now I can't stop imagining a ork showing off his powers and accidentally setting himself on fire

That is probably the least of his worries.

"Oi, I swear! The boss has stepped on me toes for the last time!" grumbled the annoyed weirdboy, Warptoof, a bit out of sorts that da Boss had taken his shiny copper stick to use as a hood ornament for his signature, kustom Bosskar. It had been Warptoof's favorite stick, and pressing one end of the rod against the earth while clutching the other end with his hands was the only way he could ground himself, and get a moment's relief from the constantly building pressure of the WAAAGH! energy pounding within his mind. The Boy that Warptoof was speaking with, Runnyeye the Lergic, jerked his gaze over the weirdboy'z shoulder, yellowed eyes widening at the huge, lumbering form fast approaching. "U-Uh, Warptoof...da boss is behind ya!" "What did ya say about me, Warptoof?!" growled the big mech, the rusted joints of the thick armor layered over the massive Boss' form groaning like the cry of a thousand hummies being crumped at once. "You little git! You fink you can talk bad about DA BOSS, do ya? Well, say it t'my face! Say what ya jus' said, to me face, or I'll CRUMP YA GOOD right here! You'll be so smushed, not even the Snotties'll eat your corpse!" The weirdboy whirled about on a heel instinctively to face the speaker. The bells and various jingly bits the other boys had taped, glued, or tied to Warptoof to warn them of the volatile weirdboy's approach were sent jingling and clanking as he spun. "I-I said-" stammered Warptoof, suddenly unable to find his voice. He fell silent, reflexively swallowing past a throat that had long since gone dry. "C'mon, Warptoof! The boss is gettin' closer! If you don't do something, we're bof' gonna get crumped but good!" urged Runnyeye to Warptoof when it seemed the warp head wasn't going to speak. The Big Mech, easily four times the size of the diminutive weirdboy, towered over the smaller Ork and leaned in, pulling back its cracked, greenish-pink lips to reveal rows of jagged, chipped, yellowed teeth. "Well?!" boomed da Boss, nearly bowling over the weirdboy bodily with the force of his voice. The Big Mech's mechanical eyepiece flashed an angry crimson, and the lens twisted a quarter of a rotation with a strained whir of servos to focus in on the tiny weirdboy. Warptoof could see his reflection in the cracked eyepiece. The lens had been the infrared lamp from a low-light sighting cogitator ripped from a destroyed Baneblade, and the Big Mech was large enough to wear that lamp as an eyepiece. The weirdboy was acutely aware of how small he looked in that eye; his fearful reflection in the optic staring back at him. Then, Warptoof felt a flood of bravery, or stupidity - he wasn't sure which - well up in him. "I-I said...I want me stick back! And...youz been mistreatin' me...An' the rest of the Boyz...an'-..." The weirdboy's chest began to rise and fall rapidly as he struggled for breath. His courage faded before he even finished the sentence, and he found it hard to even speak. But he forced out a few last words: "...an'...I'm gonna SQUIG YA!" A voice in the distance rose up. "Yeah, Warptoof! You don't 'ave to take his bullyin' no more!" It was another Ork; a member of the camp under the Big Mech's command. He, too, had been wronged by da Boss. The big mech had snatched up his favorite pet squig for the evening's pot pie earlier in the week. "'Ew said that?!" roared the Mech, rotating about and surveying the camp, leaning every which way like a leering giant about to pick through a helpless village. "Yeah!" came another voice. "Squig 'em, Warptoof!" called another oppressed Boy. The Boss had been encouraging the others to call him Stumpy after he got both legs blown off below the knee by errant stubber fire. When the Boy had told the Boss such treatment "Hurts me feelings but good," the Boss only picked on him harder. Nobs and Mechs and Boys and Grots and Snots alike shuffled over to see what all the screamin' was about. They would see there was about to be a fight! And someone was challenging DA BOSS, no less! The excitement of an impending crumping, maybe even a good 'ol fashioned camp-wide brawl, began to flood through the camp. Warptoof felt the familiar searing flash of pain break against his jagged mind as the localized WAAAGH! energy began to build from his brother Orks' battle lust, and everything seemed to him to glow a dim green for an instant. "'Oll deal with yous gits later!" swore the War Boss, glaring threateningly at the gathering crowd. Then he turned his attention back to the little git who started all of this: Warptoof. "You're gonna wot, you slimey grot?" shrieked the Big Mech, whirling about again and coming snout to snout with poor Warptoof. "...I'm gonna SQUIG YA!" he shrieked! "Aye! Give 'em the 'ol Zogwarts Special!" cheered a nearby nob. "We're tired of your bullyin' wayz, Boss! Warptoof is gonna squig ya good!" cried another. "We don't need a nasty, bullyin' git like yous as Boss no more!" shouted yet one more. "Get to the squiggin', Warptoof! The BOYZ is wif ya!" ...And this is already ten times longer than I meant it would be. I'll stop it there - it's plenty long enough half a friggin' novel left on a two year old video that nobody will read. Just hearing "I'm gonna squig ya!" and "Zogwart's Special" made me laugh thinking up a scenario where Orks would actually say that Shit, this really makes me wish there were stories or even complete narratives written entirely from the Ork's perspective. That could be seriously funny.

Thanks for...sharing :)

@Andrew One of two things. Either Warptoof squigged the Warboss and was crowned warboss by virtue of defeating the previous one...or Warptoof's spell fizzled out and the big mech crumped Warptoof good.

"Travellin' through space is boring. Well, boring unless da hulk yer on is full of dem gene-sneakers, or a base fer da chaos lads wiv da spikes, or already has Boyz on it. Or if humie lootas come callin', that's always good fer a bit a sport. Or unless yer have a mutiny or two to pass da time, or unless strange fings start happenin', which dey usually do when yer out in da warp. One time we had some bloody great ugly fing come straight out of Weird Lugwort's 'ed! It butchered half da lads, that was pretty entertainin'. Come ter fink of it, space is a pretty good larf. And that's before yer find yerself a nice world ta crush!"

I guess as a Ork Warboss, I'd try and use these guys for gambit counter assaults. The variety and uncontrollable nature of the odd boys psychic potential would help cause counters from enemies to be wrong footed. Though the odd boy may not tip the scales it could cause enough disarray for enemies that it seems an acceptable risk compared to a being routed out right.

That's assuming you have any critical thinking as an Ork. As a Warboss You'd likely just bunch up all your boyz and have them charge into the enemy because that's just more fun. Well maybe, i haven't heard much about Warbosses other than some of the famous Warbosses, but the ones that are famous are likely more smart than the *average* bosses who[']d likely do what i said above.

Weirdly enough, best smite-dakka model on table top. Not to mention +1 to psychic test for every 10 models mean an ork player could be making 1D6 mortal wound instead of 1D3.

Doesn't like constant loud noise, is deemed weird by his group because he doesn't like what they like, is forced to fight when he does not want to, and is constantly angry because of all this, fighting to control his powers all the while.... so basically Weirdboyz are severly annoyed introverts who are depraved of much needed down time?

If said introverts could make someone's head explode by laughing at them.

So they don't use actual warp energy they use the energy of themselves basically? So they can't turn to chaos id say

I don't think I've read of any Orks ever gotten full-on daemonically possessed, though I could be wrong. Ork psykers are far more likely to literally explode if something goes on with their magicking :D
