Gorgutz is one of the few ork characters who actually gets gak done that isn't Thrakka. He literally is the only reason why I played DoW3 to its end. I'm happy to see him come back.
Plus, we already know that there is a Beastboss rival character in the game who is not one of his subordinates.

You really should invest some time to compile all the know information rather than wasting everyone's time on artificial outrage.

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks actually do not think that purple makes them harder to see. The joke was made canon by Alex Stewart's Caphias Cain books.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe.

Yeah, gotta agree here with Jidmah, getting upset that Gorgutz is around seems pretty silly when he's been a pretty well written character for the Ork faction that also really only showed up for Dawn of War 1 for their expansions and Dawn of War 3 (which barely anyone actually played btw, like Jidmah, I literally only finished it for the Ork storyline).

Dawn of War 2: Retribution had Kaptin Bluddflagg, who was also a cool Ork character, if not as developed due to the constraints of Retribution having the same single player plotline for everyone. So it's not like Gorgutz is the only Ork character ever presented in the series.

So calling it overexposed seems a bit hyperbolic when he's not the focus of the franchise. And he's perfectly able to co-exist alongside Necrons as one of the opposing xenos factions. GW has been able to do a multi-faction war on a planet in both games as well as in the actual tabletop story, so I don't see how the Orks being present undermines Necrons at all, especially when Necrons have historically been the "enigmatic evil" faction that shows up as the main big bad at the end of the campaign that wakes up as a result of the other races squabbling on the surface.

I'm seeing some confusion in this thread as there are good guys in 40k: Orks and Tau.

Source: I like Orks and battlesuits so I ignore the bad parts and pretend everything is fine.
