Gaz had a vision that the Gods would provide a way off the planet and told them they had to wait, the Orks hated this idea of sitting around and doing nothing which is where Gazkhull used a tactic he just made up called “the beating of the minds” where he used an Orks competitive nature to make them calm down and not kill anything. Told them how any true Ork wouldn’t want to give up and a True Ork can beat anything. So if their tough as they all say they are then they can beat nothing and to prove it Gaz would stand on the balcony overlooking the City, refusing to move until an answer from the Gods presented itself. All the Orks said variations of “if Gazkhull can do it than I can do it! I’ll beat Nothing better than everyone else!”

No. Smarter Orks would know that their vehicles missing crucial parts like engines and fuel would not run. While current Orks are too dumb to see the issue. Smarter Orks would have a lot less use of their ability because they don't just manifest things through psychic magic, they warp reality through a collective belief that this is how things are. The thing about that is that it requires you actually, truly and honestly believe it to be irrefutable fact. I could not make people believe my car built from scrap would run but for Orks it's car-shaped so of course it'll run.

[@brandonvallier4214]

​@@GamerGrovyle I think this ability would just be used in a different direction. If they were intelligent enough to obviously see the flaws and fix them. They would just twist how this power works. Their confidence as a race and warriors would be even higher fueled by intelligence. Their inventors aswell could easily create even better tech through belief it's possible. I think the biggest danger would be them truly understanding the reality altering nature of their hive mind and learn to focus it on mass on purpose towards goals. As it stands now its more of an instinctual thing that happens and I doubt orcs are truly aware of what happened to them during a waagh. If they understood and focused this ability I doubt anything would be unachievable. The idea of the orc race realizing that they could achieve anything through true belief alone would be terrifying.

The truly terrifying thing is that the Beast wasn't even a Krork, just a very powerful and highly evolved Ork warlord. So during the War in Heaven you would have trillions upon trillions of these insane killing machines with each one being much more powerful than the Beast. The biggest wow factor though is that it took an uncountable number of Krorks, peak Eldar, peak Old Ones, a war against the C'tan plus an Enslaver invasion to get the Necrons to chill out.

Picture this: in his journeys outside of the milkyway the silent king mostly encountered orks and tyranids. So imagine there is an entire galaxy of just a massive ork waaagh of cosmic proportion fighting an equally massive tyranid force. So they just grew stronger and stronger over time and the orks maybe evolved back into something like the krork or even more powerfully (witch would make sense because the krork only evolved into the ork due to there being nothing powerfull enough to require krork level strength and having smaller bodys was advantageous), so like in the octarius war they bost each other in strength and the winner will be strong enough to basically just win 40k.

Well, people forget. Humanity has run into the Orks before. During the Dark Ages of Humanity. When human tech was so powerful. The Orks straight-up did not want to fight humans. They had a non-aggression pack with Orks. But, that was millions of years before the event of 40K or even the Beast Invasion. And hard to say how long Orks live for. It is likely those Orks knew Humanity as being the meanest and strongest. Then, seeing the Beast nearly lay Humanity low. That it was telling.

I hope people understand the fear they should be feeling. If these "Prime Orks" are literally anything like Krorks, the original Orks, it's a wash for anyone against them. They're bigger, stronger, smarter, and they have a fine control and understanding of that whole "belief power" they have.

[@Altair4611]

Maybe they realized that if they exterminate their enemies there will be no one left to fight?

[@aeternusthegoat]

the beast was literally on the path to resurrecting the Krorks

[@roma540]

"Prime Ork" as a play on "Primarch" is a strike of genius, NGL

[@TheDamnCook]

No surprise that it took big Daddy Vulkan to win this war

[@tobiasneethling8871]

gives you a glimpse at how messed up the war in heaven was, Orks get smarter and stronger and more Krork-y with increased fighting and war. Even with all the conflict in current 40k, it's still nowhere near enough to make the Orks into Krorks. The beast was only a demi Krork and not even close to full power

Attack....moon. Leave it to the Orks...

[@chuchupow]

Smart orks? Oh great, now we're fucked

[@Lonelyboy0-u5n]

Attack moon was ridiculous weapon ork ever has

[@erlandiljunior8125]

Shit is serious when orks start speaking perfect gothic

[@dsyrdragon3309]

These sound more like krorks than the funny chaotic Orks we all enjoy

[@eugenealsandor3647]

This man plays Total War, dude said Pyrrhic Victory

[@GlitchedRed]

"Pyrrhic victory" is a term that's been used in battle reports and war gaming for way longer than that game's been around.

[@seanturner1197]

The lost primarchs, [redacted] and erased are my favourites.

[@Tone202]

the Orcs must not have been that smart

[@thegentleman9650]

"Had no only attracted more Orks" what is that picture dude, I WANT it. That helmet would be a SICK Reiver helmet
