I had a similar idea to Smelt-Rats. While not human, they were originally of terran origins (like humans) and their intelligence was the result of mechanicus tampering. They’d not be mutant humans, but they also wouldn’t be xenos. Aka Space Skaven!
orks are actual kind of smart plus they already take slaves anyway, this doesnt even need to be a home brew this would probably just happen on an ork infested tau world if they couldnt clear it, i dont know the book but there was an instance of space marines finding human breading farms and they were all docile and unable to communicate due to being born in captivety
That’s the War of the Beast series where the Beast Ork made every Ork across the galaxy way more intelligent and powerful. I actually had a 2-3 minute section where I cross referenced my homebrew with existing material to add validity to it but felt it killed the pacing so I ended up cutting it. But yes the War of the Beast books was one such influence. I also agree it’s a possibility but I felt it added more Grimdark to it if the Tau did it to themselves by trying to help “civilize” the Orks.
They were up there for options i was considering, cause funny enough i figure it out the same time you guys do lol. Create the goals and cross reference it with what I think fits. The Jokaero were an option but I think their methods mostly fall into being engineers and ranged weapon fighters. Plus they have one model and wouldn’t fit being made into a fully army, so that was another tick against them.
Ironically enough that’s literally the bestmen 😂 savage humans who have devolved by chaos into a new race though in some version any creature can become a bestmen eldar tau ETC thanks to the tzzangor curse . So yea if bestmen actually got love from GW even if just warhemmer fantasy then can actually have been a very scary enemy to fight
How to exactly does this version of the Highly Apes compared to the Beastmen in the 40k setting? And there are already Abhumans that have an Ape-like appearance and existence to them as well as others that are more like pre-evolved human Cave Men.
Loved that you ended up using orks for this homebrew, my mind initially went to Jokaero.
Also loved the vid
Thanks for the kind words, and yeah the Jokaero were a thought in my head originally, but I felt Orks fit so much better. Plus Ork is Best! lol
RETURN TO MONKE! Beastmen are a really good fit. I can also imagine exadite eldari having good mounts.
As a meme once said “here’s where I’d put my Exodite army…IF I HAD ONE!!”
Taht and Jokaero

Did you forget Jokaero exist?
Funn idea though to use Orks for this project.

I think that, if the empire should find such a planet, their only viable option would be....EXTERMINATUS !
The only response I expect from a loyal imperial citizen
You should do the Helghast next.
I want my cookie…
