So I'm just looking for a simple Half-Orc build.
Something that follows along the lines of a savage, brought up by a tribe. He lacks intelligence, makes up for it in being just one tough "mother". I'm not looking for a power-build or anything, but am completely open to all and any suggestions. Whether it be a direction that's not often taken with Half-Orcs, weapons, unique/fun little features.

Re: Half-Orc build
Pure tribal path barbarian with epic damage reduction, and elemental resistances. He might not be able to throw an accurate punch as some of those weapon masters out there, but by golly can he take a beating and still stand. Not to mention he has a couple of tribal mates to back him up.
Can rack up to 21/- physical damage reduction at level 30. Stick a heap of damage immunity items on the character and he could be nearly impervious to specific damage types.

Re: Half-Orc build
Thanks for the suggestion, I must say I rarely hear anything good about the Barbarian class, so it's good to hear they have some positives..
Tribal warriors doesn't interest me too much, however.

Re: Half-Orc build
Like he mentioned, Barbarians makes great DR tankers. Just remember to bump Will Saves with feats. If you want a tank you can surely go with it! If you are goign the full dumb route, you can even be a kensai, as you may be too dumb to to choose potions to drink anyway. 
If you want damage: what about pure Ranger (lone wolf in wild areas, learned to survive) or 26Ranger/4Fighter? Max STR for the fun (but will be squish). This is the one of the combinations with the most damage boosts.
