Anyway enough fantasy in the 40K thread.
I think Orks were one of the best looking factions in both Fantasy and 40K. I will never call them 'Orruks', fuck you GW, more reason to ignore 'Age of Sigmar', and they better never force that shit into 40K like 'Drukhari' and 'Aeldari'. There used to be a lot of craziness, like that picture of a weirdboy vomiting warp energy, or the batshit colour scemes of the past. I contend that they have suffered badly in modern sculpts, losing a lot of their character, such as those big chimp-like grins they used to smirk.
Look at these 1st and 2nd edition beauties, so much character:
By 3rd and 4th edition, they were getting a bit more 'anatomically correct':
But the modern sculpts look like they are too clean from computer-aided-design:
Old Ghazghkull had a lot of character and was instantly recognisable:
New Ghazghkull looks like a generic warboss in Mega Armour:
Squats always had Orks as their arch-enemy, just as in Fantasy. Bringing Squats back should be an opportunity to ignite a renaissance in Ork on Dwarf violence. Longbeard ore miners throwing their power axes into Ork hordes, deep in the tunnels of the ancient mineral worlds of the galactic core. Instead they both are looking more like generic short people in space suits and generic green aliens, so GW need to get that batshit mentality back. Write some novels about Ork on Dwarf waaaaaghs.
