Orkz are certainly better adapted for the WH40k setting than humans. Let's face it, they're the only race actually having a good time.

[@meatybtz]

Orks are also the only honest race in the galaxy with zero self-deception. And yes, they are really having a good time. Orks are the only race with "pure" deities because those deities are "primal". The complete lack of soul deception + that primal and uncorrupted nature makes orks entirely immune to Chaos Corruption. Orks cannot even be properly possessed by chaos demons and in fact, orks tend to trap and then feed on them. Once you posses an ork, you can't leave and the "ork collective soul" will eat the demon over time. In fact the potency of the orkoid soul is so great that even a lost fragment of Khane, the eldar war deity, was slowly being devoured and fueling the orks. During warp travel, orks turn off the geller field equiv (or just travel without one) just for giggles and something to break up the boredom of travel. Orks are also the only race the seeds life on dead worlds. Orks can inhabit a barren asteroid and within a short span , that asteroid will start to generate an atmosphere where it can, have fungal plants and animals, etc. Orks is best. Always will be. Da pointy ears and da pinkies ain't got nuffin on da green.

Orks, however don't die. They appear to have a singular soul that just cycles. Think of it as the warp version of their fungal reproductive cycle. They polyp off of Gork and Mork and then when they die instead of getting eaten by warp entities they just go back to Gork and Mork and get recycled. Humans are flung screaming into the warp on death, eldar of all kinds get slurped up by slannesh. Orks go wheeee! Back into the warp and merge back with da big guys. In warp terms, it's closer to being a perpetual than anything else.

[@edwardbryan9501]

If you think about it, the Orks traveling into the Warp would actually be Heaven for them. Khorne surely would be entertained for a long time.

[@Krexel]

Orks do travel through the warp actually. And since they don't have Gellar Fields like the Imperium, the Daemon attacks are just in-flight entertainment

[@Werepie]

Basically what Tuska Demonkilla is up to, he formed a waagh that invaded Khorne's little slice of Chaos, Khorne was so into all the violence that he made a giant coliseum that just throws unending demons at the orks, and revives them when they fall. Both groups are super into it. Basically Orkish Valhalla

[@jenshoffmann2881]

There is the story about an Ork Boss called Tuska Daemon Killa who did exactly that. Imagine an Ork Space Hulk Blasting Metal music and coming up To Cadia from the wrong side... They just let them into the eye of terror shrugging and for the orks it was the best party of all time ending in service to korne... one of the few real happy ends in 40k

[@huntermad5668]

[@nikolaishriver7922]

I wonder if they actually do appease Khorne. A bunch of muscle drones with barely enough cognitive function to find something to fight, is not the same as an intelligent soul CHOOSING to fight and CHOOSING to be brave in the face of impossible odds. That is what feeds Khorne the most: Blood spilled in bravery. Orks just want to beat and get beat and they have no other choice. It's kind of like appreciating a dog for its loyalty, they have no choice, they are bound to the hand that feeds even to the point of self destruction. Its why they can't escape being forced into a life of servitude for people who avoid therapy. Cats will leave their owner, and if they can't they act insane. If a cat loves its owner, that's a compliment, if a dog loves its owner, it means the dog is alive. That's not a particularly praiseworthy accomplishment(Don't tell that person with all the baggage that their "furbaby" kissing them on the mouth with contentment, is not a reflection of their ability to love another being. It's just what they are). I'm sure Orks appease Khorne indirectly by producing a force for intelligent beings to be brave against.

Of course they have potential to become "something" - that something is called a KRORK and it is what the Orks once were during the War in Heaven!

[@dendrien]

Krork is more or less debatable consider they’re incapable to become one even in a war infested world. There’s very little information about Krork other than orcs stems from them and that they existed. In a general setting Orcs wasn’t made to be taken seriously or even written to be something more than what they are. They exist more so to be humorous and basically a big fuck all

As rather than screwing up the current setting why not show basically the end and beginning of the world with the war in heaven.

[@dendrien]

@@JeremyTheBreadKnife i personally find the war in heaven far worse as a overall story than the end times in warhammer. i know the story is mostly a story about the Necrons. however the formula is to, copy paste rather than creative writing. pretty much a compact copy paste with the greek pantheon combined with Christianity but a more grander scale. both inconsistant as a narrative but also created more questions than answer. in short, it is a cool story but not good.

I'm no expert but it probably will. The Boyz reality bending powers come from a collective belief, and whenever they face an obstacle they just find a way to overcome it, if the Orkz find that the Eldar or Tau have some awesome weaponry, there's no way in hell they WOULDN'T replicate or steal some of it. In fact there's even a Story of a Tau Minister or something, trying to make a diplomatic relationship with the Orkz by exchanging weapons... The Orkz turned the weapons back on the Tau

I have been a massive Ork fan for a long time, thanks in no small part to franchises like Warcraft, so I was super ready to hear what you had to say. Good or bad. I understand that while my Boyz in Green are a heck of a lot of fun, I know each faction has aspects that are pretty awesome. Do I wish the Orks could get a few more wins? Always. But I understand that they are one of the more 'Bad' aligned factions so wins for them makes the grimdarkness even darker. Though I do hope my buddy's joke suggestion becomes real. That if Yarrick did really get KIA as is stated (for now) then the Orks plan a massive rush of Terra not to krump it but hold a massive funeral service of their greatest foe, maybe get the Big E to elevate him to a Saint, before blasting back off to go ape on Angron and his for taking out Yarrick.

@@geeljire9247 civil war among krorks would be more devasting then nuklear war. Krorks would go exting or devolve into something even less inteligent then orks just to survive.

Back to your hour video Wes! Love to hear it😂

Fellow 'umans, I think youz should listen ta this humie. Orkz are da best!

[@S.J.Howland]

I really enjoyed the video! I'm currently listening to the Horus Heresy series. But I have to say Eldar are probably my favs.

TAKE THIS XENOS SYMPATHISER AWAY

[@Olimar92]

Favorite Ork Tech? The gun that fires force fields. Why are the Orks the first ones to think about using indestructible energy shields as Ammo? Favorite Ork Lore? The fact that they don't need the Warp. Just get yourself a Weird Boy and have him use Da Fist of Mork, or Foot of Gork. I wonder if one of them Weird Boyz became a Boss.

[@michaelsorensen7567]

My opinion is weird boys are too busy weirding to do enough krumpin' to get to the top.

[@iluvpandas2755]

There was also a human empire separate from the imperium with force field tech. They also worshipped the emperor I think.

Registered Dietitian here! First off, huge fan of the content. You’re easily my favorite 40k KZbinr, and got me into 40k. With that out of the way. Wes, I work at a weight management resort, and work a lot in this particular niche of dietetics. If ever you’re interested, I would be more than happy to share some of my knowledge with you! I have lots of excellent resources, and can try and help make your goal of being a super fit and jacked KZbinr more of a reality. I don’t need payment! I love what I do and am cool offering some of my info pro bono. You provide me with such great 40k content and have brought a lot of laughs and, and yeah. Up to you, I’ll still stick around and watch! Also, I love the deep dives, also the 40k horror stories! I’m sure you have 40,000+ ideas for videos, but I’m working my way through the siege of terra books, and there’s some cool ideas to be had from those books! Maybe a siege of terra deep dive once they finish releasing everything 😎😎😎

[@petsan97]

On the topic of ingenious solutions to problems, I just wanna point to the shokk attack gun. Why worry about penetrating enemy armor when you can just shoot scrap, explosives, squigs and grots straight past it by hurling them through the warp. As a bonus the squigs and grots are driven instantly insane by their exposure to the warp and come out the end even more frenzied than usual, sometimes halfway inside the body of the unfortunate crew.

[@topscrappy1012]

This is inquisitor Colzarious, you shall be executed for heresy.

[@greggonzalez661]

Orks DO NOT waste their time pondering their origins or their futures. Thus, their primal need for waagh needing to satiated is the primary focus of their daily lives.

Aka the perfect existence.

This has got to be one of my fave videos by weshammer. The only thing that would have made it better is Wes's Ork voice.

[@zachg.4251]

my favorite part of 40k lore is when warboss Ghazghkull said "it's krumpin time" and krumped all over the place

[@j.t8529]

Truly a Krump moment right there

[@Hot_Dice]

Oooooh this one’s got layers.

[@SuperEndiku]

Not to quibble but I just finished Dan Abnett's Double Eagle (3rd time reading, one of my favs) and Commander Oskar Viltry is one time where a human fighter finds the love of a woman and it is incredibly touching. All while the planet is facing utter destruction at the hands of a chaos cult. It would be great to have more novels from the perspective of orks but their mercurial nature makes that a real challenge to connect with as a human being. Because they fight for the sake of fighting, there isn't a greater meaning for us to connect with in their stories.

[@GetFwickinWekt]

Ah yes, Inquisitor. This video here.

[@ade5182]

19:48 i like this commissar….

[@reverenddmo8944]

Orks have been my thing since 1st Edition 40k, for the simple reason they were the most fun. There's no illusions about some shiny golden man on a throne a thousand light years away that cares about them, no outright lies from the voices of the Warp that promise one thing then twist it to suit their needs, no silly talk about "the greater good" that achieves nothing for you... you just live your best life as an Ork - you fight, you die, and have a laugh along the way. Who could ask for more?

[@commissaryarrick9670]

This title and video is complete heresy

[@MrTheil]

They are quite literally the happiest faction in 40K out of all things so I’d say that’s a win in my book

[@bonefetcherbrimley7740]

That bit where the ork is born is fascinating.

[@Erebusdidnothingwrongish]

Great video Wes!

[@Pyllymysli]

I'm a O&G player and I definitely know which team I'd like to go to. 😂

[@nathanielcockayne2376]

Love the shirt 40k stories like the pig king. Just about a common factory worker. But so eerie to envision what you're reading. Chilling, pig king is great by the way. Skin man lots of stories of nobody's. You're right all the great ones are of the "great ones" the traitors, the Marines, chaos gods and more. So to listen to the commoners are great love you Wes keep it coming ❤🎉 Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

[@TheHound402]

So here is my pushback: Humanity has, for giant stretches of our time on this Earth, lived in relative misery. The average person has not lived ever so well, and yet, we formed bonds, we fell in love, we prayed, and we believed in something better. Orks are a comically and unnaturally competitive race for whom strength is the only value, and combat the only goal. They do not form friendships, bonds of fellowship, or seek intimacy. They live selfish lives driven only for combat. They are somehow both incredibly self-obsessed and yet utterly focused on furthering their common goal for more carnage at the cost of any individual ork's life. But for a bit, you had me convinced there :)

[@darsoma95]

New WH40k fan. I LOVE the orks! I am all for the shenanigans that they're about, love the goofiness about them, and definitely plan on collecting orks first

A weshammer ork video just dropped?!? It's gonna be a good day boyz!!!

[@junioradult6219]

One day tuska will leave the warp at a level near a krork and his followers prime orks. That would be epic

[@KincaidCalder-vn6bo]

I’ve heard it said that with enough time, he will not only leave the warp, but “paint it green”. I mean, he and his boyz keep their memories after each revival, making them even closer to krorks. In addition, the Beasts (not even krorks) could take on a primarch in battle. If an entire waaagh! of krorks erupted in Khorne’s domain, their is a chance they could win, or at least be released into real space.

[@pedro28303]

Jooo, wes I was just reviewing your battle with major kill, i enjoyed it very much. Actualy i could not care less, Who won because I think your both great and i do enjoy both styles..... Keep up the good work, man

[@weshammer]

Major kill is my boy! Honestly he is a great guy, way friendlier in person than he's competitive demeanor in his videos would have you believe! He's constantly giving me advice and has really helped me a lot when it comes to building my channel

[@moalisiddiqui]

I have found that reading books from the Orkz perspective is such a great palate cleanser from the grimness of the other books based on Space Marines or other factions. The Okrz just want a good scrap, a juicy Squigg, and screaming at the top of their lungs while shooting wildly in the general direction of the enemy.

[@orion0915]

Maybe life would be better if all I ever needed was to get stuck in a fight

[@lunanyx8592]

The Orkz having upward mobility vs many people irl working dead end jobs with no upward mobility.

[@filanfyretracker]

I swear that Orks are the physical embodiment of a 1980s action film. Screaming, muscles, machine guns, missiles, mad max like motor vehicles. I will always love the bit of lore that they can basically make anything work if they believe in it enough, Its like a grimdark peter pan. If you think violent violent thoughts that box of pipes can made into a functional minigun to be mounted on your truck, which you painted red meaning it is automatically like an extra 3000hp and goes faster. Gun probably shoots faster too if you paint it red.
