    The funny thing about orks is that they can basically do absolutely anything and it still would make sense lore wise.
    Like orks can be pirates with peg legs, eye patches and squig parrots, they can be samurais devoted to the way of DA CHOOPA, they can be cowboy/knight errant fighting crime, becouse in wh40k there is lots of that and that means more fights, and it still make sense. And ork racers want to be the fastest there is, a grot master fighter pilot.

      *HOLY SHIT* That just made me have a revelation.
      The Orks are *THE* most modifiable faction in 40k, The limits of what you can do is only your imagination.
      And what makes Ork tech work? The latent Psionic energy brought on by their belief it will work, *Their imagination!*
      The Orks are like the people who play them, They can do what they want, And it'll work. The Ork's stuff will work because they believe it will, And The players are lore accurate because there are so many of them, And they're doing all manner of wacky shit, Whatever you do can make sense that the Orks would do it if you can come up with a half decent explanation. And when in doubt, You can always say that the Orks think that _____ makes them kill better.

    I always thought Orks were just the comic relief of 40k... then I heard Baldermort's lore video on them. How big they can get when the war gets serious enough. How advanced their tech. How the Eldar have been careful to prune them, and how the Orks haven't really minded because they've been under no threat. And now the Necrons are back and the Tyranids are incoming. My blood actually ran cold. And now, I have honest-to-Gork RESPECT for the Orks, because Mork-damn...

    • @sovietunion7643
      @sovietunion7643 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      honestly i would love if 40k had more comedic relief moments like the orks. warhammer fantasy was sort of a more silly setting at times (even vermintide, the game literally set during the end times, has the funniest interactions between characters and species ever). 40k really lacks this and i think it takes away. part of why warhammer fantasy felt so grim was that despite the sometimes silly moments it really contrasted with moments of everything going to hell. 40k sometimes has a feel of all gloom and doom and that just doesn't do it for me as well.

  • @theodorehodbor5080

    One recurring trend with Orks that I think is really funny is how people will repeatedly underestimate the Orks by thinking they're just animals basically before getting completely blindsided by them using actual 200 IQ plays.
    What's funnier also is a lot of the time these 200 IQ plays happen usually out of sheer coincidence and on-the-fly rather than any concerted effort of strategizing on the Orks' part.

  • @prophetisaiah08
    @prophetisaiah08 ปีที่แล้ว +175

    One of the main things I love about orks is that they're actually a pretty good barometer to how seriously GW intends people to take the setting. I'll point to an example with Guilliman. Sure he's especially broody these days (see the 10e trailer for an example) and he's a badass and capable leader, but he exists in the same universe as the orks, so he's also kind of a goober. I'm not saying that 40K is a setting where nothing is to be taken seriously, but it's a setting where seriosness itself is always at least a little tongue-in-cheek. *EVERYTHING* is dialed up so far past 11 that it's absurd, and the campy absurdity is the point. Guilliman's self-seriousness is kind of a joke. The Imperium's over-the-top evil being the only hope for human survival is just silly as a concept. The drukari's sadism is wildly cartoonish. All the tropes are played so hard that there's nothing even vaguely realistic about the 40K setting, and it's all said with the comically stoic straight face and a quinesentially British "stiff upper lip"... except the orks. The orks clue in the people that are sarcasm-blind that everything here is satirical on some level. Because orks are obviously silly and riiculous, and they fit right in with everything else that's often so comedically serious.

    • @ExValeFor
      @ExValeFor ปีที่แล้ว +20

      I wonder if GW actually recognize that. 40k is meant to be a ridiculous, insane grotesque of a story. I really do wonder if they themselves get that memo? Like all you said is correct but I am genuinely not convinced that the people who recognize this aren't a very stark minority amid the fandom and GW alike.

      There’s defnitely some truth to this especially back in the day when 40k first started but I think now it defnitely takes itself a lot more seriously like a proper sci fi franchise and I don’t see why it can’t. It’s over the top of course but it’s a cool setting and too we’ll fleshed out and deep to be satire at this point

      Don't the forget other examples, like the Tau's technology advantage but still beign too "naive and innocent" to the point they thought they killed the emperor when it was just a chapter master, and when they thought that Imperial Titans were Imperial propaganda, until they saw for themselves a walking church with guns and reacted with 😮
      Even Eldar are sort of funny with how Avatars of Khaine are primarch levels in power, but most of their mentions is about them getting killed by anyone, like in Dawn of War with how their sync kills is about then getting punished for beign too cocky and stylish

    What I love about the Orks is right when you count them out they always come back. Hell, even with the new arks of omen lore, you see the Orks show up at just the right time to lay down the beating.
    They are a nice faction to play as because you can laugh at how hilariously serious everyone else takes things, meanwhile you can just keep sending more bodies - a strategy so basic, that for Orks it flips back around to being smart and strategic. It's beautiful, man.

    The orks definitely are a core part of 40k as well. Chaos is the big bad but orls are the classic bad guys and are the premier xenos faction that reprisent xenos and have the most coverage in the lore even if 90% are used as a way to show how terrible the actual villains but its always the orks.

    Imma be honest when I first heard about 40k I thought the entire premise was focused around "Space Knights with guns fight Space Orks with guns" and for the longest time that's all I knew about it until when I recently actually started getting into Warhammer and discovered that there's ten billion other factions and stuff

    I think what makes orks so funny in 40k is that they are a fantasy faction in a rathe sci fi-styled setting. Orks are the basic danger of fantasy, and are placed perfectly in the galaxy of warhammer. And i think that is why they gave it such a comic relief position.
    It is just wonderful

    It is have been my army of choice since I started playing 40k about 30 years ago. The Waaagh the Orks era Orks were more individualistic than say Space Marines and therefore more fun. You wouldn't see a Goffik Rok band turn up in an Eldar or Smurf army.
    The reason Orks look the way they do is because of a British comic character called Fungus the Bogeyman by a chap called Raymond Briggs who died fairly recently. This was then crossed with the personality of an '80's football hooligan and certain Germanic elements.
    All in all whether or not Orks are the perfect intro point to 40k depends on the person. If you're a powergamer type like my brother who just liked to win even if you resort to Exterminatus if you lose the battle you're probably too po-faced to fully appreciate Orks. If you enjoy getting together with friends because it's fun irrespective of who wins then Orks are grand.

      I think every faction other than Votann, humanity, and the Eldar are good against daemons, inherently.
      Tau have weaker souls that daemons ignore, giving them time to plan, Necrons have no souls and have devices that make entire star systems warp free, orks you already mentioned, and Tyranids have a latent ability similar to a blank with shadow in the warp, and again, no real soul to steal.

    Mycorrhiza & Myco-heterotrophy are both symbiotic relationships b/t Fungus & Plants, so it's not too far of a stretch that GW is just rolling w/ the idea that the Old Ones being biohackers didn't cook up a spore based lifeform that can leverage both decomposition & photosynthesis.
