I was confronted by something that confused me today.

Orks are stupid - FACT
Orks are so stupid they warp the very fabric of the warp to make things like they believe - FACT

So why do Orks die? I mean, if you had something like a laser, the Ork might not even FEEL it - and if they don't feel it, they won't think they've been hit, and so they won't get hurt/die.

Does this happen? Or am I taking it too far?

Orks are highly psychic; they're the most powerfully pyschic race in the universe, they beat the Eldar hands down at psychic powers, but they don't know it.

This means whatever an Ork believes is reality, becomes reality; Ork technology works because they think it does, if you could convince an Ork that losing his chest wouldn't kill him, odds are it wouldn't.

The thing is; Orks think they should die when they take enough damage; this is also why bigger Orks are harder to kill; they think they should take more damage before they die, because they're bigger.

That's what I'm saying - there are plenty of real life examples of people in an accident not even realising they're injured. I'm picturing armless Orks charging towards the enemy and only beginning to bleed once they realise their limbs are missing. ;D

Canon; it happens.

It's one of the reasons why Orcs are so freaking dangerous.

It's extremely embarressing to be bashed to death by an Ork you just decapitated, with his own head.

Decapitation tends to slow them down a bit.

I was planning on getting the starter set box at some point (no drivers license and all that), and it come with both Space Marines and Orks. Other army player would look at them and think "maybe I can pawn those". As a (to be) Ork player, I think "I wonder how I can convert these". The box set comes a dreadnought, so I was thinking I could loot that and make it a "count as", but I don't know if it should be a Warboss or a Big Mek. What do you guys think?

(yes, I realize that is would be a deff dread, but a single deff dread isn't all that intimidating)

Wait, an actual Angry Marine codex? I know it's a very popular fan chapter, but someone actually took the time to make a codex.

After the Great Internet Explosion, everyone and their dog who was into Warhammer wrote their own horribly broken codexes to reflect their perfect vision of an army.  /tg/ made one for its beloved Angry Marines (and Rogue Traders too).  It's not a bad codex, since they're basically just Marines who can't shoot straight but beat things up better, so not much different than the many real chapter-specific codexes.

Also, great stuff like the Predator Angrinator and the Adamantium Sack of Power Doorknobs.

Might as well post in this thread. For a long while I tried to get into 40K, but in the end my love of buying and sticking things, and my hate of painting things led to me being defeated by the grey unpainted hordes and gave up fairly recentlyish. I'm continuing to follow the fluff- especially the Horus Heresy series and am occasional visiting a 40K forum to see new releases, but I'm largely out of it.

Wait, if orks make their imagination reality, how many of the orks are actually real? Could those Orks use this same ability (i doubt it because they don't know about it)
