It isn't so much the dimorphism as much as being abused to death for the pleasure of the males. There are some notations of that happening when the Beastmen raided a town. Not even the beasts were ignored from such a fate.

I think you are underestimating a potential element there. Your average women sexual endurance usually far outstrip that of the average men (Mark Twain illariously illustrated that in Letters from the Earth). If this translate to beastmen that means their women are so savage and lustful not only can they handle their horny (both literally and figuratively) males, but once they are spent they might still be hungry for that cute little men with the spear over there. Ain't he cute he, he brought a gift. Mama-razorgor is going to take care of you..ur-ur-wink-wink.

@Grey Templar

I would expect some Beastmen or more accurately Beastwomen to display breats or numerous teets for example (different shape of horns or even some weirdly exagerated feminine curves like "childbearing hips" for example could also be a thing). Female Ungors might display some more feminine traits.

Not necessarily. Animals generally only have developed breasts while actually suckling young. When they are weaned the breasts shrink back to an undeveloped size. The man part of Beastman might alter this, but it could go either way.

THERE, I SAID IT.

Hypothetically speaking, wouldn't it be part of the fun of such a model? If tomorrow GW decided to produce a limited eddition anniversary model of an immensely savage orc/ork dressed up as a sexy cheerleader (with pigtails and all) armed with a ridiculously large and brutal weapon (or a pair), I would buy this model in a heartbeat. The uglier, the more disturbing, the better. That's what gives both a bit of humor, panash and fear factor to a model collection. The same could be said for Beastwomen or Ogress.

Why use the future tense when GW has already Orc Cheerleaders who have put human female dimorphisms on them.

And yeah, it's rather scary.

Yeah, I mean, just look at my profile pic.
I'm surprised no one brought that up in a thread about Female Orcs.

I personally find it amusing, and that's the point behind them; they are a joke, and the reason why they are jokes is because there are no such things as female orcs.

If there were female orcs a lot of the comedic impact would be lost, as it hinges heavily on shock and absurdity.

I believe it has been brought up once or twice.

I always looked at the cheerleaders as the orcs improvising an observed adaptation. They see the other players with "female" cheerleaders, and so they "develop" their own cheerleaders. There's 40K fluff on this and is a good indication that the Old World would have been royally screwed if any of the Orcs had been reminded of anything higher tech for even a minute.

Sure, why not have women in the race? Don;t give me that mushroom balls they conjured up a few years ago.
