Can someone post any pictures of Gork and Mork? are there even pictures? are they even physical beings, I looked on google and couldnt find any. I was thinking they were like non physical entities and didnt really take up any actual form.

Well, all gods are formed of raw emotions in the chaos realm, so I would assume they are real. However, all magic is derived from chaos energy except Greenskin magic, so maybe they aren't. Quite an interesting question really, can't wait to see what the lore folks say. However, I would wager they do exist with all the other gods, but the Greenskins have just never really cared to draw them. Art is not exactly prevalent in their society, after all.

What are you talking about, the closest portrayal for them (or atleast one of them) is seen everywhere. You think that crude smiley face, skull thing (face of...) is just a radnom decoration that looks good?

EDIT: I am very SERIOUS when I say this.

Actually if I remember right from the lizardmen codex that the Slann could use magic even if the winds of magic IE chaos is not present. I will see if I can find the exact text!

Okay, I (likely) stand corrected. But the point still stands.

i remember reading that its theorized that Gork and Mork were actually the very first greenskins, the two bickering brothers. but where actually not gods.
Just greenskins who first came into existence.

That may be, but Sigmar was also a real human before he became a god. Surely by now all the bloodlust and frenzy the greenskins feel must have been turned into a god, the way all the other gods(minus the chaos gods themselves) are formed.

Best I could come up with on short notice, though it is an official picture of Gork and Mork, from the Ork perspective. Or maybe Mork and Gork, it didn't say which one was which.

Gork seems to enjoy standing on my glade riders though.

It's two gigantic Orks wrestling around a mountain range for me, but that's happened a few time for me.

See that Huge Stinking pile of Mishaped Dung with bits of Orc armour, Limbs , Dwarf helmets, sticks pointing out of and Goblin parts? Well that's Mork.. Or .. er... Gork. Atleast it's a Greenskin Effigy.

In truth Mork Or gork, or Both of them Both look like Greenskins - Big greenskins I'm guessing. Who knows if they're real? I doubt it personally. I think Greenskin Energy comes from the greenskins themselves, rather than any godly entity .

Think of it as psychic energy or somesuch, Green goo in other words. More Orcs - The more WAAAAAAGGHH generated , Basically meaning that WAAAGGGHHHH Is created by orcs themselves.

But still ONE of their faces atleast, is that sketchy Orc face that they paint on everything as crude as it is. I think one of them is more portrayed as a goblin, because one of them is cunningly cruel, and the other is cruelly cunning (if thats an actual word) alot of fights can happen just because they argue about which ones which.

No niether is potrayed as a Goblin, Orcs would never.. Ever even consider that. Gork and mork are supposed to be brothers afterall. Orcs are cunningly brutal and Brutally cunning means the same thing practically anyway :p

Nope they are different, being brutally cunning doesn't mean the exact same thing as cunningly brutal. There is a difference.

(I keep mixing up 40k again!!! I need to find my books...)

:p There's hardly a difference That's the entire point, They inspire orcs to fight over an entirely futile and entirely pointless thing.

Ah here we go, Gork in fantasy is the god associated with strength and Mork is associated with cunning.

For 40k one hits you while your not looking, and one hits you hard while you are looking.

Heh, Well we don't really.. know which is which and orcs just love to argue over it ending in alot of Cracked skulls.
