So I know orks are pottage ad male warriors, but are there such things as female orks?

No. For that matter, there's no such things as male Orks either, they're entirely asexual.

They are fungus, space shrooms. They reproduce via spores that they keep extracting from their bodies, those spores can become with time squigs, grots, getchin and of coarse ork boys. Yet they have no such sentiments as male, female, child or parenting. An ork would not know and even if he did would not care for his... uhm "offspring".

There's technically no such thing as male orks. They have no gender, and reproduce asexually.

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

But they still have titty bars where they can go trade teeth for a look at another orks spores right?

Please dont quash my dream of having an Ork strip club terrain set!

No. Orks are asexual, reproducing through spores. Brother Coa's signature even mentions them as "magic mushrooms".

I should have left him there. He had served his purpose. He owed me nothing - yet he gave himself to me willingly. Why? I know not. He is nothing more than a pathetic human. An inferior race. A mon-keigh. But still I broke off my wings so that I might carry him easier. I took him from that place, into the snowstorm where our tracks will not be found. He is heavy. And he is dying. And he is slowing me down. But I will save him. Why? I know not. He is still warm. I can feel his blood ebbing across me. For every beat of his heart, another, slight spill of heat. The heat blows away on the winter wind. His blood is still warm. But fading. And I have spilled scarlet myself. The snow laps greedily at our footsteps and our lifeblood, covering them without a trace as we fade away.

As the others have said, orks are asexual. They have no Males or Females.

An Ork strip-club? Oh... Oh no... You're not using that model are you?

THAT model is an orc, not an ork.

Right. The Orc chearleader from Blood Bowl is a for-laughs kind of thing. As Orks are spawned from fungus, they have no gender.
