I'm reminded of that pic in the back of the Daemonhunter Dex, it actually has Possessed Orks...

There no Slaanesh or Tzeentch? I would've thought the God of change would be all for Weirdboy madness. And Slaaneshi stuff would be amusing, especially in those Bikers...

Suddenly, I'm imagining ork bikers in leathers, waving around whips and chains....and other....accouterments.

That sounds so much better, and maybe somw slight tweaks just to give them character.

Tweeks could include:
Speed freeks work well with slaanesh, as their sensations of speed are unsurpassed. They would need a "pinky ones go fasterest" paintjob with 1,5" extra move instead of 1." Sonik Weapons will be the only things making more noise than the roaring engines. This could be a one-and-only kustom job for slugga/shoota, with a variant for burnaz and one for rokkit launchas. Units/characters with an icon/mark of slaanez get +1 initiative (cumulative with Furious Charge)

Weirdboyz of Tseensz could have a Forzz weapon upgrade for characters. Spells could include dakkabolt (doombolt), Kurs of Kaos (gift of chaos), Wind of Deff (wind of chaos) and tha Tseensz kannon or zzap of Tseensz (bolt of Tzeentch). Units/characters with an icon/mark of Tseensz get 5+ inv save, or +1 inv save to a 4+ max.

For cost of icons/marks, the CSM codex can be used as guide, though effects should be compared to effectiveness of upgrades. Reference on profile upgrades might also be found in the tyranid codex, as +1I is a comon upgrade for several units. As third reference, the creature feature for pitfighting on the GW site can be used in comparison.

I gotta admit, I find the idea of chaos orks a bit redundant. They already have more randomness built into their codex than either Chaos army with their special charts and d6 rolls for either shots, strength, or AP.
Really, Khorne is the only one they'd be vulnerable to the pull of, as they aren't curious enough (Tzeench), already let loose all their inhibitions (Slaanesh) and just get tougher if they survive a near death experience (Nurgle). Heck, I'd even argue that Khorne has little to no pull over them, as it's not blood lust that drives them, but the fact that they don't fear death and fighting's a lot of fun!

yeah i can see that, but the under education of most orks could easily taken advantage of, a warboss might decide he wants to become a warlord for the power, and all of his boyz follow.
