Here's the Warhammer 40k Live battles schedule;

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/06/05/first-blood-warhammer-40000-live/

No Orks.

Quoting someone who was watching the stream, in regards to what they said, and when they'll be added to the schedule:

"Didn't say. They just said they mistakenly forgot Orks and are going to add them in somewhere after the stream. - FrankyMcShanky"

If this even doesn't sum up the entire Ork existence, I don't know what does. It's a shame, they're my favorite army - but not only are they a Xenos faction, they're also GW's forgotten child.

It's probably because Orks aren't exactly the biggest problem right now - Eldar are involved in the Gathering Storm because of Ynnari, Tyranids are coming in from the north, and Chaos has split the universe in half. Next to the Tau, they aren't doing too much.

If you can't believe in yourself, believe in me! Believe in the Dakka who believes in you!

"Unimaginably ancient xenos artefact somewhere on the planet, hive fleet poised above our heads, hidden 'stealer broods making an early start....and now a bloody Chaos cult crawling out of the woodwork just in case we were bored. Welcome to my world, Ciaphas."

Fair enough, they'd be off your general mind in terms of lore.

Still though, when you're showing off the new edition in all of it's glory; with so many battles, you think you'd ought to include all the armies (or at least, general factions (Imperial, Chaos, Eldar, Xenos)).

I'm curious if there'd be an Ork list for the new expansion that isn't just The Green Tide (not that there's anything wrong with that of course ).

I guess I'd just like to see GW play Orks, haha.

Edit: Mr Morden; True, but as Imperial factions, they could be fielded alongside other Imperium/Space Marine forces. Though I do understand that players of those factions would love to see an entire army of them be represented on the battlefield.

They'll probably pair up with sisters/imperial agents as they not on that list either.

Do they record the shows so people can view them later? I will be at work for most of those.
