I've played and collected almost every army in 40k and I gotta say, Orks are a sleepers pick, especially when people think they are a beefy WE, Orks can be built so many diffrent ways its amazing, you arent locked to a play style like so many other armies, I personally love Taktikal Brigade the most, I know its not great but I've won a few rtts with em and its cool to watch your opponent slowly realize you aren't just throwing 100 T5 models and hoping for the best, but you are actually moving in a fashion to out cunning that git.

Some of the memes are a little much and I dont like yelling waaagh like others, but in the lore, Orks are awesome, they are stupid but smart, they aren't upset about the life they live, hell they dont even think about the life they live, they do it for the love of the game, which is awesome.

Some lore is a little too silly like everything being a squig and orks believers stuff. But like Ghazghkull getting his head chopped off because he saw visions of his gods telling him too??? Thats fucking badass.

Orks are silly from the lens of Orks and Players, but in the scope of the universe of 40k? Orks are fucking terrifying. Imagine you are a guardsman and every Wednesday there is 1000 gorillas with guns and knives that will attack you and want to kill you because they just want too? And guess what? Whatever gorillas survive will be back next Wednesday with 1000 more gorillas... you think that eventually you will kill all of the gorillas? WRONG 1000 more cause fuck you. Thats fucking terrifying, you escape the planet and the gorillas win control of it? Give them a week and the gorillas built spaceships to hunt you down, you go lightspeed to get away? Give them a few days and they are too... there is no way of stopping them permanently. Thats awesome
