      I made an ork free booter captain named cap'n' squigbeard. He's got a tangled beard of hair squigs on his face and a mane of hair squigs. Inspired by zodgrot wortsnagga. He was once a bad moons ork that figured he'd make even ore loot as a free booter captain. His favorite melee combo is a power claw in the shape of a pirates hook and a power cutlass. He's the only one that can pronounce the r in waaagh! Making it sound like a deep bellowing aaargh!

    The Orks are popular in 40K because they are the only truly content species in the setting. They're truly happy where they are in the world as it is right now and wouldn't have it any other way. A band of Orks could happily barge in on a supposedly plot important scene and they'll be plenty happy to be a part of it and krump everything with a grin and smile. And I am sure that makes the fans happy too.

    Interesting thing about the Bad Moons: The other ork clans don't actually consider their fast-growing teef to be an unfair advantage, even if they do think of the lot of 'em as flashy ostentatious gits. After all, if you think that Bad Moon's gob has more teef than he deserves in it, you can just punch them out more often. If you're not big enough or 'ard enough to do so, that's a you problem.

      The best part of that is that even Vulcan, the largest of the Primarchs and one of the best martial combatants among them wasn't enough to take care of the Beast. He had to suicide himself just to try to take out the almost fully grown krok and it still didn't work. Then the Imperium just kinda cheated and it was fine, but I didn't really appreciate how they didn't really have to work for the win after an entire space marine/terminator unit got stomped by the same Beast with little effort. Reverse Uno weirdboy is apparently a tactic they forgot about even tho it took out five other potential Beasts.

      Where did they come from though? Why were they not starved for battle from all the space travel? What could create them in a more severe fighting enviroment that the Octarius war which created zero extra strong orks? Whatever actually makes orks stronger, we massively misunderstand it. The lore is so wildly inconsistent to the point were we have to throw out all theories.

    Just two quick things Wes, both relating to color. The Goffs prefer black and white due to their ancestors nearly being wiped out by the Luna Wolves pre-Heresy, and the Blood Axes do have a favorite color in purple, since Orks see it as "da sneekiest colla der iz."

Not only does it deal massive blunt force damage, but also inspires the other orks to fight harder to get that massive amount of loot.

    Orks are the best faction in the sense that they actually seem to have a good time unlike most of the other races. They're also fun and comedic, so they're easy to love. They also traditionally haven't been the top of the meta, which I think has resulted in a lot of their players just being people who love the faction and the fun of the game, ork players generally have a pretty good reputation online compared to a lot of other parts of the hobby, and I think that also helps people love for the faction as well. From a hobby perspective, their culture of looting also leads to some players making some pretty rad kitbashes.
    I realize that I'm generalizing here, but I think the love for the orks has multiple causes and I think it is well earned, both in lore, and from the fanbase. Shoutout to all the ork enthusiasts I've encountered over the years, you guys make the hobby a better place.

    Always love hearing more about Orks. They are what got me into 40K and I have a massive love for Goffs and for Freebootaz. I think what makes the Orks so damn good in this universe is a mixture of being funny and scary at the same time as well as their rather big amount (at least comparatively to the amount available) of good interesting stories. I mean hell, Wes himself mentioned Kaptain Bloodflag who has the most entertaining dialogue in that campaign. Also, I'm sure most of the comment section know of Tuska Daemonkilla and have enjoyed his story.
