What do your Orcs look like?

[painandgreed]

As tempted as I am to use 40k Orcs as my model, I go with the 3E versions.

Say, we're that "Tell me about your orcs" thread?

 

[Christopher Lambert]

A synthesis of LotR Uruk-hai, WarCraft and DnD, with most of the influence being WarCraft. I give them +2 Strength and +2 Con... and no light blindness!

I don't like the swine-like version.

 

[Henrix]

I'm basically in the D&D3E field, especially the dreadlocked orc pirates from Freeport! But in some campaigns the pigsnouted version might come out!


Green orks are a ridiculous politically correct byproduct of Grimes Orkshop. They modelled them in kneadatite ("greenstuff") and showed them to the citadel boss, who decided orcs should be green.

I don't use Orcs much --

I always pictured mine as short beastial men with coarse ugly features, leathery skin and heavy bones

 

[Dark Jezter]

Warcraft Orcs, all the way.

Agreed.

 

[alsih2o]

Remember the pig-headed guards at Jabba the Hut's palace?

 

[Krieg]

Think Gargun from Harn (this covers the entire range of goblinoids):

 

[Steverooo]

Gorillas... with fangs, and INT!

'nuff sed!

 

[Breakstone]

I just love DiTerlizzi's differentation between the Orcs (http://www.diterlizzi.com/art/games/dungeons_dragons/dnd-orc.html) of 2e and the Hobgoblins (http://www.diterlizzi.com/art/games/dungeons_dragons/dnd-hobgoblin.html) of 2e...

 

[Megatron]

Yeah, bigtoothed gorillas with INT.
A lot like the pair of 1/2orcs in Complete Warrior only chunkier.
