"Human" being all types such as superhuman, abhuman, mutant and mutated.

I would definitely say ork vs ork. Orks always have to fight and sometimes the only opponent they have is a other tribe so they fight regularly between each other till they have a new enemy.

I would say the same of Humans.

Orks.
They are made for War and need it to grow.

Humans are close second. But able to keep "peace" for a while, where Orks just have to fight "wars".

But technically.. orks dont make war.. its Waaaaaaaaaagh.....

Orks make peace temporarly too. So they can have bigger wars.... Just like humans.

Despite what some may think, I feel there are actually very few human on human wars in the 41st millenium considering the size of the Imperium. As the empire collapses this will get worse I'm sure.

Orks never stop fighting. If it's not another band of Orks, it's someone else.

Orks. If they are bored they have to fight within their own tribe, let alone other ork tribes!!

Most Imperial planets have to put down a rebellion or chaos insurrrection every few years. The human vs. human wars never stop!
I voted Human vs. Human btw.

Humans v. Humans. That usually means: "IG/SM killing traitors"

Samus_aran115 wrote:Humans v. Humans. That usually means: "IG/SM killing traitors"

yep. Or even something like the Sabbat Worlds crusade. That's the IoM trying to conquer 200 planets that of which many are originally Chaos cultured.

Orks v Orks or Orks v Humans, simply because of how common Orks are due to being the most populous race in the galaxy and holding the largest swaths of the galaxy.

Orks v Humans. When the two races are in close proximity, you aren't going to have many wars involving the same races when the presence of a more obvious enemy is present. And both Orks and Humans are the most widespread races of 40k.

Orks vs. Orks
There are simply to much of them and they all are fighting for power.

Fixed.

Actually not fixed, you forgot the 'to' as opposed to 'too'. I voted orks as surely there are alot of 'em. Unless it is written somewhere that humanity is the most numerous. Do Tyranids Fight each other?

i have to agree. its orks vs orks. humans vs orks might be common in some peoples minds but orks fight each other more when they get bored making them stronger for the human battles

This isn't necessarily a war in the way the humans vs orks is a war. An Ork Warlord establishing his supremacy over a rival warlord doesn't necessarily mean both tribes grinding each other into the dust in open combat, it could mean the bigger greenskin boss stomping the smaller greenskin boss into paste and asorbing both tribes into his following.

Humans becuz of all the rebellions/ cults/ betrayals/ misunderstandings/ human nature/ etc.

Orks versus Orks. Because there are roughly as many, if not more, Orks than there are humans, who are split into infinitely more violently opposed factions.

I think the poll actually reflects the general trend: Orks fighting other Orks is the most common, followed by Humans fighting Humans, with conflicts between the two bringing up the rear. Dark Eldar versus Dark Eldar might actually fall in there somewhere too, since they're more numerous than the Guard, and have an extremely fratricidal society...

When last I looked, both vareities of Eldar were kinda decimated during the Fall, something neither of them has recovered from. Meanwhile, the Imperial Guard numbers in the billions, possibly even the low trillions depending on whom you listen to. There is, under no circumstance, NOT more Dark Eldar than there are members of the Imperial Guard.

The Guard numbers somewhere in the low trillions, coming in at something like a thousandth of the total human population. Commoragh is essentially a linked network of old Eldar Empire trading cities and estates, which is large enough to contain seven stars, and is said to compare to the largest of Imperial Hives as a mountain does to a termite mound. The largest of Imperial Hives clocks in somewhere in the hundreds of billions, even disregarding that Terra is technically the largest Imperial hive, with a population placed somewhere in the trillions (taking into account the depth of the Hive on Terra, even the 32 trillion figure that I've seen tossed around works out to a lower density than that of Tokyo).

Even the Craftworlds are roughly (small) planet sized, are they not? So even the small, struggling, Craftworlder population might breach a trillion, considering that Armageddon is stated in the IG codex to have a population in the hundreds of billions, all in a thin layer of Hives on the surface of the planet.

Which is still pretty decimated, considering they started out as a post labor empire with a population that could probably easily rival or exceed that of humanity's several quadrillion. Which, on the one hand, seems absurdly high, until you think of just how massive the space they're occupying is (there's an estimated 50 billion planets in the Milky Way, with an estimated 500 million a habitable distance from their stars), at which point it seems extremely small, unless one is assuming a reasonably low number of (known) habitable or terraformable planets, in which case the figure seems as good a guess as any, but it's anyone's guess how reasonable it really is...

In comparison to Orks: we are Americans today, Orks are all Chinese, Indians and ants in the world.

the Proper answer is Orks vs (fill in the Blank)

true enough. just means the new warbosses tribe is gonna be huge and grow in size with each warboss he takes out.

Yeah, Orks lead the Galaxy in random street fights and indiscriminate clubbing of each other in the head but Humans actually lead in WARS.
