to all the Rebel Players out there needing rules for their Rebel Units I invite you to get in touch with me either by PM/Email/MSN and I'll try to help you out where I can and arrange it so you can get a few previews of what I've written so far.

Good call on the red star Dim. I'll add it under Klan Glyphs as "Grot Rebels".
Keep the suggestions coming.

I'd forgotten about Grot Rebels - they must have appeared when I was out of 40K for a few years. And the red star seems to be their official symbol, so in it goes. I remember the day when any grot with visions of rebellion got 'volunteered' for Shokk Attak Gun testing.

My hat's off to you! It looks like I've been outdone.
Maybe we can get these put on the main website gallery, as a resource to all orks. -------------------- Sneeky invisork: 4 2 3 4 1 2 2 7 5+

True, although it seems a little backwards to me that GW would hoard IP rights over a book that it doesn't even publish anymore. Still, maybe some credits to GW are necessary.

I love it how the sign for "bioniks" ("Stud") is an Orky version of the Adeptus Mechinicus symbol.

I've updated the charts - see the first post.
I've studied GW's IP policy, and spoken to a couple of legal people I know, and added a disclaimer which I feel addresses the IP rights issue. However, I've also emailed GW's legal department and asked for their opinion/suggestions and will bide by their decision - though I withold the right to appeal! Again, if any of the Nobs ask me to remove the charts, I will do. I've also added the glyphs for Digga and Skrap - thanks 4ton. And the Rebel Grot star - thanks Dim. Does Skrap look OK? Wasn't sure if there was a line under the crashed hulk or not.  All C&C and glyphs I've missed welcome.
