They weren't always mjust green, there was a time when the bad moons were
brown, hence the name of the old paint Orc Brown. Not all bad moonz
though. I haven't seen any other coloured orks from other clans, but i so
remember the ork-stealer hybrids...

When you dream there are no rules, people can fly, anything can happen.
Sometimes, there's a moment as you're waking, that you become aware of
the real world around you, but you're still dreaming.
You may think you can fly, but you better not try it
