I just finished painting up a few of the old female Orcs
from the villagers range and it got me thinking about how neglected Orc women
folk have become in the past 15-20 years. There even seems to be the silly notion that
Orc females don’t exist which is a bunch of malarkey. But for all the modern fluff's attempt to forget about Orc woman, once their caste in lead you can't erase them.
So here’s a few of my Orc ladies I’ve managed to assemble.
“Now Sista, you aint gonna make no husband outta dat Bo’ by batting
him on the bean with that rolleen-peen…
that comes later.”

the young perspective Orc matron.
I suspect only very old Orcs ever find the urge to settle
down and find a wife and the venture is usual short lived. Gork and Mork only know the nuances of Orc
courtship but I’m sure a fair few of the Boys don’t survive the endeavor.
Although most Orcs are generally idlers and loafers, the cantankerous
old gals incessant berating and a dozen or so dirty screaming whelps around
the hut is usually enough for the old Bo’ to find the nearest waaagh (or start
one) to escape the humdrum of domestic life.
Ol’ Bo Porgo Bucktooth dusted off his old crossbow and
slipped out the front door mumbling something about hearing stunties in the garden. He was never seen around this little village
again.
Here we have
Olgra-go-Bash bringing home the bacon so to speak. Probably going to whip up some
Hair-foot-hoagies or Samwise Sammies’.
Can Orc women join in the fighting with the rest of the
Boys? I don’t see why not so long as she
has a good right hook and can hold her own.
(left)Everybody knew Dorra Skullcrusher had already maimed at
least half a dozen luckless Bo’s back in her village. So nobody really
complained when she attached herself to Boss Gorgat’s raiding party. (right) Bertta Crotchity had reared dozens of whelps
in her day. “fightin’ the waaagh was easier then fixin’ breakfast.”.
The assembled ladies
I saw six Bo’s kicking and punching me mudder-in-law the
udder day. Me gobo sez to me ‘Ain’t ya
gonna help?’ I sez’ ‘Nah, six should be enough’
