The alga also helps heal wounds quickly.

by default, this alga also means that orky gums and tobgues should not be pink, but a very dark green. ork blood SHOULD not be red because of this, but GW has said that it is red to make paining it more dramatic (a stupid reason if you ask me)

hopw this helps
=cause green is best!
lol that made me laugh commando. everyone was saying "well...just because!"
and you give a long explanation....once you reach that point in fluff knowlage you know youre addicted. (a whole other thread =] )
