Warhammer 40k: Winter Assault - DIS-ORK-DER CAMPAIGN 1

[@zoltanrobertlovas4672]

I've a feeling that Grant found himself in the orkz quicker than in any other faction in any game over the years.

[@petrowegynyolc7108]

Best thing about the Orkz? The upgrade animation on the Pile 'o Gunz, which is literally a gretchin, jumping into the pile to find some better guns.

[@FrostbiteDigital]

I've been playing this game for over 10 years and I only just discovered that... 🤣

[@Angzt]

Quick Ork facts: 1. Orks are at least part fungus. They reproduce via spores which they release throughout their lives and on death. The spores then grow into the various Ork species underground, which means it's really hard to permanently rid a planet of Orks. 2. Orks' intelligence increase with the number of Orks gathered in one place. 3. Orks have a peculiar psychic potential in that their beliefs manifest in reality with enough Orks present. As such, Orks can make a vehicle go faster by painting it red because dey blief dat red tingz go fasta, so they do. 4. The Orks' gods are called Gork and Mork. One is the god of cunning brutality while the other is the god of brutal cunning. Many an inter-Ork war has been fought over who is better. Results are, thus far, inconclusive.

[@nonya1366]

Fire works on orks very well, it prevents the spores getting out- Which does means lasguns are, marginally effective at reducing the amount of spores due to them being heat directed energy weapons [Even if they feel...Far less impressive than that title implies.] The ork's intelligence tends to get centralized into their Nob'z, Mek's, Dok's, Warbosses. The average boy isn't gonna get smarter [outside of maybe going from feral bows to guns...Or refusing to pick up the gun to stick with the bow, orks are weird sometimes.] They still might not -use- that intelligence. More then one warboss is as smart as a bundle of bricks, but could probably solve advanced math equations if he wanted to. He never does. Orkimedes however? Solved teleportation. Across the galaxy. The beliefs do have to be directed- The common beliefs [My gun works.] [Red goes faster] are automatic, but the more complicated the belief- Or more accurately, the more it falls out of the usual ork thinkin, the more it takes for the bosses to force the belief upon the orks with violence. The common joke is that no one perhaps save maybe the orks [who probably established who is who in a particular mob with violence.] Which ones which. So you'll see Gork and mork (Or was dat Mork and Gork?) In universe at least.

[@Jeff_the_Hobo]

"Congratulations, Game, you are both silly and well designed" That's the best kind of game!

[@dicerson9976]

Looks like you never noticed during the entire tutorial - Ork Workers, unlike the SM worker unit, are SQUADS. Meaning you can reinforce your Gretchin squads to add more workers, improving their build speed and durability! When this campaign makes you play the Chaos faction, they go back to single unit builder.

[@EthosO76]

@@ExValeFor probably, but if i remember correctly, the reinforcements for the gretchin squads are free?

[@The-jy3yq]

@@EthosO76 they are free, yet the only thing they do for you is just more Gretchin- more meat to chug into the grinder - no bonus to build or repair speed

[@Cpl.Punishment]

It does also add to their damage, there's something to be said for starting the game by buidling a squad of gretchin, setting them to auto-re-enforce and then A-moving them at the enemy base as scouts and harassment. They're so hilariously cheap that there's really no downside, and in multiplayer it's frustrating as hell to deal with a slow trickle of piddly ass gretchin interupting your workers.

[@blecao]

@@ExValeFor In reality it caps at 2 unit models so only the first gretching squad addon means better building

[@dicerson9976]

15:00 Term for a group of orks depends on its size. Tribe is the smallest, followed by Clan, Horde, and then WAGH. Subgroups of orks are usually just referred to as Groups or Mobs, or sometimes as Hordes in and of themselves for particularly large WAGHs.

[@leadpaintchips9461]

You forgot a few AA's and an exclamation point in those WAAAGH!s.

[@The-jy3yq]

Addendum: it seems as if there are two "klanz" in Ork hierarchy - the smaller one and the bigger one The smaller one is like a subject group or just a bigga' tribe, the bigga' one aiz da Ork preference thingie: there are 6 bigga' Klans and they all differentiate widely: Bad Moonz - color scheme: purplish blue, yellow, ork; theme: wealth; explanation: Ork money is their(or bigga') teeth, Bad Moonz naturally grow teeth fasta' and so they are naturally wealthy in Ork society and because of this, they all have this "rich bitch" attitude Red Sunz - color scheme: _RED,_ more red, ork; theme: mechanization and speed; explanation: Since Orkz are fungi, everytime an Ork is born it's pretty much a copy of the Ork that laid the spores, as such, Orkz are capable of retaining the skills, expirience and sometimes character through ages, some of the Orkz are Mekz - mechanics, gunsmiths, engineers, etc - and Red Sunz naturally have _a lot_ of Mekz and *a lot* of Speed Freekz - Orkz who love speed - so they are naturally bringing Mad Max into WH40K Goffs - color scheme: white, black, white and black, ork; theme: US Marines; explanation: real simple, Goffs are the most masculine, the strongest, the biggest and the meanest Orkz around, they don't like ranged combat and are very proficient at melee, also: Goff Rockaz(remember Mad Max having this supercool guitarist? Yeah) Snakebitez - color scheme: green with shades of blue, (more than other Klanz) brown, ork; theme: primitivism; explanation: Ork Boomers, who loved their tribalistic (and honestly weird) ways so much that they continued with them even in space, master breeders and tamers Deathskullz - color scheme: blue, ork; theme: looting; explanation: What does an Ork gain from a battle? Fun, that's for sure, but also loot and political stance. Deathskullz aim for the former - Imperial venicles and gear are often seen at the hands of a Deathskull Ork Blood Ax(e)z - color scheme: (I honestly don't know, probably red?), ork; theme: mercenaries and backstabbing; explanation: What does an Ork value most? Fighting, looting, being big, bullying other Orkoids and having the most stuff(sometimes also speed, messing with mechs and mad doktor stuff). Blood Axez are the most probable to work for the Imperium or Chaos Forces, mostly for their gear but sometimes for other reasons, and it usually ends in either Orkz defeating the common enemy and turning on their former "allies" or Orkz losing and turning on their former "allies" 'cos they're easier to kill. Because of their tendency to betray allies right after a deal is done, Blood Axez are seen as the lowest Ork Klan - but they don't seem to care There are also Freebootaz - Ork outcasts and misfits who sail the high seas which have no boundaries, and these Orkz follow these paths both physically and metaphorically: they're ruthless mercenaries who serve as the basis for an Orkish navy and are often seen fighting on both sides of an Ork conflict if it's drawn out due to Freebootaz' principles not existing

[@kilwat492]

Mobs are the smallest group, it's their equivalent of squad

[@fluffydestroyer8336]

clan is not a social structure or group size but a sort of genetic trait. a given ork population is going to have members of every clan and each clan has certain personality and physiology traits (for example the bad moons have bigger teeth, making them much richer)

[@michaelbarnard8529]

For Orks, ranged weapons are mostly just to keep the enemy honest while you run up to hit 5hem in melee.

[@jarrakul]

Worth noting, some future missions involve switching between factions, and when that happens, there can be a bug that massively reduces your income after the switch. Just something to watch out for, and possibly see if there's a mod to fix.

[@TheArklyte]

Or, you know, something to add actual difficulty?😅

[@zennim125]

OH SO THAT WAS A BUG. man, my orkz had no ressources in that mission, had to complete both objectives by teleporting some demons directly to the objective with the chaos bois, and then i could complete the mission with the orkz

[@cybruiser57peti]

@@TheArklyte Trust me, it's more frustration then difficulty. Because it's nothing worse then waiting very slowly for the income to trickle in, on a timed mission.

[@AArmstrongDotOrg]

I modded the game around this time and that bug was suuuppperr annoying and is an engine level bug. The command used in Lua just caused the engine to do magic. I think it reset something and didn't recalculate. Annoying AF. Mainly affects the escort mission, thankfully, the others are not that bad.

[@zennim125]

when i played that mission on the order side it was the eldar that didn't have any resources, so it was fine, the guardsman can take care of the escort themselves and it was fine, and i don't think there is a time limit if you are eldar, it is mostly about keeping yourself alive from the orkz and guards aggression

[@trashpandapaladin8989]

Orkz is the only faction which enjoys living in the W40k universe. Let us enjoy this with em

[@TheUfaraV2]

Da boyz just doin' their thing.

[@YeorickGaming]

To answer Grant's question, a group of Orks is called a horde and is lead by a Warboss and his lieutenants which are called Nobz. A WAAAAGH will form when the Ork population on a planet reaches critical mass and they must satiate their instinctive bloodlust by waging war on a apocalyptic scale.

[@yessir6919]

Extra note on the Nobz: According to some sources, Nobz is short for 'Noblez,' and very close to the word 'knob,' as in, knobhead. Orkz are apparently based on dumb British stereotypes.

[@bendystrawz2832]

To add more info: Orks are intelligent fungi and they are latently psionic, so they can't use their ability knowingly. but if there are enough orks, they can believe stuff into being. this is why their war machines work and why things painted red go faster

[@LordRunty]

My favourite bit of WH40K Ork trivia is how much of everything about them is based on belief. A red coat of paint really does make the trukk go faster, because they believe it does. That teleporter pack that they slapped together from an old TV, duct tape and a few vague coils works not because it makes any sense, but because they believe it will work (and probably cause they saw something similar work). An Ork gets bigger and stronger because the other Orks around them believe that Ork is the biggest and strongest. And they also whole heartedly believe that their gods, Gork and Mork, could beat the Chaos god easily, if they stopped fighting each other for a moment at least. And because they believe that, Gork and Mork really could.

[@nonya1366]

It really goes to show why the orks haven't won yet- They don't really spend the time thinkin' bout fings. It takes their nobs, bosses, warbosses, and other biggah orks to slap them around to make them think about things. For a canonical example used: A bunch of orks in at trukk stops, one of the orks goes up and checks the engine and reports back Ork 1: "Boss, we'z aint got no gas!" Nob: "Oi, I'z fueled it up before we left!" [He didn't] And then proceeds to beat Ork 1 The rest of the orks, suitably impressed and understanding that Nob 1 fueled it up, gets back into the trukk [presumably dragging Ork 1 if suitably beaten.] and drives off. Their belief really does work, it just that they usually need to fink about it. Some fings are 'ardah than ovvah fings. Like their guns refusing to jam in their hands *Most of the time Which is impressive because the mechanicus keeps finding examples of ork guns that are more tube than machine.

[@lonesometomb773]

there's also a theory that inquisitor yarrick, who has one eye and an ork power klaw for one arm, is actually being boosted by the orks' belief in him after he's spent decades fighting them and even taking down warbosses on his own.

Can't wait to see more of this! I love the DOW campaigns and since the orks are my favorite faction this is right up my alley! Slight heads up, unfortunately the auto reinforce *does* actually turn off once a unit hits full size. The issue was you couldn't afford any more reinforcements due to being at max supply so it just kept auto reinforce on to fill out the units once supply opened up.

[@captain6799]

As far as transport vehicles go, Wartrukks are pretty good, they are fast which helps transport Nobz and other big boyz to the frontline, but they also have pretty good anti-infantry weapons, I recommend you give them a try at least, also Squiggoths can transport troops too

[@Kriegschwein]

Well, there is no much need to transport in the campaign on most missions, not really. In skirmish it is the goat, but here it is better to build forward bases

Grant, autocast reienforce squad does turn off when the squad maxes out, you just didn't max out squads because ork squad cap is moddle based not squad based, so for 30 unit cap you could have 2 squads of 15 or 6 suads of 5 and both make 30 pop unlike all the other races.

[@drakewarrior1013]

Always max number of gretchins in each squad available to you ASAP. They don't cost any resources (just take very long to max out), and it makes them build (and repair if needed) much faster. Also - invisible gretchins can repair your vehicles in the heat of the battle and usually suffer no damage, unless the enemy has detection units.

Its funny I was just wondering when GGG was going to do another 40k game. I'm glade you're enjoying it and to answer your question about groups of orks and Kooky juice. A lone ork is a boy/nob, a bunch of boyz is a mob, a lot of mobz is a clan/tribe/warband, and when tribes/clanz going a krumping together its a WAAAAAAAAAGGHH!!! Kooky juice is another name for fighten juice which is a home brew of unknown chemicals (probably just fermented Squig squeezing though) the Mad Docs and Pain Boyz brew to keep the boyz fighten. Gameplay wise though it just prevents model HP from dropping below one while the effect is active. Lastly, the Squiggoth is the Ork's relic unit the other high tier units they have is Looted Leman Russ Tank and Kill Kan.

Here's a copy paste of a solution to deal with said bug (no spoilers): "If you restart the mission many times, you will eventually avoid the bug: you just need to skip the cutscene, switch to Orks and restart from the menu in case you have no resources. When you finally succeed, save the game immediately, name it something like "Mission 4 Ork NO BUG" and never delete it or overwrite it."

Woooh!! Grant is playing the Bois!!! Great to see Grant really enjoying playing the Orks and having so much fun doing it. Gorgutz has some of the best writing in all of Dawn of War. I'm really excited to see Grant play more of Dawn of War. And a little lore tidbit, Orks have all the knowledge they need. It's just the knowledge is tied to their psychic WAAGH power where the more Orks there are, the smarter they are. Collective Intelligence if you will. That's why you need greater population in order to get more advanced Ork units and structures. Also WAAGH banners and units production structures have guns on them so they can be used for defense. And the high population is because you need greater population space to reinforce your squads as each member costs one population. So you can macro, just not as much as you think. Also, a group of Orks is called something different based on population from a tribe at the smallest to klan to horde to a WAAAGH at the largest. And a WAAAGH, which is also their battle cry. It's basically a sacred word that means so many different things. You're gonna have so much fun playing this game, especially as the Orks. And you'll learn so much while playing this game, it's basically a tutorial embedded into the campaign.

[@sirlight-ljij]

While orks do notuse warp powers en masse for warfare, like imperium psykers, orks do have some latent warp influence over them. The aforementioned WAAAGH is commonly believed to present not just simply a battlecry that rallies orks around da warboss, but actually contains a chaos component with it, bending other factions to be weakened by the influence of the ork onslaught. To see an actual psyker amidst ork ranks is rare, as they tend to favour blunt strength and sparta style just kill weaklings, this WAAGH warp influence is usually more than enough to compensate for it and not be totally blindsided by a proper warp-using foe

So, regarding the whole question of what an Ork group is called. "Squads" in lore are generally called just mobs, ala Shoota Mob, Slugga Mob ect. If not, it is just simply the name of the unit, Shootas, Sluggas ect. An actual army of Orks (be it localised or interplanetary) is called a WAAAGH. A particular WAAAGH sometimes bearing the name of it's warboss. For example "WAAAGH Nazdrug" or something

Warcraft 3 Orcs: "I'd better be careful not to go too high in supply, I don't want to worry about upkeep yet." Orks with a K: "I'd better jam my supply up as HIGH AND AS FAST AS POSSIBLE to unlock basic components of my tech tree."

[@Dan-bq1dz]

If you enjoy micro, orks in all of DoW 1 are able to run in very small 4 or 5 ork sized squads to great effect- as you can get more heavy weapons, have better morale control, and granular unit control- because of how their popcap works

[@jamesknighton4489]

Ahhh the Ork campaign the best campaign

[@MSDoL]

Grant, if you want to kill something as Ork faster, you need just Wan Zing: MOOOOOOORE DAAAAAKKKKAAA!!!!!!! (you can also paint yourself or your orks red, COSE RED WAN GO FASTA!!!!!)

[@srtfrostbite]

This is such a fun campaign! Hope to see more of it. 😊

[@genHawkeye]

MOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR i love that Grant has found himself in the orkz so fast, he is def one of da boyz, ITS TIME FOR DA WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH

[@franzluggin398]

Absolutely lovely! Would have hoped for a Guard playthrough, personally, but I'll take it!

[@chaosdefiler]

Orks are serious about not being serious. They are always the best tabletop players, either their army blows up the enemy or in their face in tragic and spectacular ways. My favorite rule is still "red wunz go fasta," paint your vehicles red and they can move more distance

[@JodyB90]

Ah, his first exposure to Gorgutz... Brings a tear to my eye it does.

[@Dylan-er9ji]

I'm so glad Grant is playing out 40k games

[@cerberuscypher]

When my uncle introduced me to these games 20ish years a ago , he told me "Nothing likes being on fire"

[@MyNamesJeff493]

Listen ere you gitz. Grants da biggest, Giant even, so he the boss!

[@Mr-E39]

Glad you're enjoying yourself, it's been way too long since I went back to Dawn of War Easiest way to deal with buildings is buy a tonne of rocket boys; They're super effective against buildings, and if you get enough of them, you can just juggle your enemies

[@davidanderkovics5230]

altough i'm sure, i'm not the only loyal Imperial citizen,who would be glad to see the the Guard campaign played by you, but this is also fun (and heresy of course)

[@mutasimbillah236]

The clashing dialogues actually fit the with ork theme. Just think, that they are unorganised and talk over eachothers 😂

[@chron3262]

Ah Yes Gorgutz, one of the best charakters in game history. Thumps up and keep playing. Everything from Dawn of War 1 is worth it...I hope we get far enough to see the BANEBLADE.

[@ariustemod8481]

Can't wait to see more of Grant enjoying his time with Gorgutz

[@Chimeraguard-iv6uc]

I am so happy that Grant is a fellow Ork fan.

[@judahsmyth5398]

for the question of what a group of orcs is: in warhammer, a large group of orcs is called a WAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!

[@Meto_50]

Orks are so much fun, I'll be looking forward to these episodes :D

[@BlazingGlaceon]

Aw hell yeah, here we goooooooooo. Just so you know, this campaign isn't entirely Orkz; Each faction gets a few missions, which is why basically your entire tech tree is available from mission one.

[@scorbiot]

Ork infantry population works a bit different to other factions. You get a cap of 100, yes, but at the same time, reinforcing squads itself costs you population. It's best to think of it as if you had just 20 pop like with other factions, but only fully reinforced squads took their entire stated pop cost. If you left a squad half-reinforced, it would only cost half the population.

[@NoMaDe933]

reads the thumbnail, my brain :"orks Orks ORKS oRks OrkS orks orks orks ORKS oRkS Orks orks "

[@RancorSnp]

Can't beleive Yotuube did not tell me episode one of Winter Assault is already out! Let's go I couldn't wait for you to continue DOW

[@temrozela]

You appear so so happy! I love it!

[@Gorbz]

One tactic you can do with Orks is to produce enough squads to hit your 100 Ork cap, and then set them all to auto-reinforce. Every time one of the boyz dies, another will just spawn in and give you a near infinite army. At least until enough squads get wiped out that results in having a few very big squads, anyway.

[@emmettraymond8058]

I'm utterly here for this.

[@Illianor123]

YAY! YEAH! WOO! So excited for the return. Love this game!

[@Hust91]

The Squiggoths are one of your top tier relic-requiring units, as you might suspect. I shall keep mum about the others.

[@sindrisuncatcher653]

I appreciate how the squiggoths just do not give a single **** about the hundreds of people shooting at them for like ten minutes straight.

[@vfrostbane225]

obviously im down to see more. this was amazing i forgot just how awesome this game was
