Erm no.
The Orks are resistant to Chaos (they are too primal for Chaos to corrupt them, but as mentioned, it is possible)
Space Wolves are resistant due to their geneseed, it has sod all to do with stupidity.

Didnt say it couldnt happen, just that they are more resistant to Chaos than other SMs.

There actually have been chaos-possessed ork rules back when. Probably in a WD article, but i'm not sure which..


The original Wierdboy Warpheads were wierdboys that had a daemon attempt to possess them and fail, becoming trapped in the ork's skull instead

Again, i only said resistant, its still possible
The old school Weirdboy answer sounds AWESOME!

Works ok if you're a Khorne demon, as you don't even need to steer to get the ork doing stuff you like...

Slaanesh or Tzeenzch on the other hand...

So do the Illuminati (40k version not the actual organization that's long gone... or is it?)

Actully you don't know that.

They have a box, what inside you don't know.

It could be a way to turn off the golden throne so the emperor can be reborn.

But that means the beacon of light will be gone for a few years untill the emperor is found so they don't do it because the imperim will fall.

Anyway that what I think.

But sigilite did try to fine a way to save the emperor before he died so maybe he did.

IA black legion a super warboss nearly kills the emperor and horus saves him.. Emp sucks.

Gork..

I know these are real words....but i have zero idea what they mean.....

Gork..

The Waaagh! encountered on Ullanor was the biggest Waaagh! recorded and was the turning point of the Great Crusade. I think it's safe to say that the Waaagh! energy of so many Orks could mess with enemy psykers...

@ rev A warboss nearly killed the emperor.. therefore he sucks and is not that powerful.

Shaman wrote:@ rev A warboss nearly killed the emperor.. therefore he sucks and is not that powerful.

Except we have no idea about the actual circumstances of that situation. For all we know the Emperor could have been simultaneously annihilating dozens of Ork spacecraft and large portions of the Ork army and the Warboss blindsided him. Even still, it could have just been a misconception that Horus saved him, and that the Emperor was in complete control of the situation, with whoever recorded the event taking what they saw at face value (as opoosed to taking into account the Emperors psychic powers protecting him or being able to kill the Warboss before he could finish the Emperor off).

Shaman wrote:@ rev A warboss nearly killed the emperor.. therefore he sucks and is not that powerful.

Ghazzy is the size of a dread and he lead a WAAAGH! that started with his one planet. Ullanor was an ork empire of more than 100 planets.

Plus, the Emperor created Horus who helped him. He has the ability to create primarchs, custodes and SM. That's a pretty kick ass power.

Plus he destroys ships with his mind just sayin'.

'plus... i can kill you with my brain...'

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Remember that the Imperium tends to rewrite history to their tastes, and near everything is written from the Imperial viewpoint..

The Departmentum Propagandum is a very busy place

I feel a rather strong desire to punch whoever put that pompous ass Chuck Norris into the poll... same with Ward. Bleh.

Stupidity still helps.

Oddly enough, Orks are no less intelligent than humans. Their intelligence is just focused on war.

How? Care to explain that AT ALL?
You are still wrong though sorry.

Exactly.

Too single-minded and pure of purpose to be turned from it or corrupted. Stupid is just a good, short way of saying it.

Particularly for Space Wolves. "Oh noes, he is throwing lightning, he must be corrupt. What? We do that too? Nah, it's cool, we're just 'children of the storm'." "Oh noes, they has the mutations, they are corrupted! What? Half our planet is overrun by mutated initiates? Nah, it's cool, that's just 'the Wolf'."

Omegus wrote:Too single-minded and pure of purpose to be turned from it or corrupted. Stupid is just a good, short way of saying it.

No its not. Stupid is stupid, single-minded is single-minded. Theres almost no comparison.
And pure of purpose has no 'stupid' connotation at all.

Sure there is, and sure it does.

Guess who started the poll.

MWAHAHA

Yes, they are.

Omegus wrote:Sure there is, and sure it does.

No it doesn't.

A Magos Genetor is pure of purpose and pure of mind, focused on their task of studying and understanding the genetics of humans and xenos alike. Space Marines are pure of purpose, focused on the task of war, but few people call them stupid (even I would at most argue that they're at roughly human level intelligence but with faster reflexes and better memory).

Calling them stupid just because they're pure of purpose would be, itself, stupid.

Remember, it wasn't just purity of purpose, but single-mindedness, which when persisted in the face of facts to the contrary, is indeed stupidity.

But Orks don't do that.

When faced with superior firepower, they take cover. When faced with a superior force, they retreat to get more boyz and bigger guns. Etc etc etc. Orks have a very sound grasp of tactics to make the best use of their race's resources and capabilities.

The Emperor of Man.

If you can control an entire empire of people, whilst only having function of your brain. You're the best in my eyes

No one is stronger than Draigo. He can walk through the planes of chaos, fight UNLIMITED amount of demons, never has to eat or breathe and even the great gods of chaos can't touch him

In addition the grey knights dont even bother finding ANOTHER chapter master.. like someone who is around for more than a few minutes every century because they know those few minutes are better than the full time attention of ANY other grey knight master

Actually, the High Lords of Terra are the main dudes in the day to day running of the Imperium whilst the Emperor is stuck on the Golden Throne (IIRC).

Nurgle.

Nothing escapes entropy.
