THE GREEN TIDE

While the heretical forces of Chaos and the bio-consuming might of the Tyranids pose terrible dangers to the worlds of the Imperium, it is the barbaric and seemingly endless hordes of the Orks which are the greatest threat to the forces of the Emperor. Engulfing entire worlds like a frenzied green tide, Ork warbands have threatened to overrun entire sectors in a tremendous storm of bloodshed and violence.

Willing to take on any enemy and even turning upon themselves if no opponents present themselves, Orks are perhaps the most aggressive race in the galaxy. Were the Orks not so divided, the entire Imperium might fall before their assembled power. However, the very nature of Ork society has prevented this from happening so far.

WAAAGH!

Occasionally, a truly massive Ork Warlord known as a Warboss will rise above the other Ork leaders and hammer the various, squabbling Ork tribes into a crude alliance known as a Waaagh!. When this occurs, entire systems may be ravaged before the force of this army of vicious green warriors expends itself and petty squabbles and old animosity takes hold once more.

Orks vary tremendously in shape, size and power. From the weedy hordes of the Gretchin mobz to the slug-throwing mania of the Ork Shoota Boyz, all of the Orks are built for bloodshed. Led on the battlefield by the biggest and the strongest greenskins (known as Nobz), Orks live by the maxim - Might is Right!

Although Orks may not seem to be as technologically advanced as the other races of the galaxy, they have an innate talent for machinery and love loud explosions and enormous guns. While their many War Buggies, Trukks, Traks, Big Gunz and clanking Dreadnoughts may look primitive on the battlefield when compared with the smooth lines of the Eldar or Space Marine vehicles, Ork vehicles are built for destruction and kill the enemy just as well as any other race's war machines!
