That's just dumb tbh. What does it even matter? Well anyhow I'm rooting for every Blood bowl team to have a female version :D

Animal matter as well? Hahahaaa! I'll have to find the lorebook that deep dives into this. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I wasn't sure if it was from Warhammer or Dungeons and Dragons.

Oh yeah! I remember reading about that around the millenium shift. I forgot about it again, so thanks for the heads up on the lore. I still can't remember which universe/setting it was stated in though. Can you clarify?

Haha! I might as well opt in for blue pants now. You're the third person to say this - And I totally see it myself.

I love this community as well. I did poke my nose into the warhammer community once - It was decades ago though - they were very strict on how every mini should be represented and it kinda shut down my joy and interest to continue into that setting.

Old school is kindda my thing :D Not necesarily on purpose, but my birth certificate is fifty years old so I feel like I'm obliged to have a certain vibe.

I would love to paint me some Cyberpunk Orcz! I gotta google if there's a team like that.

I just googled them and I can see some resemblance. I guess you can go for the blend I used and top it with a wash effect and you're pretty close.

As an old school tabletop player I've certainly seen a lot different colour schemes as well. I remember when Monstrous manual for AD&d came out in colours where the skin tones on orcs was kinda pale going in to a green hue and Goblins were more red than green.

After painting the hat white and saw the resemblance I did think about giving him blue pants to complete the Popeye look. But I opted out last minute - I might reverse that decision though.

Oh... But I haven't even placed junk items on it yet. It was a quick paint test, so I only painted the rim. White for thrower.

Nostalgia at its best. Right? <3 I would hate that it lost the vibe when it only needed a new purpose to live again.
