Actually I think you are wrong Orc are generic name in lots of
systems but thought Ork was a GW trademark for 40k. Thus if you
playing by GW fluff Orks should be green cause of the algae (although
is up to the owner how he paints his own models), allthough Orcs
(usually without guns allthough not in Shadowrun and some other Game
systems) are debatable and dont have the fluff about algae as far as
I know(may well be wrong about the older stuff).
