In line with us being in the month of Orktober I’m going to try to build & paint up my Ork Kommandos from the Kill Team Octarius boxed set plus maybe a few of the classic 2nd edition Orks that I have in my collection. Fingers crossed!
In the meantime, here are 10 things everyone should know about our beloved Green Skins!
5 Things You Should Know About Them Orks!
Orks are humanoid but they actually possess physiological traits of both animals & fungi. What’s more they reproduce asexually which is why a planet is usually doomed once the Green Skins are planetside!
Ork technology is able to achieve great things through the power of belief! Some theorise it’s because in great numbers Orks create a psychic field that is the root of this phenomenon.
A WAAAGH! is the term Orks use that refers to great military campaigns that are led by Warbosses or Warlords and is key to Ork kultur. Orks are all about WAAAGHS!
The greatest Ork in existence right now is Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka and Games Workshop has a pretty awesome mini to represent the Ork Warlord on the table-top. He truly is the Prophet of the Waaagh!
Last but not least, I’d like to introduce you to Gork & Mork, the twin Gods of the Green Skins. Gork is the brutal one whilst his twin Mork is the kunnin’ one. What a perfect pair of deities
Here’s to an awesome Orktober folks! Happy hobbying especially to all you Ork players out there.
