their was a book where a Khorne Demon was summoned into a Demon Engine while Orks were invading a Mechanicus planet. The demon ignored it's mission to fight the Orks for a few interesting reasons. Ork power doesn't come from the Warp which annoys it, they worship their own gods and don't even consider Chaos which made it angry, and finally their Waagh Energy creates an annoying buzzing in his head. Orks are literally demon magnets and not in the typical psyker kind of way. Meanwhile the Orks saw a giant robot dragon and said "I'm gonna smash that into the dirt!"

They don't need a patron god to give it to them, they just siphon it directly from the warp and don't give any worship to the 4 chaos gods. I think it's because the krorks were designed to siphon energy from the immaterium at a time when there were no gods in it.

There are plenty, mostly people who feel they jump the shark a bit. Lawrence (Spider) from Tabletop Tactics is an example. I kind of agree, especially with the more recent 'ork tech works cos they believe it does' nonsense. I found older Ork lore far more interesting - where the Old Ones had encoded certain technical knowledge in their genes and large enough accumulations of Orks led to that encoded knowledge being expressed. I don't mind that old concept of Orks, I hate the newer one, so I just head-cannon them.

Reminds me of a conversation a couple of Orks have in Da Big Dakka when they're invading Commorragh _(it's a long story)._ The Warboss of the whole shebang touches base with his most trusted Painboy _(which says a lot in Ork society, honestly - the Dok literally stitched his head onto a bigger and stronger body when he got mortally wounded although there was every impression that said boss' rival was going to take over the WAAAGH! they were on because he thought his patient would bring them to better fights)_ and the latter got a look at the Drukhari's Maximum Fun dungeons and said that the people running the show here seriously needed their heads examined. Let me condense that a wee bit. An ORK thought that the people they were invading were utterly insane. Although from context I admit it was more due to said Ork being weirded out by the Deldar being so into the concept of hurting someone who can't hurt them back.

The one thing that Orks do better than any other faction: they bring fun to the actual tabletop. Ork players are the most chill, fun loving players around.

And he won't rub salt into your wounds after a landslide win either. => Ork players are simply the best boys at any table.

[@keegobricks9734]

To be fair to Orky intelligence, orks are extremely numerous but have an incredibly high mortality rate. The overwhelming majority of orks you encounter are going to be only a few months to a few years old. If you put a babies brain into an adult man's body, you see how well they perform. It's not just that orks' brains grow as they get older, but they are also acquiring more experience and tricks. Arguably more of their genetic memory is unlocked too.

[@killer-ox4rp]

so what happens if you lock up one of the boys? what will they turn into after a few years?

My interpretation was that their genetic knowledge is unlocked by the mood around them and from certain triggers. Like the build up of Waaagh will start to make them build gargants and roks.

So meks and doks and stuff like that, which are like 1/1000 or 1/10,000 sort of deal. But if you have 1 million orks, then you have a few hundred meks, and all those meks combined are able to build a gargant. This would also explain why there are feral orks, their population is kept so small they never advance past that stage.

@@keegobricks9734 That too, more orks on a planet mean a larger industrial base. It's weird and funky exactly when stuff clicks. Orks don't seem able to teach eachother, it's intuitive.

10:00 I actually remember from a battle report in White Dwarf where the Black Templars, on the hunt for Ghazghkull, got the wrong intel and attacked the base of Andy Chambers' ork army instead. It's WD258 and I have it next to me. What's relevant here is the narrative introduction before the battle. I'll try to only keep the important bits, so I apologize if it's a bit longwinded, but a quick summary of the situation is that there are two boyz, Gaszbak and Blatrog, in a communications tower at a fighta bommer airfield when Gaszbak gets worried that the equipment is broken. *"Oi! Blatrog! Wake up and get over here! Dis one's givin' out dots all over da place!"* *His hugely muscled companion shifted his considerable bulk, the seat screeching under the strain as he swivelled to face the flickering displays. He ambled over to the instrument covered desks, one long claw picking the remains from his latest meal from between his teeth. For a second he stared at the flickering dots as they crawled across the glowing face of the main dial. Gaszbak looked up nervously at the brute's thoughtful scowl, points of light traversing the jagged landscape of his face.* *Suddenly, Blatrog smashed the ball of his bony fist into the side of the machine bank with such force that Gaszbak nearly fell out of his chair. Leaning forward, the larger ork scrutinised the dial for a long moment before turning to face Gaszbak. The readings were still there, and the old ork's face was split into a hideous grin.* *"Gaszbak, it's working alright. We're under attack! Sound da alarms!"* Of course, ork warbands differ so greatly from each other that (even when they're from the same klan) each separate warband might as well be its own unique culture with its own unique customs and rules, so there aren't many things that are true for all of them, but at least in this case, it's not that orks don't have alarms, but rather that to them it's a good thing.

See, da meanin’ o’ life, it ain’t about dem fancy words an’ thinkin’ too much. It’s simple, like a good choppa. Life’s about fightin’, winnin’, an’ gettin’ more dakka. We Orks got it right. We know life’s a big ol’ scrap, an’ da strongest comes out on top. Dat’s what Gork an’ Mork teach us, innit? Fight hard, fight smart, an’ keep fightin’ till ya can’t fight no more. Dat’s da Orky way. But den ya got all dem humies, Eldar, an’ other weedy gits. Dey all think too much, always askin’ questions, always pokin’ at stuff wot shouldn’t be poked at. Dey wanna know everythin’, like “What’s out dere in da stars?” or “Why do we exist?” or “What’s da point o’ all dis?” Pah! What’s da point? Da point’s in da end of me choppa, dat’s what! Humies, dey got dis thing called curiosity. It’s like a squig wot keeps bitin’ at dere brains, makin’ ‘em wanna find out more an’ more. But da more dey find out, da more dey realize how much dey don’t know. It drives ‘em mad, makes ‘em do all sorts o’ stupid fings. Like makin’ big machines dey can’t control, or muckin’ about with stuff dat’s best left alone, like warp magic an’ all dat. Take da humies, fer example. Dey got all dere big cities an’ tech, tinkin’ dey’re so clever. But da more dey build, da more problems dey make. Dey keep pushin’ an’ pushin’, wantin’ more power, more knowledge. An’ den, wham! Somethin’ goes wrong. Dere machines go bonkers, dere cities fall apart, an’ dere whole society goes up in smoke. Seen it happen a million times. It’s like dey can’t help it. Dey’re too curious fer dere own good. An’ don’t get me started on da Eldar. Dey thought dey were so clever, too. Dey wanted to know all da secrets o’ da universe. But dere curiosity led ‘em straight to Slaanesh, an’ look wot happened to dem. Now dey’re a dyin’ race, clingin’ to dere craftworlds, always runnin’ from da past dey created. All because dey couldn’t leave well enough alone. An’ why’s dat happen, ya might ask? It’s ‘cause all dese gits are ignorant. Dey don’t know da real truth, da Orky truth. Dey fink dey can control everythin’, dat dey can understand everythin’. But da universe is too big, too wild. It’s like a big squiggly beast wot can’t be tamed. Dey try to cage it, but it always breaks free, an’ when it does, it’s a right proper mess. See, we Orks, we don’t fall fer dat trap. We know da universe is mad an’ wild, an’ we love it fer dat. We don’t try to change it, we just live in it, fight in it, an’ enjoy da ride. We’re curious, sure, but in a different way. We wanna know how to make a bigger boom, how to build a faster trukk, how to smash our enemies better. Dat’s good curiosity. Dat’s useful curiosity. But dese humies an’ Eldar, dey’re always lookin’ fer somethin’ deeper, somethin’ more meanin’ful. Dey don’t realize dere ain’t nothin’ more meanin’ful than a good scrap. Dey’re ignorant of da simple truths. Dey think too much, and in da end, it’s dat thinkin’ wot kills ‘em. Every society, every empire, every big civilization, dey all fall in da end. It’s da way of fings. Dey get too big fer dere boots, too curious, an’ too ignorant. Dey can’t handle da truth dat life’s just a big fight, an’ in da end, it’s da strongest, da smartest, an’ da most cunning wot survive. So, boyz, remember dis: don’t be like dem humies an’ Eldar. Don’t get caught up in all dat thinkin’ an’ questionin’. Keep fightin’, keep winnin’, an’ enjoy da ride. Dat’s da meanin’ o’ life. Dat’s da Orky way. An’ as long as we remember dat, we’ll keep goin’, no matter wot. WAAAGH!!!

I think Majorkill understands his content doesn’t compare in that regard. Additionally, Majorkill’s merchandise far, FAR overshadows Weshammer’s, which I think Wes would certainly agree on. Majorkill did make a mistake when he released that video, and he regrets it. But he’s still doing his thing and so is Wes. Both creators serve a purpose on KZbin, both love Warhammer, both deserve our respect and admiration.

[@marcomarterer7232]

I never thought about this before but as both Eldar and Orcs are created as weapons against the Necrons by the old ones they should also, at least, be subconsciously driven to support or ignore each other while being drawn to the Necrons as their arch- apex- and natural-enemies.

[@LeoLau-ip9bv]

hmm

[@nexxusx]

They were never given any sort of programmed imperative like that. Orkz were essentially a bio warfare weapon intended to fire and forget, then self-replicate and long term harass enemies. They were never intended to develop much of a "culture" or anything, and they werent just used against one type of enemy I suspect. It wouldn't do if your bioweapon decided to up and leave its target because of subliminal programming that made it prefer another target. Instead they just like to fight...... anything. Literally anything. The old ones would probably be shocked that either orks or eldar are still alive all these millions of years later. Their creations outlived them by a fuckin lot.

You talked about the Orks hating the Eldar, but you missed out a few things that you can actually appreciate. For a start, the red ones go faster. PROPER orky. Also unlike Fishbois and Humies they aren't afraid to get stuck in and get choppy! And of course, you used a picture of a Striking Scorpion (or possibly a SS themed Autarch) to represent them. Scorpions are the MOST orky of all Squishies. First off, they're green, which is the best colour. Also, they are dead choppy, like REALLY choppy. In fact, they are so choppy that even their DAKKA is choppy! And lest we forget they even have dakka ON THEIR FACE! That they use while they get choppy! And if anyone can appreciate that then it'd definitely be an Ork!

[@Hebwastaken]

Do you think Orks aren’t as excited about fighting Aeldari because of a genetic remnant put there by The Old Ones to recognize friend/foe during The War in Heaven?

[@1993rnicholson]

Could be a thing but I think its more a social issue with the Eldar standard combat method being be fast and special tactics

[@Toxichobbit.]

It could be and I like the idea, but I doubt it. Everything about the way the Aeldari behave is due to their society, which is post War in Heaven. They hit and run because they are a dying race. They're scared of death because of Slannesh. They are focussed and joyless when fighting as a way to control their psyche and prevent a second Fall. These are all things that the Orks dislike and all of them are the result of the Fall, which was a long time after the War in Heaven. The only thing that (probably) stayed the same is their technology. It's also worth considering that the Orks were almost a different species back them. Information is difficult to find, but from what I've read they were superior to modern Orks in every way, and modern Orks can get intelligent enough to understand concepts such as negotiating, alliances and fighting alongside allies without killing them. In older lore, Blood Axes and Freebootaz regularly worked as mercenaries for more pragmatic Imperial commanders. I don't know the validity of that anymore given GW have reduced the subtlety of the lore and made everything more black and white. But the point is that Orks are capable, even now in their devolved state, of allying with other races and not turning on them in the heat of battle. So I'd imagine back when they were Krork with all the superior intelligence, technology and tactics that entails, they wouldn't have needed an inbuilt genetic IFF.

[@nexxusx]

They probably dislike fighting Raven Guard, or White Scars too. Any faction with hit and run/covert operations doesnt quiet scratch the itch the orkz have for combat. White Scars would be tons of fun for the speed obsessed clanz but probably irritating for the majority of orkz. They dont mind the use of kommandos and such a little bit, but to build an entire combat doctrine around that kind of stuff is not very orky and thus unpleasant for orkz.

[@1993rnicholson]

@@nexxusx yeah that requires a "not your usual" orky boyz

[@briankuczynski6884]

I feel like most of the Ork/Custodes interaction would be around the War of the Beast, as opposed to in the current setting post edict of restraint. And I'd expect da boyz to not really like the goldies because they don't talk much, like the tinnies.

[@user-ck6qb1qz9g]

On the subject of the Votann, I think the orkz would appreciate their close-range firepower and solid, imperial-style tech, even if it is all a little small. However, on a larger scale, I think the orkz opinions on the Kyn would depend on what they were up to. A mining fleet would be as cowardly as the scrawnies, refusing to waste any kind of resources whatsoever and generally being very irritating. On the other hand, if you manage to tag a few of those mining ships, then a whole grudgeband of those stunties will show up and fight to the death like Gork and Mork intended, and be overall far more entertaining. I would imagine orkz being rather confused by this disparity, but nonetheless they attack Kyn whenever they get the chance in the hopes of a grudge being declared so they can get some proper krumpin' in.

This is probably not gonna get noticed, but I like Orkz the most lore wise as they are a comedic side to the tragic grimdark reality of warhammer. But I also love them for the reason that they do not mind allying themselves with the other factions if there is a bigger army to krump. My favourite example is the time where the former enemies guardsman general and the Blood axes(?) Ork Warboss decided to become allies to krump a tyranids fleet that rudely interrupted the fight. I didn't read the story myself yet, but from what I have heard it ended with the 2 former enemies having some kind of friendship with eachother as even the common guardsmen would compete with the Ork boyz for games... It does hurt me to hear how it ended for them though. And by chance if you do read this Wes, could you make a video about more of such examples?
