Greenskins being renamed as 'Orcs and Goblins'

[Nebiros]

Anyone notice that in the "What's Next?" video and announcement they referred to Greenskins as 'Orcs and Goblins' instead? They kept saying it instead throughout the video as well and the one time they said 'Greenskins' felt like a slip of the tongue.

I get it, the army books were titled 'Orcs and Goblins', but Greenskins roll off the tongue better and is more unique, and... why change it now? What's the point?

I sense GW meddling

I think you're reading too much into it.

thank you for your valuable input, mr lurks-on-forums

Oh, were you looking for fellow conspiracy nutters to nod their head in agreement that GW is "up to something" based off of what 2 guys on YouTube said?

My apologies.

The official faction name is Orcs and Goblins, and the CA devs devs said "Orcs, and Goblins, and Squigs".

They were obviously hinting at the coming Colossal Squig, which will be the Orc DLC centerpiece unit.

I can only hope they add a Spear-Chukka too, since Orcs have no anti-monster artillery, and the Spear-Chukka is a timeless classic.

So that people know that the army consists of Orcs and Goblins.

Lurks would imply Zeek only reads and never or rarely actually types.

You're either reading too much into it, or you're simply looking for something to be angry over.

Well they are "Orcs and Goblins." Definitely reading too much into this.

This just in, "Green Tide" to be renamed "mostly peaceful protesters". Black Legion to be renamed "Freedom Fighters".

I suppose Kharn's whole official story line about "Walking the Red Path" might be offensive to Native Americans. Being 1/4 Native American myself I REALLY like the story and the Red Path naming. Surely there's 1 out of 100 trillion that are offended so surely there's a name change coming. Right?

It's the woke agenda, Greenskin is offensive. Just kidding. Please can someone tell me why Depth of Field is stuck on???

Yes the term Greenskin is offensive to gay frogs, don't be a bigot.

Orcs & Goblins has literally been the name of the army book since 4th edition. https://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/List_of_Warhammer:_Fantasy_Battles_Books#Army_Books

Well we have Lizardmen and Nurgle now, so Greenskins is not descriptive enough :D
Also, real Orcs are black anyways ;)
