Wes, speaking of orks, you gonna do a lore video on the Beast?

[@V.B.Squire]

This won't be PC but orks most resemble African war Lords

[@weshammer]

@@The_Boykisser Thats a good idea! I'll have to read his novels first tho. I feel like other loretubers focus on the campaigns and codexs primarily and I try to set my vids apart by using the novels as my main source material. That being said, the war of the beast is a series I haven't dived into yet. after I do, I'll be sure to cover him!

[@Uzzgub]

​@weshammer I have been a massive fan of Orkz since I was 7, I'm now 40 they are the best of the Grim Dark for me, I love the rest of it but the Orkz just squeak it for me

[@zyntherius2]

A question if you would. So you know that ork's don't have hair.. They have squigs that they stick to their skin and have them chomp down ya? How does the ork admirals grow such fancy beards? a line of squigs?

[@magikot]

Even Khorne loves and is entertained by the Orks. There's one Ork band that happily battles daily in his realm and is resurrected the following morning for another good fight. And every single Ork there is ecstatic over this proposition.

Back when I was a kid I used to collect Orks, Death skulls were my Klan of choice, partially from liking the colour blue and partly because in a lot of adventure games I'd play at the time (and still do to this day) I'll end up looting anything of value that isn't nailed down. These days my favourite colour is purple, I even tried painting some orks in purple but I could never find them again.

Interesting thing about the Bad Moons: The other ork clans don't actually consider their fast-growing teef to be an unfair advantage, even if they do think of the lot of 'em as flashy ostentatious gits. After all, if you think that Bad Moon's gob has more teef than he deserves in it, you can just punch them out more often. If you're not big enough or 'ard enough to do so, that's a you problem.

The Orks are popular in 40K because they are the only truly content species in the setting. They're truly happy where they are in the world as it is right now and wouldn't have it any other way. A band of Orks could happily barge in on a supposedly plot important scene and they'll be plenty happy to be a part of it and krump everything with a grin and smile. And I am sure that makes the fans happy too.

Purple Orks are so stealthy that when one dies you can't ever find their body, and thus cannot prove that it is dead. In fact, they are so stealthy that GW can't find them to add into the cannon.

[@crackdog45]

Would love to see a book, or even fan fiction, following the adventures of a clan of stealthy boyz.

Im a fan of the Blood Axes myself. Love the idea of a Kommando crawling through tall grass muttering "Sneakee likes da humies, sneakee to da humies, choppa in da humies..." then "WAAAAGH" as he bursts from cover with his boyz to ambush an imperial patrol

I made an ork free booter captain named cap'n' squigbeard. He's got a tangled beard of hair squigs on his face and a mane of hair squigs. Inspired by zodgrot wortsnagga. He was once a bad moons ork that figured he'd make even ore loot as a free booter captain. His favorite melee combo is a power claw in the shape of a pirates hook and a power cutlass. He's the only one that can pronounce the r in waaagh! Making it sound like a deep bellowing aaargh!

The reason everyone loves the Orkz is because they are killy, funny and memeworthy all at the same time all the time, hence why every 40k fan has a special place for them in their heart even if they aren't their favorite faction.

[@SuperMrHiggins]

Bingo. 🤣🤣🤣

[@Khalith]

In the Warboss novel, a Goff explains the difference between being a coward and using tactics as opposed to being cunning and having a plan. “Using tactics is to make sure the other gits don’t kill you and is for cowards. Having a plan is how you kill the other gits first.”

[@jacobanderson8219]

Just two quick things Wes, both relating to color. The Goffs prefer black and white due to their ancestors nearly being wiped out by the Luna Wolves pre-Heresy, and the Blood Axes do have a favorite color in purple, since Orks see it as "da sneekiest colla der iz."

[@mikkelnpetersen]

"If purple izn't a stealthy colla, then how come you've never seen a purple ork?"

Keep in mind boys & girls: during the "War of the Beast", the Ork Empire of the "Beast (s)" came much closer to defeating the Imperium, than Horus did during the Heresy. And the titular "Beast" wasn´t even a fully developed Krork. Now, imagine if a proper Krork would show up in the setting!

[@AhmedMostafa-ir2bl]

Will a Krork is trapped in trazen the infinite museum if that one gets out it will be over for the world

[@thehate9089]

The best part of that is that even Vulcan, the largest of the Primarchs and one of the best martial combatants among them wasn't enough to take care of the Beast. He had to suicide himself just to try to take out the almost fully grown krok and it still didn't work. Then the Imperium just kinda cheated and it was fine, but I didn't really appreciate how they didn't really have to work for the win after an entire space marine/terminator unit got stomped by the same Beast with little effort. Reverse Uno weirdboy is apparently a tactic they forgot about even tho it took out five other potential Beasts.

[@KCUFyoufordoxingme]

Where did they come from though? Why were they not starved for battle from all the space travel? What could create them in a more severe fighting enviroment that the Octarius war which created zero extra strong orks? Whatever actually makes orks stronger, we massively misunderstand it. The lore is so wildly inconsistent to the point were we have to throw out all theories.

You should've mentioned with the Bad Moonz that they have a gun called the "Gobshot Thunderbuss," which is a massive cannon that shoots a gold plated chest full of gold plated teef into a crowd of enemies. Not only does it deal massive blunt force damage, but also inspires the other orks to fight harder to get that massive amount of loot.

Kinda another sub faction, but a little surprised they didn't get a mention, the Storm Boys. Sure the blood axes will use sneaky tactics they saw, but these weirdos do crazy, rebellious things, like cleaning up after themselves, marching in sync, polishing their wargear and using squad tactics. The only reason the common Ork tolerates them is because their rocket packs tend to explode in an entertaining fashion.

[@junkyardrat2122]

I'm a freebooter Ork player what drew me to the Ork was the customized aspect of them no matter what your battle wagon looks like it's perfect in there eyes and also the player base. In my personal experience the Ork community of players is the most layed back and accepting group of all faction.

[@centric3125]

While not tournament acceptable, supposedly there have been instances of ork players on a budget using *Tonka Trucks* with Leman Russ pieces and such fixed to them. It's a little ridiculous, but it's also hilarious and perfectly in mind for an ork.

[@OldWitchDoctor]

Orks are the best faction in the sense that they actually seem to have a good time unlike most of the other races. They're also fun and comedic, so they're easy to love. They also traditionally haven't been the top of the meta, which I think has resulted in a lot of their players just being people who love the faction and the fun of the game, ork players generally have a pretty good reputation online compared to a lot of other parts of the hobby, and I think that also helps people love for the faction as well. From a hobby perspective, their culture of looting also leads to some players making some pretty rad kitbashes. I realize that I'm generalizing here, but I think the love for the orks has multiple causes and I think it is well earned, both in lore, and from the fanbase. Shoutout to all the ork enthusiasts I've encountered over the years, you guys make the hobby a better place.

[@dogewood5499]

Always love hearing more about Orks. They are what got me into 40K and I have a massive love for Goffs and for Freebootaz. I think what makes the Orks so damn good in this universe is a mixture of being funny and scary at the same time as well as their rather big amount (at least comparatively to the amount available) of good interesting stories. I mean hell, Wes himself mentioned Kaptain Bloodflag who has the most entertaining dialogue in that campaign. Also, I'm sure most of the comment section know of Tuska Daemonkilla and have enjoyed his story.

[@Broomer52]

Theirs a faction not as prominent as the main ones because it’s Ork Counter Culture so it’s only for the rebellious Orks fighting against the system. If Snake Bitez are Boomers, The Storm Boyz are the Zoomers. They fight against the unstructured anarchy of Ork Culture by being structured, trained and disciplined. Other Orks find this offensive and stupid. The run constant drills, wear uniforms, shine their boots and have disciplined chain of command. Fight back against a system that has no rules by making rules! They also wear rocket packs to fly over the other Orks to reach the front lines faster which is even more offensive because they’re cutting in front of the crowd and fly over a bunch of fights, they should fight on the ground and charge into fight like a real Ork! The only upside is sometimes Stormboyz lose control of their Rocket Packs and explode which makes for a good laugh for other Orks.

i have never played warhammer in my life. i am but a humble 3.5 edition D&D player. but this version of Orcs HIGHLY fascinates me. as a barbarian lover, i love the idea of just violent crazy muscle heads crushing and killing everything in sight. and to top it off, they all talk like cockney brits, which adds to the charm of them. so to close my statement: "WAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!! WHO'S READY TAH KRUMP SOMETHIN?!"

19:12 Why is the screen so empty here? I can't see anything.

[@bluwzrdphone]

I recently got a kitbash idea for Fallout Super Mutant Orks, so this is good to learn.

[@philurbaniak1811]

👍👍 love these guys for flavor and kitbash potential 😊

[@BigBWolf90]

How about a video on Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka & Sebastian Yarrick? Maybe something on Ciaphas Cain *(HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!!!)*

[@zelarn]

Great videos as always Wes! I really enjoy these explanation videos since I havent read any 40K books, but still love the lore, keep them coming!

[@mr.xelameun]

I'm kinda new to the lore, but seeing the different clans lined up like that makes me think of a literal perfect war machine blueprint, spiritual, economy, scouting dpt that absorbs tactics, a strong infantry variant, a vehicled corps, and stealers for xeno scrap. Makes me wonder what will happen when the Krork gene clicks back in

[@LetholdusKaspyr]

I love the orks, because I can play them without feeling a twinge of dismay at every casualty. Lots of other forces, I feel a ridiculous touch of sadness as yet another hero of the Imperium dies. With orks, I can laugh while I lose, because the boyz were no doubt having a great time.

[@nielsvandenberg9022]

As a growing ork player i likee dis video a lot, it gave me inspiration to continue my big WAAAAGH against da bugz

[@ag79tmpak47]

I think I'm in love with the blood axes, their literally ork commandos... ORK COMMANDOS

[@axisninja2773]

I got a tacticus ad with Wes talking about it before the video 😂 gotta mean it’s gonna be a good video

[@melaniabladeofmiquella]

Your Orc voice acting gives me life ❤

[@Spaniard727]

Great video! You know what would be a video I’d love to see from you? One where you lost your favorite Warhammer novels, maybe categorized by faction

[@twoduece]

so the blood axes believe camo paint makes things sneaky- does that actually make the things a little bit harder to notice?

[@Onkoloinen]

I love the Orcs and the biggest reason has to be, even when they are surrounded and outnumbered, they are still stuck in a fight and living the best life any Orc could wish for mindset of theirs

[@chaosforever5667]

We love you Wes, keep it up brotha.

[@nathanielcockayne2376]

Love the picture of the snotlin wrenching out a toof

[@alexmason3472]

Perfect, a new Weshammer video to listen while painting my minis👌

[@Starwind88]

Congratulations on 600k mate you're flying up there. Majorkill will be jealous 😂. Love the work you do. You come across as a humble and genuine person. Wish you the best ❤ 😉

[@svrsl7819]

this is the informiest talk about everybody's goodest dakka dispensers

[@kexard]

I already loved the Orks, but hearing about the Free Booters made me love them 10x as much.

[@Douglas-nt7jd]

From time to time while playing I've learned what my opponent army is and give "uuugh" but with ork i always get a smile. Good or bad orks are still fun to play against.

[@chrisbadgerlord1037]

Dude thanks for all the hard work it takes to make a piece of art as beautiful and enjoyable as this video! My favorite was the bad moons! I wants all the best gear and daka my teethz can buy!!! hahahaha

[@howdareyouexist]

crazy and over the top is a good way to describe that comb over of yours

[@thomasf103]

As I am starting to collect Orks again, I LOVE these videos!

[@wadam111]

Among other great pieces the artwork at 19:40 is my favorite by far

[@samw6414]

i love the idea of a blood axe invasion where the bright rainbow camouflage actually works anyway just because they think it does.

[@fantomphlame5565]

I can just imagine the Free Booters screaming YO HO as they storm a ship only for their victims to say “ what year is it?”

[@eats_a_skittle5459]

Thank you Sir Wes for the great work and time ya spent putting this together .

[@bryce6274]

Don’t think I’ve been this early you just made my day at work a lot better

[@RoyalCrustle]

Da Orkz have been my favorite faction in 40K ever since I got into it in my teens. Who doesn't love charging the enemy with sheer numbers with da boyz?

[@dakotasargent8459]

Would love a deep dive into the salamanders or possibly into Lukas the trickster of the space wolves since hes a pretty fun chsracter
