I would say that nothing would happen without another UN Security Council vote.

Meaning that any of the 5 permanent members would be able to veto any decision while trying to steal technology / negociate with the warboss / backstab the first attacked country / duplicate weirdboyz / whatever...

Pretty sure one Warboss + warband could take out most of earth in about 6 months and that would be factoring in how lazy him and his boyz would be from such lax fighting. Earth is not a hostile enough planet for it's weather to even really slow down orks and cause them to die of thirst or anything of the sort. I feel we would try our damnest to scientifically understand them after the first contact in desperate hopes to kill them more effectively, who knows maybe we'd learn a few things but I think by the time anything more prudent than "shoot them in the brain ... alot" we'd of lost a large portion of our population infact only through the use of Auspex or equivalent would we even learn how they reproduce so odds are we would make mistakes when we started biopsies or assume they are dead when they suddenly wake up and kill a doctor all horror movie style.

Earth would be dead in so many ways and i shudder to think but it stands to chance with how advanced 40k is a Big mek would consider all our toys and tech child'splay to tap into. *shudder* i don't even want to think would happen if Orks found 4chan.

If we are too weedy they won't bother to kill us. Will just be slaves.

Every time I hear "in my opinion" or "just my opinion" makes me want to strangle a puppy. People use their opinions as a shield that other poeple can't critisize and that is bs.

If you can't defend or won't defend your opinion then that "opinion" is bs. Stop trying to tip-toe and defend what you believe in.

After the first encounter, they would bastardize our technology, and we would see custom orkish navy ships, M1 Abrahams and of course pimped up limos.

Our soldiers arnt even up to the quality of Cadian soldiers.

The most elite soldiers on the planet, (pretty much all of NATO's infantry, Russia, maybe China) would have the same stats in every way as Imperial Guardsmen (Flak Armor, Lasguns)


The combined might of every single nation on earth in an organized fashion might be able to beat an AVERAGE size Waaagh but the cost would be crazy high and thats assuming all the nations are actually able to combine their might properly.

As pointed out before, an average sized Waagh! would probably outnumber humanity. And they are all soldiers, we are not.

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.

Human teef are puny and break easy thus the orks consider them worthless, a shark on the other hand!

Ultimately an "average" size orkish waaaagh would be completely unchecked by anything we have seen in modern wars short of WMD's Should the planet become that desperate it is probably already too late and as i said, it only compounds the issue. It's a basic fact of life even in 40k once orks land that planet will never know a time without war again.

Considering that Thrakka's skin can't be penetrated by bolter rounds, I doubt that one of our bullets would do much more than draw blood on a warboss. Taking a bullet to the head is pretty much a nobz' rite of passage.

Besides the fact I disagree with you and I would have said British SAS I see I miss typed.

By the most elite I meant of the basic infantry, not our special forces. My bad. Im not even distinguishing between Marines and Army, I just meant the grunts of nations

Ah the basic grunts hmm then pretty much who ever is the best equipped with the most numbers I guess, so you're right with that it would be china, USA, etc. however as the australian SAS train the British SAS I don't think they could be better or they would train us!

Because we'd figure out a warboss = victory over the orks, a feral alien race. Ontop of that i am damn sure wherever the warboss goes pure war follows him. if you are going to say our modern day snipers come even close to 40k asassins Imma smack you upside yo head son. That gun Might... MIGHT be strength 5, eavy armor should provide pretty damn good protection against it not to mention i highly doubt sniping a boss in the head would to much more than piss him off Royally.

and considering how morally supporting earth is to orkish ego boosts, i would doubt any defeat would demoralize them long at all so much easy pickings

If we can a sniper close enough to spot the warboss, it means we can easily send a very accurate ICBM on said boss, should the sniping fails, plan B.

I heard that Thrakas WARGHH on Armageddon was probably one of the largest Imperium has faced since it's foundation and as I understood it the Orks numbered from 2.5 to 3.5 million Ork boyz. That is not over 7 billion Humans Earth is having today.

CORRECTION: Maximum number of Orks during Armageddon engagement was 3.798.000 ( and that is if e count max number for every Ork in exactly 1266 warbands that were on Armageddon during 3'rd war ). And that is still not close enough our numbers today.

This is OT, but in Canada do you get asked in the psych eval at the start 'when you find yourself at the edge of a building or another large drop, do you feel the urge to jump?'

But on topic, we'd be rooted. Most of the ways to deal with them involve us destroying chunks of our own world. We would be doomed.
