Warbringer Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 depends on their physiology, I assumed red due to the amount of squigs they eat. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365131-color-of-ork-blood/#findComment-5562774 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gederas Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 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: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365131-color-of-ork-blood/#findComment-5563006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Whatever you want it to be. It's usually depicted as red or black Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365131-color-of-ork-blood/#findComment-5563038 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Uveron Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 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' Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365131-color-of-ork-blood/#findComment-5563202 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 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.

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.

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.
