If you think orks with gork and mork helping them via ghazghknull is scary now, imagine what happens when the krork in trazyns museum runs free or god forbid we get daemons of gork and mork because their psychic avatars got smarter due to the species getting smarter.
orks geting smarter make theyr Power of belive useless because, when you understand How a gun works ALL ork Guns Will became useless because they Will not belive but understand. that count's to tanks,mechs etc of then.
@@samfire3067 the krorks had an understanding scientifically of shit and they got super op shit not only in weapons born from actual understanding in science but also had control over their power of belief. Meaning that yes they are a direct upgrade.
@@dogge4649 nope. The dude is still in stasis in the museum. If he DID get out, it would mean more krorks would appear due to spores that they have biologically, meaning the day that krork comes out is the day the galaxy will have a massive power shift.
I find it funny that everyone goes "the Krork will wake up and they will join the orks and fight the imperium!" And not that the Krork will wake up, look around and go "Bloody Necrons still around!" And just make all orks fight them instead, also they would probably love working with the Eldar as they are both Old Ones creations.
Krork wakes up and turns to look at the eldar “what happened to you?” Eldar turns to look at the orks “same thing that happened to you, universe is crazy man…”
The funny thing is that it's heavily implied the eldar and old ones had a "falling out" and it's believed the eldar backstabbed them in their moment of ultimate weakness to try and take the galaxy for themselves, including from their brothers in arms the krorks.
@@piercethroughheart5700 no it's the war in heaven, more specifically how it ends the old ones as well as the beginning of the necrons turning on the c'tan.
@@guywholikesmemes4993 I know the story but I am talking about Ancient Eldars turning against The Old Ones.. is that really happened? I know that Krorks fought Ancient Eldars..after war in heaven
Then again, necrons have the Celestial Orrery that can literally make stars explode through a press of a button. War in Heavens was some apocalyptic shit.
I don't think krorks are a separate sub-race of orkoids but a stage of maturity. If an ork stays alive and fights for long enough he turns into a krork. The thing is, they die each and every time before becoming too strong. The Beast and his prime-orks were almost there, as they were already like 10 meters tall.
Your right but wrong at the same time,the way krorks were made is basically more so that krorks are the precursors to what orks would become,quite literally describe orks as their devolutioned version of krorks given even then they only became orks because there was no further orders (which is literally the truth since the old ones by the end of their war with the necrons had been taken by the enslavers which were warp anomalies. )so to call it a maturity isn't false but it's wrong given orks can become krorks if they follow the right warboss. A prime example would be that of ghazghoul who is the only ork able to pull off krork leveled feats aside of the beast of course.
@@gruk5319 I'm convinced it's based off the total level of violence in the galaxy. They being a sort of control switch to prevent one species from ruling all and upsetting the balance
The Orks almost returned to their original ancestry during the rein of The Beast. The Orks developed long distance teleportation technology and began using exceptionally eloquent and intelligent diplomats to negotiate surrenders of enemies instead of just blindly crushing opposition. Ghaz’s WAAAGH!! has developed short range teleportation technology, and Ghaz himself is fluent in multiple languages, including high gothic.
I like to think the degeneration of the orks happened because the kroks were super critical of the younger generations of orks and the waagh made it so.
I believe they were engineered this way to make them phase out of existence naturally when the war with the necrons ended. Imagine having this super army and not knowing what to do with them after they served their purpose (like Big E planned to cull the astartes after they served their purpose, allegedly). So they get stronger the harder the fight, but weaker when there's no fight, like orks, that makes them the best weapon possible.
@@SrThanatos010 I can sort of see this but in more of a way of the orks being a rush job more than anything else. The 'termination' clearly hasn't worked as planned but that makes sense if you consider the entire project a bit half baked.
I wonder if most necrons would feel the difference because almost every single necron was being mind controled by the silent king during the war in heaven Though i can see some of the higher ups reacting to them
"Return of the Krorks" Imagine what the Imperiumm would think Edit: it has been 12 days since I posted this and it seems I misspelled "Imperuim" That's fix now Another edit: fixed the misspelled "Imperium". And "Krorks" Thanks, Honest Dude. Truly an honest dude.
This may be controversial but krorks seem like a hybrid between the orks we all know and love and the tau. The borderline Gundam style suits but with spikes and horns, personally I think it's awesome and I hope GW do something of note with them
I fully believe the Beast was a Krork who somehow managed to manifest again in the ork populace. There’s no other explanation I see outside of something completely unknown and new. But just think about it: The Beast managed to create a WAAAAAAAAGH the likes of which the galaxy had never seen. He took on A PRIMARCH, and only died because said primarch is a perpetual and sacrificed himself to destroy it. If the Beast truly was a Krork, and ONE managed to accomplish all of that, imagine what an entire galaxy spanning empire of them was like.
Actually from what I gather, The Beast wasn't a Krork, and was in fact a Demi-Krork, meaning that something even a bit below a Krork was able to, single handedly, give the Imperium a run for it's money.
@@bumblebot2458 And it's so insane cause imagine if Big Ole Ghaz himself was able to reach demi-Krork or even Krork status. And then if he had the intellect to use a Blackstone even if it was inert.. Oh man. 40k lore is so spicy.
Its wonderful to imagine they convey with each other like the orcs in world of warcraft intelligent and a benevolent race. I also like how the power armor they wore looks somewhat similar to the zaku class mobile suit in the gundam franchise.
My headcanon is that Gork and Mork are in fact just two Krorks who entered the Warp and started fighting demons one day in search of a good foight, so they haven't regressed like the others.
These Krork illustrations are fucking awesome. Their battlesuits and weapons remind me of the stuff Doomguy uses in the new games. Imagine an entire horde made of Doomguys. This is why they were able to beat the Necrons.
@@agentc7020 Lore does not say that. The Krork and Eldar together were roughly on par with the Necron. And a Necron soldier isn’t gonna tear apart an Imperial Knight.
@@MorallyDubiousFrog A basic Necron soldier can punch through the toguest of armors of the imperium with their guns, and they had those kinds of soldiers and more by the trillions, the Necrons took on the Krorks because they had the firepower and numbers to do so, just as they would *tear* apart Imperial knights in the same situation, a Krork is the same height as a Knight, now give that size power armor and you've got a way more responsive Knight with the firepower to back that up, in a 1v1 the Knight would be very hard pressed to win.
@@agentc7020 One Krork we saw was the size of a knight. We have no way of knowing how big they are on average. The Necron warriors are cannon fodder. Immortals are their main actual soldiers. Your average Krork and Eldar warrior was most likely on par with them. The Krork and Eldar lost to the Necron You have no idea what kind of firepower or responsiveness Krork power armor has, so you have no idea how they would fare against a knight.
Worst case scenario is the tomb Krork gets loose but its spores merge with Orkoid spores, causing either the Orkz to become Krorkz or making a hybrid between both. Da Orkz of Octavius are on their way to turning back into Krorks by just constant fighting iirc. Not true Krork but maybe their genes will mould into something about on par or similar.
If orks had sufficiently powerful enemies to fight, I believe they would become krork as they are still the exact same species. They were Krorks during the war in heaven which was between literal gods. Maybe they become krorks again when the Tyranids invade in greater numbers or the necrons all awaken and are united.
The closest thing the modern imperium has seen to a Krork was during the War of the Beast, as the prime orkz, the eponymous "Beasts" were extremely large, much more so than the average ork. They also spoke fluent low gothic and were capable of holding a steady polite conversation. My theory is that the Krorks return would require a massive amount of orkz in a smaller area, and a massive war, as a massive war would require strict leadership and brainpower. As such the orkz would collectively agree that they need to be bigger, stronger, and smarter in order to effectively combat their foes, likely leading to a regression to a more Krork-like state, if not a full regression
I thought the Old Ones made them to combat that other weird parasite species that came out of the warp. I'd like to see some storyline where some really smart Ork Warboss has enough old Krork bloodline in him to remember have an inclination of his people saving the universe before and end up helping to do it agian.
If GW wanted to "primaris" the orks, they'd bring back the Krorks as some sort of genetic resurgence caused by the return of the Silent King or something. But GW can't step away from the Space Marines long enough to do any other faction justice, and I say that as a primarily Space Marine Player
The thing about orks tho is that if they fight a stong enough enemy they will turn back into krorks since during the horus heresy a few demi krorks had formed and the orks were documented to have begun agriculture and politics during the horus heresy they literally nerfed them selves so they would be allow to keep fighting without wiping out the entire galaxy
Orks grow due to the toughness of the battles they fight in. So, unless you can find some Boyz that are having fist fights with Tyranid Hive Fleets, I doubt any Krorks will grow from the 41st Millennium's stock of Orks.
So the thing is that when I hear “as big as a dreadnought” for orks it isn’t actually anything that impressive as there have been several warbosses that size in the current setting. Ghazgskull Nazdreg Snagrod (he didn’t even wear armor and his second in command was almost as big, in power armor) Klawjaw (no official size but a def dread noticed how he was at eye level) Warboss of octarius
Ghazgskull is supposed to be the biggest of them all and I think his pwer armor is meant to be more form fitting than one that makes him all that much bigger however it probably does increase his size
My favorite fan theory is that they species-wide existentialism, regarding what their true purpose actually was, manifested in their psychic belief powers, making their thoughts of “we were created to be, and are nothing more than, living weapons who enact constant war” a reality.
It would be awesome to see krorks again. It also just makes sense for the lore. Orks takes what’s around them and at that time it was just the necrons, so of course their tech was more advanced. Since then they have just degraded by fighting each other and the imperium who are so far behind technologically. It would also be great if those orks fighting in Khornes real turn into krorks. They don’t need to get out, but it would be cool if there’s mentioned some krork sized orks with demonic armor at some point
I like to think that if Krorks did comeback they would be a bit horrified. Just imagine waking up a few million years in the future and humanity is now a bunch of astralopithecs.
I am pretty sure the Beast reign and Gazkull's waagh show us that the mere existence of a big enough ork in the population causes the entire empire to rapidly develop and evolve. During Beast's crusade orks had managed to actually get diplomatic and invent long-range teleportation. If we were to see at least one krork pop up, the entire ork race would soon follow.
The chilling thing is that it probably means that when the Krorks were created, _violence may have been somehow more ubiquitous than during the ever-warring 41th millennium,_ as the orks devolved and didn't re-evolve into Krorks yet. Maybe there was some peaceful lull during the millions of years between the two 😴
If Trazyn's krork was freed, it would be followed by every ork due to its size. And if every ork is following that krork, it would get even larger, smarter, and stronger. Ork Emperor anyone?
Ork: "Oy, I see Space Marines! Dakka 'em! Krork: "My word, are those genetically modified humans cladded in ceramite plating? They seem unsettled by our presence. Shall we introduce ourselves, gentlemen?
Something tells me Korks will be the ultimate counter for Tyranids. Because the currently the necrons (or at least the silent king) knows very well that the Tyranids threat is very real and Korks might be the ultimate counter to them!
I seem to remember the old lore was that in their final form Gretchin were actually the toughest, biggest and smartest of the Ork race, but they had to eat a particular mushroom to undergo the transformation from their small stage The Orks eventually got rid of all the mushrooms and Gretchin became what they are today.
I think Ghazghull is actually bigger than an Imperial Dreadnought. In the novella Chains of Golgotha, Yarrik is in battle with orks. Huge silhouettes of battling Titans can be seen through the fog of war, when Yarrik notices a sudden palpable change on the battlefield. The orks change across the battlefield and become more dangerous. Yarrik sees something huge pounding onto the battlefield. It says "at first he thought it could be an Astartes Dreadnought, but then he realised it couldn't be -- it was TOO BIG!"
I think a single Kork leading a Ork warband can take down atleast half the Imperium and then some. Not cause how powerful it is, but because how slow the Imperium might be to combat it.
It’s honestly a fascinating subject. Thinking about Kroks coming back…..but the Adeptus Mechanicus could possibly get their hands on Krork tech, and reverse engineer it to fit the imperium.
Id love a story where the chaos god tzzynch converts some orks to his forces of chaos and harnesses the ork psychic powers and teaches them how to use the power of belief they hold and they start to believe they could be krorks again becoming more and more powerful the more they believe untill they become each ork as powerful as gork and mork

The thing about orks tho is that if they fight a stong enough enemy they will turn back into krorks since during the horus heresy a few demi krorks had formed and the orks were documented to have begun agriculture and politics during the horus heresy they literally nerfed them selves so they would be allow to keep fighting without wiping out the entire galaxy
Orks grow due to the toughness of the battles they fight in. So, unless you can find some Boyz that are having fist fights with Tyranid Hive Fleets, I doubt any Krorks will grow from the 41st Millennium's stock of Orks.
Krorks looking like an army of Zakus. I like it.
Ok, but that art is great, i love that they kind of look like Gundams/robot Onis. They look so freaking cool.
When a Space Marine has a Heretical one-night stand with an Ork, this is what you get
so old orks are walking zakus. maybe in the future the modern ork can evolve into a gouf
fk Darktide, I need a game playing as these badasses in a co-op horde style.
Getting serious Principality of Zeon mobile suit vibes from those power armors. Me likey.
korks look like they didn't skip leg day
So the thing is that when I hear “as big as a dreadnought” for orks it isn’t actually anything that impressive as there have been several warbosses that size in the current setting.
Ghazgskull
Nazdreg
Snagrod (he didn’t even wear armor and his second in command was almost as big, in power armor)
Klawjaw (no official size but a def dread noticed how he was at eye level)
Warboss of octarius
Ghazgskull is supposed to be the biggest of them all and I think his pwer armor is meant to be more form fitting than one that makes him all that much bigger however it probably does increase his size
Yes but those are warbosses (named warbosses) the average krok is just has big if not bigger than a dreadnought
Yeah, I think the beast (not a full krork) stood around vulkan’s size. So about 12-14 meters
Would be great if the warp spews out a krork battle fleet out on the dark imperium , from millions of years ago ...be cool as fuck.
My favorite fan theory is that they species-wide existentialism, regarding what their true purpose actually was, manifested in their psychic belief powers, making their thoughts of “we were created to be, and are nothing more than, living weapons who enact constant war” a reality.
God those Orcs are SO much cooler than the modern day orcs
Amazing Lost Technology of Ork during war on Heaven.
I am getting Doom-Marine vibes from that armor.
It would be awesome to see krorks again. It also just makes sense for the lore. Orks takes what’s around them and at that time it was just the necrons, so of course their tech was more advanced. Since then they have just degraded by fighting each other and the imperium who are so far behind technologically. It would also be great if those orks fighting in Khornes real turn into krorks. They don’t need to get out, but it would be cool if there’s mentioned some krork sized orks with demonic armor at some point
Imagine if the Krork got out and went to his Ork brethren making the re evolve back into krorks that kinda scary
A man can dream , Imagine an alliance...
I like to think that if Krorks did comeback they would be a bit horrified.
Just imagine waking up a few million years in the future and humanity is now a bunch of astralopithecs.
I am pretty sure the Beast reign and Gazkull's waagh show us that the mere existence of a big enough ork in the population causes the entire empire to rapidly develop and evolve. During Beast's crusade orks had managed to actually get diplomatic and invent long-range teleportation. If we were to see at least one krork pop up, the entire ork race would soon follow.
Then the necrons went from Lovecraftian horrors to Space Egyptians and......... well Matt Ward.
Zaku vibes here
The beast: "am I a joke to you?"
Wagggghhhh brother
They look like those cyclops mechs from Gundam and I love it.
The chilling thing is that it probably means that when the Krorks were created, _violence may have been somehow more ubiquitous than during the ever-warring 41th millennium,_ as the orks devolved and didn't re-evolve into Krorks yet. Maybe there was some peaceful lull during the millions of years between the two 😴
If Trazyn's krork was freed, it would be followed by every ork due to its size. And if every ork is following that krork, it would get even larger, smarter, and stronger.
Ork Emperor anyone?
A Krork all I see is a damn MS-06 Zaku II
Ork: "Oy, I see Space Marines! Dakka 'em!
Krork: "My word, are those genetically modified humans cladded in ceramite plating? They seem unsettled by our presence. Shall we introduce ourselves, gentlemen?
Ork zaku: This is no ork my boy, no ork 😂
Something tells me Korks will be the ultimate counter for Tyranids. Because the currently the necrons (or at least the silent king) knows very well that the Tyranids threat is very real and Korks might be the ultimate counter to them!
Love how the middle few krork images looked like Gundam lol
I seem to remember the old lore was that in their final form Gretchin were actually the toughest, biggest and smartest of the Ork race, but they had to eat a particular mushroom to undergo the transformation from their small stage
The Orks eventually got rid of all the mushrooms and Gretchin became what they are today.
Galaxy sized squiggoth?
I think Ghazghull is actually bigger than an Imperial Dreadnought. In the novella Chains of Golgotha, Yarrik is in battle with orks. Huge silhouettes of battling Titans can be seen through the fog of war, when Yarrik notices a sudden palpable change on the battlefield. The orks change across the battlefield and become more dangerous.
Yarrik sees something huge pounding onto the battlefield. It says "at first he thought it could be an Astartes Dreadnought, but then he realised it couldn't be -- it was TOO BIG!"
If Orks become Krorks, everyone dies.
"More advanced than the Imperium's"
That's a pretty low bar.
Granted, there ARE lower bars but this is still a low bar.
It would be amazing to see a Krork character useable in the tabletop
I'd spend so much money if they got models for them..
Gundam: The Kroks
Lots of people don't understand the power of belief. Could you talk about how belief affects the warp And how races Like elves manifest gods.
Inquisitor kryptmann : Leviathan go brrr
A lot of their armor gives off Zeon mobile suite vibes.
Ere We Go, 'Ere We Go, 'Ere We Go! again...
I sholdda 'ave known, sholdda 'ave known, sholdda 'ave known,
But 'ere we go again
"Angron sir, you know that Krork that's hunting you?"
"You mean the Ork warboss?"
".........no"
Some of the old Krork armour feels like a mix of Terminator & Tau battlesuit armour. Aesthetically at least.
I think a single Kork leading a Ork warband can take down atleast half the Imperium and then some. Not cause how powerful it is, but because how slow the Imperium might be to combat it.
It’s honestly a fascinating subject. Thinking about Kroks coming back…..but the Adeptus Mechanicus could possibly get their hands on Krork tech, and reverse engineer it to fit the imperium.
Id love a story where the chaos god tzzynch converts some orks to his forces of chaos and harnesses the ork psychic powers and teaches them how to use the power of belief they hold and they start to believe they could be krorks again becoming more and more powerful the more they believe untill they become each ork as powerful as gork and mork
The legally distinct zakurk power armor
Now, imagine if Tuska demon killa and Gaz became krorks and the one in Trazyns collection escaped.
Dude they got Zaku's, even a Char custom with the horn.
