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
Thanks for your insight, that really swayed my opinon on the matter.
Your 40k stuff is AMAZING. Do something interesting like Sisters of Battle or story of the Eldar and Slaneesh
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.
Luetin09 I honestly don’t care which topic you do. Your 40k lore videos are the best on RUclips. Keep them coming!

@@SamueL-td7fb And he regretted it ever since. Now he cant get rid of the damn hooting howling green skinned baboons.
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.
Orks just wanna have funnnn!

Ork strategy: find out how many soldiers the enemy has, then reduce that number to zero.
Too many steps. Just fight
@@ripmadhatter4948 simply i see i kill “friendly fire is on”
The Tyranids basically use the same strategy.
Nah, Ork strategy is: WAAAAGH!
strategy that sounds like a humie idea.
“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
Or is it comedy gold, then you burst into laughter.
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.

I love that the giant inter-Ork war that toppled the Blood Axes dominance was known as "The big party". You really can't help but love the Orks
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
I’m about to take the plunge and they may be my faction
@@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.
My Morks & Mindies tattoo endorses this tattoo.
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!

I mean technically they are the only ones winning in 40k because fighting is all they live for xD
In the words of Trazyn, "Nothing in the whole galaxy is as dangerous as an ork having fun."
Of course, they leave nothing for him to steal!
My favorite 40k character commenting on my favorite 40k faction. Nice.
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 by modern internet standards.. 100% memeable
I bet orcs and tyranids have a fun time when fighting eachother, never ending war for the orcs, never ending biomass for the tyranids
@Liam Hagenson that sounds awesome! Is that story from a book?
@Liam Hagenson this lore is something ..
.... 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.....
@@Da_Shark or just collect the energy from the nearby sun. Easier than collecting body heat from a world conflict
@@sportyeight7769 lol
_>Trick orks that the emperor can regenerate from any wound instantly_
_>Ork magic_
_>The emperor returns_
*_>It's crusade time heretics_*
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
Not to mention that orks tend to forget stuff and return to their state of "we'z da orks 'n we' z da best!"
@@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.
O.O
@@mobiuscoreindustries q
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 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.
@@Nempo13 Thanks for explaining, I know some of this, but most of this was pleasently suprising
@@jessebullard7880 insane that Google will translate this
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
It would still work because the ork believes it is a mighty axe
Then the ork spontaneously blows up. Peak Warhammer comedy

Reviewer: Is it a bug or a feature?
Developer: *headbutts*
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.

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.
And 40k Orks have formed small interstellar empires. Mosrly by accident but one is actually according to lore strangely by design.

Who have a love hate relationship with tyrannids
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 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.

He really seems authoritative
Why I only watch him when it comes to lore
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.
Your get green mushrooms loads of different shades. They don't have chlorophyll in them, there is no lore about them having it.
In real life fungi don't have chlorophyl.
In real life fungi don't have arms, legs and don't swing around axes and guns either.
@@lemons1559 not yet
@@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**
It would be like trying to put solar panels on an electric car imo, just a waste of time with a negligible impact
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.

"Eyy humie ya did nicely dis last Waagh seeya next week"
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.
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.

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
Now I'm imagining a giant patch of Lichen suddenly erupting into a mob of Orks on an Agri World someplace.

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.

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.

You forgot one crucial detail about the Goffs: they're _very_ big on rock-and-roll.
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?

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".

*Just a little bit.*
You dont say
I would describe Orks as Municipal Waste or Suicidal Tendencies...
he aint lying
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! 🤣🤣🤣

*Ork buying stuff at a shop.
"I'm sorry sir, that's not enough."
*Ork punches out cashier and rips out their teeth
"Dis enuf?"
"Yesh, zat'sh enuf..."
Omg I love this
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?
@@aecides3203 Orks have an odd moral code
@@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
@@aecides3203 Especially if the customer ork is bigger &/or greener than the shopkeep ork, I'm sure that's exactly how that would happen
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)
It's real, they believe it is the sound that kills you
MOAR DAKKA
No, the gun still needs bullets. Waagh energy has been soft-retconned into being more like a grease then a mind-over-matter thing.
Orks are proof the Old Ones have a sense of humor.
Orks: winning a battle? It’s a good fight.
Losing a battle? It’s a good fight.
Dying in battle? It's a good fight

Correction "Da Orks"

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.
i love how easily hyped the orcs can be, especialy if they have a an inteligent orc as leader... something new for them
“Don’t over think it” - most accurate and succinct description of Orks.
Don’t think.
"The Orks worship two gods.
One is brutal and cunning.
The other one is cunning and brutal."
ROTFL!
its actually "Brutal but Cunning" and "Cunning but Brutal"
Or in the Fantasy, Gork who is cunningly brutal and Mork who is brutally cunning
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
Orks remind me a lot of Angry Bird's Pigs, they're innovative but everything they make is either extremely haphazard, self-destructive or both.
You missed out on the opportunity to say "orkmentation" instead of "augmentation" and I will never forgive you for this.
I thought he was saying orkmentation the whole time
"A large scale intelligence gathering. Ork style. Leaving millions dead and burning cities in it's wake." That gave me a good chuckle.
WE ORK'Z 'AVE LOTZA CUNNIN'😎
We called it the War of Armageddon. The Orks called it reconnaissance.
Whoever came up with the origins, reproduction, and propagation of Orks in the Warhammer universe is genius. Most logical Ork lore ever, in any genre.
No joke. These guys are hilarious but fucking horrifying to think of ever existing.
Y'all are a bunch of geeks. Do something productive.
@@pantherowow77 Yeah like you watching Warhammer videos, you’re certainly an inspiration.
@@thepowerofIandI I specifically came here just to make fun of you nerds and guess what, I'm not disappointed lol
@@pantherowow77 What a productive use of your time.
I'm 100% new to the 40K universe, this is probably the 5th video of yours I've watched.
Great content. Easy to understand as a newcomer. Ty!
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.
@@bigvoiceguy Well you know...
if you believe it's canon then it's canon
Let it sink in that in the 40k universe, the comic relief are unironically the most tolerant of other religions
@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.
Is comic relief usually bigoted? And also, yeah that's kinda wack
Im more concerned that your use of the term "comic relief" is true
@@ConfusedLemons Quite often, but less than your typical Christian zealot .
I love the theory that the Orks are keeping the Emperor alive lmao
Well, the Emperor survives in psyke energy, a constant flow of that comming from one of the most psyke heavy wielder races makes all the sense.
Hahaha thats mad funny
Personally I think it's a combination of human belief and Ork belief keeping him alive, like 80% human 10% Ork and 10% every other race
@@MagikarpMan Flip the ork and human percentages
@@joonapukarinen1153 no chance, trillions of humans across the galaxy literally worship the emperor as a god
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
This is why I love playing Orks. Everyone else is struggling for dominance and survival, and we're just out here having a zoggin' good time.
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
And their limbs goes off, heads explode.
i need a movie of that!
Thats ridiculous. But I believe that because orks
@Oliver McGrath Your comment has been reported to the inquisition for heresy.
@Oliver McGrath fuck.
Orks are not evil. They are more akin to a force of nature. Would you call a hurricane or a flood "evil"?
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.
Who ever created them sure as hell was...
@@craigore2011 Considering what they were created to fight, I'd say the Old Ones were more desperate than evil
craigore2011 or, in the words of a certain chair-bound skeleton boi with a text to speech device, "they forgot to install an off switch"
YEAH CUZ HURRICANE NO CHALANGE ME FOR BOSS
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.

When you think about it the orks are the fairest society in 40k. If you want something take it, if you want respect earn it. Like the orks are fair man

I just wanna say I truly appreciate your time and effort that you put into these lore videos.I am very new to war hammer And although I do not actively play the game the story behind everything is really amazing.
"This sticker adds 100HP" and it actually works for Orks.
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
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.
"You're making plasma fire from a metal pole? Sounds like heresy to me."
Yeah, Tau have somehow reverse engineered ork tech.
Ork tech works as long as orks are around, the higher the tech level, the more orks you need to have.
Maybe they believe enough....
Because the orks believe the hunters can use them
3 years later.. and this still my favorite!! please we need mor Orki sstuff
This is so detailed, I love that you made this for a Dawn of War/Digital fan.
"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..

@@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.

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.
