Color of Ork blood?


Token

Recommended Posts

It's red. Solely because, iirc, one of the 'Eavy Metal (or GW) painters way back in Rogue Trader/2nd Edition tried painting a bleeding Ork with green blood and it "looked like he had a gooseberry explode on him" :lol:

I’ve always done their blood red and their bones bone-coloured.

It just keeps things easily recognisable.

 

I’ve only ever done non-red blood on a purestrain genestealer. On pretty much anything else I’d do red as the eye recognises it immediately.

Only other thing I'd add to that is Tau having blue blood, after reading someone post a very thorough mini-essay on how Tau would have haemocyanin, not haemoglobin.

Good point! I’d forgotten the Tau. Definitely blue for them :tu:

When I left the Hobby there were no Tau, and when I came back to it I never really got into them.
