The HH siege on Terra was pretty epic and surely must have been 'felt' by Orks. Alternatively how about any Ork spores making it to Terra or surrounding worlds?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654380/7941737.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654380/7941737.page GMT Have Orks ever attacked Terra and if not, then why not? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654380/7941756.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654380/7941756.page GMT Have Orks ever attacked Terra and if not, then why not?
Would Orks have enough common sense to know it's suicide and therefore not try it, or merely a matter of they've not got to it yet?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654380/7941844.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654380/7941844.page GMT Have Orks ever attacked Terra and if not, then why not? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654380/7941869.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654380/7941869.page GMT Have Orks ever attacked Terra and if not, then why not?
Also since Orks are pretty interested in just about any brawl, they are willing to dive into it basically anywhere. If they're closer, they'd rather just head to the Octarius War and jump into the proper fightin' with 'Nids, or into the party on Armageddon where they have a significant foothold to just jump into the fighting right away.

I'm not well-versed in Ork lore, so perhaps there is a specific reason - and a number of other major Ork conflicts I'm sure.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654380/7941881.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654380/7941881.page GMT Have Orks ever attacked Terra and if not, then why not? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654380/7942173.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654380/7942173.page GMT Have Orks ever attacked Terra and if not, then why not?

If Orks made it to the Terra system we'd all know because they'd have to either A) Exterminatus the whole planet including the Emporer or B) Accept the fact that they will be fighting Orks on Terra for eternity. I'm sure the forces on Terra can deal with eternal Ork issue and keep em in a low feral state but we'd know of it, it would be in the fluff.


Nah, it's a relatively common occurence to cleanse a planet of Ork infestation. Valhalla leaps to mind, but there's many more. It's not harder than to torch the growing spores with flamers. I am not sure why you even say this, because BobtheHero and Furyou Miko disproved the very thing you speak of in the Orks VS Necrons thread.

The Orks would need a hideously mighty force to even reach Terra itself, not to mention landing or putting up a fight once they've landed. Ghazghkull couldn't break Armageddon, a planet that in comparison is much less well-defended (and if Terra was attacked, it would also trigger a much greater response).

It is thus quite probable that the Orks do not have a currently united force vast enough to make a lasting foothold on Terra.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654380/7942187.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654380/7942187.page GMT Have Orks ever attacked Terra and if not, then why not?
Though I'm sure the likes of Shon'tu wouldn't mind trying to make it reality considering the stunt he pulled using Tyranids...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654380/7942193.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654380/7942193.page GMT Have Orks ever attacked Terra and if not, then why not? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654380/7942379.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654380/7942379.page GMT Have Orks ever attacked Terra and if not, then why not? 40k universe, period. The fluff is far too open-ended and subjective. It's designed, consciously, to make any outcome possible.

After all, if you are an Ork fan and you KNOW your Orks can never beat the Necrons you're gonna be a very unhappy camper. GW will never deliberately do something like that unless some faction becomes so unpopular that it's financially untenable. In which case you get the Fantasy End Times treatment.

Other than that I agree with your post and heartily exalt it.

My two cents.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654380/7946698.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654380/7946698.page GMT
