Chaos lures and corrupts via human's desires and lusts.

Orks imo are too simple minded to be corrupted , they just want to kill and fight anyways. Thus Chaos probably thinks "w/e just let them be" lol]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235311/647489.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235311/647489.page GMT Re:WHFB: can orcs be tainted by chaos? i assume anyone/thing can be changed by hanging around the chaos wastes too long?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235311/647502.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235311/647502.page GMT WHFB: can orcs be tainted by chaos? 40k fluff on a Tau article once spoke of corruption of different races(this was before the site changed)but anyway it said that orks where perfect hosts as they like fighting and just basically hurting things.Yet it also said that orks are very difficult to posses as they have strong will and are not like Luna stated drive by things such as lust or riches,so I would say they can but it is highly unlikely.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235311/647889.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235311/647889.page GMT WHFB: can orcs be tainted by chaos? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235311/647973.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235311/647973.page GMT WHFB: can orcs be tainted by chaos?

Tzeentch wants change: orks pulling heads of shoulders are in effect changing.

Khorne wants blood: orks kill everything and make lots of blood.

Slaneesh likes sound: revving of chainsaws is a sound. But the cry of "WAAAAAAGH!" is a better sound.

Nurgle likes "strange" joy ( says he is a happy chaos-
god, or something like that...): grotz are quite mischievous.....

Hope this clears some things up.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235311/648011.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235311/648011.page GMT WHFB: can orcs be tainted by chaos?

1. Orks are so pure of purpose and spirit that the Chaos power's realms of influence don't affect them.

2. Gork and Mork beat up all the Chaos gods and laughed at them.

The idea that orcs and goblins living far to the North would have mutations and chaotic appearance is, to my mind, far more likely than them forsaking their own gods and taking up serving the chaos ones.

Greenskins can be turned to Chaos or made undead just like humans, dwarfs and elfs. However, there are no rules governing such things since well... in its quest for a semi-balanced game GW has, in some ways, discouraged less flexibility and creativity in each edition of the game.

But Chaos greenskins have been part of the RPG for quite a while! I suppose in game terms though a Khorne-worshipping Orc or Tzeench-worshiping Goblin or Slaneesh-worshipping Hobgoblin or Nurgle-worshipping Snotling or Troll just isn't different enough from their base form to warrant individual rules.

But, then again, Greenskins have been in rather close contact with Chaos powers without obvious infection by them. Perhaps the most obvious case is the Hobgoblins who work for the Chaos Dwarfs, but don't start getting marks of whatever.

Maybe the Chaos Gods just don't have much interest in greenskins and don't really see investment in any individual greenskin worth their time as any individual greenskin doesn't matter much, having someone else right behind them to pick up their axe/blade and carry on their legacy the second they fall to the ground is what makes them so dangerous.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235311/657272.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235311/657272.page GMT Re:WHFB: can orcs be tainted by chaos? the reason i ask is i am thinking about converting a night goblin army to a warriors of chaos army using the gobbos as marauders. i have something "different" in mind for the actual warriors

Grimgor: Shut ya trap, Spiky Lad. Get ta fightin'!

But, yes, Orcs can be corrupted by Chaos

honestly though, it's hard to find a good conversion of them. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235311/662951.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235311/662951.page GMT WHFB: can orcs be tainted by chaos?

To get to my point- the green skins seem to me to be natural creatures of chaos, only less magical. Like the solid manifestations of chaos that fell from the sky in the great blunder of the old ones was absorbed by the planet and transformed into an organic creature.

AND, as they are natural beings of chaos (and due to their dim wittedness) chaos has never been a temptation for them... that is, because orks live in a constant state of chaos, socially and health wise. They've got enough chaos to go round.

Also, that they have two gods (like yin and yan... sorta) and have no real idea which is which. Rather a chaotic religion... not to mention their crazy magic.

and, sorry for the threadmancy, everyone. It just hadn't been said yet, and I think it's worth it... ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235311/899323.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235311/899323.page GMT WHFB: can orcs be tainted by chaos?

Orks don't have souls, they are a fungal tumor created as a servant to the old ones (40k wise at least) and so they can't be possessed by a demon. But I think that almost anything can be mutated, corrupted, whatever by chaos.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235311/908787.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235311/908787.page GMT WHFB: can orcs be tainted by chaos? do have souls. How else can the Wierdboyz use psychic powers?

Orcs in Fantasy seem pretty resistant to Chaos compared to other factions in Fantasy. Which is more surprising considering how many you often see at one time (Waaagh!'s hundreds of thousands strong). Does a clue lay in the fact that Orcs have their own unique magic system? They are still "Wizards" per-se, but their miscasts are influenced by the Orc Psyche around them instead of the Perils of the Abyss. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235311/909629.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235311/909629.page GMT WHFB: can orcs be tainted by chaos?
Chaos, however, is fueled by Human and Elf emotions. As not only do Orcs not feel these emotions, they also do not dabble in the Winds of Magic, but rather the WAAGH! Energy that they orc mentality creates. This means that it is quite hard for Chaos to influence the Orcish race.

Orcs, if exposed to Chaotic influences, could mutate physically, and even come to worship the Chaos Gods, but the Orc Shamans will still tap in to WAAGH! energy, as the regular Winds of Magic don't register to them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235311/911516.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235311/911516.page GMT WHFB: can orcs be tainted by chaos? def. susceptible and would love to see more conversions.
