I'll properly regret asking this... Greenskins?

[Woldy]

I haven't seen any female Orcs or Goblins and i started to wonder, "Where do they come from??". There is no refrences about it either, it's like the Greenskins just spouted out of the ground or something.
If anyone has information as to how in the world the Greenskins procreate i'd like to know, i'm too curious :P

Think they come out of spores. Plenty of lore videos on youtube

[Ardariel]

they are mushrooms.

'ere you go

[Aleera]

You are correct, Greenskins do infact sprouted from the ground.

Squigs, snotlings, Goblins, Hobgoblins, Orcs. All of them fall under the same genus.

The more mysterious question is: but where do Dwarves come from?

[I'm Ant]

I always thought an Orc went behind a bush and pooped one out like in The meaning of Life. Dwarfs have women they are in the mountain in the kitchen.

The game has dwarf brides as followers. So here you go...

Can confirm greenskins are just one big alien family; their entire species is a self-contained eco-system where you get orcs, goblins, and squigs as their internal biology determines appropriate. And yes, they practise cannibalism.
There's a pretty heavy implication that they have genetically stored knowledge of how warmachines work, which is why every orc sprouts out with basic knowledge of how to make implements of war.

Seriously? Weird.
Wait, does that not mean they are canibals? since they grow and eat Mushrooms on a regular basis?

Well "mushrooms" is a big class. I mean, humans grow and eat mammals on a regular basis.

They are eating other greenskins on regular basis too. So what is your question about exactly?

Oh yeah, forgot about that.

In older editions of Warhammer, there were female orcs. About edition 4 (1990) GW stopped discussing the subject. 8th edition they settled for the easy answer and made them fungal, like the 40k Orks.
