In the Orc Biology section it talks about the fungal nature of Orks. However I thought there was no connection between Orcs (fantasy) and Ork (40k), so I am not sure if what is true for 40k is true for warhammer.--Elfwood 12:54, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Is it worth mentioning the Orcapault?24.17.214.242 05:43, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] General tidyup

I've tidied up most of the section, and elaborated and explained them a bit more. I think it's well enough presented that it's obviously an article about a work of fiction that the tag can be removed. Tohya 10:56, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Recent fluff has now made clear that warhammer fantasy orcs are produced the exact same way as there 40k cousins. This means there is no gender in orc society. The female orc from blood bowl should be considured nothing more then an orc who indetifys with females of other races. User: PuppetMaster 29 nov 06

The change in background should be noted, if only because it does explain the breasts on those cheerleaders rather than some guff about identification. GraemeLeggett 20:43, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Biology Section

Under the section "Biology" there is an Edit by CS adding about Grot Kicking.

I was under the impression that this was a Warhammer 40,000 ORK game not Warhammer game. The fact that CS then goes on to refer to the psychic powers of the Orcs in Warhammer and that it is these psychic powers that make their Technology work, feels to me to prove that the section written should be in the Warhammer 40,000 ORK section not the Warhammer one.

[edit] Ghazkull Thraka

Under the Named Orc & Goblin Characters section, it should be noted that Ghazkull Thraka is a Warhammer 40,000 Character, Leader of the various Armageddon Invasion by the Orks. He is not a Warhammer Fantasy Charater.

As of the latest Warhammer Publication the Orcs of the Warhammer World are confirmed to be Fungal Based like their Warhammer 40,000 counterparts.
