ORKS 101: THE SMARTEST FACTION? | Warhammer 40k Lore Explained For Beginners |

In an odd twist of fate the legion has grown to the point that there are telegram scam bots infesting the comments on every video we upload. Monkeys paw and all that. I am working diligently to try and purge as many as possible but it's a game of whack a mole unfortunately new accounts keep popping up. For your own safety please please please do not click on any telegram giveaways in the comments. Nothing of the sort is being run at the moment and if I was it would be explicitly mentioned in the video with detailed instructions. Stay safe friends

In case your curious about the tomato thing you mentioned its so that the tomato plant does not waste energy on supporting itself and can invest more in the fruit.

[@LabTech41]

Even the big channels have those things, and there's really not much you can do to stop it, because it costs nothing to make a new scam account. You just need to ban it for commercial spam and move on, because those things run as farms from god knows where. Ironically, they're a lot like the Orks, you'd have to glass the internet to be rid of them. Fortunately, once you've had your first one pop up in your thread, they all largely look the same, and it's real easy to develop an eye for it. It's almost always the channel image and some version of the name with a bunch of numbers or letters or little decorative emogi things.

Finding somebody you enjoy share the lore with goes a long way in interest when theres so much damn lore to begin with lol

[@joeljohnston3390]

Also ghaz didn’t just like compliment yarrick. It’s emphasized that ghaz spoke perfect high gothic and said “‘A great fight,’ he said. He extended a huge, clawed finger and tapped me once on the chest. ‘My best enemy.’ He stepped aside and gestured to the ramp. ‘Go to Armageddon,’ he said. ‘Make ready for the greatest fight.” And yarrick says of all the scars he has. Nothing scared him as much as an ork speaking high gothic

"The Orks are the pinnacle of creation. For them, the great struggle is won. They have evolved a society which knows no stress or angst. Who are we to judge them? We Eldar who have failed, or the Humans, on the road to ruin in their turn? And why? Because we sought answers to questions that an Ork wouldn't even bother to ask! We see a culture that is strong and despise it as crude." - Eldar philosopher Uthan the Perverse's thoughts on the Orks

[@AsuraBoss]

I like the one where an Ork warship broke down mid transit to another world, so the Orks all hopped out to get working on repairs. Another Ork warship pulls up, and their crew hops out dressed in their own space suits. They go up to the first crew and they’re like “Lads, you ain’t got space suits on? You can survive out here without one.” And then the entirety of the first crew immediately decompressed and died because they became aware they were supposed to be dead from this.

Concerning Yarrick, I like to believe that Yarrick is cunning and brutal enough to have spread the rumor that Angron killed him knowing it would agro Ghaz, like how the empire detoured the tyranids into the Orks, and he is waiting to reveal himself later. Would add more to the story, allow GW to write Yarrick back in for fan appeal,would bump both characters myths, and doesn't do so by making Angron a chump because from his perspective he wouldn't even know who these two are and as a khornate he wouldn't even be pissed. It would be a khornate dream, endless blood and skulls coming to him like uber eats for daemons. My dream end to this would be the lion having a serious duel with Angron and ghaz comes out of nowhere with a chair like the wwe to body Angron for Yarrick

[@robbobrobertson5648]

54:10 Orks are the most serious and dedicated roleplayer's in the Warhammer 40K universe. That's the reason why that worked or why they died after the guards made shooting noises. Everything and everyone has to bend to their RP rules. That's at least the explanation I'm going with from now on.

There was a 40k story when Orks did team up with IG. During a siege of a hive city an orc charges through weapons fire and saves a human child. The imperial guard soldiers that witnessed this was shocked and one asked, "Did you see that?" To which their officer or commisar replied, "no, and neither did you!" "Yes sir."

I love the fact that the Bad Moons klan are the wealthiest klan as they have a mutation that makes their teeth regrow faster. The other Orky klans don't mind this however as they know if they need teeth they can always kick a Bad Moon Ork's head in like a living piggy bank and get all the cash they need.

I love the knife eared bastards.

[@coreybrown355]

One of my favourite stories about the pros is when some guardsmen were holding out against the orks and they ran out of ammo and they just started saying bang and the orks fell dead because they believed they had ammo until some orks didn’t fall and the guardsmen heard them saying “I’m a tank, I’m a tank, I’m a tank”.

Keeping in theme with purple being the sneakiest color. The Tau stealth battle suits’ box art showed them as purple (I think now their box art is white though)

[@Reddotzebra]

My headcanon is that the Krork were made after the Eldar. Just think about it, the Eldar needed to couch the creation of their gods in a ton of super confusing mysticism, despite basically making them to be psychic appliances to do stuff for them, and their gods got absolutely wrecked by just ONE chaos god. The Krork gods have a super easy to understand legend about them, and they're not just still around, but have their own warp domain despite four warp gods being on the scene. The Eldar is the needlessly overengineered, expensive, fiddly solution. The Krork is the superior next generation replacement.

[@Yujifanik]

All things considered, that's usually how desperate wars turn out-ish.

[@maximmachinegun7206]

The eldar probs evolved on their own and already formed their pantheon when the war in heaven started, with the Old Ones grabbing em and then modifying them for war. Krorks would be the specially engineered war species aomed specifically at smashing the necrons. Them devolving into the orks may be a fail safe by the Old Ones.

[@theodorecyngiser2841]

The sword logic comparison only gets stronger when you mentioned the war moons. The Hive in destiny (primary followers of the sword logic) also have war moons. They are usually made by the brood of Xivu Arath, the Hive god of war. Basically, when one of Xivu’s army is done conquering a system, they will begin the process of slowly corrupting and hollowing out the moons in the system by using some rituals to open portals to the ascendant plane (honestly, just a much more quite warp) and in the process just wind up destroying any coherent concept of reality under the surface of these moons (bottomless pits, shifting labyrinths, etc.). Once the process is completed, the moons will be detached from their orbits, and pulled into the ascendant plane, only to be pulled back out again in orbit around the next planet the Hive plan to raze. Usually, the war moons just serve as a base of operations, but they have from time to time been used as actual weapons, including one time in the books of sorrow when Xivu was loosing a friendly fight with her brother, Oryx. Unwilling to accept defeat (as is the nature of all hive who follow the sword logic), Xivu instead decided to drop a war moon onto the planet they where fighting on. Oryx would describe this act as “a waste of a moon”, but would ultimately express gratitude towards his sister for helping him learn how to protect himself from planetary annihilation. Honestly, with just a tiny bit of context changes, this entire story could fit right in with the usual Ork shenanigans.

[@cheeseninja1115]

If you ever do a Tau video, you should do one on the Farsight Enclave. It's quite the interesting offshoot of the main faction that some people consider better than the base Tau Empire.

Pretty much all Ork science works on Todd Howard rules, part actual science basics, with the rest filled out with “It just works.” And the whole Yarrick situation is both awesome and hilarious.

Ok here me out. In this episode I have learned quite a few things and I promise they all come to a point... 1. Gaz is basically heading to be as powerful as the beast, BUT he is actually 1 Orc. 2. Yerik(I think that's how it's spelled?) Was a hard fighter and gaz used him as an XP farm. 3. Orc gods are real in the warp. 4. Yerik is most likely dead at the hand of Taco Bell AAngry Sauce. 5. Yerik's soul most likely is still in the warp. Ok so here's where the pieces come together and fire from the headcanon... Sin the power of orcs comes from belief and manifesting what they believe true, couldn't there be a situation wjere the soul of Yerik jas an encounter with the Orc gods in the warp, word gets routed to Gaz that the found a competitor. Gaz begins speeding straight in whatever direction his "FleEt" is facing(because of course that's the right way) and because his WAAAGH believes it, they could "resurrect" him out of sheer will of belief?

you guys had me smiling from beginning to end. Keep up the amazing work!!

[@bm1747]

The Harlequins neutralize the Ork threat by introducing them to (brutal but ultimately harmless) professional wrestling.

[@SpaceHov]

God it'd be so great to see Angron vs the orcs, see him absolutely tear Ghaz into small pieces, which will just be added to other orcs and create a bunch of mini Ghaz's

[@BofaDeez77781]

"I'm a tank, I'm a tank, I'm a tank, I'm a tank" makes me smile every time i think about it

[@noinfofoyou2452]

I like the theory that the eldar betrayed the krorks so badly they devolved.

[@jahrusalem3658]

Not really. The Krorks devolved because there wasn't enough war to sustain their forms, so they turned into Orks. That's why if an Ork were to be exposed to enough hardcore war, he would eventually turn into a Krork.

[@Yujifanik]

​@@jahrusalem3658 considering the War In Heaven. It actually makes more sense.

[@Earthenfist]

I would LOVE to see some stuff about the lore behind the individual units for Orks. I think it would work better for the Orks than others, because their units are more like, smaller tribal sub-factions than others, and so the individual cultures of them (along with the overall Kulturs of the Orks) have some lore behind them. Like the Burnaboyz with their cutting torch things, Tankbustas, SQUIGS are a big one that I'd like to see more about... Their propensity for looting stuff from other factions and maybe a little about how that ties into tabletop stuff (I know you talk more lore, but Orks have some FUN game stuff).

[@JL-vt5uo]

Would really love a deep dive on the Grey Knights

[@prknight0100]

Absolutely love the warhammer 40k content you are coming out with. It's a fun way to learn more about the different factions and lore.

[@RaccoonKing1676]

What if ghazghkull was so mad that angron killed commissar yarrick that he teamed up with the blood angels salamanders iron fists and ultramarines and they all used the waaagh energy to just absolutely annihilate angron and his forces?

[@L3FT2BURN]

My favorite thing about that guardmen mimicking gun sounds story is that it sounds like the kind of folk story guardsmen would tell each other around a campfire

[@LukeCartner]

Not sure if the orkz are the happiest faction, nuggles deamon are pretty happy

[@AlriikRidesAgain]

I think the Slaaneshi demons are enjoying themselves too.

[@TheChilldude96]

I just discovered you guys from TikTok, since ive been craving 40k in more of a casual way. and didnt figure out i guys had a youtube untill recently. Keep up the good work

[@Biblioholic1993]

Warhammer always felt like it was super fuckin dense to get into, and this channel is really helping me dip my toes in slowly.

[@Angel0fSleep]

23:14 the change in Koda's expression.....PRICELESS👌

[@dragonsaint9446]

Fun fact about the whole ork krork scale, they're basically self-limiting, orks will naturally scale their power and even their technology up and down based on the magnitude of threat they're facing! So after the War In Heaven and the Fall of the Aeldari they basically didn't have any real opposition for a long time, so they downscaled to what the Imperium thinks of as "normal" orks. This is theorized to be a safety feature put in by the Old Ones to stop them becoming a bigger threat than the Necrons they were meant to fight. Big E and Horus basically managed to speed-blitz them, wiping them out faster than they could scale up, however when that blitz stopped the scaling kicked in, at least partially which is how we got The Beast. After that they basically scaled down since the post Heresy Imperium wasn't nearly as much of a threat, but then Kryptman threw a Tyranid Hive Fleet at the biggest WAAAGH around, and let them beat the brakes off each other for YEARS, so now we're once again getting real close to krork level Boyz again!

[@benocallaghan8403]

A Waaagh is England when Tyson fury has a boxing match. I’ve walked the streets after one, it’s what other countries call a riot and the police often have to treat it as one.

[@theliegeoflettuce854]

That Krork/quark joke got a solid chuckle out of me.

[@samuelevans738]

not the tau, you're thinking the Eldar; they were super psykers with the ability to essentially toggle "god mode" on and off on a whim, and were also pretty good with their tech to boot.

[@Voltek5]

I was told the goal of all orkz at this point is to somehow band together and turn the entire universe into a gun that shoots itself (metaphorically and literally).

[@solusaldrain]

I heard a rumor that you can make ork war machines out of sprues (the plastic bits that hold the model parts onto the frame) and it counts as a legal model in tournaments.

[@TheGman567]

Started playing Darktide and so glad I found your channel 40k lore is so interesting.

[@xman6574839]

23:16 yup thats about it. you boiled down the orks entire schtick. Perfect.

[@DetrimenttoSociety]

And in the end, Vulcan managed to bring down the Beast. Forever securing the knowledge that green is indeed, da best kolah.

[@willkiepentico4372]

I've been reading warhammer lore since high school and this is a great way to run it down quick and dirty love you guys

[@nerdiwolverine]

I'm new here because my boyfriend loves 40k and I'm trying to learn more about it for him. These videos help a lot, thank you

[@civiux]

You guys have been a staple part of my weekly drive from San Diego to Los Angeles!!! Awesome podcast

[@peterhazzard6107]

Definitely cover the Imperial Fists and Black Templars!

[@Rickbee]

My favorite story of orc stupidity is when a human army ran out of ammo and decided to point their guns at the orcs and say bang, but bullets were hitting them even though they were empty

[@unseencrowyomare4143]

Bit late onto the train. But yeah. I. Love. Orks. And their stupid shenanigans. They also have the easiest time for converting figurines. My favourite drop of trivia is that orks semi regularly fight, break, fix and drive the same tank during the same battle. They were made to be ultimate survivors and scavengers of any battlefield.

[@djphroop]

I started 40k back in the early 2000's with the box set with Black Templars vs Dark Eldar which focused into a Black Templar army. Transitioned into tau the moment they launched up till the new models for stealth suits launched. Later Space Wolves cause of spare bits and such. When it comes to lore the orks have always been my favorite.

[@jacksonwitt5516]

I really hope y’all do more ork stuff as it is the only reason I’m getting into warhammer haha

[@rhinotron4463]

Can you guys do more on orks? I genuinely love the shenanigans they get up to

[@adammorrison5840]

I dunno if this has been covered... but the topsy-turvy, is helpful if you want fresh tomatoes and dont have a lot of outdoor floor space, turning it into a hanging basket, its also supposed to help since theyre not growing up against gravity, and allowing the plant to get thicker

[@DrShamo]

Upside down boy here, love your work and the enthusiasm in your content.

[@MourningMeadows3015]

Thank you guys for this series. Found it on TikTok and I love hearing you talk about the lore. 40k is fascinating but very dense

[@mattiOTX]

Around the 5:00 mark, I think you guys could cut the segment about ork belief and how things happen into a short video. If y'all find little tidbits where you are doing a little world building to explain stuff you can edit new videos out of those just for more content since more content increases the ability to be seen. Edit: what I'm referring to is have y'all ever seen the Joe Rogan clips where it's 7 to 12 minute clips out of the long form stuff he does. That's what I think would be very good for your channel with getting more eyes on you guys. Y'all have some of the best 40k videos in my opinion and have a good format and natural chemistry between the two of you that once more eyes get on y'all, this thing should take off.

[@ryanschauer4844]

Kodas breakdown of the hollow moons has me floored hahhahahaha also I love your edits on these videos too

[@RickDrail]

Watching your guy's videos made me love orks so much
