NihilCredo posted:That white enamel paint gives me Horizon: Zero Dawn vibes. It looks cool but much too clean and sleek for Orcs. I rather agree with that. It looks like something the Tau would have made, and probably the thing to do would be to emphasize that these Orks had repurposed Tau wreckage as armor for their Squig, rather than painted everything themselves.

Orks make a lot more sense when you realize that violence is sex to them, even down to it being part of their reproductive cycle

My head cannon is that Vulkan got teleported to an ork planet and has been fighting orks and dying for the past several thousand years.

Several thousand years of essentially non stop combat (way way more so than most marines) would probably make him insanely good at combat, beyond normal for a primarch.

But he wouldn't be fighting, he would have brought peace to the warring, sorry, wahhhhhing clans. Probably why we've not seen him, he's having a chill time with his green mates.

That's exactly what he is doing when they find him in the Beast Arises series. Just him alone in a the middle of a huge swarm of orks and constantly drawing more.

What book had mention of an Eldar getting in deep poo poo with all the craftworlds cause they said orks are a perfect society that puts the rest of the galaxy to shame? It was either that or when they said the infinite circuit is just Terras golden throne and astropath choir through different means. Which now with the whole Ynead stuff makes the emperor's new God form pretty obvious move.

Uthan the Perverse? AFAIK it was just a quote in a codex, we don't know anything about the character other than his epithet.

Are orc worlds even salvageable? Or do you just write them off forever. Are there orc worlds in the warp or do the orcs not do well in the warp.

There is a Khornate Daemon world that was effectively colonized by the Orks. Tuska Daemonkilla knew where the best fighting was so he drove his Waaagh!!! into the Eye of Terror and landed on the nastiest world he could find. His entire army was killed on the planet, only for them to all he resurrected to fight an endless battle each time because Khorne wants blood and the Orks were more than happy to oblige.

Cyclonic torpedoes get a planet hot enough to kill the Ork ecosystem on it. You can start rebuilding the biosphere in about 300 years.

You can also do an ork hunt every once in a while, kinda like feral boars or invasive fish

The Valhallans mine through their ice world for resources and more living space, and regularly dig out frozen orks that are ready to fight once they're out of the ice.

Serpentis posted:Oh the Blood Ravens are notorious in memes for that (and there are a few select shady “acquisitions” in canon which are the basis of the memes), but Trayzn the Infinite is comparatively that level of thief/liberator/collector in canon, never mind the memes. He has a whole planet-stasis-vault affair of things he’s “collected”, I think, though I don’t recall the name. Blood Ravens collect artifacts. Trazyn the Infinite collects Blood Ravens.

The next tier of that meme holds that - since GW didn't want to outright confirm that the Blood Ravens are Thousand Sons stock - their real primarch is in fact Trazyn.

Penitent spoilers Is Beta a legit inquisitor at the end ? I think yes. She has a rosette and was promoted. Unless I am misremembering

I think the Dark Crusade game had some lore about feral orks hanging out in the jungle and occasionally the Tau would go in to kill whichever Ork was getting too big to keep them fighting among themselves, or effectively drone striking any Mek Boyz that turn up to prevent them from getting too technically capable. It's not until Gorgutz "Ead 'Unter shows up that they become a real issue, and that's only because he was drawn to the equivalent of Super Smash Bros. playing out on the planet with all the races and factions going to town.

I always been into the huge dumb gothic space battles in my warhammer books, and this really hit the spot. I want to read hundreds of pages of poorly written fleet fights. Hell yeah. Bring back Battlefleet Gothic.

Want to join in on the praise of this latest episode of Angels of Death. Orpheo was an absolute badass, but it's Livia who continues to stand out anytime she's on screen.

About to embark on my Horus Heresy readthrough (well, 50/50 between that and my Discworld read/reread, I've read about a quarter to third of the latter but never in proper order). I know Battle for the Abyss is commonly regarded as "you miss literally nothing by skipping this and gain nothing by reading it"; anything else in the series that should be regarded the same way?

Zuh? Nemesis while it's not top tier, it's regarded as one of the better reads in the series. It's one to look forward to.
