or an ork warband that prioritize killing deamon, win khorne favor and reach heaven (meaning fighting deamon till death and get resurrected for eternity)
My favorite is the group of Orkz that were repairing their ship in space without spacesuits. Another ship of Orkz arrives and they come out wearing spacesuits and are like "Oi ladz! Dontchaz noz yooz cant breath in space?" and all the suitless Orkz immediately decompress and die.
So there's a Snakebites warband that catches Tyranids and lets them loose on planets when they invade. When the Orks start running out of people to fight, they start fighting the Tyranids, rangle up the survivors, then move on to the next world.

The orks sound like that yeah but it is their own thing. That's really more for us to understand them but they are speaking their own work language. In the books people don't understand them and if 1 does speak english its throws people off guard that 1 is intelligent enough to talk in the same language as them
Not all of them spin in Place I don’t think. There is this one archery guy that does tricks on a dance pole while shooting the bow and arrow and I’m pretty certain that his pole is stationary.
Let’s put it this way: orks also get smarter the bigger they get. (Or they implant their head to a body of a bigger dead ork.) Ghazghkull is the largest ever seen in the imperial history and actually uses reserves! However I said imperial history, which is heavily redacted, forgotten and just plain wrong. Last time an ork got bigger than a primarch, their forces casually destroyed a space marine chapter, used a teleporting moon as a ship, held terra at gun point, used freaking diplomats and the ork duelled a primarch to a standstill!
If even a single Ork has touched down on a planet's surface, and even if you kill it immediately, there's a good chance that planet will become a lost cause sooner or later because of that one Ork.
Ork life circles entirely around fighting the closest they have to philosophy is what they call "Battle Bliss" it basically boils down to "the best way to live is to fight in the way that seems most fun" which is the origin of Ork Clans to begin with and why no two Ork guns are the same. Ork weapons are best put into categories because of this. Every gun is custom designed to best suit the Ork who owns it. The Ork word for Best Friend is Grod which means "Best Enemy" if someone has a Grod it's essentially someone who is so much fun to fight they want to keep fighting them. To a human with no context it would look like an Arch Enemy but that implies hate which Orks do not feel towards their Grod. theirs a really famous Ork named Gazkhull (or Gaz for short) who has a human as his Grod and of course this is an extremely one sided friendship.
Tbf Yarric ain't no pushover for a commissar, so I can see that the hate being one sided, but a modicum of respect each has for another as leaders are there just not showing as it would seem like weakness.
I would suggest looking into the lore of the of Orc warcmachines. Killa-cans, Deff-Dreads, Stompas, and the almighty Gargant. The latter of which being the result of orcs realizing that vehicles work well in large groups, so they bolted them all together so they ALWAYS work well, because they're ALWAYS in a group.
I remember a scene from The Infinite and the Divine where Trazyn is inside an Ork boarding torpedo (yes, it's a torpedo full of orks) and he describes looking at a control panel with a giant GO button and miscellaneous levers that aren't actually connected to anything. Trazyn then has a mental image of the orks merrily fighting the controls and each other as their torpedo just wizzes off into deep space.
You need to check out the Ghoul stars. It's an region of space so terrible that even the greatest threats to the galaxy can't handle it. Necrons in that region have all gone insane, Tyranids turn into mindless animals and Chaos doesn't even show up in that place. It's basically indescribable cosmic horror in the Warhammer universe.
Blood axe strategies work so well not cause they are smart, but because they are orks. The enemy knows that they are going to fight orks, so they are waiting for them to run straight at them, and then suddenly their comms are down and and the flank is in all out melee
If you want some more epic ork lore I highly suggest a deep dive on one of the most infmous ork in the world of Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka the big boss of the Goffs.
So to clarify, there is 100% a limit on the orks mind power, an ork believing thwy are invincible doesnt truly make them invincible just alot harder to kill, but they also have to truly believe it, and the second something happens that makes them doubt it, the power can go away.
It doesn't work individually, it happens in a waghhh. The combined power of Orks slight warp abilities make them shoot to do more damage or explosions are bigger or mek boys stompaz and gargants don't fall apart even though the engineering doesn't make sense. Its a collective thing. A single Ork (unless it's a weird boy) cannot use his innate psyker powers. He doesn't even know he has it😂
@bingbong6899 yes but even during a waggh it has its limits, every single ork could believe 1 guy is immortal, doesn't mean he'd survive an exterminatas
Yes, an ork might think he's invincible at first, but when 10 of his companions become a green mist when a bomb drops right in front of him, he might start thinking it twice. And thinking twice makes him as vulnerable as any other ork. Maaybe he would believe he could survive that if he was in full plated armor like a warboss.
I find it funny how in World of Warcraft, Goblins are the ones who (in terms of technology) are most like the Orks even more so then WoW’s very own Orc race. From the junkscrap machinery, B&W checkered designings, rockets bombs and all sorts of explosives, goblins really got it down pat.
I wanna point out the orc 'leader', Ghazghkull, scares chaos. They took out his one true frenemy, and Ghazghkull is evolving into a krork, so hes legit scary and scares even the chaos gods. If you wanna see the true power of a Krork, look up the story of the ork named "The Beast" And how he almost took out the empire of man with a single ork attack moon.
The issue with orkz, you can badmouth them, insult them, stereptype them, but the thing is, it's all true. Whatever you claim about them, no matter what, it's just a yes.
@@thegrimlockreaper1279 Krorks are the peak Ork basically Ork is to Krork the same thing a Gretchin is to Ork same species but completely different thing
I want him to learn about Commisar Sebastián Yarrick. The orks absolutely shit themselves just hearing about to one Humie that killed a hug warboss and took his arm. Also about how the White Scars made war unfun for them because they were killing orks too fast.
From the lore perspective, the Orks just have some of the coolest and silliest lore out there; they are a galactic-level threat, that spreads like an actual fungal infestation, that is too busy fighting themselves to really accomplish galactic conquest, then you get into the whole 'psychic manifestation based on ignorance' and that they canonically speak in a bad cockney accent. From the tabletop perspective, the Orks are the ultimate 'let the dice decide' faction. They are the antithesis to tryharding, so everyone loves em whether they are playing as or against them. If somebody loses to Orks, all they can complain about is 'the dice rolled too well' unlike with other factions like the Tau which cycle between useless and impossible to get close to or the Necrons with their deepstrike and reinforcement rules. Simply put, they are too silly, too random and too lovable to be hated by anybody, or at least any reasonable person.

Fun fact, blood axes used to be the largest clan, but the other clans teamed up to krump them. Only reason they survived is cuz thier more smarter. Blood axes is da bestest
A deep dive into imperial knights, the sisters of battle, the votann and Trazyn the infinite are all things I'd love to see you react to one day, your reactions are incredibly entertaining
Cover Alt shift X Euron Greyjoy he is the Cthulhu of ASOIAF. And the vids on the Blackfyres and the real Jon Snow they are masterpieces. They are must watches if you want to cover all of ASOIAF lore. As the books are very different from the tv show.
I wish wes would have put the eldar quote about orks in here:"The Orks are the pinnacle of creation. For them, the great struggle is won. They have evolved a society which knows no stress or angst. Who are we to judge them? We Eldar who have failed, or the Humans, on the road to ruin in their turn? And why? Because we sought answers to questions that an Ork wouldn’t even bother to ask! We see a culture that is strong and despise it as crude." Uthan the Perverse, a controversial Eldar philosopher
Nux, I have another great video idea, someone has made a vid on the Orks VS the kroot, the video covers lore of the two species and shows you just how scary the orks are
Hey nux love the vids ive been watching all of your content for the past 5-6 years and you have only gotten better over time! Also i was wondering if any of these ideas may pique your interest for few series/episodes to do, would you be willing to play yugioh forbidden memories or duelist of the roses redux mod? Also have you toyed with the idea of collaberating with weshammer to make a video on warhammer 40k? Kind of a Q and A session so to speak? And may i please ask if your going to bring back the billy raids? Love your work please keep up the amazing job! 😁
Someone needs to recommend Pancreasnowork's channel for some funny Warhammer lore and also for when he eventually gets to Halo lore. (Also his Halohammer videos would be hilarious to see Nux's reactions to.)
I can't wait for Nux to finish the Lore of each Race and then watch Flashgitz Warhammer 40k Looney Toons video which encapsulates each species perfectly in a Looney Toons manner.
In my Ork army, my Boyz and Warbosses are painted in yellow/black checkered armour. This is because they have fought HUMMIES that use weapons so dangerous that they have hazardous ⚠️ symbols on them. So my Orks think that these colours make them more dangerous.
Orks players at least near me are often seen as the most creative players. Nobody really enforces the "only game workshop plastic" with Orks so many stompas, ork forttess, trukks, and more are often made from any scrap they can find. And often are smashed or fell apart between games. Which fits the spirit of Orks
Everyone talks shit until the Blood Axes use a plan with more than 3 steps. (All 4 steps are “troll them”) “Commissar… the trees are speaking Ork…” This even carries over to tabletop, with Blood Axe Kommandoz making one of the best guerrilla/harasser units available, and force your opponent to deal with you in a *very* different way than they would versus any other Ork teamcomp Hell, in “Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2,” Blood Axes are possibly the best stealth faction in the game.
Been watching all your 40k videos and you mentioned in the video about The Emperor that you were happy the story has moved forward in recent years, I'd highly recommend you do a reaction to Baldermorts telling of the Return of Guilliman. He fantastically narrates near 4 hours of abridged lore, whilst keeping it cohesive, easy to understand and his narration adds such a impact and bone chilling authority that it's probably my number 1 recommendation to anyone seeking to get into 40k lore. While the video does require some context around the fall of Cadia, even for someone with no knowledge of the people involved it's easy as hell to follow and such an incredible listen He also has a brilliant video that details the return of The Lion, Primarch of the 1st Legion, Lion El Johnson, another absolute banger.
I'm watching this again to kick off ORKtober, and the Blood Axe section reminded me that you need to look into The War of the Beast. The one time a single ork did get a large enough following to evolve/grow enough to get 1 step closer towards being a Krork, and made a run at the Imperium. He even gave some Primarchs a run for their money, in 1v1 combat. Such a good series of books.
A blood thirster of khorne is quoted in saying he hated fighting tyranids because there was no blood to flow or worthwhile skulls to take and no glory to be had, just mindless alien ichor.
fun fact, ork teef degrade and break down over time, menaing the orks will never suffer from inflation in their economy, and only those who earn the teef have them, meaning wealth is a sign of competence rather than something inherited the ork economy is literally perfect
There's a xouple of Ork lore vids I recommend. The first is "Da BIGGEST Lies in Ork Lore in Warhammer 40,000" by GimGam Glitzdakka, where a guy roleplaying as an Ork debunks some misconceptions about Ork Lore. The second is WesHammer's "What do Orks think about every other faction", the title being self-explanatory.
43:51 one of their favorite tactics is playing dead. Imagine a squad of guardsmen killing a large group of orks but when they go to burn the bodies, they instead stand up and fight them again
Yay! These warhammer deep dives are my favorite thing you cover nux. I know it might not be your most popular vids but if other warhammer fans are anything like me they will be here for every one. If we cared about twitter drama we wouldnt be into 40k.
I really appreciate how positively enthusiastic you are about everything. With all the bitching and crying found online, you are quite refreshing. Keep diving into 40k lore we all love it!
there is approximatly 44 types of squig, squig are a subspecies of orks (in older cannon they were ork tainted tyranids, but this has sense been retconed), like snotlings and gretchen (or more commonly: snots and grots). they function pretty much any menialtask the orks can think of, they are grenades, auto targeting bombs, anklebiters, battering rams, ridable warmounts, hookahs, anvils, mines, paint, tooth paste/brushes, carrier pigeons, etc. I suggest looking at the Warhammer 40k wiki on them, it is hilarious how many there are and what niches they have.
Can we get a video of Nuxanor reacting to Nuxanor saying 'WTF?!' in the thumbnail? It broke me.... But seriously, keep up the lore videos. Loving them!

Also i was wondering if any of these ideas may pique your interest for few series/episodes to do, would you be willing to play yugioh forbidden memories or duelist of the roses redux mod? Also have you toyed with the idea of collaberating with weshammer to make a video on warhammer 40k? Kind of a Q and A session so to speak? And may i please ask if your going to bring back the billy raids? Love your work please keep up the amazing job! 😁
Nux has to learn about the greatest ork Tuska Daemon Killa
Thank you for another warhammer 40k video
God damn it. Now I want a Freebootaz crew based on the Strawhats...
Zoggit, da Wun Piece iz real 😂
Someone needs to recommend Pancreasnowork's channel for some funny Warhammer lore and also for when he eventually gets to Halo lore. (Also his Halohammer videos would be hilarious to see Nux's reactions to.)
Nux, I can't wait for you to get back to Alphabusa's TTS!
3:55 yes, my animated associate. They're called freebooters.
I can't wait for Nux to finish the Lore of each Race and then watch Flashgitz Warhammer 40k Looney Toons video which encapsulates each species perfectly in a Looney Toons manner.
Nux, belisaurius cawl is literally a peak mechanicus character, he would be a great character to dive into
In my Ork army, my Boyz and Warbosses are painted in yellow/black checkered armour. This is because they have fought HUMMIES that use weapons so dangerous that they have hazardous ⚠️ symbols on them. So my Orks think that these colours make them more dangerous.
How have your rolls been since? If they weren't better, you're not Orky enuff
Not better, but that’s because I’m not using yellow/black dice
WE have got to get Nux into Asura's Wrath
YES.
Fun fact: Orks don't grow hair. If you ever see an ork with hair that's cause he's wearing a "hair squig"
Orks players at least near me are often seen as the most creative players. Nobody really enforces the "only game workshop plastic" with Orks so many stompas, ork forttess, trukks, and more are often made from any scrap they can find. And often are smashed or fell apart between games. Which fits the spirit of Orks
Everyone talks shit until the Blood Axes use a plan with more than 3 steps. (All 4 steps are “troll them”)
“Commissar… the trees are speaking Ork…”
This even carries over to tabletop, with Blood Axe Kommandoz making one of the best guerrilla/harasser units available, and force your opponent to deal with you in a *very* different way than they would versus any other Ork teamcomp
Hell, in “Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2,” Blood Axes are possibly the best stealth faction in the game.
I may have some hate to nux but orck is life
Been watching all your 40k videos and you mentioned in the video about The Emperor that you were happy the story has moved forward in recent years, I'd highly recommend you do a reaction to Baldermorts telling of the Return of Guilliman. He fantastically narrates near 4 hours of abridged lore, whilst keeping it cohesive, easy to understand and his narration adds such a impact and bone chilling authority that it's probably my number 1 recommendation to anyone seeking to get into 40k lore. While the video does require some context around the fall of Cadia, even for someone with no knowledge of the people involved it's easy as hell to follow and such an incredible listen
He also has a brilliant video that details the return of The Lion, Primarch of the 1st Legion, Lion El Johnson, another absolute banger.
I'm watching this again to kick off ORKtober, and the Blood Axe section reminded me that you need to look into The War of the Beast. The one time a single ork did get a large enough following to evolve/grow enough to get 1 step closer towards being a Krork, and made a run at the Imperium. He even gave some Primarchs a run for their money, in 1v1 combat. Such a good series of books.
16:42 nah. The chaos gods do not need faith to survive. Khorne cares not where the blood flows , he still gets power from it
A blood thirster of khorne is quoted in saying he hated fighting tyranids because there was no blood to flow or worthwhile skulls to take and no glory to be had, just mindless alien ichor.
Any orc with hair- is in truth, is a orc with a hair squig
YHEAAAAA BABYYYYY THAT'S WHAT I BEEN WAITING FOR THAT'S WHAT IT WAS ALL ABOUT WOHOOOO
fun fact, ork teef degrade and break down over time, menaing the orks will never suffer from inflation in their economy, and only those who earn the teef have them, meaning wealth is a sign of competence rather than something inherited
the ork economy is literally perfect
7:25 "The orks cured racism...." yea they beat up each other equally
Goddamn i was going to say the same thing 😂😂😂
Anyone else hoping for a hellsreach reaction?
33:40 Don't go round tonight.It's about to take your life.There's a bad moon on the rise....
👏 Well played.
We luv u nux
Now I can only think of the Compressed Avatar meme for the Death Skulls saying.
"Take cover?'
"Yeah, where do you want it now?"
Reminder to go put some likes on the X-Men 97 reaction so he will upload the next video.
There's a xouple of Ork lore vids I recommend. The first is "Da BIGGEST Lies in Ork Lore in Warhammer 40,000" by GimGam Glitzdakka, where a guy roleplaying as an Ork debunks some misconceptions about Ork Lore.
The second is WesHammer's "What do Orks think about every other faction", the title being self-explanatory.
Should really watch Luetin’ first Tyrannic War video. One of the best I’ve ever seen Nux.
Some of nurgles men have peace of mind
Nux needs to cover helsreach
Nux you should do a deep dive on elder scrolls lore. Especially the Kirkbridian lore, it's absolutely wild!
Ork lore goes crazy
43:51 one of their favorite tactics is playing dead.
Imagine a squad of guardsmen killing a large group of orks but when they go to burn the bodies, they instead stand up and fight them again
The Ultramarines are _Games Workshop's_ favorite faction.
*Da Orks iz BEST! **_WAAAAAAAAAGH!!!_*
WAAAAAAAGH
Yay! These warhammer deep dives are my favorite thing you cover nux. I know it might not be your most popular vids but if other warhammer fans are anything like me they will be here for every one. If we cared about twitter drama we wouldnt be into 40k.
I really appreciate how positively enthusiastic you are about everything. With all the bitching and crying found online, you are quite refreshing. Keep diving into 40k lore we all love it!
Finally! No TH-cam drama!
episode 8 of murder drones is out!!
30:05 bruh that story got me lol HAHAHA
Nux needs to hear the tales of... da red gobbo
Orks come
Orks go
Here we come
Here we Go
Gork and Mork is all wee know
there is approximatly 44 types of squig, squig are a subspecies of orks (in older cannon they were ork tainted tyranids, but this has sense been retconed), like snotlings and gretchen (or more commonly: snots and grots). they function pretty much any menialtask the orks can think of, they are grenades, auto targeting bombs, anklebiters, battering rams, ridable warmounts, hookahs, anvils, mines, paint, tooth paste/brushes, carrier pigeons, etc. I suggest looking at the Warhammer 40k wiki on them, it is hilarious how many there are and what niches they have.
40k orc are the goat!!!! after a deep dive of them they just keep getting better
Can we get a video of Nuxanor reacting to Nuxanor saying 'WTF?!' in the thumbnail? It broke me.... But seriously, keep up the lore videos. Loving them!
Just until Nux hears about the space marine chapter based around sharks. Sure he would love it. Majorkill did a video on then.
Well then and the nurgles
