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

Holy crap I think your onto something. Im missing more socks then I care to mention. And a dvd that disappeared under my truck seat once. So somewhere dem Orkses got a dvd of mine.

You wouldn't want your junk hanging out for some snotling to come along and bite onto. Pants FTW!

WHERE DO ORKS PANTS COME FROM!

In the UK it would be Primork

Also alot of the pants are coloured like leather and i dont think the orks have the time and/or skills to cure hide for billions of dudes.

And even savage crazy clanzs like the snakebites wear them. i mean come on like they give a crap

Nakis wins the thread.

Yes Kudos Nakis That is so so true

Pants were looted of course

who the hell wears pants that fit an ork? and they keep growing so they need new pants after a battle

This whole thread is pants-tastic.

Well my tankbustas are a WIP of orks wearing the remains of pinstriped suits so there

that's easy, just fight against an Ogryn... then the Ork loot the pants, thinking the Ogryn is a lot larger than a common ork, the pants will come wide.... as the ork grows, the pants will be adjusted...

Clearly none of you have heard of Pantsreava and his Freebooterz...

There is a little-known clan of orks. They call themselves Da Stitchas. They roam the galaxy looting raw materials to create ever more stylish clothes.

I have seen the Tanna Boys fell entire herds of indigenous creatures to create their leather.

I have seen dreads with great sewing machines for arms.

I have seen the great tailorwagons belching smoke and leaving a trail of stylish yet practical trousers in their wake.

Query: Would a WAAAAAAGH be the orkish version of fashion week or sommat?

Only, instead of going to the end of the runway, pose, turn, walk down the runway, it's yell, shoot while running, use yer choppas ya gits, and chase the fleeing 'umies. Armageddon: The Orkish version of that big French runway show.

The humble Elastic Waistband comes into play here, I believe...

At least we now know, where their free boots come from

"Pantz? PANTZ!? In da name o' Mork, dere's a whole Galeksy o' 'Umies ter krump, and yer worried 'bout were yer PANTZ iz commin' from!? PANTZ IS JUST FER LUCK! You iz muckin' about! Get ter shootin' an' choppin' and stop bein' un-Orky! Uvverwize, I'll be puttin' yer 'ead up 'dere on me bosspole! "

But Pants are very Okry as you can see by how they all wear a pair

ChocolateGork wrote:But Pants are very Okry as you can see by how they all wear a pair

Not so much orky, but an imposition on the species.

In fact, that's probably how kommandos are started. One ork just likes to wear more and more clothing and trying different things until he knows how to look like a 'umie and whatnot. Or like a bunch of bushes. Or, in the example of one of the revered ork kommandos, dressing up as a fully functional looted tank.

Pants squigs.

Its amazing how popular a thread about pantz iz.
Orkzes just shout "Dem bigga humies wear lotz a' big pants 'n' metal stuff n' dayz iz tuf, so we needzes to wear big panzes to get bigga dan dem! Iz a genus! Get da tayla boyz, dayz got a job ta do! But, wait... How come wez got dem big space stompaz and big shokk gunz, but we aint got no pantzes?"

NAH! DA ORKS IS TUFF ENUF WIVOUT DEM SQUISHY HUMIES STUFF

Excellent. I think that makes me an essential part of 5 nutritious sigs to-date.

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.

This made the entire topic worth reading alone.

You sir, truly understand what it is to be an Ork

I'm guessing the pantzboyz told the grots to make something they can mount a spikey/knobby kneepad to... but perhaps the project wasn't followed through with, leaving several orks with the mounting for it, just not the extra choppiness... hence pants. And I'm pretty sure underwear is a foreign concept to them but it would be funny if someone sculpted a Nob in "Looted Tighty Whities".

ChocolateGork wrote:who the hell wears pants that fit an ork? and they keep growing so they need new pants after a battle

Those would be called sweat pants. I mean it works for the Hulk, and he grows something fierce

LOL when i first saw this thread i was thinking "oh great its another elevatus thing that has completely torn apart the 40k world from the seams and will destroy everything ive worked for in a paridox eliminating vortex of doom, and chaos, chaos everywhere, but not the good kind OH NO the sorta chaos that a toddler with a sledgehammer brings to your minis, DEATH LOTS AND LOTS OF DEATH"

however after the brain meltdown i figured they would just steal em or use squig skin or somthin

then i loled

Pfft, who "makes" pants.

It's obvious you can just loot 'em, hahaha.

I believe that some Orks have adapted to a slight evolution where their bodies changed to where they do have dongs for raping female prey.
Of course thats all crazy gak that I heard was all speculation based on certain fluff somewhere.

Orks get their Pants from themselves. You know that Cotton Grows from Plants and Pants are made From Plants and Mushrooms are Plants so their pants and boots grow with them.
When a Ork Baby Grows out of the Ground they are grown off of a stem that has a large green mass like a mushroom that is the baby ork. The Pants grow up from the Stem
and when the Ork baby is Ripe the Ork falls off...takes the pants and puts them on and a Ork that designates itself as the parent takes the Ork Baby and raises it for a short time
until it grows into a adolescent Ork. The Pants...being a part of the Ork and a Growing Fungus just like them also grow and continue to grow along with the Ork.

So the Plant is made from the strong Fibers of the Stem of the Mushroom the Ork came from...you see!
