If the waagh affects reality based on what orks believe; and orks believe they are best, then why do they not win everytime? (It's a humor thread) Mayby if they painted themselves blue and called themselves the ultraorks they would always win... Think of other humorous ways to take the waagh concept out of context.

Red goes fasta because speeding kills. ( blood )

If you trick an ork into thinking theres two of yourself will that make a copy? What happens if kommisar Yarrik does this...

Ever try to drive w/ a pint of blood sprayed across your windshield?

To add a bit of humor to the thread... It's been stated that for every Space Marine that falls 100 enemies (My number may be off.) fall w/ him. If that's true why are Space Marines always dying in the CGI vids and why don't they have a 2+ save?

They must not be believing hard enough. My Orks *do* win every time, but its because of their pinkiness.

Orks don't lose. They run away so dey can come back for anuver go!

I'd like to see Orky Kommandos that wear camouflage (a wargear option) as the equivalent of Tau Stealth Suits as the Orks believe they blend into the environment.

This is direct evidence of statistics being manipulated. Since the Space Marines always get beat, retreat and call the Exterminatus, they are able to bandy about this outrageous statistic. That's propaganda for you.

Perhaps they already smashed most the orks aside? Or they're just somewhere else....


And if you read any of the 40k novels with orks in them (especially DoW) the orks say Waaaagh! a lot Perhaps at one point they'll just never stop saying it

7 waaarghs in one game baby..... cannot beat that CANNOT BEAT THAT

Easy. The orks altogether need to believe in something for it to work (they all believe red is faster, meks creations should work ect)

However each ork believe that himself and only he, is the best most awesome fighter evar. Obviously everyone disagrees (cus its they who are the best) and so no belief based super power for the ork because the orks as a whole don't believe that he is awesome.

but all orks believe they are better than everyone else especially those pink skinned humiez.... so why arent the better the humiez....

Orks are better than oomies. Well, at least one-on-one.

Damn straight. If you can't hit it with BS2, it's just not worth shootin!

Theres your answer see? all orks believe that they are better than everyone at bashin stuff in the face (which they are) and they all believe shootins a waste of time (which it is for them), but it does make a good racket!

Orky accent- If dey believe dat dis is korrekt spellin an gramma, den why ain't it...

Actually the novels (read: Dawn of War) have the Orks talking a fair amount, and it details just how much phlegm and spittle they produce. This could have something to do with their pronounciation of words.

For all we know they are like "Orks is the best at everything! We is the biggest and the baddest!" Just all that nastiness is in the way.

I've always thought Orkz spoke in a sort of "cokney" (spelling) accent.

Da Green 'uns ah da bestest an' da strongest! We jus' givin' you lot a chance, dat's all. Why else would we only wear shoulder pads for protection?
If da fight's over too quickly den we ain't 'appy!
