I know next-to-nothing about 40K lore, and I don’t give a single poo poo about any of it. I think I’d be perfect for the job.

They want a creative director but I bet they don't want them to be too creative. Like, if I suddenly made Gork and Mork superluminal, transdimensional, bioswarm AI that operate in the collective quantum computing power of the orkish mycological network, built by the brainboys of old, who were then destroyed by their creation due to most orks being too angry and it leaking into the software, I don't think they'd like that.

They might try that in AoS. In 40k they have to keep it grim and serious or people will riot (I mean they riot all the time but that is another topic)

Well I didn't want to wipe it all out. It needed to fit with them showing up to support a big waaagh and produce miraculous events, and them being capricious and uncaring. They need to slightly resent the beings they rely upon for their existence.

jesus WEP posted:GW making orks less comedy relief and more of the exact same grimdark crap as every other faction is an ongoing crime and I hate it Yeah every concrete detail we learn about Orks (or pretty much any faction) makes them more mundane. I'd rather everything was speculation, are they sentient fungus? Maybe. Are they spontaneous creations of the warp? Could be. Are the brainboys the old ones or are they un-devolved grots? Who cares? Tell me more about the warboss that invaded a planet so he could get a cool hat for his favorite squig.

i think about what would happen if someone only now came up with the idea that ork machines only work because the orks believe they will, and same logic for how red really does make things faster and purple really does make things stealthier, and how fast that person would be fired for suggesting it in 2022, and it makes me sad

Greetings from Canada, whose airborne regiment became so full of warcriming sociopaths (like, higher than the expected army average) that the government straight up disbanded them. According to a couple of buddies I have in the armed forces, the whole regiment has been memory holed and everyone tries to pretend they never existed in the first place. Given a bunch of the recent poo poo getting reported out of the Canadian forces, I don't think it made any positive difference.
