While collecting vast amounts of Greenskins I've also painted some. Those range from oldhammer to completely new, but I guess most stuff does at least somehow fit the bill for Middlehammer.
Those are "Da Red Robberz". It doesn't work as well in English, but hey. I had a large corpus of fluff written about them in German but since no one would be able to read it and I'm to busy to translate it right now here's the short version:
Sylvanian peasants believe red is an unlucky color and they justify this by the amount of nobility vanishing wearing a lot of red. Most of the superstitious folk believe this is because of vampires and red being the color of blood, but this is simply untrue. In the northwest of Sylvania there lies a Great Forest enclosed by a forking river and the nearby swampland that the Red Robberz call their home. Those Greenskins are a conglomeration of the swamp dwelling Boglars of the marshes, the spider riding Goblins from the Great forest and the Orcs and Goblins that roam the surrounding hill land. Those tribes believe in the color red as a token of strength and believe that red clothes give them the favor of the gods. Thus puny humans shouldn't be allowed to wear it and get stripped of it wherever the opportunity arises - tainting some of the clothes even more red in the process.
Pictures to follow, I have to get the hang of this new forum first

I really like the way you've done the reds on the Pirate Goblins' coats! Where are the core troops?
