@@1OtherMr that's a whole different can of worms

@@thesun7300 is like speaking of troglodites and us... just in reverse.

The orks are always 1 minute to midnight, so they will be sure to not mess the party.

They are happy, thats like crazy in w40k

Out of curiosity I threw this into google translate Latin to get a vague approximation of what that high gothic would sound like, and here it is:
"Magna pugna. Meus optimus inimicus. Perge ad Armagedon. Maximum certamen parate."
I dunno if that's an accurate Latin translation, but imagining that coming out with an Ork accent is pretty intimidating.

So the modern equivalent would be if some blackout drink soccer hooligan suddenly snapped to full awareness, looked you right in the eye as if he was about to tell you the most important thing in the world, and started speaking to you in flawless, albeit short and broken up, Latin.
I would leave.

Sebastian Yarrick taught me everything I needed to know about the Green-Skins. It's one reason why I have become regarded in the Inquisitorius as being as knowledgeable about the Orkz as Kryptmann is on the Tyranids. But when I ran into my old mentor after he went on his hunt for Ghaz, he had a horrified look in his eyes. I was normally used to seeing the bleak, cold gaze of death addressing friend and foe alike, or seeing him smile in his own way when we crossed paths and trades war stories. But this, this look of fear that crossed his scarred face sent such an intense chill down my spine, one I had never felt before. It would only be surpassed by the one I would feel when he told me.
"High Gothic," he said. "Thraka spoke in broken High Gothic."
The last Ork I ever saw that spoke in High Gothic was killed by Vulkan. More than an Ork, it was more like the ancient Krorks that my Eldar shipmates have spoken of had made a return in the form of a single colossal Ork that called itself "the Beast". Could it be that Ghazghkull Thraka is a descendant, if not a reincarnation of the Beast? No, I dare not think of it. The horrors of the War of of the Beast still haunt me after all these millennia, and I'd like to pretend that Thraka's uncanny likeness to the Beast is just mere coincidence, nothing more.
My return to the _Seraphim Dawn_ was shaky. The entire crew sensed how tense and shook up I was at hearing this revelation of an Ork speaking in High Gothic. Immediately, I gave the orders to set off. We were to rendezvous with Inquisitor Kryptmann within the hour to discuss a possible involvement of the Necron Dynasties, including those of the Silent King himself, in the Octarius War. Even if Ghazghkull Thraka were to unite the warbands under his banner, an ultimate victory for the Orkz over the Tyranids is a much better outcome for the entire galaxy. I just pray that Ghazghkull Thraka is the only Ork that can speak in High Gothic, or we'll have something far worse ahead of us...

Does it actually work like that? Are there records of Orks buffing their enemies? :D

@@MrMango331 it's not buffing their enemies so much as it's they are debuffed. If Blood angels terminators can run at 15 mph and red is da fastest color, then the orks can't run faster than 15mph.

@@Turk3YbAstEr What if there were faster red colored units on the field at the same time? Would the terminators be faster then too? (Lore, not game)

Would not be the first time that the Imperium was comparable to Rome. (Use of Latin like language and naming convention, the state of falling into disrepair and becoming a shadow of its former self, constantly fighting in wars of both survival and expansion, etc)

@@TheD736 Since we are going that way Ghazghkull and Yarrick are kinda like Hannibal and Scipio Africanus

Could also be a reference to modern Goths. I mean the colour of the Goffs *is* black.

@@TheD736 If that is the case, I wonder if the empire is going to split. I would imagine it would be Guilliman creating a 'Easten' Roman Empire, given how he hates the current Imperium

@@lukalovric2463 id say Carthage is more comparable to the Tau. Plus Rome during the Punic wars was on the rise vs modern Imperium is on the steady decline. So more like Armenius vs Varus

So like the first and thrid war of Armageddon

So the Orcs would have won if not for dues ex machina?

@@woaddragon
Gazghkull's first attack was the Second War of Armageddon. I think the First War was Daemon Primarch Angron attacking the planet. I think the third war is still unresolved and it's between Da Orks and Armageddon.

@@jacobfreeman5444 I'm a bit fuzzy on the details, but I think Gazghkull could have continued the attack, but chose not to. He then returned to attack the planet again, which is the third War of Armageddon and it is currently unresolved. Orks hold one half of the planet and the Imperium the other half.

@@tehvaniu6a What you mean it still going? Ok that is new to me.

I was more thinking that makaris more loke a tonberry from final fantasy

I’ll be honest, as a DnD DM for a group of theater kids, the key to an accent is confidence. No matter how bad it is from a stereotype a voice is, if you say what you want like you always say it, it at worst comes out as comedy

How did that happen, was he already maimed or did the child have ?Force knife? or something?

@@Sara3346 He failed his armor save.

@@cryamistellimek9184 Thanks, that got a good chuckle out of me.

@@Sara3346 Well, the child wasn't really a child, but a woman who was probably a couple of centuries old but looked like a child as a result of using anti-aging drugs, she stabbed him in the back of the knee, between the joints of his armour, using a poisoned knife and yes, it was agreed that this was an absolute scrub-lord way for him to go out.

@@weldonwin Must have been some pretty intense bleeding causing poison I am guessing, either that or something good at paralyzing fast enough for a separate attack to be made / freeze his lungs?

Ah wish to pet dis creecha.

I like to think the chaos gods are actually scared of the orks and actively try to hide the existence of Gork and Mork to everyone else

@@tokenbastard4586 Get out of my city.

Our city. Our world.

What im curious about is if Gaz is the biggest ork around who the hell did the body belong too??

@@jeambeam3173 Orks get bigger with time and fighting.

@@jeambeam3173 Well, he isn't the biggest. That is the thing. He's taken down orks that were bigger than him many times. Often that is how he gets the cooperation of different clans. He is getting bigger with each fight and such though.

I like the fan theory that Orks can reincarnate (like Human Shamans and Eldar used to do when the Warp was calmer, Orks can still do it and avoid being demon chow because they're Orks and/or the power of the Waaaagh!/Gork and Mork protect them). So Makari did die, but then he was reborn.

I find funny the idea that ghaz just doesn't care enough, and that whatever grot carries his banner is Makari in his eyes. Still has t be one hell of a lucky git for said grop to live for more than a day, but there is always gonna be a grot willing to replace the dead one and work for ghaz (hell, they'd probably fight eachother to do it!)

It has been confirmed by makari that he has been reincarnated several times by ghaz, and that for whatever reason these two are psychically linked. Each time ghaz bestows the name makari on a grot the memories and mind ogrow. Late makari would flood into the grot.

@@znritheotaku I like the idea that Makari is the ACTUAL prophet of Gork and Mork and that Ghazghkull is just the military leader and muscle. None of the Orks would take Makari seriously if he claimed to be the prophet so Ghazghkull claims he is instead and always keeps Makari around to actually commune with the gods

Every action that gaz take is inspired by his god's

For Gork and Mork to speak so nearly directly.... that is bad. Very bad. That they had the divine faculties to pull it off, and weren't busy fighting each other...
This could be catastrophic.

@ShroomTube basically the rights to go in, take scrap and tech, and whatever else is there. Usually sold to rouge traders, I believe.

​@ShroomTubeThe right for a company/individual/group to take stuff from the spacehulk.
Keep in mind that spacehulks consist of ships and other void debris. Even regular ships can be quite valuable for their materials, not to mention the treasures that very ancient and rare ships can contain. STC's for example can sometimes be found in such spacehulks. But the void debris can also be valuable materials, rare metals and etc. Hell, a meteor made of pure adamantium could even be part of the hulk.
So yeah, giant lootbox. Unfortunately most spacehulks tend to be inhabited by things most often very dangerous.

@@cindermoth3421 And if the inhabitants don't try to kill you, the ship itself might! Buddy I knew was playing a Rogue Trader game and his group stumbled upon a Hulk. Half of them died in the first room of the thing because a plasma reactor was leaking and flooded the room with radiation.

Who said humans incompetency wasn't the will of Gork and Mork?

@@ObsidiaBlack1 Oof, that's an awful way to get killed. And yeah the hulk itself is dangerous. Still amusing how those hulks don't have essentially no damage from all those objects being mixed together. It's working Bethesda glitch clipping logic. Hell gravity is a big problem in those things, since a corridor you enter could suddenly have massively different gravity, both in strength and direction. A passage to the right could suddenly become an abyss you fall to your death in because gravity is suddenly to the right.

I can see why Ghaz keeps him around.

I....dount it. Durning the Age of Apostasy, Aliens and Chaos ran amok, not to the level of 40k, but you know.

@@woaddragon That is true. But I think Doge vandire would have made an exception for the tau.

@@robertkeaney9905 Goddamn it.

@@robertkeaney9905 think of it from an exotic standpoint. Doge is a man of unconventional desires

I think they were scheduled for exterminatus anyway but then the warp storm happened.
after it abated, the Tau became what they were supposed to be.

That is scarily accurate....

@@djdjd4710 “screw you guys i’m going home!”

Of all the warp fuckery that is the most terrifying thing I ever heard

In the ork codex it says squigs came around when gork and Mork put nurgle in a pit and bullied him until he devolved. Since he's a God he reverted back to normal after they got bored but orks got to keep the squigs

If squigs are tyranid/ork hybrids, that makes them fairly recent in the overall scheme of ork history, raising the question of what ork life was like before squigs. So my preferred theory is that squigs were part of the greenskin life cycle all along.
If squigs were part of the original plan for greenskins, and ‘nids started life as the Old Ones’ take on mutual assured destruction, that would explain the similarities.

I never heard this

Tryna trick us into not believing in the divine works of gork and mork, kinda cringe lol

yea i read that book recently its actually really good. its funny as its more about makari as all the lore for gaz is what you can find on the wiki while makaris lore is all new

I rather think that the ork body was from the octarios war

Nah, that was just the mad dok going all frankenstein on his ass after he found his head. His new body is an amalgamation of ork parts, prosthetic limbs, exoskeleton, tank armor and firepower.
And it's still growing because of course it is.
