ive played skirmish games and there my favorite but ive never heard of gorkamorka can anyone explain what this is. the name makes it sound pretty cool and for some reason warhammer 40k orkish.

It is Warhammer 40k orks

Its basically orks vs orks I think. Something like simplified necromunda with vehicles

Or that may be the wrong idea. I really dont have too much experience with this

It was orks v orks on a desolate (because the orks crashed their killkroozer into it and the explosion devastated the area) human colony world that turned out to be a long dormant Necron tomb world. THEY woke up and killed everything.

Essentially, you had two mobs of orks battling it out for scrap (and the opportunities for further fighting) both on foot and mounted.

The older PLASTIC Ork trukks and warbikes (also the wartrakk models) were designed for it, at a time when ALL of the orks were smaller models than they are today.

There were other factions (degenerate humans and mutie wasteland raiders) but mostly it was orks v orks.

Ruleswise, it (like necromunda) used many of the same concepts as 2nd ed 40k (if not actual rules).

No Killkroozers involved, chromedog. Full-on space hulk.
Also, the world was dead, suspiciously so, and was being investigated by the Imperium.

Eventually the Necrons do wake up and kill everyone but it's thousands of years after the setting of Gorkamorka.

The official races for it are:
-Orks
-Rebel grots
-Muties (mutant cowboys)
-Diggas (human savages)
There's several more added by fans too.

Perhaps other people only play Orks vs. Orks but I've seen a lot of variety in my campaign.

If you're interested in the game the rulebook and sourcebook are available for free from GW:

There's an expansion pack called "Digganob" that adds the three other races but that you'll have to find for yourself.

GorkaMorka is a skirmish game set on a planet that is infested with Orks and some humans that act like Orks.

It is Deathsquads but for Orks.

I would just like to point out that GorlMorka is a much more complicated game than either necroumnda or mordheim.

After some extensive learning it can be played smoothly but the amount of mayhem that can happen in a game tends to get bogged down in quite a large amount of rules.

See: Mad Max, but more pausing to clarify rules.
