What role (if any) did the Orks have in the Horus Heresy?

But orks had a pretty major presence in the galaxy ever since man's first interstellar footsteps, and they were absolutely present and a threat during the time before, during, and after the heresy. There's quite a few fluff battles of the emperor and sons v. orks, as well. I think horus himself earned his first victories against orks, and there's even a warboss who allegedly almost took down the emperor himself.

In a few more: Orks had no real function during the Heresy, but were the last serious threat during the Great Crusade. Ullanor was the site of a giant battle between an Ork warboss (30k's Gahzkull) and the Imperium, involving even the Emperor and Horus. In fact, I think it was the last time Big E fought alongside his sons before retiring from the Crusade in favor of his super-secret project.

Hence, they ceased to be as serious a threat to the Imperium - so long as the Legions were on hand. However, indirectly, it can be argued that what remained of the Orks complicated the Horus Heresy as they were heedless of the Heresy and continued to grow, even while the Legions were fighting each other. For example, the White Scars had been tied down in the Chondax System fighting Orks where it's possible they could have been better employed elsewhere - such as reinforcing the assault on Isstvan V.

That'll be the Mech-Warlord who the Emperor fought on Gorro before the Ullanor Crusade . Larger than Horus or the Emperor (Horus in TDA), he nearly got the better of the Emperor before Horus intervened. Curiously enough, when Horus intervened it allowed the Emperor to gut the Ork - but the killing blow was when the Emperor destroyed the Ork by literally scouring him from every sphere of existence - just like Horus would be destroyed on the Vengeful Spirit.

I fear the answer to this question is "mind bullets", but how did the emperor scour something from existence? Like set him on fire? If it was like a demon, I can see how eliminating from the universe would be important, but for an ork, just kill him and he's pretty much done, except for the spores, I guess. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/680579/8466368.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/680579/8466368.page GMT Orks in the Horus Heresy? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/680579/8466383.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/680579/8466383.page GMT Re:Orks in the Horus Heresy?

Pretty much - he was kinda angry that the ork had disarmed him and then lifted him by his throat. The specifics were that he channelled all his psychic might into his sword and then blasted the ork into literal oblivion :d And then he proceeded to 'fold' realspace around the plasma core of a scrap-hulk planet and push it into the warp so he and Horus could conveniently escape from the rapidly degenerating scrap-planet. So yeah - mind bullets. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/680579/8466522.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/680579/8466522.page GMT Orks in the Horus Heresy? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/680579/8466592.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/680579/8466592.page GMT Orks in the Horus Heresy?

Wait, in the middle of a battle, he threw an entire planet into the warp? And weren't there more marines on the planet besides him and horus?

The Emperor sent the core of the planet into the Warp, which would give the SPESS MUHREENS time to escape with Horus and the Emperor, while the Orks watched their wonderful creation collapse around them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/680579/8466611.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/680579/8466611.page GMT Re:Orks in the Horus Heresy? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/680579/8466618.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/680579/8466618.page GMT
