The INSANE Story of How 2 Ork Boys Killed A Titan. | Warhammer 40k Lore

[@darkherculeskabuterimon7203]

The two most dangerous kinds of orks: an ork that has been allowed to grow into a literal giant, and an ork with metaphorical gears turning in their head.

[@Broomer52]

Ufthak is a former Storm Boy and worships Mork and a lot of Orks in the story make fun of him for how brainy he is. Ufthak is a smart Ork that outsmarted the Adeptus Mechanicus on purpose several times, and then tricked a Demon Engine and knocked into a volcano. I’m glad Ufthak is finally getting some recognition.

[@Shadowangel615]

Isn’t Ghazghkul Thrakka both?

[@AnimeSunglasses]

The ones with literal gears turning in their heads are pretty dangerous too.

[@darkherculeskabuterimon7203]

@@Shadowangel615 Technically no. He didn't grow into a giant, his head was surgically mounted on a larger cybernetic body. I don't think he is physically capable of growing anymore.

"An alarm went off, initially they thought it meant all the humies were dead" this made me laugh because of how stupid it was.

[@arandomsquidward7761]

"What was life, if you didn't get reminded of how close it sometimes came to ending?" Surprisingly profound for an Ork.

[@Broomer52]

The entire book Ufthak gets mocked about how smart he is by saying stuff like “that’s some Blood Axe thinking”. Which usually results in the offending Ork getting kicked or punch to show them what’s what. He used to be a Storm Boy and although he quit to join the Bad Moons he admits he kinda misses it which speaks a lot for how and why he thinks like he does. You can take an Ork out of the Storm Boys but you can’t take the Storm Boys out of the Ork.

[@Brigtzen]

@@Broomer52 I can not explain with words how much i am enjoying this

[@Broomer52]

@@Brigtzen I forgot that he also worship Mork instead of Gork. Mork of course being the brainy Ork God and his entire Waagh is basically the Ork Mechanicus because they go around stealing tech and then adapting it to make it more Orky so they can take even better loot. Their boss’s name is even Mechboss Da Mechlord. They end it with Ufthak knocking a Demon engine into a Volcano and stealing a bunch of STC’s Mechboss recognizing what it is and saying how with this amazing loot they can bring a Waagh to the galaxy no one has seen before.

9:30 the fact the war boss's flagrant attempt at killing the grott was taken as his life line legit puts a smile on my face

[@trey552]

And the fact that it wasn’t really for any particular reason other than “he thought it’d be funny”

[@keegobricks9734]

No the best part of that was he wanted to kick it for no reason. That's when when a cat randomly goes and slaps a dog that's sleeping peacefully, and then walks away. The dog's nap and possibly day is ruined, but it was worth it because the cat was entertained for a couple seconds

Hey I just wanted to say, I stumbled upon Warhammer through your channel. I just recently went to a Warhammer Store, got a SICK command set of Necrons and Space Marines, and am going to begin my journey in the hobby. My recent journeys into my artistic side sparked my curiosity, but you are solely responsible for my ravenous interest into this unbelievably unique universe (and also shameless in its parodies of other badass universes which I’m never upset about honestly). Your videos are simple, easy to digest, and entertaining, all in one. Your demeanor is also delightful and it feels like a buddy of mine is just ranting about his favorite verse and it’s delightful. Thank you so much! Keep doing what you do, cause you helped this nerd stumble into an incredible pass time.

Best part of the book how a Dark Mechanicum techpriest was scheming a Choas plot on the planet during the Ork invasion that got completely derailed by it. Dude was specifically trying to destroy the titan in a revenge plot but was pretty pissed when he heard that the Orks got it first in the dumbest way possible. They even had a section or two from the Titans crew perspective like they were main characters only for them to get yeeted by the Orks without so much as another perspective shift.

[@Huey1205]

This was one of the first books I have ever read about WH40K (besides the Eisenhorn books, as I was told to read them first) three years ago, after being introduced to it by a friend in 2018. What is so funny about this particular part in the story is how just a chapter before that, the crew of the titan is explained, characterized and overall made to be likeable. Then in the next chapter, they aren't even mentioned by name, but simply as meat bags that Uffthak smashes through. And to me personally, I at first did not realize that the people getting smashed to bits within that titan, were the previously presented characters. I absolutely loved the insanity of that story. A worthy note: I read it in German, where the book is renamed to "Der Weg der Orks" -> "The way of the orks", which I think fits it perfectly.

[@firetails6518]

ngl, after watching a bunch of your shorts and videos about orks has majorly gotten me into orks. I only dabbled into warhammer every now and then not knowing much, so honestly thank you, I even got my own ork army and this book a few weeks ago. Thank you man.

I hated orcs before I learned about Warhammer. You have cultivated a respect from me my friend. If any orc fans have cool lore, I'm all ears friends

[@Nerobyrne]

Orks are probably the most varied of the fantasy races based on universe. For instance, in Lord of the Rings, they're literally just evil meat-machines, lacking most culture. So, a story from their perspective wouldn't even make sense. Warhammer Orks are sentient fungi who are brilliant in their own right, yet also remarkably simple. And then we have the Orks of Warcraft, who are more or less stronger humans with a focus on spirit magic instead of arcane. I think the ones from Warhammer are definitely my favourite.

[@Blessed_V0id]

@@Nerobyrne I used to be a lotr fan so seeing a smart but comedic version, who's brutality had righteous purpose in origin is wayyyy different to Tolkiens tyrannical beasts who symbolise only the worst of man kind. Makes a nice change of pace

[@Nerobyrne]

@@Blessed_V0id yeah Tolkien himself said that he never thought of the orks as a fully sentient race. In fact, of all the servants of Sauron, they were the only ones that he said could never be redeemed. All the "evil" men were either already enemies of Gondor or corrupted the way Rohan was. Not the Orks though.

[@bjornthefellhanded5655]

16:25 I think it's more likely that the Warhound Titans Void Shields collided with the Warlord Titans Void Shields, and since there was nobody alive inside the Warlord to control the Void Shields they got overwhelmed and some of the Void Shield Generators to explode, which combined with the Warhound slamming into it destabilized the Warlord beyond the point that the Machine Spirit could recover from, and it fell over. Void Shields can tank Nuclear Detonations....I think they can handle a few hundred-thousand tons of machinery beyond flung at them.

[@The_mekboy_you_deserve]

The reason I love the orks most of all factions is their "creativity", okay they may not be smart, may not be that strong if it weren't for their innate psychic power but damn if their minds do shine brighter than the sun sometimes, and this story was a clear manifestation of this. They even had the will to create weapons and "battle plans" to be more efficient against specific enemies, ok "most ov da plans result in a krumpin'" but they still were plans.
