There is simply no logical sense as to why pulling the trigger would release a bullet.īut the Orks BELIEVE that they work, and as such, are able to use them. If any other race should try and fire an Ork custom shooter, they will never be able to fire it, because on a schematic level, it does not work. Things moving faster away from the ork have their colours red-shifted, and hence an ork would recognise that fast things look red. Same with how their "tech" and weapons work. Orks, having an understanding of the universe built into their genetic memory, obviously having an innate understanding of the doppler effect. They simply believe that Red goes faster, and as a result, it DOES go faster. "Red means it goes faster" is one of such "make believe" things that happens around Orks. But the Orks did not, and as such has no problem dying, as long as they are having fun.Īlso, Orks are basically fungi, grown for battle.įinally, the Ork mental fortitude is possible the most powerful and "weird" in the universe. To add to that, Orks does not fear death, because the Nightbringer(Necron stargod or C'Tan) was defeated before he reached the Ork held systems(back in the wars of the Gods).Īll other races(well, except tyranids I guess) had felt his gaze and feared death right down to a genetic level. Oh also the Inquisition lured the orks to a planet with a nids on it and have manged to keep them busy with a stalemate at least lol They considerd Exterminatus but it was best to just let them keep each other busy and keep at least one tendril of nids from expanding anymore. Oh and Orks could prob ♥♥♥♥ up everyone if they were not so busy fighting each other instead of uniting.
This message was edited 1 time.Originally posted by AstaЯtesPaИda:Orks paint their trucks and bikes etc RED coz they think it makes it go faster lol Also TEETH are ork currency. It's all psychological, but their subconscious psychic abilities make it reality if enough of them believe it. It doesn't translate into shooting lightning bolts out of their arse or fireballs out of their eyes, (except with weirdboyz, because they're weird) but the 'Power of the Waaagh!' is all psychological.Īctually, think about it that way from the start. I haven't read about orks in a good long while, so my info might be outdated, but if you look into some of the stories and fluff about Inquisitors, weirdboyz and some other nooks and crannies, they all agree that there's some fairly serious subconcious psychic ability in them. wiki/Weirdboy, /wiki/Waaagh!Īll orks are innately psychic, and the weirdboyz are a more direct channel for that. Where's the codex/canon source for this? Its sounds interesting and I'd like to read more about it. This is also why their vehicles move at all, why they can make flying contraptions of loosely held together scrap metal that by any other civilization should be made into low-income housing in some Central/South-American slum. n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.
Red is also associated with relatively disciplined and tactical Orks.
The most well-known and memetic color, because 'Red goes fasta.' Believed to have started as a reference to the first 'Gundam' anime of all things. Red can also be described as brutal since going faster helps get into melee. Ork reasoning is for orks, questions result in beatings. Red Objects or beings that are red go faster. Note that the attack is as much a valid part of the reply as any words. It's why choppas, made from the biggest hunks of metal they can find, can slice through space marine armor platings, and, in some cases, dice up tanks. Answer accompanied by a swing at the inquisitive inrterloper with a large choppa or blunt object. This is why they can fire guns made of junk while in the hands of an Ordo Xenos researcher, its mechanisms won't even sputter. Long answer: All Orks are subconsciously psychic.
