Orcs already technically worship chaos gods.
But yeah, I've heard tell of orcs being on daemon worlds or space hulks without gellar fields- it's really curious that none have gone full-on khorne, tzeentch or nurgle.

There's some old fluff from 3rd Daemonhunters or something where a bunch of Orks got confused, mistook a mural of Nurgle for Gork/Mork and started worshipping it, became corrupt and so on.

There also used to be fluff for Freeboota Stormboyz that worshipped Khorne.

There's also an entire Ork WAAAGH!!! living in the Warp according to the current Daemons codex. Khorne took a liking to them and plonked them into the mountains of his realm to fight his armies for eternity.

Orks do fall to chaos, it's just rare. And when it does happen, they basically always fall to Khorneflakes. It's probably because they don't fear death (so no Nurgle) only take pleasure in a proppa foight (no Slaanesh) have no ambitions besides being da BIGGEST AND DA STRONGEST (no Tzeentch) and don't really have an differentiation between violence and their every day lives.

There hasn't been much BL stuff with the Tau as main characters, sadly, but the same is true for basically every other faction that isn't either Chaos or Imperium. Rather annoying. >.>

Eldar probably come in 3rd. They've had more stuff published about them than any other non Imperial/Chaos race/faction. Currently reading like a 1200 page compilation on the Dark Eldar.

I dunno, Brutal kunnin' sounds somewhat tzeentchian. I could see a Weirdboy or Mekboy doin' it. Or Gretchen. Not that they'd accomplish anything, bein' krumped 'medeeately 'fer blazfemin' 'gainst Gork 'n Mork.

Because the holder isn't an outlet for the psychic field that makes it work. That said, sometimes it does work. For example, if an Ork sees you doing it, or if you have a reputation as a friend/enemy of the Orks. The more refined Ork technology (it exists) also really does work occasionally, and as such will work for anybody.

I think I might do another series of pics. What race would you like to see me play as (anything except daemons or inquisition, don't have 1.8 yet) and against what (anything but imperium, preferably).

Oh, and should it be the same type of thing, aka random moments with captions, or should I do a play-by-play of a match? I'll probably make another thread for it, but I figured I might as well ask here.

Play Dark Eldar, because I'm playing as their counterparts in CKII right now and I've recently developed a sort of grudging respect for them.

Against...Tau.

I concur, Tau vs Dark Eldar?

Would you like to organise a multiplayer game? I think I can still run the previous version of UA (1.73 I believe).

The more refined Ork technology (it exists) also really does work occasionally, and as such will work for anybody.

This is basically why Warrick can use his klaw and do the things the orks believe him capable of doing, and he knows this all too well, doing things to support orkk claims about him. Warrick is becoming progressively more badass as orks fear and admire him more and more, because what orks believe, happens.
