Right?

That's a strength that, in any almost any universe but 40K, would be seen as a virtue, something to be proud of and respected, but to the Comissars of 40K's Imperium, it's just another tool for obedience and war-time strategy, rewarded with ab-human status that just barely entitles them to not be killed on-sight.

I have a really wholesome image of a Commissiar cutting out a little golden star from a chocolate bar wrapper and sticking it to the Ogryn's chest, just for being a clever boy and remembering all those big words.
I remember in one of the early IG army books one of the side panel stories about that one IG commander that has an ogryn bodyguard. Their transport has been hit, the commander is in a ditch bleeding out. He sees his ogryn bodyguard come shambling up looking concerned. "Get me the med kit from the transport." "Okay." the ogryn grunts and shambles off. The commander is fading in and out of consciousness then gets jarred awake when he hears a terrible screeching sound. He raises his head to look around and sees the transport sliding towards him. The ogryn comes out from the other side. "I said bring me the med kit." "It's in the transport. It's stuck." The commander just sighs. "Good job. Bring me to the medkit. Carefully."
"Ugg, why did you drag the APC all the way over here?" "Sah, da med kit is in da APC. You wanted me to bring da med kit." "Ugg.... Never mind, go get the medkit for me." Uhm, Sah? Can i get one of da Ration packs from the box in the APC?" "Yes, Ugg. Of course you can get a Ration pack. after you bring me the Med kit." "Yus, Sah! Fet... Fets.... I'll go get da Med kit, Sah." After giving a salute with the wrong hand, then the right hand and finally both hands, Ugg went rummaging through the APC.

To be fair, in the Black Library it's generally only the incompetent commissars who resort to blamming outside of extreme circumstances. Turns out that actually motivating your soldiers works better than trying to keep them in line through fear.
@@vladtairov2721 This, a hundred times this. I have always loved Ciaphas Cain's take on the world of 40k more. That Commissar's are scary yes, but at the same time heroes who inspire.

A Commissar's job is not to 'blam' their troops. excessive blamming leads to low morale. Low morale leads to defeat. defeat leads to chaos and ruin. It is the Commissars SOLE duty to instill the highest discipline, morale, and loyalty in the troops under his command. SOMETIMES this requires blamming a cowardly guardsman, or a troublemaker sowing dissent in the ranks, and sometimes it means comforting the giant bulletproof tank-on-two-legs enough to get him in the transport. A lot of people play them off as amoral sociopaths with little care for their men's lives. But in the entire vast network of the Imperial Guard, the Commissar cares the most. They are always in the thick of an attack. Always leading.
I'd imagine the blamming is mostly for those picturesque scenes where it's all gone to hell and the Commissar needs an adrenaline shot of fear or something to reinforce his command. Mostly when they're put up against like Nurgle's boiling cauldrons of pus and genetic viruses burning everything, a load of demons appear from the sky and start doing demon things, Slannesh deamonettes try to walk up to a load of soldiers, hypnotic aliens trying to get closer or when they are suffering catastrophic losses. It's one of those things they pull out to "hold the line" and on a primal level shunt the guardsmen back into reality that there's no retreat and survival in those situations is impossible, so keep fighting. The trigger happy ones abuse their power and thus find their way being killed by "Ork snipers" or "fell in a ditch of quicksand" but in that sense it can be a good thing because that shitty Commissar was slowly turning his own against him rather than using execution as a last resort to jolt his men. Also it would desensitize them against their own side more than anything, which is something you don't want to see ever given Chaos is a thing.
In a way, if a Commissar needs to execute a cowardly guardsman, he has already failed in his duty. A Commissar needs to be a paragon for his men, and a terror to his foes. But if absolutely necessary, when the only thing standing between victory and a horrifying defeat is that the Guard need to hold the line and someone is about to flee, then the Commissar should take the shot. For fear is as lethal as a bolt round on the battlefield.

You might laugh, but in-universe the Astra Militarum takes hygiene pretty seriously because of Nurgle corruption and because they are used to losing men in combat, but losing them to disease is something else. Chapter 3 ("Imperial Guard Organisation, Structure and Basic Battlefield Policy"), Section 18 of *"The Imperial Infantryman's Uplifting Primer"* details, quite extensively, hygiene and cleanliness that is expected to be upheld in a Guard unit.
Agreed. Land Raider machine spirits are a great example of this. If you look for the grimdark/derp, all you'll see is a tank that gets temperamental and uppity when you need it most. If you look for a bit of light, you see a rough equivalent to the company dog. Beloved by all, loyal and friendly, and must be held back from hurling itself in front of the marines it ferries to protect them. It's not just a tank with obedience problems, it's a friend and comrade trapped in a tank's body.

"Wounded guardsman not keen on charging over no mans land for the fifth time" -Commisar: Well thats a blamming. "Ogryn not keen on entering a fairly large transport" -Commisar: Come on, you can do it, cheer up laddie.
@@noman8412 It's stated somewhere than Ogryns can go berserk with confusion if orders are not baby proof enough. If a Commissar told an Ogryn to Charge and then defend a hill until reinforcements arrive there's a chance he'll become red paint because he used more than 4 words.
There is a part in the Horus Heresy books where an Ogryn is taking bolt rounds and they are bouncing off his skin. They are pretty damn nutty lore wise.
A few years ago I ran an ogryn character in Dark Heresy. Watching the DM react to my assorted prayers and nursery rhymes was precious. "Oh the Emperor good to me", "Emperor loves the little children", and the "Jack and Jill charged up the hill", were all opening lines that broke up the grimdark nicely.
@@monkeybusiness673 I'll see if the muse strikes. I had one to the tune of Kidnap the Sandy Claws that I liked, but it was in the voice of a deranged juve ganger. "Kill all the (enemy in question goes here, heretics tends to fit fine), stab them in the head, beat 'em with a shovel then, to make sure they're dead! Kill all the heretics, shoot 'em in the throat! Stitch 'em up in a sack, throw them in the moat!!" and on as the situation warrants.
In burliest voice- "Emperor love the little children, all the children on his worlds! We be safe all through the night, and we grow up strong to fight! Emperor love the little *whispered* ogryn? ON HIS WORLDS!!! Ogg was a lovely character and I think he was accidentally the most wholesome version of myself ever dropped into a game.
And the ogryn seem so simple but are literally the soul of the imperium too strong to be abused by the grim dark instead the ogryn unknowingly preserves something in the imperium and that thing is kindness from catachan to terra everyone loves ogryn they are the imperial guard’s big brothers and the little brothers of space marines
dude, they are literally mutants, just as astartes (who are sometimes deemed as mutants by eclesiarchy), who will refuse to serve with them becouse they are unholy. You dont get that part of wh40k that everyone are a bunch of liers and hipocrites, but in the end of the day - they have to, becouse survival of Imperium of men just requires it?
@@mariuszsobolewski9839 In 40k, just as in real life, there are assholes. And those who hate these lovable lunks are assholes. There are plenty of people in lore who either tolerate Ogryns or get along fabulously with them. Some Abhumans tend to get treated better than others because they are close to baseline Humanity. This is one of the few areas of the Imperium that improved over the millennia. During the Great Crusade, Ogryns were subjected to horrific surgeries and chemical enhancements to turn them into insane, living weapons for the Solar Auxilia. They were expendable, armored bezerkers fitted with control devices and kept in stasis until needed. In comparison, the "modern" Imperium is rather benign and humane toward the Ogryns.
@@AtomicFire1972 i guess that's like Neanderthals becoming extinct millennia before, so in time i guess the imperium learned from before ancient times and so the way of life has improved for humanity.

Ogryns also are incredibly faithful to 'da Emperah', following any orders with child-like devotion as they genuinely believe the Emperor himself gave those orders through the chain of command. Comissars know well to value such a quality in those they lead.
I imagine this is a more economical solution to get Ogryns to board transports, there was a paragraph in the 5th edition Imperial guard codex that described a common method to reliably get Ogryns on board was having a barrel of rations along with a 'volunteer' guardsman coaxing them inside. Normally the guardsman gets trapped inside but at least he doesn't have to necessarily take part in any battle that the abhumans were going to.
By the Emperor's Light that Guardman is a man amongst men; a living saint; a... guardman that is also unlikely to be showing up hung-over like he/she did to roll-call again.
I love this. If I remember correctly, in the Only War rulebook the Ogryns were given a trait called "But it dark in dere!" that mentions that Ogryns are extremely claustrophobic and wont enter things like caves, basements, ruins, Chimeras, or even smaller than average buildings without some prodding. I can't recall of their claustrophobia was mentioned elsewhere in the 40k books (be they codex, rulebooks or novels) or video games.
Now I'm imagining the Commissar bringing along a special glowglobe on deployment in case he has to bring Og into dark areas. "Look, Og. It's your favorite glowglobe, the one you keep lit during sleeptime. You'll have plenty of light in the transport now, won't you?"
people saying the commissar would shoot them. They try and be nice to ogryns cause having the Human-orks be mad at you on/before battle is a very bad idea
I think people forget that the commissars all come from different Progeniums and are all taught different forms of leadership and inspiration. Much like everyone thinks Sororitas are all bolter blazing fanatics. They too all have different creeds and interpretations of the Creeds. Many of them are actually quite caring.
There are some commissars who threaten Ogryns with violence. Amongst them there are some strong and crazy enough to scare an Ogryn into submission, but not many. For everyone else, a very short career/life and a very unfortunate ratling janitor.
We're talking about simple minds. Getting mad at them would probably stress them and not work so well, even if they don't rip you in half. The patient approach, I could imagine, is probably more prevalent with Ogryn than with any other humans. Why? They're hellbent to follow orders, and you won't have to waste time mid-fight to give them orders or keep them from routing. You spend that little bit of time prior to deployment, lmao.
I bet that Ogryn got a big shiny medal afterwards, he remembered all of that prayer and spoke it perfectly smooth. The whole company can be proud of him!
Lol there are no such things of heroes or villains factions But the Imperium is considered to be the protagonists of warhammer 40k Because they are us.

A marching tune! We go to face the foe! We give them shells and las gun rounds and send them running too and fro! The Emperor always guides us, he wants us too attack For just as he protects us all, we must protect him back! -Prayer #744 from the "Children's Catechism of Compliance"
Better the Ogryn be scared of getting inside a transport than some enemy of the Imperium. Also that prayer was adorable. Like a prayer I used to say with my family before going to bed.
Also the fact one's happening in the middle of a fairly stable base environment while the other is likely happening in the heat of a firefight or Tyranid rushdown. Logistics at the base can be dealt with nice and easy but in a battle you need to restore order immediately.
This... caught me of guard, when me and my brother were little, he couldn't sleep because he had fear of the dark, so when we turn the lights off, i would read some books we had for him, even though I'm the oldest, he is bigger and stronger than me, and this little verse just reminded me of that time... Well, never thought I would remember my childhood in a Warhammer verse, thanks, that was really something that made me smile
They are notoriously claustrophobic and hate complicated, loud machinery. Asking an Ogryn to get in a tank is like asking someone with colorphobia and thassalophobia to free dive with Zany Zibbo the Clown. They aren't gonna. Just not happening.
Commissar: GUUUMMMP WHAT YOUR SOUL PURPOSE IN THIS ARMY!?!? Og gump: TO DO WHATEVER YOU TELL ME TO COMMISSAR! Commissar: GOD DAMN IT GUMP! THAT IS THE MOST OUTSTANDING ANSWER I HAVE EVER HEARD. YOUR A GOD DAMN GENIUS, YOU MUST HAVE AN GOD DAMN IQ OF 160.
I remember that the ogryns in the War of the Beast books where literally described as being coddled by their commissar, as he read pious nursery rhymes to them.
"Ogryn! What is your mission?" *"To do whatever you tell me too, sir?"* "By the Emperor thats the best answer i ever heard! You are a genius! Give this man a medal!"
Well Caiphas Cain was trying to teach his own students that. Trying to help the people under your command overcome fear by leading by example instead of just threating them with execution. Theres also that time Gaunt basically called another commisar a fething idiot because it didnt understand why his men were retreating from a baneblade heading straight at thier position.
@@Makorze great examples indeed. I got audible a few months back and start up the Gaunt series, just finished book 3 and I'm finishing the first Cain book now.
And after that beautiful prayer and rhyme for the Ogryn... He STILL refuses to enter the transport!!! 😂 sorry, I just had to. on a serious note, that's amazingly written mate, good job!!!
the genuinely heart warming relationship between an orgryn and commisar is one of my favorite bits of 40k lore. thier like supportive parents. giving them medals (most made up and for basic stuff) and showing great amounts of patience with them.
I love this, this is so good! Yes, they are about to go off to war, and one or both of them (or the entire platoon) may get las'd to dust in the process, but this is very wholesome. I approve, bravo Commissar!
Keep in mind, these guys have the same health and durability as a custodes on the tabletop, just without the fancy armor and worse accuracy. The only way you're gonna get ogryn to do something is if you make them want to do something.
"Alright, good huddle. Now get in the vehicle, there'll be a few hundred Orkz waiting for you to smash in the name of the Emperor a dozen of miles from here. The emperor protects." "Th' Empuhrah Protecks."
Honestly mad respect for the commissar. The amount of patience, commitment and outright "paternity" that he showed is admirable. Emperor knows commissars blow many more brains for much, much less than simply "being scared of the lil' space"
This is why I love that *"If the Emperor had a text-to-speech device"* (TTS) parody series by Alfabusa and Co. (friends and fellow TH-camrs) invented the term; *"Orgyn buddies."* which is what a Guardsmen regiment from the (TTS parody version of the) planet "Jopal" calls them because they're mostly friendly, big, simple minded, battle buddies. Specifically a named female Guardswoman, named "Pesh" first uses the term when she mistakenly called the (TTS parody) Primarch Corax, the Raven as such because of his giant stature, though noted that he was a particularly strange one, being very well spoken for an *"Ogryn buddy."*
On the way back from battle: Commissar:"....can I please get two happy meals" Ogryn:"wit da rach sauce ples!" Commissar: *sigh* "with ranch sauce please"
"Nice ogryn, good ogryn, sweet ogryn, won't you step into the nice spaceship for the commissar? Pretty please, pretty pretty pretty please? Nice ogryn with sugar on top and some whip cream, nice organ, good ogryn, sweet ogryn?" "Me Grimlock not 'nice ogryn'. Me has brains!"

to be fair, good luck trying to execute what's essentially a human ork. it's much more viable to just bear with them, as they're more than willing to serve 'Da Emperah' as long as they overcome their claustrophobia
I like to imagine Ogryn who serve in the Death Korps of Krieg don’t like wearing the gas masks and pout about having to put them on. And their Commissars have to spend hours trying to convince them to put it on.
There are three jobs commisars worrh about being assigned to: krieg regiments- where the commisar could be killed by his regiment FOR NOT ORDERING A BAYONET CHARGE. Catchan Regiments- notorious for Fragging the more stern commisars by "accident" Ogryn detachments-accidently being crushed when your troopers want a hug.

It's a lovely blend of both
Good luck finding genuine light in 40k, though.
@@Tacoguy1000 Nothing is brighter than Jurgen's Melta blast.
Agreed.
Land Raider machine spirits are a great example of this.
If you look for the grimdark/derp, all you'll see is a tank that gets temperamental and uppity when you need it most.
If you look for a bit of light, you see a rough equivalent to the company dog. Beloved by all, loyal and friendly, and must be held back from hurling itself in front of the marines it ferries to protect them.
It's not just a tank with obedience problems, it's a friend and comrade trapped in a tank's body.
@@aprinnyonbreak1290 I also like how mechanics ships are like, "Ugh fine I'll do something cool automatically and reveal systems you've never seen before for five minutes."
That was absolutely adorable. While I don't expect to see videos like this very often, I think that the occasional wholesome 40K video like this would be a nice treat every now and then.

Ogryns are much more valuable than standard guardsmen... and if you blam them, they have a good chance of surviving it and being very angry with you.
@@noman8412
It's stated somewhere than Ogryns can go berserk with confusion if orders are not baby proof enough. If a Commissar told an Ogryn to Charge and then defend a hill until reinforcements arrive there's a chance he'll become red paint because he used more than 4 words.
There is a difference between a normal human and someone big as a space marine and capable of tearing you apart limb by limb
Pretty much like how Gordon Ramsey handles his kids vs a sous chef
There is a part in the Horus Heresy books where an Ogryn is taking bolt rounds and they are bouncing off his skin. They are pretty damn nutty lore wise.
A few years ago I ran an ogryn character in Dark Heresy. Watching the DM react to my assorted prayers and nursery rhymes was precious. "Oh the Emperor good to me", "Emperor loves the little children", and the "Jack and Jill charged up the hill", were all opening lines that broke up the grimdark nicely.
Please, give us a rendition of "Jack and Jill charged up the hill"! I want that so much!
@@monkeybusiness673 I'll see if the muse strikes. I had one to the tune of Kidnap the Sandy Claws that I liked, but it was in the voice of a deranged juve ganger.

In burliest voice- "Emperor love the little children, all the children on his worlds! We be safe all through the night, and we grow up strong to fight! Emperor love the little *whispered* ogryn? ON HIS WORLDS!!!
Ogg was a lovely character and I think he was accidentally the most wholesome version of myself ever dropped into a game.

And the ogryn seem so simple but are literally the soul of the imperium too strong to be abused by the grim dark instead the ogryn unknowingly preserves something in the imperium and that thing is kindness from catachan to terra everyone loves ogryn they are the imperial guard’s big brothers and the little brothers of space marines
dude, they are literally mutants, just as astartes (who are sometimes deemed as mutants by eclesiarchy), who will refuse to serve with them becouse they are unholy.

@@mariuszsobolewski9839 today everyone is a bunchnpf liars and hypocrits
@@mariuszsobolewski9839 In 40k, just as in real life, there are assholes. And those who hate these lovable lunks are assholes. There are plenty of people in lore who either tolerate Ogryns or get along fabulously with them. Some Abhumans tend to get treated better than others because they are close to baseline Humanity. This is one of the few areas of the Imperium that improved over the millennia. During the Great Crusade, Ogryns were subjected to horrific surgeries and chemical enhancements to turn them into insane, living weapons for the Solar Auxilia. They were expendable, armored bezerkers fitted with control devices and kept in stasis until needed. In comparison, the "modern" Imperium is rather benign and humane toward the Ogryns.
@@AtomicFire1972 i guess that's like Neanderthals becoming extinct millennia before, so in time i guess the imperium learned from before ancient times and so the way of life has improved for humanity.

I think I read somewhere that bolter rounds bounce off ogryn’s skins.
Ogryns also are incredibly faithful to 'da Emperah', following any orders with child-like devotion as they genuinely believe the Emperor himself gave those orders through the chain of command. Comissars know well to value such a quality in those they lead.
A Good Commissar knows the value of discretion.
@@don_musavt well also commissars genuinely like ogryns
I imagine this is a more economical solution to get Ogryns to board transports, there was a paragraph in the 5th edition Imperial guard codex that described a common method to reliably get Ogryns on board was having a barrel of rations along with a 'volunteer' guardsman coaxing them inside. Normally the guardsman gets trapped inside but at least he doesn't have to necessarily take part in any battle that the abhumans were going to.
Yes, a friendly looking guardsmen who gets trapped with smelly and vomiting ogryns (like kids on a overcrowded bus)
Guardsman tard wrangler division
By the Emperor's Light that Guardman is a man amongst men; a living saint; a... guardman that is also unlikely to be showing up hung-over like he/she did to roll-call again.
That guard is also dead the second the ogryns panic. Literally, imagine a bunch of Lennies from Mice and Men
@@fantochedollmaker7030 I'd rather die in an Ogryn Frenzy than being ripped apart by, like, a Carnifex.
I love this. If I remember correctly, in the Only War rulebook the Ogryns were given a trait called "But it dark in dere!" that mentions that Ogryns are extremely claustrophobic and wont enter things like caves, basements, ruins, Chimeras, or even smaller than average buildings without some prodding. I can't recall of their claustrophobia was mentioned elsewhere in the 40k books (be they codex, rulebooks or novels) or video games.
It was a rule from either 3rd or 4th edition, think it was in the 3rd codex
Confirmed that an Ogryn will be playable in Darktide, so maybe we'll see it there.
I mean I'm 6'5 cramped spaces make me scared too I hate small cars. 🤣
Ogryn are from DAOT prison colonies so it makes no sense that thay're claustrophobic.

@@chaosinc.382 and on the Ogryn's inevitable death:
"Pappy Emprah was I.. was I good?"
"REAL GOOD SON. YOU WERE THE BEST."
@@TheKnightOfSmite Read that in TTS. There's no other option now. It's all TTS.
Now I'm imagining the Commissar bringing along a special glowglobe on deployment in case he has to bring Og into dark areas. "Look, Og. It's your favorite glowglobe, the one you keep lit during sleeptime. You'll have plenty of light in the transport now, won't you?"
Og: "Yet suh, I wills but it no make my tummies feel any betta."
This is now part of my personal headcanon.
people saying the commissar would shoot them. They try and be nice to ogryns cause having the Human-orks be mad at you on/before battle is a very bad idea
I think people forget that the commissars all come from different Progeniums and are all taught different forms of leadership and inspiration.
Much like everyone thinks Sororitas are all bolter blazing fanatics. They too all have different creeds and interpretations of the Creeds. Many of them are actually quite caring.
There are some commissars who threaten Ogryns with violence. Amongst them there are some strong and crazy enough to scare an Ogryn into submission, but not many. For everyone else, a very short career/life and a very unfortunate ratling janitor.
Bold of you to assume that handgun shot would penetrate their skull.
would end up getting used as a fucking fleshlight mate
We're talking about simple minds. Getting mad at them would probably stress them and not work so well, even if they don't rip you in half.
The patient approach, I could imagine, is probably more prevalent with Ogryn than with any other humans.
Why? They're hellbent to follow orders, and you won't have to waste time mid-fight to give them orders or keep them from routing. You spend that little bit of time prior to deployment, lmao.
I bet that Ogryn got a big shiny medal afterwards, he remembered all of that prayer and spoke it perfectly smooth. The whole company can be proud of him!
Like a father and child when they are having a bedtime or dinner prayer

@@ofal5124 To be honest, I just can't imagine an Ogryn brushing his teeth.
Better the Ogryn be scared of getting inside a transport than some enemy of the Imperium.
Also that prayer was adorable. Like a prayer I used to say with my family before going to bed.
Also the fact one's happening in the middle of a fairly stable base environment while the other is likely happening in the heat of a firefight or Tyranid rushdown. Logistics at the base can be dealt with nice and easy but in a battle you need to restore order immediately.
This... caught me of guard, when me and my brother were little, he couldn't sleep because he had fear of the dark, so when we turn the lights off, i would read some books we had for him, even though I'm the oldest, he is bigger and stronger than me, and this little verse just reminded me of that time...
Well, never thought I would remember my childhood in a Warhammer verse, thanks, that was really something that made me smile
Why did I think that this was going to end of mice and men style?
"Commissar the emperor will let me tend to his rabbits after right?'
" yes, hog..."
Probably while Og is bleeding out and there's no help coming...
Space marines know no fear.
Guardsmen face fear on a dailey basis.
Ogryn guardsmen: Small tank scary.
They are notoriously claustrophobic and hate complicated, loud machinery. Asking an Ogryn to get in a tank is like asking someone with colorphobia and thassalophobia to free dive with Zany Zibbo the Clown. They aren't gonna. Just not happening.
Custodes: not afraid of anything except Asterion Moloc and clowns
Commissar: GUUUMMMP WHAT YOUR SOUL PURPOSE IN THIS ARMY!?!?
Og gump: TO DO WHATEVER YOU TELL ME TO COMMISSAR!
Commissar: GOD DAMN IT GUMP!
THAT IS THE MOST OUTSTANDING ANSWER I HAVE EVER HEARD.
YOUR A GOD DAMN GENIUS, YOU MUST HAVE AN GOD DAMN IQ OF 160.
I remember that the ogryns in the War of the Beast books where literally described as being coddled by their commissar, as he read pious nursery rhymes to them.
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
Nursery rhymes 40k edition.
"Ogryn! What is your mission?"
*"To do whatever you tell me too, sir?"*
"By the Emperor thats the best answer i ever heard! You are a genius! Give this man a medal!"
be funny if after the prayer he restarted the argument over again saying its too scary and small, like this is the commisars 8th attempt
I've always loved the idea of commissars being more like this. Stern and dangerous, but still fatherly in a way.
Well Caiphas Cain was trying to teach his own students that. Trying to help the people under your command overcome fear by leading by example instead of just threating them with execution.
Theres also that time Gaunt basically called another commisar a fething idiot because it didnt understand why his men were retreating from a baneblade heading straight at thier position.
@@Makorze great examples indeed. I got audible a few months back and start up the Gaunt series, just finished book 3 and I'm finishing the first Cain book now.
That ogryn must've been the smartest ogryn that ever lived, memorized the prayer and was even able to perfectly speak a sentence

the genuinely heart warming relationship between an orgryn and commisar is one of my favorite bits of 40k lore. thier like supportive parents. giving them medals (most made up and for basic stuff) and showing great amounts of patience with them.
Even in the grim darkness of the far future, there is wholesomeness.

@@ImperialCommissarRikart if you think what the rest of the world is like, it's wholesome enough...

I love this, this is so good! Yes, they are about to go off to war, and one or both of them (or the entire platoon) may get las'd to dust in the process, but this is very wholesome. I approve, bravo Commissar!
Wow, Ogryn are treated sooooo well.
Pissing off a 8 to 10 feet tall man child is a VERY bad idea
Keep in mind, these guys have the same health and durability as a custodes on the tabletop, just without the fancy armor and worse accuracy. The only way you're gonna get ogryn to do something is if you make them want to do something.
@yossarian Luckily it is actually easy to get them to like and trust you, you just have to deal with their acute claustrophobia.
If a Guardsman didn't want to get in the transport, he'd have been BLAM'd without hesitation. Emperor bless those big guys.
I want to cry. This is so so so wholesome
Commissar to Ogyrn: oh dear, gorgeous
Commissar to guardsmen: you fucking donkey
"Alright, good huddle. Now get in the vehicle, there'll be a few hundred Orkz waiting for you to smash in the name of the Emperor a dozen of miles from here.
The emperor protects."
"Th' Empuhrah Protecks."
"Would da Empra luv me if i was a worm?"
"... Yes Thud, he would"
May the Emperor always protects Ogg
Honestly mad respect for the commissar.
The amount of patience, commitment and outright "paternity" that he showed is admirable. Emperor knows commissars blow many more brains for much, much less than simply "being scared of the lil' space"
This PLUS the POTION MAKER would be wierdly wonderful 😁
You have melted this Nurgle devotee's heart with that prayer 😆 gotta love Ogryns
This has made Nurgle quite pleased.
This is why I love that *"If the Emperor had a text-to-speech device"* (TTS) parody series by Alfabusa and Co. (friends and fellow TH-camrs) invented the term; *"Orgyn buddies."* which is what a Guardsmen regiment from the (TTS parody version of the) planet "Jopal" calls them because they're mostly friendly, big, simple minded, battle buddies. Specifically a named female Guardswoman, named "Pesh" first uses the term when she mistakenly called the (TTS parody) Primarch Corax, the Raven as such because of his giant stature, though noted that he was a particularly strange one, being very well spoken for an *"Ogryn buddy."*
The fact that the commisar knows the prayer off by heart really shows how often he's used this technique to send these baby boys to their death.
To qualify as an ogryn commissar you need to be a good father of 4 kids minimum.
On the way back from battle:
Commissar:"....can I please get two happy meals"
Ogryn:"wit da rach sauce ples!"
Commissar: *sigh* "with ranch sauce please"
By the Emperor! This is Wholesome.
"Nice ogryn, good ogryn, sweet ogryn, won't you step into the nice spaceship for the commissar? Pretty please, pretty pretty pretty please? Nice ogryn with sugar on top and some whip cream, nice organ, good ogryn, sweet ogryn?"
"Me Grimlock not 'nice ogryn'. Me has brains!"
I'm told i have a renegade attitude when it comes to 40K.
Maybe i wouldn't die for the Emperor...but i would die for that wholesome Ogryn buddy :D

"GET IN THE BLASTED CARRIER, OG!" the commissar asked calmly to the scared ogryn trying to herd him unto the crassus.
Ogryn: Sir, why that ogryn green?
Commissar: That's an Ork, Larry. KILL IT!
I like to imagine Ogryn who serve in the Death Korps of Krieg don’t like wearing the gas masks and pout about having to put them on. And their Commissars have to spend hours trying to convince them to put it on.
The Doom Guy has his rabbit. Commisars have their Ogryns
A whole race of Lennys, and an unusually patient commissar... awesome and adorable at the same time.
There are three jobs commisars worrh about being assigned to:
krieg regiments- where the commisar could be killed by his regiment FOR NOT ORDERING A BAYONET CHARGE.
Catchan Regiments- notorious for Fragging the more stern commisars by "accident"
Ogryn detachments-accidently being crushed when your troopers want a hug.
Blessed is the mind too small for doubt.
i love "for just as he protects us all, we must protect him back."
Dude that line hits SO DAMN HARD and is so poetic. I wish there were more comments talked about it
"So just as He protects us all, we must protrct Him back."

"Now, will you enter the transport?"
"No, too small, too scary."
This is too pure for the 40k universe. Emperor bless Og and his commissar.
Brilliant !
A very good commissar that is, if your a commissar with a squad of Ogryns, your gone be in the thick of it, so being kind means at least they have your back.
Piss the Ogryns off and even Commissars tent to have accidents, You know like getting a heavy bolter dropped on your head, one of them accidently ripping your arm off the usual
The fact that the ogryn had that much memorized is a considerable feat
Most wholesome commissar ever. First time I've just grinned at one's actions. Thank you.
