You know honestly being an ork Mek seems like one of the best jobs in 40K. You get to build guns bombs and giant robots all the time, and you never have to measure anything you just eyeball it and it works.

[@PodreyJenkin138]

Well to be fair we do hear about how often it doesn't "just work" for orks in a lot of novels, either the thing just falls apart while they build it, or it works but blows up randomly one day, or it works until some beaky gits come around and damage the thing and then it blows up on itself Orks have always had this duel nature to them, being the source of their own failure and holding themselves back constantly While also their innate cheat code abilities are the main reason for their success since without them they would be basically savage orks stuck on any planet they are brought too But when it comes to ork engineering trial and error is the method and it's important to show the error part

[@Koraxbear]

My Ork Mek had issues in a Rogue Trader campaign when he tried to patch the holes in the hull using just nets, Humies don't believe! Or that time when he painted half the ship Red and the captain forbade him from painting the other half, the tech priests could not figure out why one side was trying to go faster than the other.....

Orks also have some of the most “realistic” designs for their aircraft too. I guess insanity does loop back around to common sense eventually.

[@internetzenmaster8952]

It gets worse when you realize that even if you take out an Ork titan's legs... it's still basically a viable (if slightly tilted) gun platform. Can't say that for the other factions titans. Take out the leg of a Imperial/Eldar/Tau-equivalent, that thing is faceplanting in the ground and effectively out of the battle.

You know, about Krorks... just imagine that the level the Orks reach after hitting Mega Gargants is that instead of their gear getting bigger they start to get cleverer AND stronger physically. The Waaugh has gotten so powerful that while the tech peaks, the Orks themselves evolve past it and an army of Krorks is more dangerous than a Mega Gargant ever could.

[@randyruger9063]

In my mind, the old ones created the Orks in a moment of desperation. They needed soldiers in a hurry to fight the war in heaven and didn't have the luxury of long term consideration. The Orks (and especially their predecessors) have every perfect trait for war, but nothing at all for peacetime. Compare this to the other main old ones creation, the Eldar. They were created for more enlightened purposes. In both the cases of the Orks and the Eldar, neither were meant to develop on their own without the old ones guidance.

I always found the Mekboy gargant to be the most hilarious to use on the battlefield, though obviously, the lack of either a gutbuster or snapper (yes, those were the names of the underbelly guns back in titan legions) was limiting, watching an entire enemy formation go splat when it's kustom shield finally went nova was just great.

My personal theory is that Kork is the fusion of Gork and Mork. Because only the orks would name themself after their god. The Eldar must have broken him in 2 during or after the war in heaven which weakened the orks.

[@Triplitz88]

I like this one. It makes sense that the old ones would have put some sort of safety measure in place. Maybe an avatar of Gork and an Avatar of Mork need to both exist or maybe there needs to be enough fighting going on in the galaxy. Otherwise the Orks become capped so they don't overrun the whole damned thing.
