Pretty much.

The Old Ones were attacked by the Necrontyr firstly but since the Old Ones had access to the webway they were easily able to push the Necrontyr back until they were little more than a minor irritation. The Necrontyr did not learn of the C'tan until later and eventually the C'tan with their new Necron slaves were able to crush the Old Ones.

It is unclear if the Old Ones literally made some of the ancient races or if they simply enhanced races which already existed. Personally, given the words and wording chosen in the Necron Codex I would opt for the latter, that the Old Ones enhanced existing races. According to the Codex they manipulated and nurtured many races, choosing the most warlike and making them more psychic to defend themselves against the C'tan.

These newly [or enhanced] psychic races are what caused the warp to become turbulent and turned the existing warp entities into ravening predators. The Enslavers are drawn to psykers especially as they use them to create warp portals which allows them ingress to the material world where they then enslave other races to do their bidding. Since the Enslavers were being attracted in ever greater numbers, destroying the young races in the process the C'tan decided to wait for the Enslavers to thin the psyker population and for the galaxy to throw up new life which they could then enslave and consume themselves and so went into stasis.

Can a lonely ork produce spores if he fights enouth or he needs the waagh! of others to start dropping spores?

Also, something i really wish to know: How many spores are produced by an ork everytime he fighs or do orky things? is there any formula that say if you do x fights you produce y spores?

Can Grots evolve into orks or something like that? Are just borned orks childs (or at least very youth orks) when they get out the ground?

Also i'm curious about what kind of squigs species exist and if there is any that could be a mount for a full grown ork.

You know more about 40k lore than me, so i' looking for your wisdom.

Warnolo wrote:Thanks!

Also, is there anything that prevent orks to be good guys if they can keep fighting and doing ork things?

Orks aren't good or evil. They exist to fight and don't think on issues of morality. They just want bigger fights and shinier gubbins. They could inadvertently prevent worlds in the imperium from being destroyed by engaging a threat aimed towards them ( such events have been set up like the Octarius orks fighting a hive fleet. ). But they dont understand notions such as honour or duty. They're just there for a scrap.

I think you need to use your imagination a little here. The Deffguns that they use actually ARE heavy weapons from all the other races, although heavily modified. This is an instance of where game balance is more important than fluff, but there's nothing stopping you from imagining that the Deffguns actually are looted rocket launchers or whatever. The only thing that actually says that they aren't is the statline, but that can be chalked up to the ork modificiations.
