Bad Moons Trukk, w/ red paint job...

[Guest Odazsus]

Hello, first time posting on this account although I had a previous account with 3-4 posts, so greetings everyone here. Anyway, to business:

 

I am starting my fourth army; I have gone with Bad Moon Orks and already am painting mobs of boyz and etc. that come in the Black Reach set. I bought a trukk along with a couple of other things to balance the ork force out a bit with the space marines that come in black reach, and I am at a bit of a creative block when it comes to how to paint the trukk. I wish the trukk to have a Red Paint Job upgrade as I feel it's pretty useful, but trying to actually paint a red paint job on a Bad Moon trukk creates a bit of a problem; you end up with a fairly red trukk with some yellow detailing; which are the colors of the evil sunz. I can't figure out a way to get a red paint job on the trukk, while still maintaining the normal Bad Moon yellow + black detailing to make sure my opponents know: 1) My trukk has the red paint job upgrade, and 2) it's colors show unity with the rest of my Bad Moon force.

 

I am turning to those with better artistic talents (I feel I'm a good painter from a technical standpoint, but my actual artistic talent and color sense is severely lacking) to suggest an idea on how to achieve what I'm aiming for, as I can't seem to think of a good way. Is it acceptable to just show a few streaks of red paint on the trukk to represent a red paint job, or does the trukk need to be painted mostly red? If I have to paint it mostly red, how would I go about keeping the trukk looking like a bad moon trukk instead of an evil sunz one? If it helps, my current boyz I am painting are significantly less yellow than most Bad Moons stuff I see pictures of online; I try to keep to mostly black with yellow dog teeth detailing on a couple of small places on the ork and at least one yellow dog teeth pattern warpaint somewhere on the ork's skin.

 

Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance

Let's start with the fact that Xenos are not allowed here. If you wish to talk Orks I suggest you take this to The Waaagh. They are like the B&C but Orks only. You can find them in the links area.
