Hi!
Kelvin defender of orks everywhere hear this....
heheh, I can agree partially with you, ork image has been stoopifyd (pun
intended) in recent times. Tell you what I'll leave the original names and
place orky names in parenthesis besides them, then those who wish to ignore
them can and those who like them can enjoy them. How that? I'm not much for PC
things but this sounds good.
