I know that the BL, nor GW, will ever publish books with Ork Protagonist, but I also imagine there are books that feature Orks more prominently than others. Can you guys suggest books, new, OOP, and whatever, that are particularly Orky?
Thanks,
and
Waaagh!

Lots, not lot's. Apostrophes are seldom necessary for plurals. I've seen at least a dozen instances of this today on Dakka and I need to speak up about it.

If you dig around on the Internet a bit, you can find Deff Skwadron, an awesome, over the top comic series about Ork fighter pilots. There are scans of it out there if you look around, or prohibitively expensive copies on eBay and Amazon, last I checked anyway.

Rynn's World is a book about the Ork invasion of the Crimson Fists' homeworld. It features Snagrod the Arch-Arsonist as he's the villain of it. He doesn't get entirely too much development though, he just shows some Orky kunnin' here and there. Orks are all over the place though. I'd like to recommend Helsreach, but the Orks are basically a faceless wave of death and there are no named Orks or anything that I recall. Finally, the second Space Wolf book (maybe third?) has Orks in it, and a fun sequence where Ragnar Blackmane and his buddies end up in a deathrace with some Orks. It's silly and pretty cool. You can find it in the first Space Wolves omnibus.

Thanks Brother, for the suggestions and drawing my attention to the grammatical error. I'm positive I've been making that mistake for a long time.

Another comic you should look up is Blood and Thunder. it's about a guardsman who gets captured by an ork nob who mistakes him for a squig and keeps him around because he thinks he brings good luck.

I think you can get the collection on Amazon still

Melissa was right about this being the greatest piece of 40k fluff

Brothers of the Snake has a lot o Orks.

Definitely read Deff Skwadron. Great little orky comic.

Waaagh The Orks, the 1990 source book was full of great stories of Ork life, battles and culture. I've been scouring the internet for a copy, but I can't find it, there's barely any reference to it.

Helsreach was my favourite one with orks in it.

Rynn's world, Helsreach and especially Purging of Kadillus, because it has two chapters from Ghazzy's perspective there.

One of the Ciaphas Cain books, the first one, I think, has Cain fighting orks. It's quite good. Hell, all the Cain books are good.
