everybody to another episode of the Adeptus Ridiculous. I am one of your host, D.K. Diamantis.
And before this episode gets too far, we have to give a huge shout out to our patrons over at
patreon.com slash adeptus ridiculous because our goal, our lead goal of $1,337 a month, was crushed.
I don't think it took a week. I don't think we had that goal for a week and it's been annihilated.
So a Lamenter's episode is coming, just not today, because, you know,
two or three days notice to completely throw out all of your orc research and start new research
a little, little close, eh, Bricky, a little, a little too tough to just do that on the fly.
I mean, I'm pretty damn impressed.
For those of you who don't know, we record every single Monday, and the episode comes out
every single Wednesday, at least that's our current schedule.
And with that, considering the fact that we recorded Monday, talking about the Lamenters thing,
but it actually came out Wednesday, and now it's Monday again, and there's a lot.
Therefore, within the time frame of Wednesday to Monday, you were able to hit, actually, earlier than that, more like Wednesday to Sunday, you were able to hit 1337 is kind of ridiculous.
And, yeah, I don't have time for that shit.
I got a whole, I got a whole orc script.
And you're like, no, talk about the depressed boys.
Actually, the depressing boys.
So that'll come, that'll come at some point.
But that won't come this week.
That'll come next week.
And I got to do myself some good research on them because everyone,
Everyone's all up with the lamentors nowadays
Like they were with Kriegs
So I gotta I gotta prepare myself
I gotta tell you
There's a lot of hype going into this
I hope it lives up to it
Because I mean everybody's like oh my god
The lamenters like oh we got it
We gotta donate for the lamenters episode
So you're putting this up on a pedestal
I know nothing about the lamenters
They sound like they lament
Quite a few things
But so I hope it lives up to the hype
Because I don't know
If I'm gonna be honest
I'm gonna be honest
I'm going to be honest.
I don't think it will live up to the hype for you.
I think you're just going to be like, wow, that was sad.
And wow, that really sucks.
And that's what I feel like it's going to be.
You're going to be like, wow, that's horrible.
Yeah, yeah, that's about right.
That's Warhammer.
That's Warhammer.
It's horrible.
People are dead.
People are suffering.
And they hate it.
I mean, if Gojvindyre's reign of blood hasn't made you decensitized, then at least the lamentors will.
Not Goj van Dyer, good sir.
Doge van Dyer.
My boy
Doge Van Dyer
The new channel mascot
I assure you
Are we making him the unofficial mascot?
I want to make him the mascot
I assure you sir
You must dance barefoot in the
Palace of Terra
Get your fan art into the
Twitter
At Ad Ridiculous of Doge Van Dyer
Our new
Official mascot
Is it going to be the official mascot
I don't know
I don't know
It's kind of like
He's like worse than Hitler.
I'm not quite sure.
So with the idea of getting a Hitler variant of a Doge mascot out of the way,
you want to tell the wonderful viewers what our topic is today?
Our topic is Orcs.
It Shia's favorite.
It Shai's favorite faction.
She got to choose.
And of course she chose Orks.
So we got the boys.
Z.
Zz.
With a lot of zz.
I hear they're very fun guys.
I've been trying to push that joke for like the last four weeks every time the orcs come up.
But yeah, I hear they're fun guys.
Wait, what joke is that?
The zzz?
No, they're fun guy.
They're fun guys.
Oh, that's stupid.
Go to jail.
It only just now is it clicking.
I've used that for like the last three weeks, man.
No, you haven't.
I swear to God.
Shy, how many times when the orgs have been brought up where I like, yeah, they're real fun guys?
It obviously wasn't good enough for me to have maintained the memory.
Well, granted, it's a shit joke.
So, I mean, even if you got it, you're probably like purge.
And, yeah, I don't blame you for that.
I find it ironic that it's Shy's favorite faction.
You know, I would think she'd have something a little more brooding and like, you know, angry.
but no, she chose the, she chose the comedic humor of 40K.
She chose the, I don't want to say the joke faction, but I'd say, you know, the comic relief.
And that's pretty cool, because funny enough, as I was doing this research on the orcs,
because I'm, obviously, I play a lot of Imperium armies.
That's like my thing.
I like the Imperium.
So I'm not as familiar with a lot of, but I mean, with the exception of necrons, I love the
Necrons, but I'm not very familiar with a lot of the Xenos, the Tao, the craft worlds, Droucari,
orcs, etc.
And I was a little bit worried about doing the orc research because I wasn't sure, like, okay,
was there a lot of things that I'm missing?
And there actually really isn't much.
I mean, you know, if you know the idea of the orcs, you know the orcs pretty well.
It's just a lot of like little extra things that you can learn knowledge-wise.
But overall, if you think you have a handle on the orcs, you kind of do.
but there's just a little bit more like intricacies that we get to talk about which is a lot of fun
and we can really discuss like a little bit more about their culture about their like physical physiology
we got to talk about squigs I love I love squigs I cannot believe that shy when she sent me like a
bullet point list to help me out she didn't include squigs because I love squigs but I'm actually
really excited to talk about squigs we'll do that too
Okay, so we'll get into why squigs are so awesome.
Absolutely.
So, should I begin?
Sure.
I mean, I was going to say, I have a fairly okay understanding of orcs, just being around shy so much.
And, you know, whenever some sort of discussion on Warhammer breaks out on one of her streams,
someone's always like, oh, hey, D.K., you know about the orcs and how they're fungus creations that are, like, impossible to fully get rid of?
So I feel like I have a little understanding going into this episode, but I'm looking forward to it.
Excellent.
So let's start off with orc history, because that's the easiest one to discuss.
Now, and Shai's asked if I can list all 48 squigs, I will list all 48 squigs.
I actually have it open right now.
Wow.
I was prepared.
I was prepared.
So obviously, I think you can remember from our second episode, we talked about the Necrons and the War in Heaven.
So the orcs were one of the many, many races.
that the old ones brought up.
You know, just like the Eldar,
they were kind of, you know,
they weren't like maybe created,
but they were kind of pushed along their way.
They were helped out a lot.
And they were raised up by the old ones as crooks.
Now, corks,
crooks.
Like orc with a KR,
crooks.
Crocs are,
imagine orcs,
but like,
like 12 meters tall,
like,
like double,
not 12,
like maybe 12 feet, like double the height of an average orc.
And, and also, like, really, like, way more intelligent and stronger.
The idea, long story short, is that they were raised up by the old ones,
and the orcs refer to the old ones as the brain boys.
Because, of course, they do.
Of course they do. Sure. Why not?
And so as they were brought up by the brain boys, they were brought up to fight the necrons
and the katom.
They failed.
the necrons are good or you know stop from them for being like yeah you know genocide and the necrons went to bed and then the orcs were just kind of around along with the Eldar now how did we get from Crocs which are gigantic horrifying really smart and powerful creatures to orcs yeah I was going to say it sounds like they're doing pretty well now but I I know current 40K orcs and they're not smart at all this sounds like a to
totally different breed.
A weird thing I've been noticing
as I've been looking up all this research
is that it seems that almost every faction
in 40K was significantly
more overpowered
in their heyday and have since fallen
from grace. The Imperium with
their, what was that called?
I forget now. The Men of Iron,
all of the major like AI
and stuff. And then now they're all
degrading Eldar,
Priests onesh, and then
orcs, Crooks, old Necrons,
were way scarier than current necrons
and current necrons are like the most powerful
faction
like model for model not model for model
but like every necron warrior
is just ridiculous
but regardless the
I don't think there's actually a legitimate
discussion on why quirks are no longer quarks
but the idea is generally infighting
you know the orcs are left to their own devices
after the necrons went for 60 million years
and they just beat the shit out of each other stupid
now they're just another smaller and dumber
And that's kind of my theory.
So they were left to their own devices.
They didn't know what to do.
They just started beating each other up for such a long period of time that they stunted
their own evolution and started going backwards.
I mean, that's my prevailing theory.
I don't really think of any other better ideas, but there really is no information on the
crooks or the way back stuff besides maybe occasional Eldar snippets because they're the
on ones who were around back then.
And honestly, it makes sense that they just got their asses beat by each other and they just
kind of degraded.
And now they're orcs.
That's what I got, man.
It makes sense.
That's, you know, it makes about as much sense as anything else in Warhammer, really.
I mean, that's not even the craziest thing that could happen in this universe, right?
Like, not even, not even cool.
I'll go for that, yeah.
So, orcs are all, have a slight psychic power instinctive to them.
They're not like psychers, with the exception of weird boys, but they're kind of a different brand of orc.
Orcs have a psychic instinct, instinctive power to them, but they are not psychers.
I think the old ones were like, no, no, no, no, no, no, you can't do that.
So actually, an interesting part of this, the old ones implanted certain orcs called odd boys
with like a special kind of genetic, I don't know, makeup or like mental thing.
Basically an odd boy, there are very different, very different kinds of orcs, and they all have
their own thing.
Like a mech boy is something that can just has like an innate understanding of mechanics
or a pain boy.
It's just an innate understanding of doctor, of like being a doctor.
A weird boy is the psycher.
Speed freaks are like pilots and drivers.
It's like you were just genetically coded as a child to be good at something.
I love that the doctors are called pain boys.
And it's, we'll talk about pain boys a little bit later because they're really funny.
But the old ones basically, you know, they made the orcs.
They grew, they grew them up.
They got odd boys with their own little abilities and then they beat the shit of each other and degraded
However, they do have that instinctive psychic power
Which is probably what you know as the power of imagination
Actually, let's talk about the power of imagination a little bit later
I want to talk about the actual physical like physiology of the ork and how they like how they act
And knowledge not how they act sorry about how like their body makeup is and and their physical attributes first
I want to talk more about the the the power of
imagination when we get into like the Great
Waugh because I think it's a little bit
more important. Yeah, so
orcs obviously
they stand at around
the same height as a human
but they're very hunched
like you know in Overwatch like
Junkrat is actually like 6'5
but he's all like hunched over and he's like
a weird little Australian
explosion man. Wait, Junkrat is 6'5?
He's super fucking tall
but he's all like hunched and he's got his head down
he's all like it looks like a hunchback
Yeah, I guess so
Wow, I thought he was a short boy
No, he's actually quite tall
But he never stands up
So like a regular orc is about like human size
Around 6 foot, 6 foot 2
Like average human male
In 40K terms
Yeah, but if he were to like stand up straight
He'd be much taller
Right, but they're all hunched over and shit like that
So they still a lot smaller
Yeah, they got green skin
And they got red blood
The reason they have green skin is because
yes, you were correct on the fungi meme.
They are kind of a half fungus.
So when the old ones kind of built them up,
their body type is half of like a terrestrial, you know, mammal, so to speak.
Yeah.
Not really a mammal, but, you know, it looks like a normal freaking person.
You know, they're bipedal.
Humanoid, yeah.
Yeah, perfect, humanoid.
And then they're also crossed with fungus.
And the reason that they're crossed with fungus,
I don't really know why exactly,
but because of this,
it has sprouted multiple other kinds of orc subspecies.
And these subspecies are things like squigs and squiggots
And also things called snotlings and Gretchen
Now you may have seen Gretchen Gretchen
Gretchen are like little goblin orcs
They look like goblins
They're much smaller
They got big old noses and the big old ears
They look like a wow goblin
They literally look like a wow goblin
Okay, yeah, yeah
And then they have snotlings which are like half-sized Gretchen
And so Gretchen like the smaller little guys
We normally use for like cooking and like delivering mess
and stuff to the actual big orcs.
Now with the green skinner red blood,
they have very dulled like pain receptors
and often will recover from pretty much fatal damage
with just like, it's funny
because Adeptus Mechanicus have seen orcs
take like a fuckload of bolter rounds
to their body and they'll come back a day later bigger
and it's just a bunch of scars all over their body.
They're just all scarred up
and they're just very angry.
apparently orcs have been constantly seen to be decapitated and then a pain boy will go take their head and sew it back on and then the orc is normal again
orcs have orcs have had like all their limbs cut off and then a pain boy will come up and sew them back on and then they're back in the fight it's really stupid
how does that work because like i get the pain receptors and oh we can recover real quickly from like gunshots
But if you get fucking decapitated, isn't that kind of game set match?
Like, there's not, I mean, you could sew it back on, but like there's a lot of other shit going on with your head getting cleaved off.
So 40K doesn't care to tell you that because why should it?
Fair.
But it's the law, right?
And it's a power of imagination, but a slight assumption, fungus is living in all cells.
Maybe it's still living and then you put the head back on and then it keeps on.
living. Maybe it has something to do with the fungus thing. That's a theory. Okay. I have no evidence
to back that up, but it makes a little bit of sense. So we're just going to say they're fungus.
Of course you can reattach their head. Why not? Yeah, you know, it just keeps on growing.
You're already suspending disbelief in that they're, you know, fungus creatures that were
raised up by alien gods. So what's putting a head back on going to really do to sure? Yeah, who
cares. I mean, pain boys
are operate very much on
like medical
medical methodology
from like the medieval
times from like 800
900. So it's very much like, oh no,
your leg's broken and they just kind of like saw it off
with like a dulled fucking hacksaw because that's
old medical.
But because
orcs have such like low pain receptors, they kind of
just don't care. I mean it'll hurt, but it won't
like it won't be super painful like a human.
Right, right.
So they just kind of,
they just kind of do it.
And they're like,
oh,
I'm back up,
I'm good.
And the thing is when the,
an orc actually does die,
they're fungi.
So they kind of like blow up and,
they don't blow up,
but they like eventually kind of decomposed
into a big cloud of spores
and fungus on the ground,
which will eventually,
you know,
grow back up into more orcs.
So often it makes orcs just ludicrously hard
get rid of because if you destroy
an orc invasion on a starship, unless
you burn the starship out
you might have orc invasion again
often you'll have like
a planet that stops an
orc invasion but then they'll be attacked
by orcs in like a hundred
years coming like that made a little tribe
in the forest. Right. Because there
were just still orcs there. Yep.
And they just grew up.
There's a hilarious
a hilarious image of 4chan image
of like a guardsman planet.
and it has like 945 quintillion guardsmen on it
and the joke is that the planet is just made of guardsmen
and they're constantly marching in a circle around the sun
and the best part is that it's right on the planet's description
it says orc presence low there are still some orcs
it could eventually be high if you just leave it I mean
it's just like there's this there are more guardsmen
than there have ever been people that have existed on earth
And there are still a few orcs.
Orks, yeah.
Besides that, orcs never stop growing.
Which is why often when we talk about culture, they respect the biggest orc, because it's kind of like a seniority.
Oh, because they're like the oldest orc, because they've been around long enough to get that big.
And they fight a lot, which makes them really big, buff and strong.
Oh, fair, fair, yeah.
Big orc boys.
But then I want to talk about squigs real quick, because squigs are the greatest.
So squigs.
shy I know to our viewers
that are listening you can't see this
but a squig I want to show
to post a picture of a squig real quick
but for those of you who can't see it
a squig is like an orange ball
with two feet
and a and like a little like lizard tail
comes like a little lizard
but with a gigantic
fucking spiked mouth
oh that's a squig
yeah yeah they got like those bunch of eyes
they got a big ass mouth
it looks like Kirby
but like a lizard version of Kirby
with a giant spiked mouth and feet
and like a little tail.
That looks like a satanic version of Kirby
in all fairness.
Yes, very much so.
If you ran into a demonic Kirby
in hell that has been corrupted
and driven insane,
definitely squig.
Pretty much.
And the greatest part about squigs
is that squigs are completely malleable
and they do anything and everything.
So a squig,
a squig is about the size of a house cat or like medium-sized dog.
However, squigs can increase and decrease in size, depending on what it is.
I literally have this in my notes.
Food, bombs, whatever the fuck.
Okay, here we go.
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Yeah, let's go.
We have attack squigs, bag squigs, bile squigs, bitey squigs, bomb squigs, boom squigs,
bowel torrent squigs, burn a squigs, buzzer squigs.
Zing squigs. Chewin squigs. Colossil Squig. Eating squig. Gark squig. Flesh heater squig. Gawg. Gawg. Squatheater squig. Squig. Squibg. Squibg Squig squid. Squig squid squig. Squig squid squig. Okay. Squigawrissucuscuscus. Pank. Piskhug
Hark. Pank. Pisk. Pryryxxed H squit. Spoky Skloidens. Squitin Skwitin. Squig-hugg-hug-hug-g-g-g-skig-ggggg-g-ggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg.
Stick squig, swabs squig, syringe squig, vaccine squig, vampire squig, and weird squig.
Squigs are cattle for food.
Squigs are meant to be eaten.
There is a thing in the game called a bomb squig where you attach a fuckload of bombs to it and it runs that enemy going,
and it just fucking explodes.
You've got targeting squigs, which is just a squig with a fucking laser eye like shoved into its eyeball.
Like a little lens just shoved into its eye and it used to give the orcs like better ballistic skill
Okay.
You've got a squig pipes are basically squigs that have been turned into fucking bagpipes and they're used for like
Play you've got you've got attack squigs which are like attack dogs and they run at them they start biting people
That's they got bitey squigs which are which it's it is they're they're fired out of cannons. They are used as food. They're used as food. They're used. They're used.
uses messengers.
They're like,
burn a squiggs.
A burn a squig can burst into flames
after being thrown.
Bowel Torrance squigs.
This name speaks for itself.
These squids are known to be
amongst the most revolting
and panic-producing
organisms in the galaxy.
Oh no.
Bowel torrent squigs.
As you were talking about him,
I was like, you know,
if he doesn't go over it,
I would be remiss if I did not ask
what a bowel torrent squig did.
Oh, let's not forget
about the face.
Face-eater squig.
You have face-eaters.
The face-eater squig is a tooth variant of the squig, used both as a weapon, and in the infamous
orc face-eating contests.
These squigs have a vicious mass of sharp teeth and claws, and in their active state, they
appear to just be a gnashing mouth with little else.
Wow.
Squids are ridiculous.
The ork and the squig both opened their mouth and bite in a parody of a kiss.
If the orc eats the squig, he wins.
If he keels over backwards, he loses, and usually the squig eats him.
Face-eater squigs.
So, that squig is literally just there for this fucking face-eating contest?
The face-eater squig.
Like, you'd think that that would be a great thing to use in a battle.
Like, oh, yeah, we've got this squig that will eat enemy faces.
Like, no.
That's, that's, that's, we're using that on ourselves.
That's for us.
That's for happy time.
That's for relaxation period.
Squig face eating contest.
One of my favorite squigs is literally,
there's actually a weapon,
or no,
it's a unit called the squig buggy
where they throw bomb squigs from the buggy
as they like drift around the battlefield
and they just explode.
It's actually a real model you can get.
It's great,
well,
I don't think it's actually great right now,
but it's really fun.
That sounds like it would be
the literal funniest model ever.
I mean,
they're pretty good.
They're not quite as good
as the shock jump dragsta
or the bull.
Boom dock a snaz wagon.
But we'll talk about those maybe late.
Jesus.
So moving on from the
physiology of orcs,
I'll talk about the orcs culture.
So there's actually a great quote
from the orcs about their culture.
Oh, there it is.
It's an Eldar philosopher.
It says, quote,
the orcs are the pinnacle of creation.
For them, the great struggle is one.
They have evolved a society
which knows no stress.
or angst? Who are we to judge them? We, Eldari, who have failed or the humans on the road to ruin
in their turn? And why? Because we saw answers to questions that an orc wouldn't even bother to ask.
We see a culture that is strong and despise it as crude. Orc culture, orcs don't get depressed.
They don't get like sad, or at least not often. They don't care about where they came from
or who made them. They don't have philosophy or or the,
idea of their purpose.
It's might makes right.
You go out, you always
listen to the biggest orc. Listen to
the big orc. Big orc, he know.
He knows what's up. You listen to that
big war orc. You fight.
So long as you got as you got some
crumping, which is what they call
like beat it on people.
Oh, okay. To get crumped.
So long as you got some crumpin, you know,
you live a warlike life. You're constantly
fighting and you got something to kill and you got
some ways to have a good time.
way, orc is happy. They think
that they are the greatest race ever.
Like they legitimately believe that they are
like the best. They're like, we ork, we
best race. Every other race, dumb, stupid.
They're never depressed.
Their currency is teeth.
That's right. Their currency is
is orc teeth. So they just
pop each other in the mouth. In general.
Oh, I was under
the understanding it had to be orc teeth.
It's just teeth period.
I mean, shy, I don't know if you can, I know if you can
correct me on this one. I thought it was just teeth
in general, so they kill a bunch
of humeys, they can get a bunch of teeth.
That makes more sense, actually.
Maybe they use hume teeth as like cents
instead of like dollars.
Ork teeth is like a hundred dollar bill.
Okay, she says it's primarily orc teeth.
All right, so orc teeth it is.
She said teeth, by the way.
Oh, yeah, well, sorry, because they say teeth.
Because they got the weird orc.
Because they got a talk grogous.
Oh no
I can't do a cockney-orch accent
And I don't want to try
At some point this episode
You have to
It's an orch episode
I refuse
I'm the one
I'm the one doing the teaching here
I don't have to force myself
That's fair
That's fair okay
But they yeah
They're just never ending fighting
And violence
Always listen to the biggest orc
Always warlike at all times
They don't think too hard
they breed in insane numbers.
Obviously they don't fuck because they're fungus, but...
Yeah.
You know, the way it works is the biggest orc pushes around the smaller orcs,
which in turn push around the Gretchen at the same time.
So a big orc will start bonk in other orcs who will in turn bonk on the Gretchen
because they can.
And the Gretchen are constantly bullied.
In fact, this hilariousness where like, I think it's the Killikam.
The Killikan is an orc vehicle armed by Gretchen.
And often, once the Gretchen is promoted to being a Killikin pilot,
they'll go and find the Gretchen that bullied him the most
and immediately step on him and kill him.
Makes sense.
I mean, if you're bigger and you've got the means to,
that seems to be the orc thing to do.
Wow, Killikans are crazy.
Shia just lost the picture of him.
Wow, those are...
Those are...
Like big old rust buckets with saws and missile launchers
and spikes every...
They're great.
That is a killer cam.
Yep.
That's the joke.
That's the joke.
I know.
It's just registering with me.
Now, we do got to talk about the orc religion real quickly.
I want to talk about them real quick.
The orcs believe in two gods, gork and morke.
Have you actually never heard of gork and work yet?
No.
As soon as you said it, all I could think of was like morke and Mindy.
Not quite that.
Not quite like that.
Not quite, not Gork and Mork.
Gork and Mork are...
Okay, so the orcs have two...
Right, Gork and Mork.
Gork and Mork.
Now, Gork is brutal, but cunning.
Now, Mork is cunning but brutal.
I'm speaking verbatim here.
So they believe that Gork and Mork are the most powerful orcs in existence,
and they're constantly fighting each other.
They are constantly beating on each other all the time,
because they say gork is you know he's he's brutal and cunning he'll just smack an adversary in the head really hard really hard with a big old club quote unquote the size of a comet but morke you know he he's cunning but brutal he's sneaky he'll wait till the foe turns around and then he'll clobber him it's gork and morke and they're constantly fighting each other and the orcs and i do believe that these gods actually do exist um i don't know if it's just work and morc actually exist this is
isn't like...
I'm not sure.
I think they do.
I think they're in the warp
in their own realm,
unlike the realm of chaos,
and they're gork and their mork.
And they're constantly fighting against demons
because the demons are being annoying
and they got to crump them
because they're gork and morgue.
I think that they truly are actual gods.
I don't...
And they're just hanging out in the warp,
just beating up demons because we're orcs,
we're gorg, we're morgue,
that's what we do.
I think yeah, gork and mork exists
And they're there and like zinchen shit
Probably just chill in there and then gork runs up
And like bongs him in the head and then he like probably leaves
I don't know
I don't fucking know what happens
I mean that seems like the most apropos
Gods that the orcs could have
So
Gork and morke
Allegedly the emperor himself fought gork and morke in the warp at some point
I would
love to see that serious
M's, you know, he's very
serious, very stoic, very
and then fucking Gork and
Mork just balk him on the head
Go to horny
Go to horny jail, Emperor, you had
20 sons, bonged.
Like, in my head, I just imagine, you know,
those carnival games where the mole's head
pops up and bongk? I'm just imagining
the emperor's head popping up and gork
and morc just have like the big mallet and pop.
A lot of orcs
like the emperor, though.
They think he's the biggest and the strongest of all the humeys.
Oh, that's fair.
Yeah, yeah.
So they actually, I mean, I don't know of respect, but they appreciate him.
There's actually an ongoing theory that the emperor is only still alive right now because the orcs believe him to be.
And he would have died on the golden throne a while ago if the orcs didn't believe that he was alive.
It's more of a joke.
It's probably not actually true.
But it's a good joke.
I like it.
I mean, if enough orcs believe.
that's where the theory comes from.
If every single orc believes it.
So great time to get into that.
So the orcs all consistent to the old ones,
you know, by the brain boys,
they all have a little bit of psychic power.
And because of that, on its own,
each individual orc doesn't really happen.
But when the orcs get together
and they all believe in something,
they tend to have pretty ridiculous results.
That's why the power of imagination,
because they're not smart enough
to actually use this power for anything.
But because they're dumb enough to believe it,
it always works.
The irony is that the orcs would be significantly less powerful
if they were smarter.
That makes a crazy amount of sense.
Yeah, I guess, I guess.
I know.
it's so fucking weird.
It's like the weirdest way to describe
and it's kind of blowing my mind a little bit but yeah
I get it. Because the idea
is like they will take a bunch of
sheet metal and a muffler
and they'll pour gas
randomly on the vehicle and then the
fucking vehicle starts driving.
And it works.
And then like there's funny stories where like the orcs will be
driving a vehicle and then it'll run out of gas
and then one oracle will be like, did you
follow up with gas? And the other oracle will be like,
Of course I filled it up with gas.
And then the vehicle will start working again because the big orcs said he filled it up.
So everyone believes up.
Oh, it's got gas.
Of course.
And it's just,
yeah,
pretty much.
Like,
they believe that red is the fastest color.
So they'll paint their shit red and they will go quicker.
They will go really fast,
in fact.
I know that the stealth guys are purple because have you ever seen a purple or?
Purple is the sneakiest color.
I think yellow is the luckiest.
Yeah, black is tough.
Black color is tough.
I didn't say gold is the best color,
because gold.
I think yellow explodes harder.
It's every, everything is just,
it just,
or I think green is the best color.
I think green is the best color.
And then like gold is like the,
the,
or something. Yeah, blue is lucky, yellow is wealthy. Everything has its own deal with the orcs.
But I want to tell you two great stories about orcs real quick here. I think these are both
fictional, but I mean, so is 40K, so who cares? Yeah. So a bunch of imperial guardsmen, right?
They're defending a spot. And the orcs just keep on coming. They just keep on coming.
They don't stop. And eventually the guardsmen run out of ammunition with their last guns.
And then the company commander has an idea. He points his...
glass gun at an enemy and he goes, bang!
And then an orc falls over dead.
And then the guards would look at him and they're like,
and then all the orcs just start falling over.
Damn.
Because they believe they still got ammo, I assume.
Until a group of six orcs run over the hill
and they just won't fall over from all the banging.
And then they hear chanting in the distance.
And then as they get closer, they hear,
I'm a tank, I'm a tank, I'm a tank, I'm a tank, I'm a tank, I'm a tank.
No fucking way
I think it's bullshit
But I love the story
It's a great story
No we that's that's that has to be real
Because that's fucking great
It's just like stupid
Countered by more stupid
Countered by like ultra stupid
There's one more I got
So the orcs
There's a group of orcs called the Free Buddhas
And the Free Buddas are all
They're pirate orcs
They're pirate orcs
They all have pirate hats
And peg legs
and they roll around in starships.
They're awesome.
Why are they called the free Buddhas?
Because like freebooter or like free
so they're pirates, so they're free Buddhas.
I was like, do they believe in like Buddha?
No, no, no, no, no, not Buddha.
Fucking like free Buddha.
Oh my God.
It's the orcs.
It makes no sense.
It's great.
Continue.
They're yurg orcs.
They're talking like a pirate accent.
All right.
But they were, all the orcs were there, and they were fixing a ship.
The ship had a whole bunch of hole breaches.
And so they were fixing up the ship and fixing all their holes.
And then another orc ship goes next to them and decides to help them out with their stuff.
So the orcs jump from their ship to the other side.
And the orcs that jump over there is have a bunch of helmets and spacesuits on, you know?
And then they're looking at the orcs repairing the ship.
And the orcs don't have spacesuits on.
and they're like
oh lads
why the fuck don't you have like
space suits on don't you know you can't
survive in space
and then all the orcs that were working on it
immediately died
a testament to the orcs
stupidity and their power
all the orcs that were in the vacuum of space
immediately decompressed and died
jeez
oh shy said that freebooter is literally
just a word that refers to pirate
See free Buddhas.
I didn't know that.
I heard you say free Buddha and I was like, wait, huh?
How does Buddha get into 40K?
You know, we can't have Buddha, you know, because it's not the emperor.
That's true.
On the topic of crazy why imagination stuff backfiring on them, the story people kept telling me,
I forget which commissaire it is.
but like the orcs believe
Comissar Yare Yark
Yes, Commissar Yark
Every time I hear his name I remember it
I can never remember it on my own
And they like believe that he's like
Immortal, Unkillable
Strong as shit
And so he is
And they can never beat him
Even if they do have him outnumbered
Because they just believe
That he's fucking amazing and immortal
The commissar Yark is like
The main guy
He's, when we talk about Imperial Garwe
We're talking about Commissory Yark
He's a fucking badass
He was given the opportunity to retire in the guard, which is like unheard of.
They gave him like a world and everything, and he was like Nodog.
Wow.
Because there's this or character called Gaskill, which.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
So, Gaskill model.
Yeah, Gaskill model is great.
But his full name is Gaskol Magu-Urak Throcka.
And he is the biggest orc.
He's the big orc.
He's the huge warlord.
and he's considered some of the prophet of gork and morke.
Normally, orcs follow gork or morke,
but he's the prophet of gork and morke.
So he's like head honcho.
He's the guy.
He's big boy orc.
And he even has his quote,
I'm warlord Gaisal,
mock Iraq Throcka,
and I speak with the word of the gods.
I'm the prophet of the wah
and whole world's bird in my boot prints.
Wow.
He is huge.
I can have a whole episode on Gaz
because he has done
insane shit
like Gaz has has led so many
so an orc wa
so wah is something that they yell of course right
but an orc waugh
is basically just a gigantic
apocalyptic war
fighting of orcs so
basically maybe one orc
maybe has like a vision that gork or morke tells them something and then that orc gets all
excited for it for murder and then all the orcs around him get all excited for murder and then
more orcs like oh my god is it wotime is it why they all start going crazy they start building
giant fucking mecks and like vehicles and things called like uh gorkanauts and morcanots
which are these gigantic like seven story tall fucking walkers like stompas and and and burn up
and DACA jets and boom DACA
SNAS wagons, etc.
And it
and they all the orcs basically
just for no reason but to want
to, they mobilize
and they then lead
like a gigantic
crusade of death through like
multiple star systems.
Jesus. An orc wa might
be one of the most devastating
things in 40K. It's just
a torrent of fucking
orcs. It is a flood.
of orcs. There's a great guardsman quote
where he's like, where he's like,
I fired every shot of my
lasgun. I fired my heavy
bolter until the barrel
melted him. We ran out of
all of our, like, machine gun
ammo, an hour in and all of our mortar
ammo, two hours after that.
And the orcs did not stop
coming and they were laughing the whole way.
Jesus.
Like, it's interesting
because we talk about the guard, right?
And how it's just like a never
ending influx of just guardsmen being thrown at the problem.
It's funny because a lot of people assume that the guards just have a simple idea of like throw bodies at them.
Yeah, yeah.
But guardsmen are like company commanders and generals in the guard are sometimes more strategically intelligent than the things you'd find in the Marines, the space marines.
Because often when you fight like tyrannids and orcs, the fucking 40 million guardsmen,
are outnumbered, like 10 to 1.
Yeah.
There are so many orcs.
Jeez.
So, like, it just gets to a point where they just reach a fever pitch, and they're just like,
we need to kill.
And they just go on like this pilgrimage of death throughout star system just because,
fuck it, we need to kill.
Pretty much, it's to cause as much destruction as possible.
And what's worse is that because, because.
becomes that insanely powerful,
it surges their like power
of imagination because there are so many
more orcs. Oh, that's
true. Like if they get all of
them going after one cause
and they're all believing, ooh.
Oh yeah, that does sound awful to fight.
If the orcs stopped
killing each other. If the orcs
stopped, like, and they all
united under one banner, the orcs
would take over the galaxy.
Like, there is, there is no,
they would destroy the humans in their
They would destroy all the tyranns, even.
The Eldar, the Kron's.
If the only thing stopping the orcs from actually destroying the entire galaxy is the fact that they're idiots.
Instead of 40K toning down their power through balancing or anything like that, they're toned down because they're just dumb.
Their balance checks are yeah, these guys are fucking stupid.
Exactly.
And it's perfect.
It's all that's needed.
Well, there you go.
That's kind of crazy, though, that if they just never started, like, infighting, and they were just united, just game over.
It's an orc universe, and we're just living in it.
Pretty much, the orc wa is, and is basically akin to the apocalypse.
Like, there is a point where, where you would look down from, like, from like an airplane or something in the guard, and you would look at the orcs, and it would just,
just look like a sea of green ants
that just does not end.
It will never end.
They just keep on coming.
So how does one stop this?
Because it sounds like if you're in the way of a wah,
you're dead.
You have no chance.
There's no escaping that.
Too many numbers.
Too many orcs.
Too much imagination.
Like, did they just get tired?
And they're just like, yeah,
we've satiated our bloodlust.
Let's go home.
Like, how does one?
stop a wah.
Often they kill each other
once they've ran out of
of worlds or they becomes kind of
a problem. I mean, you know,
a wah can only last for so long.
After enough time, after the
wah has taken place for quite some
quite a while, they will
you know, you can only
be under one banner for so long before they start
trying to get each other.
But
I mean
because
exterminatist really is the only good way
from being honest
So I'm I'm assuming
The the the base of that word is exterminate
But like how?
Like what did they blow the fucking planet up?
Oh, you just you just sacrifice whole planets that they're on
And just blow it up with like a virus bomb or just destroy the planet?
Yeah like there's a there's a quote from an inquisitor and he's like
He's like
I toilet with the green skins once
and that was my greatest failure.
From now I just do exterminatus on the planet
they're taken over because there's no fucking way
I can get rid of them.
Often, like, I mean, if you were to invade an orc planet,
not only do you have to deal with the fact
that the entire planet is covered in orcs
but then even if you kill all them,
now that's covered in spores
and they're going to build more orcs
and more orcs are going to spawn
And so at that point, they're just like, fucking virus bomb the shit.
Just nuke it.
Fuck if I care.
Who cares?
Get rid of it.
It's too strong.
Okay, it's actually a hilarious thing.
In the tyrantids, there's a thing called a gene stealer, and it basically can take over
your genetic material to make it so that you, uh, they infiltrate like human cities and
then eventually, like, turn the entire populace into worshipping tyrannids and shit.
They're pretty cool.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
but they can actually infect orcs too.
The problem, the problem is that the gene stealer called orcs are normally way too calm
compared to all the other orcs that they get their ass killed because the orcs are like,
that's not, that's not right, that's not very orc and they'll kill them.
Because they're too calm.
They're too calm so they get killed because they're not orc.
That's great.
They're orc enough.
Shy makes a good point too.
often exterminatus a planet
isn't always the best option because orcs
live on death worlds often like they might just
live
oh god so so like even a
virus bomb or like just nuking the planet
might not work like do you have to
literally just destroy the fucking planet
you might need to like core crack it
you might need to like blow it up into chunks
yeah like
and that's not always an option
there's that resilient
they are
So if the law were a little smarter and they just,
or if the orc were a little smarter and they just kept on whying and they could just keep on like keep it under one banner,
everybody's fucked.
There's just no way to combat those numbers.
Pretty much.
Pretty much.
Like,
Wow.
Pretty much.
They are kept in line entirely by their idiocy.
I knew they were a problem.
And I knew that like the imagination thing and stuff was like a big deal.
damn, I did not realize
they were that insane.
Yeah, they are, they are
really, really nutty.
There's a Tuska demon
killer.
Okay.
I'm assuming this is someone
that killed a Tusk demon?
Well, I believe his name was
Tusca.
He called himself the demon killer.
Because he
he currently
okay he's the leader of an
orc wa that is currently
in Corn's
realm of chaos in the warp
oh
and he is
in a never ending battle
he they are
battling eternally in the
warp for fun and for sport
against demons because
corn finds it funny
and Tuska and the group
like enjoy it
So he literally has a 24-7 gladiatorial arena for eternity in Corrin's domain in the warp because it's fun.
And because Corrin thinks it's funny.
It's just like, yeah, sure, go ahead.
Jeez.
The, um, uh, it's really our comic, there's, it's strange because, like, they're comic relief, but it's like, at the same time, they're kind of no joke if you're fighting them.
Like, the comic relief only goes so far until it's like, oh, yeah, by the way.
There's a flood of them and you're fucked.
Underestimating the green skins is a fast, fast trip to the grave.
Actually, it's funny that you mentioned earlier, Commissar Yarek.
There's actually something that Gaskill said where he's like,
Humis are all weak scum that deserve to get stomped,
except for one-eye Yarek, he knows how to fight.
Yarrick is like, Yarrick fucking, like, his arm is gone.
He replaced it with an orc claw.
Oh!
And he can use it.
I think he can only use it because orcs believe he can.
But they thought that Yarek had a laser eyeball.
They thought he had one.
So he decided to give himself a laser eyeball.
So he put an eye laser.
So he's like in game.
He can zap you with his eye.
It's great.
Commissar Yarek is such a Chad.
He's very much respected.
They have like a rivalry, him and Gasco.
He actually has an eye laser, huh?
Yeah, he's like the scouring eye.
No, the scouring eyes is necrons.
It's got, it's like the bail eye or something.
It's great.
It's the best.
Oh, so his arm isn't like an actual, like, green orc arm.
It's like one of their robot arms?
Yeah, the orcs have, like, things called power claws, which they are, like, really useful.
Okay.
So he's got a power claw arm.
Oh, I was just imagining, like, a dude that had, like, a literal orc arm, like, green and clawed and, like, just muscular as fuck.
No, though I don't think the power claw actually even works at a fundamental level.
I think it only works because the orcs think it works.
I believe it does.
Because it's so funny because often the mechanicist guys, right, they'll finish off an orc invasion and they'll pick up an orc gun and it'll just fall apart into pieces.
Or like a vehicle will just, like there's like no steering wheel or gas pedals.
It just doesn't work.
and nothing works
and they see the
the machinicus believe that the orcs have their own
variant or they believe that the omnisiah
and the machine spirit is like in
the orc weapons
so it allows them to function
but only in orc hands
it has like a twisted
demented machine spirit
which is why it only works for them
I mean orch tech isn't really
well I guess I was going to say
Ork Tech can't fall into the wrong hands, unless you're Yarek.
Yeah, well, Yark's a Chad, that's why.
He's so, Omega, Chad.
Is that, is that going to be the artwork request for this episode that we, the obligatory,
like, some sort of Chad, uh, Yark?
No, we got to, like, we got to double it up, though.
It's like, we got to like the Chad Yark and the Chad Gaskell.
Because I don't think either of them are bad to be virgins.
They're just both Chad.
It's like they have an artwork piece where it's the Chad.
morke and the Chad gork
brutally cunning cunningly brutal
will crump you will stomp you it's great
but I want to talk about a couple
of the
units that orcs have because some of them are hilarious
I want to talk about the
shock jump dragsta
all right
the shock jump dragsta are
they
they are a like a
like a speeder like a
drag racer right
but they often
will teleport themselves
into the warp and
de-teleport themselves back out
randomly in different areas.
Oh.
And so they can just bypass objects
by constantly like zapping themselves in,
zapping themselves out.
In the game, they can actually like
teleport around the battlefield, which is pretty awesome.
That is pretty dope.
But one of my favorite things is the shock
attack gun.
And the shock attack gun is a gigantic
like worldly,
electric weapon.
And in game, it has
a damage of D6,
which is really high, and an armor penetration
of minus 5, which is
really high.
But its strength
is 2D6.
And the reason for this
is because in the
model, which Shia has posted, but for those
that you can't see, in the model, it
sucks up a Gretchen
or a snotling directly
into a tube.
and then what it does
is it uses the
weapon's ability
to then teleport
said Gretchen
like at the enemy
the reason it rolls
for strength
is because often
if you have a high enough strength
it will teleport the unit
inside the enemy's body
Oh I've heard about this one
So if you roll like
two sixes or something
with it then you have teleported the Gretchen
like into the heart of a space
Marine or like directly into the gears of a tank and it just everything gets like doesn't work
anymore because there's a fucking dude in it or or sometimes you'll roll two one so your
strength is two and that's what happens when you teleport the Gretchen right outside of the
radius and it just like splats on their armor and like a like a red mist oh a storm
Boys, Storm Boys are orcs that have shoved a giant rocket on their back.
And they are extremely like anarchistic and they they constantly like go around and they fly in with their with their huge like rockets.
There's even a they try to like hit people with their their weapons at the speed of like a ballistic missile.
And so it's you'll realize that it's not a missile coming your way.
It's an orc with a big club, and he's just screaming on the way down.
That is fucking hilarious.
Often, there's a rule that allows them to, like, double their movement in game.
But then you have to roll a dice for every Stormboy, and for every one,
their rocket just fails, and they explode and die.
Oh.
Oh, that's one of my favorite things, right?
There's the pain boy, the doctor, and you can heal orcs,
but if you roll a one, you accidentally, like, shank the orc, and you kill him.
It sounds like it's, it's, it is quite the double-edged sword to play as orcs, because on the one side, if you roll really good, you're going to fuck some cats up.
But if you do not have the heart of the dice on your side, you're going to fuck yourself up and just blow up in the air.
Your doctor's going to shank you and kill you.
And it sounds like quite the, quite the, uh, coin flip when you're playing.
I mean, it definitely can be in terms of like shooting and stuff.
They do have some pretty good stuff
Like they got something called the Burn Obama
And the Burn Obama is like
The Bain of My Existence
In terms of like the in game
Basically it's a giant
It's a it's a it's a it's a flamer vehicle
But the Burn Obama is has a special stratagem
Which is like an ability you can use
In game called fly a flyin Edbutt
And what you do is you fly the model over an area
And then you immediately explode
in the concept that the orc decided to attempt to headbut the enemy by by comacosying their plane.
And it does like a shitload of damage.
It's actually really fucking powerful.
But the flying edbut is a really good ability and it hurts real bad.
It's a really good ability.
Yeah, probably.
Well, I mean, maybe they probably don't have the time to say it.
That's hysterical that they're just like, yeah, I'm.
I'm going to headbut that enemy with my plane.
With my face.
With my plane's face.
I'm just going to just,
it's like,
ah,
it didn't work out too well.
I bet,
I bet you there are,
there are,
there arecs that have survived a floying egg,
bat.
They probably have been,
like,
ejected from the sea
and then like,
like ran over and smacked like a human.
Yeah.
That's a double death.
You hit him with the,
the floin aid butt,
and then he flies out
and he just,
rolls over a shitload of humans and
Oh, Chai tells me that if
they survive, that they build cars
out of their planes. I think I know that
I think I know that it's called
the mega, the something
scrap jet.
The mega something scrapjet or something
of that nature. I think I know that thing.
The scrap jet is nuts.
So it's a mini, so can you do that
in game? Can you do the floy in headbutt and
actually like? No, no, no, no.
It blows up your thing, which is too bad.
But that would be a little bit
does.
But like,
crazy.
The orcs in game,
like they have the rule,
uh,
uh,
Dhaka,
DACA,
DACA,
which is just,
every time you roll
a shoot,
every time you roll a six,
you therefore,
just get to shoot again.
And that works with everything,
including pistols to rocket launchers.
So,
you know,
you might have three rocket shots,
and then you'll end up with like five
if you just roll really well.
Damn.
In fact,
I didn't,
wait,
I didn't even mention DACA at all
in this episode.
Holy shit.
I can't live I forgot about that
Yeah
Or DACA is
They say DACA because DACA is the sound
Of a gun firing
So they're constantly like
Daka da da da da da da
They keep on the
You know
They keep on yelling DACA
DACA because they love DACA
You always have to have more DACA
More DACA
More DACA
They're always like they love
DACA and if you ever say like
Do we have enough DACA
Like how fucking dare you
Get back in line
There's always more DACA
People have been killed for less
They don't even aim well
They're terror
It's shooting, but they just have such a good time that they're just running around yelling daca, dakadaka.
So I think what I've learned from Orks is that the Warhammer 40K universe is the perfect universe for them to live in.
It's all suffering, it's all fighting, it's all strife.
It's like Ork Paradise in this universe.
Pretty much. They love it.
Orcs are the happiest.
A lot of people ask what's the least evil faction in Warhammer?
A lot of people would say orcs, I'm torn
because orcs are actually quite savage
because they have dulled pain receptors
they actually therefore find it really interesting
when other species are in pain
so they'll often like break the legs of people
or Eldar and like sling their intestines around and shit
for fun. So they're actually quite
horribly savage to other people
Yeah.
But they don't see it as like evil.
They're not, they're never like, yeah, they're never like malicious.
They do it because they're savage and they think it's fun.
They have a good time.
You know, I guess the only other option is like tyrannids because they're just bug, but I don't know.
Yeah, they're just bugs infesting.
At least or, you know, at least they're having a good time.
They're smiling and happy.
I mean, who else can you say that for in the 40K universe?
And they got bomb school.
Whigs.
Yes, they have bomb squigs and face eating competitions and what a merry time to be an
orc.
I want to make a Makari model, which is like a little Gretchen that falls around Gaskell
with like a banner.
And I want to take that model and instead turn it into an orc with a bagpipe squig.
And he just plays like, he's like a Scottish fucking kilt.
And he just runs around playing the bagpipe squig.
next to a gas.
Oh yeah, I didn't talk about that.
So do you know, I'm not sure how well you know about the rules, but like, do you know about
what an Invol save is?
I'm assuming it's a roll of the dice that saves you from damage and makes it invulnerable.
Okay, so you got like armor saves, which are like armor.
And the Inval saves are normally things like Force Fields and shit, right?
Things like what Doge Van Dyer had.
normally they're not as good
it's like okay if I get hit by like a really powerful weapon
instead of having no save because of my armor
I have like a little bit of a save
okay um the
the game had like six up invals
like on a roll of six or higher is
it's kind of a common
five up give or take
four up is pretty uncommon
if you have a four up inval save you're pretty tanky
three ups used to be a little bit more common
now they're almost not even existing right now
because they're just
just so fucking strong.
Yeah.
Two up Inval saves are non-existent,
except for, I think, two circumstances.
One of them is the Dark Eldar Arkham,
and the reason is because the first time you fail it,
it's gone for the rest of the game.
And the other one is Makari,
the Gretchen flag bearer for Gaskell.
He does almost no damage,
and he is like a completely, practically worthless model.
That's not worthless,
but he's very, very, like, mediocre.
Yeah.
But he has a two-up Inval save
from his special rule, suspiciously lucky.
Macarius is known to being the luckiest Gretchen of all time.
He was once killed by being sat on
and then until he wasn't killed
and then he came back alive or something.
He's just really lucky
to the point where he might be one of the tankiest units
in the entire game of 40K.
Oh.
This tiny Gretchen,
because he's just lucky.
So how did he, he's just, he's just lucky?
He's just really lucky.
I don't know.
I don't fucking know, man.
It's all right.
Who cares?
I vaguely remember some sort of shitstorm on Twitter because like, uh, he got sat on and he got
killed and they never explained why and everybody was like, oh, that's bullshit.
How dare you do that to like our favorite?
And then GW was like, oh, you liked him?
Uh, I guess he's not dead.
Here's a new mini of him.
Yep. It looks cool, too. He's got a cool little...
He's just really lucky. I don't know.
He's great. There's a lot of...
There's a lot of good or characters.
I figured he'd be more blue if he was lucky.
No, no, no, no. If you're not green, if you're not green, you get bullied hard, normally killed.
Oh, all righty then.
You better not...
If you are anything that isn't a green orc, you are a...
Got a got a target on your head.
You will not last.
All right, then.
There are so many great or characters.
Boss Snickrot, leader of the sneaky Gits,
boss Zagstruck,
Captain Bad Rock.
There's just so many.
Obviously, you got Big Man, Gascoel, Throcka.
The naming is just great.
I love the orc names so much.
What are some other ones we got here real quick?
Megatrack Scrapjet, custom booster blasters.
Um,
Ruck-a-Truck
Squigbuggies
Scorches,
Blitz-O-Bomas-Bomb,
Blasta Jet,
Chin-Nork
Warcopter,
Luda's,
Killikans,
death dreads,
bone breakas,
Squiggots,
Mega Dread,
Mecha Dread,
Canon Wagon,
Death,
Death Rola,
Battle Fortress,
Kill Crusher.
It's just,
these are all
units you can use in game.
Something about the more direct
ones like cannon wagon is
just... I assume it's just a big
cannon on a wagon.
Just very direct,
very to the point where dumb orcs,
we don't care, here's a big fucking
can. I'm actually kind of curious. The
cannon wagon is equipped with a big
shooter and a super cannon.
Oh, it can be equipped
with the three big shooters.
Excellent. So it's, so it's a, it's a
it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a
it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a
it is. It's multiple cannons on a wagon.
What's the one that you have shy, the Forge World one again?
Was that the Grot Megat Tank?
Oh.
I think it was, yes, the Grot Megat tank where, oh no, they got rid of that ability.
Oh, right, because they redid the Forge World Compendium.
That's right. That's right.
Uh-oh.
Okay, it's a lot less RNG now, which is too bad.
Back in the day, back in the day, this ability,
had this great thing where you would roll a dice
and it had a bunch of
yeah this looks a lot better
than it used to be but I think it has a little bit less
of like the flare to it where all
the grots inside of it if you roll the dice
on a one they would like have
mutiny and you couldn't shoot that turn
because they would all be beating each other up
on a six they would shoot too
well and they get plus one to hit but they could only
fire at one target which was fine
but they have like all these issues
like that where your movement characteristic
was 2D6
your weapons were like 2d6 dice
it's hilarious
anyway I'm getting off track we could talk about
orc shit for like a year it's so much fun
we honestly
thoroughly enjoyed learning about the orcs today
I
good good
they're fucking weird and I love it
I can I can see why Shai loves them
so goddamn much
do you have a
do you have any questions
anything you like to ask before we
before we finish this off.
Are you sure?
Are you absolutely sure
you can't give us
your best orc impression?
I'm not gonna, okay.
There are a couple,
there are a couple signs
of that guy
when you play Warhammer
and one of them
is when you're on the other side
of the table
and he starts doing
orc impressions.
When that happens,
I'm like,
ooh, I'm not interested in this.
Do people actually do that?
Okay, listen,
I love Warhammer.
We all do.
Warhammer,
is absolutely the domain of nerds.
We all know this.
Yeah.
And you'll often get those people who are,
who will be on the other side of the table with the Cheeto hands.
And the,
the,
what's grumping you get?
It's all this fucking bullshit.
And they'll, like,
they'll roll three-sixes and just pull their head back in it and yell wot
at the top of their lungs.
Oh, no.
And they're doing this in, like, a public area.
And we get those people.
We should have an episode on that guy, shy.
We should have an episode entirely.
on that guy. That would be a fantastic episode.
That'd be perfect.
Oh my goodness.
Oh, I can tell my story of, oh, my stories.
Oh, my God.
You're that guy's story.
Yeah.
Oh, there's one more rule I want to talk about.
Okay, there's a great rule called the boss is watch him.
Where if an orc unit fails morale, instead of running, the boss just immediately kills two orcs
and does damage to them,
and then the morale is passed
because the boss is watching
don't run away.
Oh, God.
Oh.
I like the orcs.
The orcs are great.
They are the best.
They are the best,
and we would not have it any other way.
Mm-mm.
Mm-mm.
Take us home, Ricky.
All right, I got you.
So next episode is on the Lamenters.
I got to do a lot of research for the lamenters.
We'll figure this one out.
You got to do them right, man.
A lot of pressure.
The people donated for this, man.
They wanted this.
I mean, I pulled off Krieg decently well, I think.
So I'm a little bit, I think I'm okay.
I got it.
Yeah, I think you did real well with Krieg.
I mean, I don't know Warhammer, but I, you know, I learned a lot in the Krieg episode.
Krieg are fan favorites.
So are lamenters, we'll see.
Besides that, thank you to all of our fantastic patrons over on patreon.com.
Such as That's Ridiculous.
You guys have been going insane.
If you're curious, hey, what's the next goal?
Well, our next goal is at a clean 2000, and we'll start uploading to the YouTube channel
various different kinds of game and model-related content, perhaps like showing off our armies,
and especially, and hopefully, we'll reach there when the Warhammer Dark Tide comes out,
because then we'll have probably some fantastic games of all of us together playing Dark Tide,
which would be really fun.
Besides, I'm super excited for that.
Yeah, yeah.
Besides that, for everyone else, D.K., where can they find you?
Everywhere at D.K. Diamanty's, Twitter, Twitch, YouTube, Real D.K. Diamanty's on Instagram,
because I'm not rich enough to buy up the rights to it.
Go ahead, Bricky. Where do they find you?
They find me at Twitch.tv slash Bricky.
I stream almost daily.
We've got lots of other fantastic things that also say bricky on them,
like Twitter and YouTube.
You can, of course, find Shy at either quite shallow or quiet shy in many different areas.
And as for that, I am really excited for the next one.
I'm super excited.
We will see you in a week.
In a week.
Lament.
We'll be back in a week.
