Color of Ork blood?

[Token]

What color is Ork blood, red or green? What about bones?

[Warbringer]

depends on their physiology, I assumed red due to the amount of squigs they eat.

[Gederas]

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:

[Xenith]

Whatever you want it to be. It's usually depicted as red or black

There was a long article about this in a old white dwarf back in 3rd edd. 

 

"Why is orks Blood red" 

 

it spent ages talking about the science of it all.. 

 

and then finished by saying 'Mostly because it looks cool'

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.

Maybe I will go with red and white then. Thanks.

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.
