To be fair it seems like the best course of action after imagining what would happen if the idea for supercharged shootaz came to the rest of the ork population
imagine being a 300yo space marine whose seen it all, expecting a routine Ork extermination with minimal if any casualties only to watch one of your brothers have his power armour blown clean through instantly in one shot the moment you land and realising as the shots keep coming this isn't a single super weapon but all the enemy guns
So, a normal encounter with the enemy then. Space marines regularly fight enemies that can piece their armor with no problem or worse. They all know one day they're going to die in battle, It's not really a surprise. As for veterans getting randomly killed by some lucky grunt, meh, that happens a lot in real life too, that's war. Sometimes luck is really the only thing keeping you alive.
Nah. More that they realize how they're little different to the meek mortals they're consistently lording themselves over. They've been reduced to using actual cover, reconnaissance, and having to keep their heads down, instead of being the zealous shock assault troops they were created to replace with their long shelf life.
@@venom0825 You type a lot while also missing the point. Expecting to have your armor pierced by necrons or elves is one thing but the usual drop to kill some orcs is entirely different. Losing a terminator to small arms fire is unheard of not "a normal encounter"
@bovineintervention276 the enemy bringing a weapon that can hurt even your big boys is indeed very normal in war, Especially in 40k. Ork have shown time and time again that there weapons are very dangerous, logic defying and can melt practically anything the imperium has. They are not an enemy the imperium underestimate. Practice every faction has something that can turn even a terminator to nothing, small arms or not. So again, a normal engagement. Don't talk to me about "missing the point" when you don't even have a point for I to miss.
The Thunderhawk performed a danger close on an Ork strongpoint, so close that Sgt Scipio (the tactical marine sarge from Assault on Black Reach) actually said that it was a highly risky maneuver.
The way ork genetic knowledge and technology works, that super weapon technology wasn’t even “lost forever”. When a waagh goes on for long enough, they unlock more and more tech. Thus, I can assure you, those super weapons can and will make a reappearance

I'd say losing a terminator and a dozen space marines to deny the orks a weapon that one shots you and your brothers is a sacrifice well worth making, imagine if that tech made it off world to other ork waaaghs, it would be a bloodbath.

Well, those Hive Cities were a lost cause for the Imperium either way, saving them would have meant getting at least some production capacity back on the planet, but killing the Warboss meant no other planets would meet the same fate.
Honestly, a Terminator and some battle brothers are an acceptable loss if it prevents the War for Armageddon from becoming super lethal for anyone in powered armor. Not counting lighter vehicles from the guard like Sentinels, Chimeras, weapon batteries, etc. that the Ork weapons could decimate.
Hilarious, given Orks knowledge comes from their psychic link (I.e the more Orks there are the more mekboyz, weirdboyz etc. appear) Zanzag's Waagh was tiny. Like only 10,000 orks tiny, most Waaagh's that get mentioned are the big ones that have hundreds of thousands of orks sometimes millions, like that's (not including pdf or any kind of fire support thunderhawk etc) 100 orks per marinewhich for the tabletop would be impressive but for the lore it's a huge stain on the smurfs for getting bodied by the smallest Waagh in existence
And that makes their extermination super worth it.If it could unlock this tech at this size,who knows what would be unleashed if they became a proper WAAAGH.
I'm just imagined the creating process of this weapon. - zagzag coming to boiz with slightly bigger shoota "Hey ya boiz. I got new shoota that can blow that big blue hummies with one daka". "Sure boss, dat must have more daka, cause it was bigger" 😅
Keeping orcs in check and erasing deadly anti-marine technology is only worth a terminator and a few marines? I would’ve thought that’d be an awesome trade
12 space Marines is a huge investment of roughly a decade or so of training each. That's 12% of a company and over 120 years of training was lost. A terminator is a century+ old veteran possessing large amounts of operational experience and knowledge. That's not a loss that can be easily replaced. It takes around 120 man-years to do the basic induction process, and the combat experience of a terminator isn't easily acquired.
Space Marines don't rely entirely on their power armor, they face threats that can penetrate it all the time. They use speed of aggression and tactics to overwhelm foes, if their armor protects them then that's a bonus.
Remember that ork weapons and vehicles only work because orks think that they should work. This means that that these supercharged weapons were not actually better designed, but rather, the orks just believed that they were supercharged.
To be fair, the "technology" behind superchatged shootas might just be Orks not realizing thay Space Marines are meant to be tougher than the average Humie.
actually it was well worth it because if those weapons spread to the rest of the orks it would be a bloodbath for space marines who are humanities last line of defense.
Supacharged shootas capable of one-shotting Space Marines would attrition their forces to unacceptable levels. Abandoning defense of the Hive cities in pursuit of hunting down the main encampment of these xenos before the Supacharged Shootas could kill too many Space Marines was a bold and daring plan, and thats why it would work, and thats why they were Ultramarines. The best of the best, First of the Emperors Men 👍😁
CORRECTION, It will remain lost until Games Workshop decides it’s needed again lol Maybe even Ghaz Ghoul (probably spelt his name wrong) will be using them against Khorne Berserkers! And other chaos space marines
I don’t think that any Space Marine would ever say it wasn't worth it, they accomplished the mission, snuffed out a technology that would ABSOLUTELY have been a problem galaxy wide had it been permitted to spread, and the 12 died a glorious death on the field of battle in the name of the God Emperor...sounds to me like everything a Space Marine could want and more
I dunno, 13 marines lost in an attack in order to nip potential mass production of these thing in the bid seems worth it. High cost, yes. But if he werent eliminated and these things became common among the orks, how many hundreds of marines would be lost then? And stopping them would be an even harder taks if more rhan one knew how to make them.
Ork weapons not being able to hurt space marines sounds like imperial propaganda. The smurfs just got complacent and it cost them. To claim the orks had super special rare guns is just poor writing.
