You see this discourse come up from time to time in other fantasy settings. I remember there being quite a stir over whether lizardfolk in other media should have breasts.
I’m not deep into the Warhammer lore, but there’s a few things I know about orkz:
They grow from spores like a fungus
They were manufactured by some other race as a sort of guardian caste
They have potent psychic powers that manipulate reality around them
My theory is that the folks who created the orkz had nipples themselves. Impressionable young orkz saw that their creators were fully grown and had nipples, so maybe they thought they ought to get some as they mature. If they believe that should happen, then it’ll find a way to happen.
Later orkz would have seen that the previous generation of orkz had nipples, so they would continued growing in this way.
