Its a bit silly but i just dont get where savage alien beasts get these pants and how they keep them up to such great standards. I mean they must suck at sewing and what not so its ridiculous that billions of them have pants!.

I see why the models have them but its silly as i don't think fungus has a giant dong.

**Regwon**

They're not really that savage, they just like killing stuff. They can build machines and weapons, which require mining for metal and some grasp of technology (other that that ork technology works by willpower alone). They also dont have genitalia singe they reproduce like fungi do. Being orks they like to be as loud and colourful as possible so they probably get grots and slaves to make things for them that arent designed for killing.

**vagorin**

To funny

**Rube**

Presumably they have the knowledge of how to create those pants built into their DNA (because genetic code totally works like that). Pantboyz.

Bizarrely, for some reason they don't have rules for them on the TT.

**Gitsplitta**

Pantboyz!! LOL!

OK, that made my morning...

**CT GAMER**

Every Ork settlement has a row of pants factories with a workforce of grot tailors whose tiny hands are perfect for such work...

**KingCracker**

I agree I should make a new special IC called Da Tayla, with special rules having something to do with clothing and a sock cannon.

But uh yea, few things to clear up, Orks are part fungi, not entirely fungi. And they are brutal, not savage. They can easily have clothing made, infact its most likely the grots that make the clothing. And think about it, they sack planets and space barges as easily as you breath, so after they kill everyone, and the looting starts, Im sure the clothing are included in said looting. So really its not too hard to explain where they get the clothing and such. Its almost insulting, as an Ork player, to hear someone think they are too stupid to stitch a shirt together, when they create something as complex as a SAG or a Stompa for that matter. I mean they have the KFF, it generates a force field man... wheres the force field in the Imperium? Or the Tau and Eldars force field?

**WarOne**

And the material for the pants comes from Imperium Hive world "volunteers" who "voluntarily" supply the "material" needed for the pants.

**Gitzbitah**

How else would they get their 6+ armor saves?

Orks are all about status. They need boots, with iron in them for kicking people's teef in. And they would look ridiculous if they were running around in boots without pants. So, any Ork that wants to order around a gretchin finds/steals a pair of pants.

**Alpharius**

Pantboyz!

Sounds like the answer to me.

Anythinig at all, really, that doesn't have us talking about "fungus" and "giant dongs".

**KamikazeCanuck**

Pants? That's what's keeping you up at night? Not their guns, forcefields, teleporters or gigantic-intergaltic-plasma-powered-battleships?

**Frosty Hardtop**

Orks have designed a device which creates a temporary wormhole through the warp.

They can figure out pants.

**Black Corsair**

Knowledge is power!

thye have clothes!

but... that's what i think, and i like to know other's opinion, if orks are resistant to nearly all class of environment, their only interest is to fight, and they have nothing to hide... why they annoy themselves using pants and shirts? question is in the air!

**ChocolateGork**

EXACTLY sure they have the ability to make the pants but why bother? and why are they always in such a good state of repair?

And even crazy savage orks have pants and they live in the jungle.

**Nakis**

Through the sheer power of something in an alternate universe called Parental Outrage. This dark force seeps across universes, seeking out anything remotely dangly and forces something to conceal it, all with the purpose of "For the Children."

Although Orks do not have various dangly or bobbily bits, the dark forces of PO can not comprehend this, and thus demand that if it resembles a human, it requires pants.

Naturally, because units of Combined Parental Outrage tend to follow the Intelligence to Mob ratio, the entity tends to be more stupid that a lobotomized grox visiting Doomrider after payday, it's only orks, and not anything else.

Either that, or it's something intended just to warp your mind. And you'll spend hours trying to figure it out. Staying up all night. Trying to figure out where, and why they wear pants. Until you remember one thing: Even orks like their Levi's. What do you think the Emperor and Sanguinius wore under their armour?

**KamikazeCanuck**

Because pants are good.

**daedalus**

Maybe the pants are part of their actual body, and they just resemble humanoid pants. This would give me prime excuse to follow up with saying, "Da Orks iz Pantz!"

**ChocolateGork**

HMMM so they have different coloured cloth skin? And how come they all tuck them into the also universally worn BOOOOTTTSS

**Nakis**

Boots are simple.

If you can make it more shooty or more choppy, the better.

Boots allow for spikes and such. Therefore, make Ork feet more choppy. Or, in one unfortunate instance, more shooty. But it was generally agreed that he was a git anyways.

**Joetaco**

would you really prefer it all the orks in the game were running around as naked as dante and his sanguinary guard?

**terribletrygon**

I don't think orks wear pants. We see them wearing trousers, but they might not wear underwear.

**Viscount Vash**

Its the ol Alantic pond thing tt.

Stateside Pants = Trousers

Definitely Grots, dems da only gitz wif small enough hands to sew Ork skivvies.

So you have Pant Grots wahay!
Sounds like klegnuts/winnits/klanker/klingons.

If the celts could weave its well within the abilities of grots to do so.

Interesting idea for a diaorama could be here somewhere.

**Kurgash**

I would never take an Ork serious unless he was wearing pants, because if the Ork took enough care to put some fiber on his leggings, he is taking enough care to make you hurt as much as possible.

**Gorskar.da.Lost**

Orks aren't as savage as all that. If they can build and maintain something as complex as Mega Armour, pants pose no problem.

Also, because they saw humans wearing them and decided that anything humans can do, they can do better (and preferably with more explosions.)

**DaveL**

Orks don't actually make pants. They just believe they have pants, and the pants appear! (Whether they're just made purely out of Warp stuff or mysteriously teleported from Imperial clothing factories is another matter...)

**croggy**

dey dos it the looks surfistikated

**FeistierErmine**

I think we need to remember that the fluff has Orks being an artificially created race. I know if I created something like that I would want to give them a genetic predisposition to wear pants.

So that's where my other socks are disappearing to.

Are you telling me that Mister Bumpy, that old monster who lives under your bed and eats socks, is really an agent of the Orks, sending them socks, pants and all other gettups through the warp for them? Mind = blown....

**Nakis**

To an extent.

Because under the bed is a natural location for the monsters of children to hide, the fear espoused by such an area permeates it. As such, it bears a greater link to the Warp. While there may or may not be monsters under the bed (Depending on how scared you are naturally, and if you are a psyker.), the process of a machine that sucks things through the warp has a greater chance of sucking stuff up.

Therefore, no. It's not Mister Bumpy. It's the Mekboy on the other side of the Sock Cannon. And, occasionally, when the Cannon explodes, it sends socks to all locations it has stolen from, due to warp signatures staying for a certain time frame within the memory of the machine. And thus, that also explains how you have socks which you've never seen before in your laundry.

And occasionally some ork bitz and teef.
