I love goblins and lizardmen. Goblins because deranged little dudes running around is always a blast. Lizardmen because alligator people with melee weapons are the way I wish dinosaurs evolved instead of being birds.

Original warhammer fantasy orcs were more like Middle-Earth Uruk-hai, they even had women, and hobgoblins being steppe nomads analogues were doing normal nomad things, just with big wolves instead of small horses. 40k orks were kinda separate as they started as satire on british football hooligans. But as mext editions came they were defined as the current fungal sexless species and fantasy orcs followed suit (probably to take away the troubling concepts like “misogyny”, “sexual assault” or “logistics”).
Orruks seems to me exactly like last iteration of Old World orcs, both differing from 40k orks in development level and lesser population increase ratio.
Thanks! I was always more keen on 40k so my awareness of goings on in the fantasy side are more tangential
Oh, there were also half-orcs in 1st edition of WFRPG, which also implies very much about orcs.
