Beautifully written post with great images too. My favorite is, of course, the increase in facial tattoo options. I do like the Laughing skull myself, and might someday roll one as a true story character in my roster.
Great job OP!

Thanks all!
The fact youāve admitted you have no orcs before needs to be changed and if thatās how it happens, then good.
I hope we find out one day why they got those with the WoD model revamp.
U forgot to add the head spikes and mud tattoos.
Tusk piercings, and male nose rings too!
Hopefully Blizzard sees these ideas regarding Orc customization coming would like to see the core races getting many things and long requested ideas to implement the player agency they promised!
Honestly those datamined facial tattoos look absolutely terrible. I donāt know if theyāre supposed to be tattoos or scars, but either way they look horrible. Literally looks like someone took a sharpie to their face. If this is the extent of customization they give orcs then thatās just sad.
Trolls got some new datamining an hour or so ago. Males got several things Iām wishing for orcs to get which gives me hope. Bone piercings:
A nose ring:
Some broken tusks:
And tusk piercings:
Realy happy to see trolls get those, I wanted them for both orcs and trolls, now hoping for my forest troll skin for trolls. Hereās hoping orcs get some of what trolls just had datamined
Theyāre probably meant to mix with the body paint options, theyād look better with those I bet. By themselves though, they look pretty bad. I hope at least some more color and style variations.
Throwing in my support.
It would be amazing if Orcs got even half of the ideas in this thread.
Finally got some new datamining for orcs. Males only at the moment.
Hairstyles:
Got a new hairstyle with metal in it which I thought would be cool to have.
Something like this should go to trolls as well, since several troll NPCs already use a similar one, and Zulājin uses it as well, just not in game.
Also got a long hair style similar to Kargathās. Iād rather have Kargathās than this one, since I think it looks much better, but Iāll take what I can get.
Beards:
Got four new beards but this one in particular I like:
Ears:
I was actually very surprised to see this, we got two options for ear size (and we got it before trolls, which is even more surprising). The difference between the two currently datamined is really small, but itās something nonetheless. I expect more is to come on this front.
Piercings:
Got quite a few of these, but most importantly to me, male orcs, finally, get nose rings. We also got some bone piercings, currently just for noses/ears.
Tusks:
Ā
Still a good bit to come I imagine, but this is a good start and Iām liking it.
I loved the visuals on this thread good job nice changes
Congratulations on the new additions. Iām anxious to see whatās to come for the females as the Maghar options were a step up and I hope that baseline orcs in general are brought up to the same level visually.
New stuff for female orcs datamined just now.
And it looks great. New necklaces, including a bone styled one like I wanted.
I wanted a bit more of a humanoid skull but Iāll take what I can get.
Not really my thing but I like it nonetheless.
Thereās some scarring I figured would come for them. A lot of the scarring textures share the same style as facial tattoos for females, strangely. Iām willing to bet facial tattoos might have been removed.
Got more eye colors, basically same as males. And, tons, TONS, of new earrings, and they look great. I wonāt link them all since thereās too many that look good. I like that ear and nose jewelry are separate options, I hope that gets transfered over to males. Also more war paint/hairstyles/body tattoos.
No tusk jewelry for females yet.
Youāve made the ultimate orc post, like every thing is covered here, and youāve presented it in a way that shows how its actually not even that much work, or even any work at all.
I really hope the art team sees this
I made it before we got our big update with customization. The OP is a bit outdated now, I planned on updating but never got around to it. Iāll probably do it later today now that Iāve been reminded of it.
also though, one thing you missed.
Nipple rings
the OP still stands though, especially regarding blackrock and dragonmaw skins, no clue why they havnt been added.
And hairstyles, tattoos and clan emblems- like i know lore wise orcs have meant to have moved away from the clans and be more just āorcsā but it would still be nice to be like āim a warsong orcā
Dragonmaw orcs have always been the most chad clan and appearance of all orcs. I hate orcs so much but this cannot be denied. They even have a cool tabard.
I will always support more orc stuff. Especially additional clans.
The only custimization I really wanted was voice custimization, it would be nice not to sound like something is caught in my throat for my orc, and my female tauren sounds dopey. Yes, I would like purple eyes for my orc.
