Can someone explain what a "squig" is and what it does exactly? I've had a general idea but then sometimes it seems like it does something more and different than what I thought and I get confused. I know nothing about Orkz other than general carryover lore from 3rd edition.

I know nothing about Orkz other than general carryover lore from 3rd edition. orks reproduce by spores, but whereever the spores go they carry an entire weaponized ecosystem with them. so the spores take root, make everything from normal fungus for eating and fungus beer to more and more complex orkoid organisms, including the grots and orks themselves, and including the squigs. they get born by struggling out of basically fungus sacs. any function a domesticated animal can have in society, squigs fulfill it, and many functions that are basically insane for a domesticated animal to have. companion squigs? yes. food squigs? yes. riding squigs? yes. face-eating squigs for face-eating competitions? yes. squigs that can substitute for hair if you want an ork model with hair? yes. squigs the size of mammoths who can have howdahs with gun emplacements? why not. the model looks like a grimdark bright red version of kirby with vicious razor sharp teeth and a tail. bob dobbs is dead fucked around with this message at 05:42 on Apr 18, 2024 |

I know nothing about Orkz other than general carryover lore from 3rd edition. Squig is a catchall name for the various Ork-ish animals produced from the fungal Orkoid ecosystem as the base of the food chain. As may been mentioned previously itt, Orkz are constantly shedding spores that will eventually grow into fungal patches, and when the patch grows large enough, start producing squigs, then snotlings, then gretchen, and finally, Orks. Squigs are foodstuff and material for Orkz wrapped up in one - some squigs get eaten, some get turned into bags, some are used as weapons, and some are large enough to ride. As to the variety of squigs - some are just born that way, naturally produced from the fungal patches, but the snotlings/gretchen also do some squig farming to create certain kinds.

orks and the whole ork ecosystem, after the 3rd ed introduction of the old ones, have generally gotten the chaos flavor written out of them, because the overarching story they have now is of being a genetically engineered weapon by the old ones against chaos. that's why they love fighting demons. there's a fair amount of chaos orks before 3rd ed bob dobbs is dead fucked around with this message at 12:31 on Apr 18, 2024 |

Which is another reason why a) orks never really go away you'll have minor flare ups for years and years even after a waaggh is driven off and b) why ork/tyranids warfare is so insane because it's essentially two weaponized ecosystems going at it.

to wit, the face-eating squig competition goes like this: 1 ork. 1 face-eating squig. competition begins. they start eating each other's faces. if the ork eats the face-eating squig, the ork wins. if the ork keels over, the squig wins.

They have evolved a society which knows no stress or angst. Who are we to judge them? We Eldar who have failed, or the Humans, on the road to ruin in their turn? And why? Because we sought answers to questions that an Ork wouldn't even bother to ask! We see a culture that is strong and despise it as crude.
