So... The lotr orcs are only "pretty orcy"?.... What exactly is this orcyness scale based on? Lotr orcs are the definitive depiction that all modern orcs are inspired by.

LOTR orcs are like wine. They are the original. Elegant, refined, complex.

40k orks are like hard liquor. They are distilled down to their essence.

This also applies to Warhammer dwarfs. Truly the dwarfiest of dwarfs.

I did not expect such a poetic response to something I wrote while drunk at 3 am

The wording is important here. It says "pretty orky" not "pretty orcy" as in 40k Orks, not Orcs.
