    LotR orcs didn’t use Oliphants I think? It was the army of Haradrin who had them.

    Orcs used trolls to haul any big cargo or weapons

        Uruk hai are black orcs. Do I need to use the orc-racist admonition?

      Also I’m pretty sure there were no cannons in Middle Earth, and Smaug had no business with the orcs. Technicalities though, still a great post.

    A very enthusiastic Warhammer fan that works in the deli at my store told me about the red paint thing, and it continues to be one of the single greatest things I’ve ever learned about Warhammer.

      Its about the most hilariously bullshit ex post facto justification ever, and I love it. Some dood scribbled Kool ork bois with red paint on them and then had to make up some lore as to how their buckets of mad max looking vehicles were in any way a threat to a foe with Nova cannons.

      “How about they have mild but pervasive psychic powers that make it so if they all believe something enough, it becomes true?”
