Well... I dunno how proton packs would fare against orks, but earth would be at a 1991 timeline, would the ghosts help scare the orks away? We'd be doomed.

Ratchet and Clank : A Crack in Time
Considering that the most powerful weapon in the game was banned in 9 galaxies, I think that he could just stand next to a weapon vendor and destroy the entire Waaaagh single handedly
If he got the chance anyway. The rok landing on or near him means instant death

Everyone is going to die. Violently. Especially since I just lost both Krille and Galuf. Although, if I can get the Warboss into a desert, Faris might be able to Quicksand 'im.

Orks are far tougher than zombies. Imagine L4D if every zombie was like a mini tank.

The Orks are SO dead. Matter fabrication capacity>non-matter fabrication capacity, not to mention a humanity that actually controlls large portions of the Galaxy, albeit in different factions.
For thirteen years I had a dog with fur the darkest black. For thirteen years he was my friend, oh how I want him back.

Assuming they don't just bombard the place from orbit with lots of roks anyway. One lucky rock hitting a commander basicaly ends the whole thing.
And just imagine what a Mekboy could do if they captured an ACU.

Also assuming that the Orks enter the Galaxy and proceed through it relatively unscathed, and assuming that the Roks don't get destroyed or diverted (i'm not sure about Sup Com space tech, but I imagine it's all pretty advanced, so I wouldn't take a way of eliminating errant space rocks completely out of the running here).
There'd be a lot of assumptions (albeit based largely off the lack of Sup Com background) so i'd say the outcome is fairly hard to calculate.
Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Jak III. Hmm..... Seeing as Haven city is almost screwed anyway, I don't think anyone would last too long. The guys in sargus city with the vehichles might put up a good(ish) fight though. The Haven city guards would epic fail all over the place.
May the the blessings of His Grace the Emperor tumble down upon you like a golden fog. (Only a VERY select few will get this reference. And it's not from 40k. )

The roks are shielded, with the best shields in 40k. Shielded, guided, and when they land lots of boyz come out ready to cannibalize any machines they come across, and steal your ACU tech.
A mekboy would have an Orkgasm if he could steal an ACU and ork-ify it.

LoneLictor on thread about an ork choking the Emperor:
LoneLictor wrote: I like to imagine the Emperor kills so many Orks that he ends up half buried beneath a pile of corpses, with only his head sticking out. A lone grot stumbles across him, and starts choking him.
Then Horus comes across the lone grot, somehow managing to kill the Emperor, and punts it into space.
