I read somewhere(forgot where already) that there were rogue traders who employ Orkz as part of their crew. Just wanted to confirm if that was true...or even possible for an ork to be away from their clan and under the command of a human.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507130/5277174.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507130/5277174.page GMT Orkz as part of a Rogue Traders Crew?
The human crew of the Rogue Trader might have some morale problems though, being told to work with the ork instead of killing it as is proper. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507130/5277224.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507130/5277224.page GMT Orkz as part of a Rogue Traders Crew? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507130/5277308.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507130/5277308.page GMT Orkz as part of a Rogue Traders Crew? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507130/5277930.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507130/5277930.page GMT Orkz as part of a Rogue Traders Crew?
Usually they can come from a variety of sources, Freeboota's are a major one, looters looking for more loot sign up from time to time, blood axes work as mercenaries for hire.

Depending on Freeboota clan affilitation, they can provide a large number of Orky skills from standard grunt work, to elite fighting, to Mekwork, to even Mad Docs. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507130/5277943.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507130/5277943.page GMT Re:Orkz as part of a Rogue Traders Crew?
I could see hiring local orks to perform some tasks or keeping an escort vessel full of them as one of the floatilla if you're in command of a nice big cruiser or something and ensure one of your gunnery officers keeps a spare lance trained on them quietly...

I could also see a single ork as perhaps a bodyguard or enforcer (scary boson) and I could well envision an ork serving a radical xenos inquisitor. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507130/5278028.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507130/5278028.page GMT Orkz as part of a Rogue Traders Crew? RPG introduced rules to play as pretty much every classic ork type. Everything from basic shootas to mad docs and weird boyz. Obviously you have teams of crewmen taking care of (burning) all the spores and snotlings that show up, but as long as you keep a freeboota supplied with big guns and something to fight, he'll be pretty loyal.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507130/5278179.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507130/5278179.page GMT Orkz as part of a Rogue Traders Crew? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507130/5280073.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507130/5280073.page GMT Re:Orkz as part of a Rogue Traders Crew?

I actually just meant 1-2 orkz based on what i read not a whole clan or bunch of them in one rogue traders ship.

Right but even one ork will eventually start shedding if he's kept on the ship long enough.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507130/5281047.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507130/5281047.page GMT Re:Orkz as part of a Rogue Traders Crew?

I'd seriously doubt a Rogue Trader would be daft enough to employ a group of orks on his own ship as crew, it's like sharing a boat with a tiger if you're not a small Indian boy engaged on a metaphorical quest...

I read the last part as "ork serving as a radical xenos inquisitor" ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507130/5283265.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507130/5283265.page GMT Orkz as part of a Rogue Traders Crew? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507130/5304096.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507130/5304096.page GMT Orkz as part of a Rogue Traders Crew? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507130/5304120.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507130/5304120.page GMT Orkz as part of a Rogue Traders Crew?

Granted that the Ork is not a Blood Axe, which is at one point at least turn on the crew just for kicks, which is what most Ork Freebootaz come from. Not saying it is possible but yeah keep up the supply of Dakka, something to krump and that and he stays on your side I would think for a good while.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507130/5304729.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507130/5304729.page GMT Orkz as part of a Rogue Traders Crew?

How could a Rogue Trader have an ork as a body guard?


By paying him with flashy bitz and dakka, of course.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507130/5306229.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507130/5306229.page GMT Orkz as part of a Rogue Traders Crew?

Thanks for that.
