The Orks of Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40k - Lore Overview

[@TheBookofChoyer]

To Waaagh!!🔥 I hope you enjoyed this episode my friends! This video was somewhat different than usual and if you feel it was a bit all over the place, you are probably right. Like stated in the video description, this is more of an exploratory video more than anything else and our first dip into WH40k. The idea is to see what aspects you enjoyed the most while correcting the parts that didn't work so well, let me know in the comments what you think and we'll take it from there. Also, a massive shoutout to Skrubasauras! our main voice actor. In this episode he made an awesome job as always with the narration but I think the impersonations he made in the quotes of the different characters throughout the whole video must be highlighted. Have an amazing weekend my friends!! Cheers!🙌

[@skrubasauras]

@@Diarmuhnd I think Orcs is fantasy and 40k is Orks. There might be some collision there though haha

[@CharalamposKoundourakis]

I really liked how it connected both universes! It shows their differences and similarities quite well!

[@keegobricks9734]

My favorite part of the Orks in 40k is that they don't use Gellar fields or pray for deliverance when entering the warp, hoping no one will notice. They ROAR entering the warp, challenging the warp entities and daemons to board their ships. It's a good way to kill time while you travel to a real fight.

[@Never_heart]

I am reminded of a story from Warhammer Fantasy. A bunch of savage orks were fucking with a lizardman temple and opened a rift to Chaos. Understandably the lizardmen attacked the demons pouring through. But then the savage orks chose to fight both armies, win and then make an effigy to Mork and Gork that by accident channeled enough divine power to seal the rift

[@redcrewmate927]

​@@Never_heart what I love about 40k orks is that Daemon would avoid most orks because then it's pointless to fight an enemy who's gonna laugh most of the time. 😂

[@fjLKA]

Orks are the only faction to tie down the Imperium's armies in wars of attrition for its entire history. No other faction in 40k can say the same thing. The Tyranids, Tau, and Necrons haven't been a major threat until M41. The dying Eldar have NEVER challenged the Imperium's existence. They can't. Chaos is a subtle enough threat that the Inquisition can hide it from most of the Imperium's citizens, and it wasn't a major threat to the Imperium until the time of the Heresy. But Orks? They had colossal empires to challenge the Great Crusade from some of its earliest campaigns. Orks almost took the Galaxy during the War of the Beast, and their billions have been a burden on the Imperium's armies every day since then. For nine-tenths of the 40k timeline, the only major outside threat to the Imperium was either Chaos or Orks. But only the Orks are described in the lore as being ubiquitous. You have to look around a bit to find Chaos. The ubiquitous Orks took on a ruthless military empire of a million worlds. 10 000 years later, the Orks are more dangerous than ever. Don't underestimate them.

@@ThaTyphon They certainly are easier these days but I still have problems. More or less due to my skill rather than the faction itself though. I'm stubborn though so I'll keep at it until I get it. Hmm I do tend to leave the Dawi a bit too long though. It's usually a Dawi army that gives me the worse losses too. An odd bray heard that refused to leave or die caused my downfall once or twice. Rather embarrassing those ones actually.

[@droideka1890]

@@brandonfrancis1941 Sometimes, and I repeat, SOMETIMES in the early game it’s best when you go full melee if you play Grimgor. Yes, it’s the most “unga bunga” way of playing but while the enemy frontlines are busy fighting 14 boy units, who’s protecting the other 6 artillery / missile units? No one, so send the rest of the boyz to scrap ‘em! Only recommended against dwarfs when NOT sieging, since they can’t move very much and lack cavalry, something you DO have to harass their artillery. Boars are slow, yes, so I recommend wolves to destroy them. They require micromanaging since their only use is to charge, retreat, keep charging, but nothing that going into slow-mo once or twice for a time can’t fix. Do NOT let them fight, they’ll die to a slight sneeze from a stuntie. For the rest in the early game just unga bunga your way through until you get the monsters and your own artillery. After that just do what you feel like. Fun fact: if the skaven ambush you, unless they have reinforcements or warp fire throwers, you can easily pull out a “I’m not trapped in here with you, you are trapped in here with me” moment, which I love.

I don't know if this is still canon, but the spores in fantasy and 40k are different. In fantasy, the spores usually need to grow in dark places, caves and such. However Ork spores from 40k are much more resilient to the elements and can actually terraform and make the land survivable for the orks.

Nice presentation and narration, I agree with the comments that you have a good voice and tempo for it. Shame, in 40k at least, that the Orks on the table don't match the fluff. In fact GW has steadily been nerfing them since second edition. But I do wonder that there is not a section of Ork society that we have not seen. It was kind of touched on in Gorka Morka, but you can't provide that volume of waaagh materiel without some kind of manufacturing. It is agreed Ork guns are Ork products not looted. Where does the raw material come from to produce the volume of weapons and arma needed?

[@JTMHoneycombs]

[@Veloxyll]

It is contested whether Ork vehicles painted red go faster. Or if Ork vehicles that go faster are painted red. The instinctive knowledge of the Orks, singular and collectively, and the ideosyncracies of Orkineering serving to confuse cause and effect to outside observers.
