[QUOTE="GMMichael, post: 9756828, member: 6685730"] Yikes. It seems that Krorks were a celestial-war combatant/faction, so I wouldn't be too worried about them. Mythology being what it is. But the orcs of Warhammer fantasy are: " . . . huge slabs of muscle moving underneath tough green skin, and their jaws are lined with vicious fangs that jut out from their underbite.
