I thank Mom & Dad for this series it is so good.
You're welcome, son
Ah more imperial sanctioned info from cannoness snipe and comissar wib, excellent!
Back into the tts-cave with you Bruva, chop chop. (pokes with cattle prod )
give me tts
Wot? Bruva Alfabusa isn’t working on TTS? HERESY!!!!! *blam*
In fairness, the spore-based reproduction wasn't introduced until Gorkamorka came out.
Oh absolutely, I just want more HARD facts about greenskin sexual encounters... DO IT GW YOU COWARDS.
Will you do an episode on Codex Imperialis?
Probably, it's one of the few books we have that actually reference Squats so we gotta haha
I could make a book about ork sexual encounters if you like. Or even a VN. With different orks from different clans.
I don't see a single bad idea in this conversation.
Nice to see Zodgrod and Makari return to current 40k. Warms my shrivelled heart.
You should do one on the Tyranids codexes over the years, specifically comparing 2e/3e/4e. Not one, not two, but THREE complete aesthetic overhauls, not including the two overhauls of the Genestealer Cults. Probably some of the most fascinating behind the scenes history in the entire hobby tbh.
I agree!

I wonder if they changed so much because of Blizzard's introduction of the more popular Zerg.
@@k-leb4671 That is indeed the reason.
@@k-leb4671 It's interesting how the Zerg were very obviously modelled on the Tyranids, but GW then remade the Tyranids to be more like Blizzard's imitation. Reminds me of how DC Comics later on changed The Question to be more like Rorschach in "Watchmen", who in turn started as a Captain Ersatz of the Question.
Me seeing this before 24th Jan 2020: What is Makari if still alive, just stuck up Ghazghkulls arse?
24th Jan 2020: (Sees Ghazghkull teaser with Makari at the end) HE SHAT HIM OUT AT LAST!!!
Sometimes the arse giveth, and sometimes the arse taketh.
Now Zodgrod is back
Stormboyz actually had a funny backstory in this edition, being juvenile orcs who felt they had to be counter culture, so started to get organized and do drills and marches and such. Adult orcs would say stuff like "they'll grow out of it"
Orks subcultures were mostly based on British hooligan subcultures at the time. I always assumed old Stormboyz were ment to be the Nazi Skinheads of Orks.
@@pandaman2234 no they were way sillier
@@mailthedragon well yeah all Orkish subcultures are a lot sillier then there IRL counterparts tho
@@pandaman2234 The silliness was their appeal in 2nd edition. They've become much more serious since.
@@mailthedragon everything was sillier back in the day, the models where not detailed enough for anithing to be taken too seriusly
I firmly believe this episode is responsible for Makari's return, the upgrade of Gaz, and the Beastsnaggas
In the grim darkness of the far future, there are only bright primary colours
2nd edition GW art and official studio armies in a nutshell
Watching this 5 years later and now Zodgrod and Makari are back!
Guess who's back from being smashed by a warboss's ass?! Our favorite little lucky gabbo!
its kinda cool looking back on this now that makari has a new model and zodgrod is getting a new one with the beastsnaggas
I love how you mentioned the photocopiable pages and failed to cover the trek to the library and pockets full of 5p (later 10p) coins you needed to take so that you could take said photocopies!
I truly believe that W40k, D&D, and White Wolf were keeping the public library system in the UK afloat until we started to buy scanner/printers for home... 😉
Funny thing about this is: orks' Shootas hits just like Bolters to this very day
I love this series! I know its hard to make but its very cool.
Absolutely!
Everyday of the week
good news its 2021 and Zodgrod Wortsnagga is back he spent most of 2020 fishing makari out of gazghkulls arse and now he's taking to the table top with the beast snaggas
That weren't the Kaptin Badrukk model, that were Boss Zagstruk!
Holy shit, you're absolutely right, straight up mistake there haha.
They wanted to save the eyes of the viewer from *DA FLASHIEST GIT*
YA GOT DA WRONG MODEL FOR BADRUKK YA GROTZ
I like that the two characters that didn't appear in any of the codexes, are now back with all new models.
Great video as always. I think GorkaMorka is worth a look given how the factions of the 40K universe are subverted and the Necron subtext added later.
Plus it was a really fun game.
I started in 2nd edition right before 3rd edition. I didnt get any 2nd ED codexes at the time but later found a few old books I bought cheap. I actually think between 2nd all the way down to 8th edition that I like 2nd edition the best. Space Orks in particular were actually pretty good in 2nd. The different Klan Mobs would provide different options that were later in 3rd edition separated and restricted by the Force Organization chart. In 2nd edition you could have an army of Bad Moons with Mega-Armor, Death Skulls with heavy weapons, Evil Suns with bikes, and so on making up most of your army. Similarly orks having options for effective weapons rather than the low quality imitations of Imperial equipment from 3rd edition onwards was actually cool. They "Looted" everything they could, so yeah Orks in looted Leman Russ and Land Raiders.
Great times! 40k second edition has always been my fav.
On a side note, the ork stormboy boss is not Badrukk, he's Zagstruk!
I remember a comment about why Ork blood was red in later art. It went something like "it shows up better"
Yeah, I heard someone at GW say on a livestream that Ork blood should be green but if you paint green splotches on an ork it just looks like it had an accident with a slurpee.
@@HomesteadDork A Gooseberry flavoured slurpee to be the exact, something I am not sure has ever existed outside the United Kingdom.
2nd edition was my introduction for 40k. Thanks for covering it.
I love how some of these models look so much like what John Blanche would make if he sculpted figs.
Bit late to the party but just watched this again and I absolutely cracked up at the ogryns finding orks amusing company bit
Thanks for the trip down memory lane! This was my first 40k army and it was a difficult army for a beginner! I think I won a couple games but my opponent always took plasma missiles. I usually had great success with the squig catapult, and occasionally the kustom combi-weapons, if they didn't blow up. Thanks for the video!
You each stare intensly into my very soul.
I still have fond memories of this codex from my early teenage years, thank you for the video!
Thanks for sharing some nice info on the boyz from back then.
Orks with sleeves is the best way to describe the 2nd edition models
I live for “he smol”
those were the days, scaring old grannies with my Realms of Chaos Warhammer game books. Haha 2:42 look at those StormBoyz with Nazi uniforms.
Both the Stahlhelm and the Feldgrau colour were in use by the germans back in ww1, they're not really "Nazi uniforms".
Wib Very Disappointed is a highlight of this whole channel
Ah yes, back when 40k and fantasy orks still were almost the same. To bad the 40k ones lost the furs hats tho, I loved those on my fantasy models
#GrotLivesMatter
Are you part of the Gretchin Revolutionary Committe or the Revolutionary Gretchin Committe or the Committe of Revolutionary Gretchin?
@Turnip Singularity "Splitter!"
Wrong
Do you mean those silly little Gretchins, Tau?
2:33 Argh!...(puts on sunglasses) Ah, much better.
Also, now I kinda want to see a battle between Thunderwolf Cavalry and Warboars/Cyboars
It's funny watching this now, as both Makari and Wortsnagga now have models. As do snakebites orks, in the form of the beast snaggas.
I love the old Ork lore.
You didn't mention the orky alphabet and dictionary that's in there, that was always one of my favourite parts of that book!
This makes me happy in my naughty place. MY MIND!
* nods * The naughtiest place of all.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGH!!!
'Ere we go, 'ere we go, 'ere we go! 'Ere we go, 'ere we go, through the Cooooozmos! 'Ere we go, 'ere we go, 'ere we go! 'Ere we go, 'ere we go, through infinity...!
Poetry
ORKS! ORKS! ORKS! ORKS!
Funny enough after rewatching this episode years later, the two characters that were never seen again after 2nd edition are both back with new models. I hope GW bring back more
the art and painting of the early days looks so much better. I'm so happy I kept all my old books
awesome video!!
these videos are great, definitely why I started watching!
Surely imperial guard tanks aren't manned by orks, they are orkked by orks
Watching you two review this is hilarious and excellent. I still have all these books and figs as I am an Ork.
I had to laugh hard at the RIP Makari part.! ;-) Love your videos!
Ork players today don't know what they missed. Nothing was more satisfying than crippling your foe with a twin Pulsa Rokkit barrage on turn one, especially if they had jetbikes or skimmers!
Or a successful hit with the shock attack gun that fired snotlings through the warp at your enemiez!
DEAR SWEET MAKARI
SCRAPED OFF OF GHAZGHKULL'S HINDQUARTERS BUT NEVER OFF OUR HEARTS
Snipe going "orks, orks, orks" makes this video!
And now, three years later, Makari and Zogrod are back!
And now Makari is back he lives again!
I just wonder where he's been hiding all these years...or is it the same grot.
0:30 -- Came here fur dis. Wuz not disappointed. You gitz is alrite. ("Gobwaz is da best. Gazghul? Never 'eard of 'er!")
I used to have all these 2nd edition codexes, where the heck did I put them I wonder......
Given how much Gorka Morka changed the Orkz lore wise I hope we get an episode on that one day.
I’ll always remember this video because it came out the same day I finally moved out of college.
Hey guys this is a good video YT just suggested you to me (good old algorithm aye). Is this your missus, if so it's great that she's in to your hobby and not only that, it's great to see a lady/woman/female in the hobby.
Ork shootas hit like Bolters are still canon to this day
Omg that book made orks gods on the battle field.
Mount your mobs on bikes and get into the enemies deployment zone in 2nd turn
Ya sure, ya.. you may get them into the enemy deployment zone in turn 2 but there was a chance they'd decide to go for a drive.. round the world. So they'd reach your enemy deployment zone and keep going right off the board.
Nathaniel Schultz it didn't matter. Numbers and flamers.
I grew up playing second edition. It was great fun. This video means I’m now old ...
I remember seeing this and a bunch of other older codices, from both 40k and fantasy, in a second hand book shop back in '08. Spent close to an hour pouring through them, wish I had had the money to buy the lot of them :'(
I could have sworn I saw this second edition codex at a used bookstore.
Epic Streetlight Manifesto shirt! Saw them twice in Vegas.
do waaaargh da Orks, best ork resource ever
The old Storm Boyz design is great lmao
7:07 Well hello to you too, honoured pack brother.
You guys should seriously try to play 2nd it's great. My family and I still play it exclusively
UA-cam compliant UA-camrs.... a rare sight!
Man... this takes me back
We'z need moar Dakka for da' boyz.
Absolutely love this. Hewwo little Dreadnought! *waves*
You guys do the best retro codex reviews. So enjoyable. Hurry up and do Angels of Death. I have it but am too lazy to read it.
that ghazghkull margaret thatcher model reminds me of the real old nagash model for some reason
I loved this. You did a great job, orks orks orks orks!
So the foreshadowing at 4:26 for dark millennium where’s that video at?
"Morka on the Run".......
I just got into 40k and saving up to get myself a imperial knight, but men when I see the old 40k stuff, it feels more honest and more fun to try new things and mix and match stuff, what edition was it when imperial Knights were introduced?
Good Old Days, I used Chimera, a Leman Russ and a Hellhound, totally codex compliant
I imagine that squig in the thumbnail laughs like mutely
one of my first codex's along with the angels of death codex and also gave me an idea to have a deathskull tatoo
You forgot to mention the green version of Kyle from Despicable Me on the cover! That was the most important feature!
Wow i have this... “Zotgrot“? Orc since years and wasn't know that kind of orc he is
'dat's not kaptin badrukk 'dat iz an imposter! 'dat be kaptin zagstruk! ya Gitz!
You guys still rock!
Snipe Is a sister of battle and a wib is a grot so what I’m saying is there is hope for us all. 🙏😉
MAKARI LIVES!
*STOMP STOMP*
So glad Makari is back! Though it's a shame he didn't retain his huge, Kermit the Frog smile. I hope the other named characters end up making comeback with new models. They could fill a similar role to Primarchs, each one of them big and tough, while signifying a specialty of Orks:
-Grotsnik for the Mad Dok medics
-Wazdakka for Speed Freaks
-Nazdreg the fatass for the Mega-Armor Bad Moonz
-Zagstruk for rocket jumpers
-Zodgrod Wortsnagga to buff up the Grots (although it would be better if we could get the Red Gobbo back...)
We could also have Snikrot for sneaky Kommandos, and Tuska for wrecking stuff in melee. Magic could be represented with Zogwort, but maybe Tuska could just have abilities for resisting psyker attacks.
It's been more than a year
Where's the Dark Millennium video?
Shame it wasn't Ere We Go and Freebooterz, the best and most ridiculous army books ever made. Always a good sign when your army list is twice as thick as the core rules
3rd ed codex was much easier to play than the RT stuff, but I did miss the crazier weapons and units!
So...where's the chapter approved for that Dark Millennium box? You planning on doing it in 2019 by chance?
You forgot the splatter cannon:) Plus, love the legendary Monty on the Run music👍🏻
Yeah I have no idea how they skipped over the weapon that keeps ricocheting until it misfires. You can potentially kill everything on the table (including your own army!) on turn one. The chances are lower than winning every lottery on the planet for the next decade, but there's still a chance.
Fond memories of this Codex. Waaaagh!
Streetlight manifesto shirt spotted in the wild
I totally lost it when I heard the Unfortunate demise of makari 🤣
Watch this in '21 with zodgrod and makari laughing
i was not aware I had Goff ork models until now
Squats are back baby!!!leagues go vulcann!!!!
Ah, this Codex was in my very first White Dwarf!
Well I thoroughly enjoyed that.
