A lot has changed in the two years since EA Mythic began releasing screenshots of the greenskin monsters called Orcs. How have they improved these evil creatures? Ten Ton Hammer has put together every screenshot we could find of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning's Orc race providing a visual history of how they have evolved. Check out just how far development has come along inside.

These being of destruction have been a part of just about every fantasy based game as far back as the tabletop Dungeons and Dragons. They're big, they're mostly stupid, and they'd sooner smash your face in than shake your hand. It's no different in Warhammer Online. As legend goes, the Orcs have no women because they're born of spores, possibly brought here by the Ancient Ones when they came to the Warhammer world. Born with a pure desire to destroy and fight, Orcs will seek out battle whenever able, sometimes even within their own ranks.
