These videos do take quite some time, I always seem to end up finishing it in some mad rush at 5am...but I am hoping to get out more very soon. What would you like me to cover next in the series?
Hey, I really appreciate you putting all of this together! If it weren't for your series on the emperor, 40k would've never caught my interest and I wouldn't have an almost finished Tau army by now :) That being said, I'd love to see your take on the Tau! Cheers
Ahoy! So glad you are back to 40K content :D I would love for you to go over the creation of the Dark Eldar. I know it had something to do with Eldar getting pyschic power hungry and this actually made Slaanesh but the details are lost on me. It'd be wonderful if you could fill me in.
If I were thrown into the 40k universe and told to choose a faction, I would choose orks because they are the only race who seems to be having a genuinely good time.
War is basicaly a playground for them.Let me tell you a story where Tuska Daemon-Killa led an entire WAAAGH on a goddamn hilarious rampage through the Eye of Terror.When Cadia found out about and incoming ork WAAAGGHH, of course they prepared their defences (Which are problably overkill since Cadia is near the eye of terror) only for the Orks to land near one of cadias moons, which of course confused the hell out of the guard.Imagine their increased WTF confusion when the Orks instead of attacking Cadia (like they expected) they charged the eye of terror.After a long (and fun) battle with Khornes daemons, Tuska (before he died) basicaly grabbed and squashed one of the Bloodthirsters balls.Khorne found the entire battle so amusing that he keeps resurecting Tuska and his WAAAGH just so he could have something interesting to watch, each day, every day.Tuska and his WAAAGH are probably THE most happiest WAAAGH in the galaxy. Its like Valhala but with orks. Or the one story where and Ork warboss went back in time to kill himself so he can have two of his favourite guns.The or were soooo goddamn confused by this outcome that the entire WAAAGH stoped with whatever war they were haveing.
I agree, either them or Nurgle CSM. I mean, you're simply a slave to a giant rotting God but you don't feel any pain so that's a pretty nice perk although Orks do seem to be having more fun.
Ork Logic (cant lose) = if you fight and win, you win. If you fight and lose, you run away and win tomorrow. If you fight and die, you can't lose if you're dead so you win!
.... doesn't this result in a perpetual energy generator? Like something that will never stop producing more energy/mass than is put into it? You could theoretically harvest the heat generated by the living bodies explosions gunfire and friction for infinite power.....
My favorite thing about Orks is how if they believe something, then it literally comes true. In one story a bunch of Orks were working to repair the exterior of their spaceship, in space, and another ship came by and asked "HOW ARE YA GITZ BREATHIN IN SPACE WITHOUT A SUIT?" And only then did they start to suffocate. They believed that they would be okay, and they were... until they realized their mistake.
Or when a group of orks was chased by a dreadnought, they were obviously faster and about to escape, but at the last moment one of them turned around and realized that said dreadnought was red, and since "ReD UnZ Go FazTah!" the nought recieved the speed boost and killed them all!
They're literally all psykers... They don't all know it, but every single Ork is connected to the warp. Hence why when they innocently believe or imagine their gun that has already just fired over a thousand rounds... will still go boom when they pull the trigger having never touched a magazine or ammo; rounds still come out.... There's a part of one of the Gaunt's Ghosts where he shows a bunch of officers and Commissars who simply don't believe or are in such denial that Orks can do what they do, blaming it all on troop incompetence.| He take a hollow steel pipe, shows it to a chained Ork, says "This is a gun" hands it to him, and the Ork shoots and kills one of the officers... a chunk of the inside of the pipe had flown out.
the problem is that it would require the imperium to essentially engineer the biggest, baddest whaaag ever seen, that would make the beast look like some tiny invasion, then imbue most fo the orks with the beleif that the emperor can regenerate anything, and THEN get those orks to attack terra itself and then pray that this insane plan actually works. the influence field is rather limited in range, and the orks would have to be in full violence mode for the field to reach its full power
@@mobiuscoreindustries I mean, Yarricks can't die because the orks of Armageddon thought he couldn't die. Ghazkhull'z waaagh is smaller than the Beast as far as I know. You don't need a waaagh to rival the Beast. Your emperor is dead and gone. No waaagh will help you fix that. When gork an' mork show up, you can have your emperor back.
The question is though. If the Tyranids overwhelm the Orks, they take their bodies. Can the corpses release spores, or are those going to be harvested aswell? Also, if the Orks retreat and come back later with a bigger WAAAAAAAGHH!!!!, Does that mean the Tyranids loose? And one more thing. Assuming the Tyranids will harvest the spores, are they the only thing, capable of solving the Ork menace outside of Exterminatus?
@@honzasenbauer612 oi! Wat ya goin’ on about ya git? Dem bugz iz only gud fer stompin’ an nofin elze, an wen dey eet sum nobz deyz doin’ uz a favur, de reel boyz nevar’ looze ta no stinkin cheetin bugz
@@honzasenbauer612 These have been answered in various stories and rule books so I will try to sum up. The spores cannot be harvested, every single time a Tyranid tries to incorporate Ork spores and Ork genes into their creations, the creation immediately starts fighting the Tyranid. Anything made using an Ork gene as a base thinks itself as an Ork and starts fighting anything not an Ork around it. Instead they fully liquify the bodies into raw base genetic material building blocks and don't use the specific Ork gene in creating anything. The spores don't get absorbed...Tyranid leave those behind...so the planet is left with a bunch of spores and not much left on it if the Tyranid win and eventually it becomes an Ork world anyway. There is a huge battle in an entire sector going on right now where the Ork and a Tyranid fleet are fighting head to head. The fleet cannot leave as every time they retreat the Orks just charge forward and keep fighting. The Tyranid have put so much biomass into this war they literally cannot leave without winning now or they will be a crippled fleet. The Orks have actually pinned a fleet in place doing this! Now if the Tyranid win this war they will have so much biomass as to go on a huge sector sweeping buffet. Given their location...they would wipe out the entirety of the Tau if this happens as they are next door galactically speaking. If the Ork win they will have killed off a Hive Fleet and created some seriously strong Orks as all that fighting is only causing the Orks to get bigger and bigger. Ghaz even joined in that fight for awhile to purposefully increase his evolution. He being primed to become the next 'Beast' which was a step removed from a Krork. Krorks are scary, they generate Waaargh! fields even when ALONE and have access to the full racial memory.
The 40k Orks are trully amazing in their design. I don't think there could have been a better way to put a fantasy creature in a sci-fi universe and make it work as well as it does here.
Fat Pikey There are many great novels in the 40k series that will give the lore context if you’re interested, like the Horus Heresy, Eisenhorn or Ciphas Cain novels just to name a few Any aspect of the lore you find interesting probably has a novel series where it is a primary focus
Imagine a space marine seeing an Ork smash though his brothers with a mighty axe and when he manages to disarm the Ork an tries to use his axe to deal a killing blow he finds out it was made of plastic; merely a toy
Yeah i can see it. But i can also see him smashing it into his head anyway and being absolutely confused when it actually works and splits the damn thimgs head in half
@@sinwithagrin4243 Well, one of the best Ork hunters is the Blood Angels...their jumpjets and jump packs never run out of fuel and they go a LOT faster...the Waaagh! field works against the Orks too.
A civil war in the Imperium meant the loss of most of the Primarchs, nearly all technological progress and the Emperor himself. A civil war in Ork society meant a giant party and tons of fun for everyone involved!
orks are genuinely the best race to be in warhammer, the hellish life of fighting will be fun to you, you can basically do anything you believe in, and you get to be a fungi
@@DdraigGoch84 In the table top they have the BEST rule. "Dakka Dakka Dakka" On a 6 you roll again. I had a simple, average, grunt of an Ork headbutt an IMPERIAL KNIGHT and kill it. It was the first action I had on that turn. The guy I was playing against just laughed. That was a 4th of his army's points gone on the first action in the first round all because Orkz iz best! Orks have some of the most fun and batshit random rules. There is no such thing as a salty ork player. Any that pick that faction tend to be laid back and just accept the dice as they happen lol.
Ork game development is just a bunch of Orks punching a keyboard, another bunch of Orks drawing characters and settings in MS paint, and then another bunch of Orks makings sounds with their mouth. They only make games for Ork consoles, and game updates are delivered once a month by the biggest ork developer who tells people that they're just playing it wrong (which fixes the issue the orks thought they had in the first place). Ork games run only on Ork consoles. Running them on anything else will brick that console permanently
@@ivanivan744 As the saying goes, even a group of monkeys with a typewriter will write shakespeare if given enough time. Orks have a better understanding of language than monkeys and thus can do it faster.
I really like how Luetin presents his material as if we're learning about it in universe. There's not really any 4th wall breaking, it's very matter of fact as if I'm listening to a lecture in a course on 41st millennium culture and history and I really like that.
The Virgin DnD Orcs: A race of savages that can barely form a kingdom. The Chad W40k ORKS: A literal war plague that endlessly reproduces and has razed worlds and can will technological wonders into existence.
I seem to recall a spell jammer series that was set in the D&D universe that had space orcs that were pretty impressive. I think they were orcs spelled backwards and they were articulate organized warriors. It was a super interesting series written by a number of authors. A farmer on Kyrnn (from the dragon lance series) had a spaceship crash in his farm and rescued an artifact that was a component of controlling the mighty spell jammer, a overpowered ship shaped like a manta ray
I love the image of Ghazghkull standing above an entire horde and pronouncing in a grand, prophetic way, "In order to destroy your enemy, you must know him.", and all the Orks standing wide-eyed, mouths agape, as if they'd just heard the wisest lessons from Aristotle.
Now think about the fact that ten thousand years ago, primitive humans (who would biologically be identical to us - so they would have the exact same subjective experience as you do) would react the exact same way.
10:43 I love that he's fine with Orks being genetically engineered animal/fungus hybrids with the power to make technology work by force of belief who were created by vaguely Lovecraftian "Old Ones", but draws the line at the idea that they have chlorophyll in their skins, because fungi don't have chlorophyll. His immersion in the lore was just fine up to that point.
@@lemons1559 Yeah but even in the imagination of most, its easier to have an ork get 0.00001% of their necessary caloric intake via star light than it is to believe a mushroom can do the thing that makes mushrooms not be plants, consume CO2, and have chlorophyll. Because mushrooms are real and orks aren't, and why would you (this is actually a great question for any bioengineers if in case they're not already wondering this) genetically engineer mushrooms to be plant-mushrooms. You've reverse engineered the two most very basic eukaryotes at that point. The last time we know that that occurred was 4.5 billion years ago. Meanwhile, in a universe with Gork and Mork: Y u R nOT bELIeVE **application of dakka**
“The orks worship two gods. One is brutal and cunning. The other is cunning and brutal” I dont know how you can say that without busting out into laughter, that’s comedy gold
in warhammer fantasy age of sigmar they are a single, two headed, god, one head mork one head gork. and they call em gorkamorka. Apparently they are the same there as in 40k. meaning the chaos gods want NOTHING to do with that two headed belligerent lunatic and actively seek to AVOID its notice and pissing it off. Orks rule in BOTH settings.
Two gods have one another to fight with. One god will be boooring, three and more gods - too many gods to remember who is why. It's Orky and brilliant.
Orks are one of the best realised alien species in all of science fiction. Relatable enough that you can have them as proper antagonists or protagonists in a story, but utterly bizarre in so many other ways, with a society that seems insane by human standards but has perfect internal logic.
"And the orks would refer to their creators as...the brain boys". I can only imagine the strength it takes to say that out loud and remain serious. Luetin is a man amongst, well, boys.
Am I the only one who thinks someone should make a warrgh to point at your enemy? Imagine an ork warrgh with an actual intelligent race backing them up with resources and Intel.... and they would not be hard to convince if you can get them to stop trying to kill you long enough "look you green fuck wit if you are on our side we give you guns and metal and a big bad war to fight that won't end you get way better dakka ok? Good now stand up one ork ought to be enough to start a breeding program... oh and let's get you some proper armor and weapons"
@@Da_Shark Actually eldar and some radical inquisitors do that kind of thing. But tends to not work for long, because the orks will ALWAYS end up turning against their contractor sooner or later XD
Umbreon GamingYT In a book called The Siege of Castellax, a Dark Mechanicus Tech priest Working for an Iron Warriors Warband actually was in a secret alliance with an Ork Warboss and gave him crucial intel about the Iron Warrior fort in Castellax which led to it’s eventual fall.
In the 40K universe, the orks are honestly the most wholesome race. They dont have any ulterior motives, no genuine malice or sadism. They dont kill or destroy for greed or gain, they just act on instinct and because its what they love to do. They dont hate anyone, they just genuinely love fighting.
Wonder why the Imperium Of Man hasn't considered utilizing the Orks? They just genuinely love fighting, so why not ally with the orks against all other races? Imagine what a combined human/ork armada can do against the Tyranids or Necrons
@@ZackarySchejbalCODBO2RGM2 They have. There is a planet with 3 continents on it. one continent is filled with Ork. The PDF couldn't do anything about them so they started sending the Ork beer and teaching them about the Big E. over time the Ork became the PDF of the planet and worshipped Big E alongside Gork and Mork. The Ork spawned by their spores create Orks that already believe in Big E. These Ork have been used to fight threats to that system and nearby other systems. In a nearby system there is now a moon filled with Loyal Imperial Ork due to the spores and the Orks original sent there to quell a rebellion. Fans have called for an Orkperium and the irony is...the lore already had one it was just in the small stages. The Ork Freebootahz (read space pirates) have also been offered contracts and bounties plenty of times. Several Freebootahz have even appeared on Inquisitorial retinues as hired muscle. The greater Imperium will never ally with Ork though as they are not human. They are xenos and xenos must be cleansed unless it bends the knee to Big E.
This one of the story's I heard "One some Emperor forggoten planet one of many regiments fighting orks. Soon the ammunition started to wither and in a desperation one of the guardsmen started to say "Pew pew pew" and surprisingly orks started to fell on the ground one after another. After sometime they started to notice one squad that was invincible and they shout "I'm a tank. I'm a tank. You can't shoot me."" So as you can see orks are very fast to adapt to new warfare and have very strange magic
Regarding the discussion (10:20) concerning the orc anatomy I have to think of Lichen: it is an symbiotic organism which consist of algae and fungi. It grows in the shadow and is quite sturdy against quite all external environmental influences. Summerized: Fungi+ Chlorophyl, greenish in colour and is hard to kill= Orcs are Space-Lichen
Wait, wait...... orks think the emperor is a god. Generally things orks consider universally divine or immortal...... can be come immortal. Hear me out..... orks are helping keep Big E alive?
The Emperor and Yarrick aren't the only ones if I remember correctly. There are other stories of orks believing enemy commanders to be invincible terrors on the battlefield, that no bullets can touch them or blades glance right off and so they turn invincible because in the orks' collective psychic believe they are. As Luetin said, orks run almost entirely on instinct so everything they do is entirely based on their perception of things. So, combined with the psychic powers of the WAAAAGH - if they perceive someone to be invincible they'll be physically unable to harm them, no matter how hard they try. In a weird way orks manifest destiny like no other species ever could. If nothing else it's absolute heaven for writers since literally anything is possible and you need not even provide an explanation. It's the ultimate form of "a wizard did it".
*Gets arm chopped off* Guards: Oh shit! *dies* Marine: *Doesn’t acknowledge and keeps fighting* Orc: Cool! Now I can make a gun/axe/hammer arm! *picks up random weapon and shoves it into open wound and it somehow works*
To be fair, if the guard lives he has a chance to be outfitted with a biotic/mechanical arm. Oftentimes better suited for warfare then his former limb.
@@bensonapi3220 probably my favorite part of Iceguard was the commander that got neurological upgrade and a new eye after he lost a part of his brain and eye in a war. Now he can count every snowflake falling in his field of view, however he inharrently disturts the implants, and their calculations. Now he is suspicious of every assessment, every decision he makes. Is it the implant or me that made it? How aware is the software. Does it have me and my unit's best intrust?
"Yarrick once again regained consciousness. He stood up, astonished, and even more amazed that his bionics had been returned to him while he slept. Exiting the room, he was greeted by hundreds of Orks who started to cheer him on, while parting a way through their ranks. Bewildered, the Commissar followed his "escort" of Greenskins to the closest launch bay, where Ghazghkull waited for him in front of an intact shuttlecraft. Yarrick expected to be forced to fight, but Ghazghkull merely stepped out of the way, stating to Yarrick that it had been a good fight, and that he should now get back to Armageddon and prepare for the Ork's return. For they would would soon be launching yet another battle to reclaim Armageddon.. However, in a move that surprised friend and foe alike, Ghazghkull later released the elderly Commissar, stating to his astonished underlings that "Good enemies iz 'ard to find," implying he enjoyed the challenge the human posed enough to not want it ended just yet. " I know it is stolen but for me this is best description of how Orks actually enjoy war.. Have a nice day guys..
Ok I've been watching many Warhammer 40k videos lately but I've never played at all, i was just curious about the lore. And these Orks are by far my favorite race so far! Very cute bois
No the nids are a force of nature. Orks are beyond the concept of evil, at least to them. To us they are evil but only because we judge them based on our morals not theirs.
WH40K Titans Humans: Through blessed tech schematics passed down over generations, these mighty metal guardians will drive back our foes Eldar: Elegant and graceful. The unique blend between wraithbone, spirit stone, and pilot maneuvers through the battlefield like a nimble dancer and our smiting opponents Chaos: Brutal and ancient, these thrice blessed and thrice cursed possessed warmachines crush all in their path. Our enemy is reduced to gibbering wrecks at the mere sight Orks: 6:15 DIZ WASA SCRAP'EAP YESTADAY! BE'OLD ME MOIGHTY TROUSA CANNON YA GITZ AHAHAHAHAAAAAA!
You forget there are rare cases of other races being able to make Ork tech work. The Ork hunters on Armageddon can some how use Ork weapons. I guess they fought the Orks so much that now they believe the weapons work too.
@Twiddly Stosh pretty much, imagine how easy things would be for Guilliman if he could just grab the Inquisition alongside the other parasytes, *AN' JUZT MASH EM IN DA 'EaD!*
There is nothing to sink in, orks belive in Gork and Mork and that's it. I don't see the tolerance in this, maybe you should stop searching for underlying motives when there are none.
When dealing with orks, you have to realize that in cannon, outrageous events and coincidences happen for a very good reason. Gazgul made such a good leader because of his fanatical and unquestioning belief, and inspiring the other orks to believe as well. The strong emotions and belief of Gazgul and his tribe gave them an overwhelming waagh energy advantage and allowed him to overcome the other war bosses and unite his planet. That space hulk didn't just pop out of the warp at random: Gazgul told them all that their gods would provide a ship, an entire planet of millions of orks collectively believed and willed it, and literally pulled the space hulk out of the warp to them. Likewise, when they were ready to leave on the ship their belief and waagh energy once again moved the ship through the warp to a heavily inhabited enemy planet. And why did most of the orks survive crashing into the planet? Sheer belief and waagh energy protecting them. This is what made Gazgul so damn dangerous, and why the great commissar was so intent on tracking him down even after his great ork army was defeated. The commissar knew orks and how they work better than anyone alive in the entire Imperium, and was aware that letting Gazgul go was like letting a time-bomb of waagh energy loose in the glaxy, ready to explode into another ork crusade. And this time Gazgul would have the benefit of experience...
It's too late anyway. Good ol' Kryptman started the Octarius war, and in the end, the Orks were victorious when Ghaz arrived at the battlefield. Now, he has the biggest and baddest Orks in the galaxy all in one place, and will probably start a WAAAGH to rival the War of the Beast soon.
@@bojackhorseman4176 So how does the story officially move forward? Novels? Or does it just stay at this cliffhanger place forever while people just play the tabletop? Genuinely curious.
@@peterf9006 The story stays in a cliffhanger until GW wills it to move forward. The entirety of 40k is built like that pretty much - an unending stalemate between the galactic superpowers of the Imperium, the Orks, the Eldar, the Tyranids, the Chaos, the Necrons, and all the other factions. Books and other media is launched anyway because there's huge amounts of history to be written about the extensive periods described by 40k. Lots of things happen on a galactic scale in a year, imagine what could happen in a millennium. Thus, there's always new content popping up, even if the canon is pretty much frozen in time.
You can be the most loyal servant of the Imperium, the most Fanatical worshiper of Chaos or anything in between. But ya gotta admit, Orks are *FUN. AS. HELL.*
This is actually a great point, if you tell a tough ork they don't have enough teeth for what they're trying to buy, would they just knock out yours? The fact that they HAVE a system of currency means they don't JUST beat each other up for their stuff, so would they knock your teeth out and then trade them back to you even though they could just knock your teeth out and take the thing?
@@AngryCarMechanic not so much a moral code as just a way of life to love by. Their logic is that the bigger tougher ork knows better. Thats not something they learn its just how they understand the world
I find it amazing that you were able to narrate the story of the Orks with a straight face. No wonder a lot of people love the Orks. They're hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣
One of them waits until you're not looking to hit you with a stick, the other will hit you harder with that stick when you're looking than the other one ever will
Sometimes I love playing my ork army, I typically lose, oftentimes catastrophically, but I always have a ton of fun when I roll low and a hashed together mech just detonates in everyone's faces
Great video. Yarrick was the Human Warrior (much much more than the Late Arriving Space Marines) that Armageddon needed at just the right time. To me, perhaps his greatest quality was his ability to take a full measure of an enemy that he has fought. Yarrick had developed a keen insight into the Orc race and he knew, probably more than anyone else on Armageddon, what made the Greenskins tick and how best to...make an impression on them in a language they could understand. Case in point: That power claw you mentioned. This was a claw that had once been the crude method by which an Orkish underboss did much of his killing. Just by looking at the thing, both humans and Orks could tell that the device was of Orkish design. When battling the warboss who used that claw with a Bolter and Sword, Yarrick toon defeat and turned it into what I think was an inspired moment if genius on his part. The warboss snipped off Yarrick’s Bolter Arm with the claw. Yarrick, in front of human and pro alike, cut off the warboss’ power claw before running him through. Then he had the surgeon attach the power claw to where his own arm hand been. To the Orks he was The Human Warboss, not to be fucked with. To humans he was that crazy Commisar with the power claw, bane of Orks, True Savior of Armageddon, the Emperor’s Rage embodied.
Orks are the only species where you can run out of ammo and still fight them, simply because they think you still have it as long as you make a gun sound(i forget if that was real lore or fan lore but it makes sense enough)
Orks are the ultimate example of where style=substance. With Orks, the more you boast and show off AND impress the plebian orks, the stronger you will get
Imagine a marketing with claims, which aren't true, but becomes true.....if the customer believes it........if the merch didn't work......it's the customers own fault
@@cy-one They don't, it is more complicated than just believing it. As new vehicles or tech like teleported need to be actually innovated. Their belief will make things work but only so much. The average ork vehicle has as much of a chance to explode or collapse as it does work. And with disregard for any lives, it generally isn't improved if it works and carries a lot of weapons. Also nothing the orks build is ever stable because mekboyz find other orks exploding funny. And that is good enough reason in and of itself.
Orks are fantastic! In a Grimdark future where so many races are depresses, just barely surviving, or straight up evil... Orks are genuinely happy, and having a lot of fun!
Having so much fun in fact that an Eldar philosopher declared that Orks as a whole have won the great struggle (e.g. They don't stress about life, EVER.) and how despite being crude, they're the most content race in the entire galaxy.
@Testro Yes, Neutral. They try to kill whatever race they come across with basically no reason other than it's fun. For every imperial Guard regiment they fight, a Chaos Cult fights them as well. They're not sadistic, they're not corrupt, they're simple minded creatures who really love to fight.
I would absolutely love a Warhammer game set around rising through the Ork ranks to become a warlord, having to divert resources to different clans and decide how you want to take down the hives.
You die a lot but Gork and Mork has blessed you allowing you to remember your past life aka you keep some of your “xp” and war gear (if you can retrieve it)
@@brandonlyon730 Basically that but you assimilate other Ork tribes into yours through killing their warboss, all to attack a hive planet in a giant raid. Then, when you've obliterated them, you recoup your numbers by repeating the cycle and then you move on, conquering an even bigger planet.
@@angeleaterstudios1004 id love something like that, but id love the option to go down there myself and smash some heads. i mean, if i die, i just gonna come back stronger hahaaa
Isn't there a story where Orks were battering down an Imperial Guard outpost until the IG went out of ammo. Only then to shout pew pew pew and killing Orks because the Orks believed the shooting to be true. Then one went in not dieing shouting "I'm a tank, I'm a tank" rendering small arms fire ineffective.
Sounds very far fetched. Orks are not THAT easy to fool and the reality bending power of waagh energy is not THAT strong. Especialy since orks are inherintly convinced of their own immortality. It takes a considerable wake up call from reality to actually kill an ork. In short, since orks are convinced that bullets simply can't hurt them just them knowing they are being shot at is not enough to have any real effect. Although it is canon that orks can fire their guns even with an empty magazine as long as they don't notice that the magazine is empty. It's also canon that ork ammunition frequently is just metal bolts without any form of propellent in them.
Commisar Yarikc didn't have his claw when Grazghul arrived. Yarick lead the defense of Hades Hive. When the warboss Grazghkul sent to conquer it made it past the defense Yarick engaged him in close combat. At the end the warboss managed to get a grip on Yaricks arm with his powerclaw and ripped Yarick arm off. But Yarick, instead of just falling over and dying like any normal humie would swung his chainblade and cut the warbosses head off. He then reached down, cut the warbosses powerclaw off and held it up in Triumph. This feat of tremendous fortitude, deadlynies and willpower broke the orks moral, sending them back fleeing. Only then did Yarick collapse and was carried off for treatment. Yarick then insisted on having the warbosses powerclaw modified and grafted onto the stump of his arm, knowing full well that from this day forward this powerclaw would instill terror into any orks heart. Later, when he learned that the orks whispered about him having "da evil eye" he had one of his natural eyes put out and instead had a laserweapon installed. This is how yarick became famous and a true horror to the orks. And about the virus bombs, virus bombs are exterminatus level weaponary. The ones on armageddon were not there to repell some orks. They were there in case armageddon would (again) fall to chaos and their use than would be to clear the planet from any form of life. The only reason the virus bombs did not do exactly that is because they were stored with a severe lack of maintanance and were improperly launched. And at that point reinforcement from the imperium had already arrived. You butchered the war for armageddon pretty seriously. Finally, Yarick actualy did lead a (comparativly small) crusade and chased after Grazghull. However, Grazghull defeated and imrpisoned him. Yarick managed to stage a prisoner revolt and actually got all the way to the bridge of grazghulls flagship at the cost of all men under his command and steered it into a sun. That was when he was knocked over the head with something very heavy. When he came to himself he was in the midst of a huge number of orks, all staring down at him. The orks formed a cordon at the end of which stood Grazghull, next to an escape pod. Grazghull than kindly (by ork standarts) asked yarick to go home to armageddon and prepare the defense for his return. Basically he used yarick as a lesson to his boys. "You can't have a good fight without a good enemy".
You forgot to mention that according to all of the rules of the 40k universe Yaric cannot die. The Orks believe him to be a devil sent to test them, so the warg energy will keep him alive he is essentially a minor Ork deity. The imperial soldiers believe that the Old Man is unable to be defeated so their beliefs manifest in the warp making him a entity of good like the Emp himself. He is already far older than he should be even with the rejuvenate treatments. But the new pantheon is not officially recognized by GW I'm not even sure the have put all of the pieces together that their own rules have brought into being within the lore.
Lotr fans: "i would be so happy to live in that universe"... HP fans: "i can't wait to get my letter brought by owl"... 40k fans: ".... i'm fine... thanks..."
Any lotr fan that wants to live in middle earth hasn't actually read lotr. Its not a crapsack universe like 40k but anyone who is short or not an elf pretty much lives in feudal Europe except the bandits typically want to kill you before they rob you.
Thanks for this- I'm just now learning about all of the lore. One question: If the Ork's belief in something makes it real, has there ever been an occasion where fear in an Ork (possibly imagining their enemy) has lead to empowering their enemy? Belief = reality? Your fears becoming a reality?
I've been seeing stories in this thread about one time when imperial guards were fighting orks and the guards ran out of ammo. So the guards started making shooting noises, and the orks fell down dead because they thought they should. If that is not canon, it should be and I'm going to treat it like it is.
Yes. Yarrik was believed to be unkillable to the orks. So he was never killed, just bested in battle with orks. They also feared yarriks laser eye and mechanical arm, which in turn powered the eye and the arm.
They also believe the color blue to be lucky, which also happens to be the color of the space marines battle suits. Hence they tend to get lucky when they fight orks. Sometimes guns jam or missiles explode too early. It's actually pretty comical.
Tuska Demonkilla: COM BACK 'ERE! I GOT TASTY WIERDBOYS FOR YA! (while holding the ripped of horn of a demon that did come back as a melee weapon) Demons: Yeah right, fool me twice and all that. Tuska: OK THEN I'M COMIN FOR YA! (steers ship into the eye of terror) Khorne: *happy noises*
My room mate told me about having an ork army at one point with pink armor and equipment to improve stealth, on the justification "Have you ever seen a pink ork? They must be pretty stealthy then," Nobody questioned it xD Orks are officially my new favorite thing lol In a dark and miserable universe that's depressing and oppressive as all hell and ravaged by endless war, these guys just take it on the chin, give no cruds, and have fun with it xD I also loved your reading of the the ork warlord at the end, especially with the art and heavy metal and quotes, heck I could feel the *WAAAGH!* -ahem- through my computer by the end of it lol
Okay correction, the stealthy ork story I guess was actually a meme about purple orcs since I guess the game book didnt list purple as a color that did anything or something xD. But personally I think that should be allowed just because that seems like flawless ork logic lol "I ain't never seen no army 'ats purple, so all the purple armies must be the ones who iz good at sneakin' about!"
@@SakaraCoyfox yeah i think it was meme at first but i do belive it was made canon latter its still kind of meta joke youve never seen a purple ork thus orks thinks its for stealth but also because orks cant be corrupted by choas thus dont turn or radiate some form of purple
@@Hitoshuratdn to be fair, theres a podcast where they tell an anecdote about a bunch of space marines who are out of ammo and surrounded by orcs and the commander just points his rifle and yells "BANG!" and an orc falls down dead because he believed the space marine shot him xD Then of course the orcs all gather together and are impervious to the "bangs" all while chanting "I'm a tank I'm a tank I'm a tank"
think it from their perspective. They LOVE, they NEED fighting. Literally defines their kultur. For a friend to arise in those conditions, it must be someone akin, basicly an equal in strenght, so that can't dominate them, nor get dominated by. By that definition, best friend is the exact same as a favorite enemy.
Nah. If it isn't belching smoke and screaming louder than a jet engine no self respecting orc would drive it. Now if you put a V8 in it and put on a lift kit...
It's pretty funny that while crude and openly critical of humanity Orks don't seem to hate them in anyway intact they really see a lot of similarities in humanity so it's always nice when orks greet humans with a sense of politeness and fondness "Eyy humie ya did nicely dis last Waagh seeya next week"
Slaanesh daemon: I told you to turn them into drugs not beat them up! Khorne daemon: As fun as this is I HATE how useless I feel. Nurgle daemon: Well... can't all be winners Tzeentch daemon: NO WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS!
Here’s a terrifying thought- if it hasn’t already it would make a great short story. Some lone individual- a space marine who lost moral, a guardsman, maybe even a civilian- survives and hides from the Orks so successfully they believe there’s no humans left there… _Which means there’s no humans left there._
It’s funny and ironic that towards the end of the TTS podcast about the Last Church, the Orks sent an offensive message to the Emperor, entirely in crayon, making him angrily curse so much that it caused him to break the censors, which made him go from angry to happily free of the censors. Like that insult helped him out.
Been waiting for a Lore Video of yours since 2nd part of emperor of mankind. You are pretty much the best story teller of 40k out there! thanks for your work man!
It seems that for as good as the orks are against everyone else, they are perhaps the ultimate weapon against the necrons. Which begs the question, did the eldar truly force the necrons into their sleep, or perhaps have they stolen the glory of their old-one forged siblings?
The eldar walked up and were chanting but the necrons saw the orks behind them and decided to ditch. It isnt written anywhere but fuck it its funny so thats what im saying happened

If I were thrown into the 40k universe and told to choose a faction, I would choose orks because they are the only race who seems to be having a genuinely good time.
War is basicaly a playground for them.Let me tell you a story where Tuska Daemon-Killa led an entire WAAAGH on a goddamn hilarious rampage through the Eye of Terror.When Cadia found out about and incoming ork WAAAGGHH, of course they prepared their defences (Which are problably overkill since Cadia is near the eye of terror) only for the Orks to land near one of cadias moons, which of course confused the hell out of the guard.Imagine their increased WTF confusion when the Orks instead of attacking Cadia (like they expected) they charged the eye of terror.After a long (and fun) battle with Khornes daemons, Tuska (before he died) basicaly grabbed and squashed one of the Bloodthirsters balls.Khorne found the entire battle so amusing that he keeps resurecting Tuska and his WAAAGH just so he could have something interesting to watch, each day, every day.Tuska and his WAAAGH are probably THE most happiest WAAAGH in the galaxy. Its like Valhala but with orks.
Or the one story where and Ork warboss went back in time to kill himself so he can have two of his favourite guns.The or were soooo goddamn confused by this outcome that the entire WAAAGH stoped with whatever war they were haveing.
I agree, either them or Nurgle CSM. I mean, you're simply a slave to a giant rotting God but you don't feel any pain so that's a pretty nice perk although Orks do seem to be having more fun.

@@sportyeight7769 lol
My favorite thing about Orks is how if they believe something, then it literally comes true. In one story a bunch of Orks were working to repair the exterior of their spaceship, in space, and another ship came by and asked "HOW ARE YA GITZ BREATHIN IN SPACE WITHOUT A SUIT?" And only then did they start to suffocate. They believed that they would be okay, and they were... until they realized their mistake.
Or when a group of orks was chased by a dreadnought, they were obviously faster and about to escape, but at the last moment one of them turned around and realized that said dreadnought was red, and since "ReD UnZ Go FazTah!" the nought recieved the speed boost and killed them all!
They're literally all psykers... They don't all know it, but every single Ork is connected to the warp. Hence why when they innocently believe or imagine their gun that has already just fired over a thousand rounds... will still go boom when they pull the trigger having never touched a magazine or ammo; rounds still come out....
There's a part of one of the Gaunt's Ghosts where he shows a bunch of officers and Commissars who simply don't believe or are in such denial that Orks can do what they do, blaming it all on troop incompetence.|
He take a hollow steel pipe, shows it to a chained Ork, says "This is a gun" hands it to him, and the Ork shoots and kills one of the officers... a chunk of the inside of the pipe had flown out.

I love how when a Tyranid fleet descends upon an Ork world, the orks cheer as they know that there’s about to be one helluva fight
The question is though. If the Tyranids overwhelm the Orks, they take their bodies. Can the corpses release spores, or are those going to be harvested aswell?
Also, if the Orks retreat and come back later with a bigger WAAAAAAAGHH!!!!, Does that mean the Tyranids loose?
And one more thing. Assuming the Tyranids will harvest the spores, are they the only thing, capable of solving the Ork menace outside of Exterminatus?

@@honzasenbauer612 These have been answered in various stories and rule books so I will try to sum up.
The spores cannot be harvested, every single time a Tyranid tries to incorporate Ork spores and Ork genes into their creations, the creation immediately starts fighting the Tyranid. Anything made using an Ork gene as a base thinks itself as an Ork and starts fighting anything not an Ork around it. Instead they fully liquify the bodies into raw base genetic material building blocks and don't use the specific Ork gene in creating anything. The spores don't get absorbed...Tyranid leave those behind...so the planet is left with a bunch of spores and not much left on it if the Tyranid win and eventually it becomes an Ork world anyway.
There is a huge battle in an entire sector going on right now where the Ork and a Tyranid fleet are fighting head to head. The fleet cannot leave as every time they retreat the Orks just charge forward and keep fighting. The Tyranid have put so much biomass into this war they literally cannot leave without winning now or they will be a crippled fleet. The Orks have actually pinned a fleet in place doing this! Now if the Tyranid win this war they will have so much biomass as to go on a huge sector sweeping buffet. Given their location...they would wipe out the entirety of the Tau if this happens as they are next door galactically speaking. If the Ork win they will have killed off a Hive Fleet and created some seriously strong Orks as all that fighting is only causing the Orks to get bigger and bigger. Ghaz even joined in that fight for awhile to purposefully increase his evolution. He being primed to become the next 'Beast' which was a step removed from a Krork. Krorks are scary, they generate Waaargh! fields even when ALONE and have access to the full racial memory.

Emdless destruction for the sake of destruction is not wholesome.
@@Ransetsu idk, compared to the eternal cock and ball torture by the dark eldars i'd prefer quick death by the orks
@@imtiredtiredtired obviously, but that doesn't make being cleaved in two by a Big Git, wholesome.
Wonder why the Imperium Of Man hasn't considered utilizing the Orks? They just genuinely love fighting, so why not ally with the orks against all other races? Imagine what a combined human/ork armada can do against the Tyranids or Necrons
@@ZackarySchejbalCODBO2RGM2 They have.
There is a planet with 3 continents on it. one continent is filled with Ork. The PDF couldn't do anything about them so they started sending the Ork beer and teaching them about the Big E. over time the Ork became the PDF of the planet and worshipped Big E alongside Gork and Mork. The Ork spawned by their spores create Orks that already believe in Big E. These Ork have been used to fight threats to that system and nearby other systems. In a nearby system there is now a moon filled with Loyal Imperial Ork due to the spores and the Orks original sent there to quell a rebellion.
Fans have called for an Orkperium and the irony is...the lore already had one it was just in the small stages.
The Ork Freebootahz (read space pirates) have also been offered contracts and bounties plenty of times. Several Freebootahz have even appeared on Inquisitorial retinues as hired muscle.
The greater Imperium will never ally with Ork though as they are not human. They are xenos and xenos must be cleansed unless it bends the knee to Big E.

"One some Emperor forggoten planet one of many regiments fighting orks. Soon the ammunition started to wither and in a desperation one of the guardsmen started to say "Pew pew pew" and surprisingly orks started to fell on the ground one after another. After sometime they started to notice one squad that was invincible and they shout "I'm a tank. I'm a tank. You can't shoot me.""

Explains Yarrick's immortality
The Emperor and Yarrick aren't the only ones if I remember correctly. There are other stories of orks believing enemy commanders to be invincible terrors on the battlefield, that no bullets can touch them or blades glance right off and so they turn invincible because in the orks' collective psychic believe they are. As Luetin said, orks run almost entirely on instinct so everything they do is entirely based on their perception of things. So, combined with the psychic powers of the WAAAAGH - if they perceive someone to be invincible they'll be physically unable to harm them, no matter how hard they try. In a weird way orks manifest destiny like no other species ever could. If nothing else it's absolute heaven for writers since literally anything is possible and you need not even provide an explanation. It's the ultimate form of "a wizard did it".

"Yarrick once again regained consciousness. He stood up, astonished, and even more amazed that his bionics had been returned to him while he slept. Exiting the room, he was greeted by hundreds of Orks who started to cheer him on, while parting a way through their ranks.
Bewildered, the Commissar followed his "escort" of Greenskins to the closest launch bay, where Ghazghkull waited for him in front of an intact shuttlecraft. Yarrick expected to be forced to fight, but Ghazghkull merely stepped out of the way, stating to Yarrick that it had been a good fight, and that he should now get back to Armageddon and prepare for the Ork's return. For they would would soon be launching yet another battle to reclaim Armageddon..
However, in a move that surprised friend and foe alike, Ghazghkull later released the elderly Commissar, stating to his astonished underlings that "Good enemies iz 'ard to find," implying he enjoyed the challenge the human posed enough to not want it ended just yet. "

@@ConfusedLemons Quite often, but less than your typical Christian zealot .
When dealing with orks, you have to realize that in cannon, outrageous events and coincidences happen for a very good reason. Gazgul made such a good leader because of his fanatical and unquestioning belief, and inspiring the other orks to believe as well. The strong emotions and belief of Gazgul and his tribe gave them an overwhelming waagh energy advantage and allowed him to overcome the other war bosses and unite his planet. That space hulk didn't just pop out of the warp at random: Gazgul told them all that their gods would provide a ship, an entire planet of millions of orks collectively believed and willed it, and literally pulled the space hulk out of the warp to them. Likewise, when they were ready to leave on the ship their belief and waagh energy once again moved the ship through the warp to a heavily inhabited enemy planet. And why did most of the orks survive crashing into the planet? Sheer belief and waagh energy protecting them. This is what made Gazgul so damn dangerous, and why the great commissar was so intent on tracking him down even after his great ork army was defeated. The commissar knew orks and how they work better than anyone alive in the entire Imperium, and was aware that letting Gazgul go was like letting a time-bomb of waagh energy loose in the glaxy, ready to explode into another ork crusade. And this time Gazgul would have the benefit of experience...
It's too late anyway. Good ol' Kryptman started the Octarius war, and in the end, the Orks were victorious when Ghaz arrived at the battlefield. Now, he has the biggest and baddest Orks in the galaxy all in one place, and will probably start a WAAAGH to rival the War of the Beast soon.
@@bojackhorseman4176 So how does the story officially move forward? Novels? Or does it just stay at this cliffhanger place forever while people just play the tabletop? Genuinely curious.
@@peterf9006 The story stays in a cliffhanger until GW wills it to move forward. The entirety of 40k is built like that pretty much - an unending stalemate between the galactic superpowers of the Imperium, the Orks, the Eldar, the Tyranids, the Chaos, the Necrons, and all the other factions.
Books and other media is launched anyway because there's huge amounts of history to be written about the extensive periods described by 40k. Lots of things happen on a galactic scale in a year, imagine what could happen in a millennium. Thus, there's always new content popping up, even if the canon is pretty much frozen in time.

Great video.
Yarrick was the Human Warrior (much much more than the Late Arriving Space Marines) that Armageddon needed at just the right time. To me, perhaps his greatest quality was his ability to take a full measure of an enemy that he has fought. Yarrick had developed a keen insight into the Orc race and he knew, probably more than anyone else on Armageddon, what made the Greenskins tick and how best to...make an impression on them in a language they could understand.
Case in point: That power claw you mentioned. This was a claw that had once been the crude method by which an Orkish underboss did much of his killing. Just by looking at the thing, both humans and Orks could tell that the device was of Orkish design. When battling the warboss who used that claw with a Bolter and Sword, Yarrick toon defeat and turned it into what I think was an inspired moment if genius on his part. The warboss snipped off Yarrick’s Bolter Arm with the claw. Yarrick, in front of human and pro alike, cut off the warboss’ power claw before running him through. Then he had the surgeon attach the power claw to where his own arm hand been. To the Orks he was The Human Warboss, not to be fucked with. To humans he was that crazy Commisar with the power claw, bane of Orks, True Savior of Armageddon, the Emperor’s Rage embodied.
Those two sentences at the end, that is who the greatest commissar is.
Orks are the only species where you can run out of ammo and still fight them, simply because they think you still have it as long as you make a gun sound(i forget if that was real lore or fan lore but it makes sense enough)

33:48-34:11 My favorite part of this video. I think it helped me truly appreciate the mindset of Orks as a whole in battle.
Isn't there a story where Orks were battering down an Imperial Guard outpost until the IG went out of ammo. Only then to shout pew pew pew and killing Orks because the Orks believed the shooting to be true. Then one went in not dieing shouting "I'm a tank, I'm a tank" rendering small arms fire ineffective.
Sounds very far fetched. Orks are not THAT easy to fool and the reality bending power of waagh energy is not THAT strong. Especialy since orks are inherintly convinced of their own immortality. It takes a considerable wake up call from reality to actually kill an ork. In short, since orks are convinced that bullets simply can't hurt them just them knowing they are being shot at is not enough to have any real effect.
Although it is canon that orks can fire their guns even with an empty magazine as long as they don't notice that the magazine is empty. It's also canon that ork ammunition frequently is just metal bolts without any form of propellent in them.

Commisar Yarikc didn't have his claw when Grazghul arrived. Yarick lead the defense of Hades Hive. When the warboss Grazghkul sent to conquer it made it past the defense Yarick engaged him in close combat. At the end the warboss managed to get a grip on Yaricks arm with his powerclaw and ripped Yarick arm off. But Yarick, instead of just falling over and dying like any normal humie would swung his chainblade and cut the warbosses head off. He then reached down, cut the warbosses powerclaw off and held it up in Triumph. This feat of tremendous fortitude, deadlynies and willpower broke the orks moral, sending them back fleeing. Only then did Yarick collapse and was carried off for treatment. Yarick then insisted on having the warbosses powerclaw modified and grafted onto the stump of his arm, knowing full well that from this day forward this powerclaw would instill terror into any orks heart. Later, when he learned that the orks whispered about him having "da evil eye" he had one of his natural eyes put out and instead had a laserweapon installed.
This is how yarick became famous and a true horror to the orks.
And about the virus bombs, virus bombs are exterminatus level weaponary. The ones on armageddon were not there to repell some orks. They were there in case armageddon would (again) fall to chaos and their use than would be to clear the planet from any form of life. The only reason the virus bombs did not do exactly that is because they were stored with a severe lack of maintanance and were improperly launched. And at that point reinforcement from the imperium had already arrived.
You butchered the war for armageddon pretty seriously.
Finally, Yarick actualy did lead a (comparativly small) crusade and chased after Grazghull. However, Grazghull defeated and imrpisoned him. Yarick managed to stage a prisoner revolt and actually got all the way to the bridge of grazghulls flagship at the cost of all men under his command and steered it into a sun. That was when he was knocked over the head with something very heavy. When he came to himself he was in the midst of a huge number of orks, all staring down at him. The orks formed a cordon at the end of which stood Grazghull, next to an escape pod. Grazghull than kindly (by ork standarts) asked yarick to go home to armageddon and prepare the defense for his return. Basically he used yarick as a lesson to his boys. "You can't have a good fight without a good enemy".
You forgot to mention that according to all of the rules of the 40k universe Yaric cannot die. The Orks believe him to be a devil sent to test them, so the warg energy will keep him alive he is essentially a minor Ork deity. The imperial soldiers believe that the Old Man is unable to be defeated so their beliefs manifest in the warp making him a entity of good like the Emp himself. He is already far older than he should be even with the rejuvenate treatments. But the new pantheon is not officially recognized by GW I'm not even sure the have put all of the pieces together that their own rules have brought into being within the lore.

Thanks for this- I'm just now learning about all of the lore. One question: If the Ork's belief in something makes it real, has there ever been an occasion where fear in an Ork (possibly imagining their enemy) has lead to empowering their enemy? Belief = reality? Your fears becoming a reality?
I've been seeing stories in this thread about one time when imperial guards were fighting orks and the guards ran out of ammo. So the guards started making shooting noises, and the orks fell down dead because they thought they should. If that is not canon, it should be and I'm going to treat it like it is.
Orks dont have fear so probably not.
Yes. Yarrik was believed to be unkillable to the orks. So he was never killed, just bested in battle with orks. They also feared yarriks laser eye and mechanical arm, which in turn powered the eye and the arm.
They also believe the color blue to be lucky, which also happens to be the color of the space marines battle suits. Hence they tend to get lucky when they fight orks. Sometimes guns jam or missiles explode too early. It's actually pretty comical.

Orks are officially my new favorite thing lol In a dark and miserable universe that's depressing and oppressive as all hell and ravaged by endless war, these guys just take it on the chin, give no cruds, and have fun with it xD I also loved your reading of the the ork warlord at the end, especially with the art and heavy metal and quotes, heck I could feel the *WAAAGH!* -ahem- through my computer by the end of it lol
Okay correction, the stealthy ork story I guess was actually a meme about purple orcs since I guess the game book didnt list purple as a color that did anything or something xD. But personally I think that should be allowed just because that seems like flawless ork logic lol "I ain't never seen no army 'ats purple, so all the purple armies must be the ones who iz good at sneakin' about!"
the orks are the only ones having fun in this depressing universe
@@SakaraCoyfox yeah i think it was meme at first but i do belive it was made canon latter its still kind of meta joke youve never seen a purple ork thus orks thinks its for stealth but also because orks cant be corrupted by choas thus dont turn or radiate some form of purple
Then it ultimately turns into my lazer gun can destroy your unbreakable shield.
@@Hitoshuratdn to be fair, theres a podcast where they tell an anecdote about a bunch of space marines who are out of ammo and surrounded by orcs and the commander just points his rifle and yells "BANG!" and an orc falls down dead because he believed the space marine shot him xD
Then of course the orcs all gather together and are impervious to the "bangs" all while chanting "I'm a tank I'm a tank I'm a tank"
I love how the best friend and the favourite enemy has the same meaning in the ork language.
think it from their perspective. They LOVE, they NEED fighting. Literally defines their kultur. For a friend to arise in those conditions, it must be someone akin, basicly an equal in strenght, so that can't dominate them, nor get dominated by. By that definition, best friend is the exact same as a favorite enemy.
Orcs believe that painting their vehicles can make them go faster. So basically Orcs are just men who drive Honda Civics?
"YES"
That sounds like my neighbor
"You see this here spoiler? This baby will add so much traction, you'll think it's a damn Porsche."
Considering orca have no male genetalia,yeah they are one in the same
Nah. If it isn't belching smoke and screaming louder than a jet engine no self respecting orc would drive it. Now if you put a V8 in it and put on a lift kit...
It's pretty funny that while crude and openly critical of humanity Orks don't seem to hate them in anyway intact they really see a lot of similarities in humanity so it's always nice when orks greet humans with a sense of politeness and fondness
"Eyy humie ya did nicely dis last Waagh seeya next week"
Demonic spirit went inside Ork mind...
"It so empty inside..."
To which the emptiness responded, "OI, SPOIKY GIT! GET OUTTA MA 'EAD! I GOTZ TA FINK OF DAKKA!
@@EMan-1920 followed by an imaginary army of orks running at the daemon
@@EMan-1920 honestly the ork would bashing his own head in thinking "I gotz to get this fing out ifz my pink stuff Getz hert da dok will fix et"
Slaanesh daemon: I told you to turn them into drugs not beat them up!
Khorne daemon: As fun as this is I HATE how useless I feel.
Nurgle daemon: Well... can't all be winners
Tzeentch daemon: NO WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS!
Here’s a terrifying thought- if it hasn’t already it would make a great short story.
Some lone individual- a space marine who lost moral, a guardsman, maybe even a civilian- survives and hides from the Orks so successfully they believe there’s no humans left there…
_Which means there’s no humans left there._
I don’t get it, Explain
By the ork beleving the last human on that planet is gone,
The hiding human individual just vanishes from reality.

he becomes a gretchen, truely a fate worse than death
It’s funny and ironic that towards the end of the TTS podcast about the Last Church, the Orks sent an offensive message to the Emperor, entirely in crayon, making him angrily curse so much that it caused him to break the censors, which made him go from angry to happily free of the censors. Like that insult helped him out.
In crayon. God dammit i love this fandom
Been waiting for a Lore Video of yours since 2nd part of emperor of mankind. You are pretty much the best story teller of 40k out there! thanks for your work man!
oriol artigas amen! Love these Lore Vids, didn't know anything about 40k, but am catching up through these
You should take a look at archwarhammer too^^
6:51 It's confirmed that Todd Howard is an ork and fallout 76 is actually ork warhammer tech.
It just works!
Quote by Todd Howard!
But see it doesnt because we think it doesnt and ergo it dont. But we thought fallout 3 worked better ergo it did.
@@johnrichardson7310 except it doesn't
Ork tech actually works though.
It jus' wo'kz, boiz!
It seems that for as good as the orks are against everyone else, they are perhaps the ultimate weapon against the necrons. Which begs the question, did the eldar truly force the necrons into their sleep, or perhaps have they stolen the glory of their old-one forged siblings?
The eldar walked up and were chanting but the necrons saw the orks behind them and decided to ditch. It isnt written anywhere but fuck it its funny so thats what im saying happened
