Stormboyz? They're young orks, who rebel against the anarchic freedom of ork kultur and go learn discipline and polish their boots and march in order and other strange, unorky things.

We can't encourage such deviant behaviour.

[Xantalos]

Will grots actually get a bonus to shooting I know they are better at shooting in the lore but will they actually get a bonus in this?

GM said no. Aiming is unorky.

Aiming isn't necessarily unorky in and of itself, it's just that the process of aiming tends to reduce the amount of dakka coming out of the gun, and that's the unorky bit.

"Oi boss. Da grotapults are close ta done, but how you'z gonna pay us? We knowz yer broke!" says a few disgruntled meks.

Your ork on a shield will have to wait until you can afford to buy a shield and an ork.

Your mad dok appointment will have to wait too, until you get some funds.

You grab a bag-squig and roast it on a spit. You hand the new bag to a git and tell him to follow you around.

Yes, you do have a few weirdboyz, but the old boss threw them down the Drops and they haven't been seen for over a year.

We obviously want to go for the grand capital. If we win, we'll earn Dagger's respect and the fear of their tribes and bunnies.

We will DIE against space marines. Have you ever played Space Marine? A single captain of a mere two centuries service destroyed hundreds of orks with little effort all by himself. (Being part of the greatest chapter of them all may have had something to do with it, though.) We'll need a WAAAGH! if we're ever gonna have a chance of taking it which is impossible seeing as all the other tribes are led by robots.

Just as a novice Tau Fire Warrior can slaughter Space Marines, Chaos Obliterators and a Lord of Change all on his lonesome.

I know a bit of 40k, but how DO squigs work?

+1. What even are squiggoths?

Squigs are descended from tyrannids (rippers) the Orks domesticated. They basically got absorbed into the Orkoid lifecycle. They grow similiarly to orks - i.e. from spores. Squigs naturally grow and breed within the cesspits of Ork settlements, subsisting on Ork refuse. Tending the Squigs is the duty of the Snotlings.

Squiggoths are enormous squigs, kind of like mammoths. Orks stick howdahs with guns on the top of them.

NO, ITS NOT THAT. THE SQUIQS  WERE A PART OF THE ORIGINAL ORKOID ECOSYSTEM. WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR INFO??

[GiglameshDespair]

I got it from the Warhammer 40k wiki, oh abuser of question marks. Here.

However, Squigs were originally introduced as a Tyranid unit said to have been derived by the Tyranids from Ork DNA. It is now a generally accepted fact that the Squigs were the result of the Tyranids' manipulation of Orkoid genetic material. The Orks discovered the first Squigs aboard a Tyranid bio-ship and subconsciously recognised them as being "Orky", subsequently taking the little creatures home with them. Squigs then spread throughout Ork space. This reality explains how Squigs have appeared in both the Ork and Tyranid armies. Since then, Tyranid Squigs have been recognised as the Tyranid sub-species that are now known to the Imperium as Rippers. Regardless of their origins, Squigs are a truly vital part of Ork culture.

THAT WIKI IS SHITE IN MOST WARHAMMER 40K CIRCLES, USE LEXICANUM FOR ACTUAL FACTS.

We don't know how to build rockets because we're ferals.

[GiglameshDespair]

Why? Tyrannid squigs were units the Tyrannids had back in second codex or so.

Though I suppose GW has already wrecked a lot of it's canon. Why should squigs be any different?

AND SQUATS WEREN'T AB-HUMANS NOR DEAD.

I'm using both Lexicanum and the official wiki for world-building here. Also, is your caps lock broken?

The novel made it clear he was being empowered by Khorne himself.

While I'd normally be all for this, it wouldn't do well to begin our reign by pissing off our followers - followers who betrayed the old boss to serve us, I'll remind you. The last thing we need is another civil war. I reckon we can easily sell off some of the dakka and the tek and the bits and our old unflashy armour to pay for it. Barter with them using our expert Karizma.

EDIT: Sell the SPKK to Gitsmasha. We were gonna give it to him anyway so we should try to get some money out of it too.

Try what andres said first and if it fails beet da teeth from dem.
