All those discussions about "humans are space orcs" are gonna seem real silly in 2134 when we make contact with actual space orcs

Because I keep forgetting to post it during the day and I scroll through tumblr at obscene hours of the night now, I might as well do it now.

Recently I finished painting up my Ork Combat Patrol, and I'm really proud of it! It looks pretty good seeing as how I painted most of them with artist acrylics and craft paints, though now that I've drank the miniature paint (specifically Vallejo) kool-aid, I will never want to go back. But that's enough rambling, so here they are!

Lore under the cut, if you're into that

Da Pink Plundras lead by their fearsome Kaptin Arrvyrsa da Kunnin' are a band of Freebootaz that wander the stars and plunder the worlds of whatever unfortunate systems the tides of the warp decide to spit them out in. Known for their tendency to loot and salvage as much as a self respecting Deffskull, with the cunning brutality and brutal cunning to match the Goffiest Goffs and the most tactical Blood Axe, Arrvyrsa sails his ship into the warp supposedly at "Gork (or Mork's) will", trusting in the Great Green Gods to send him and his crew wherever they can get into the most trouble.

A bit unorthodox, but common for a Freeboota Kaptin, Arrvyrsa happily sells his services and his crew to whatever or whoever can pay his extortionate fees, impress him in a display of cunning wiles or brutal violence, or indulge his hunger for battle. It would not be uncommon to his crew to fight alongside the humans of both Chaos and the Imperium, begrudingly with the T'au, and skeptically with the Aeldari. Though he learned his lesson about turning his back on a Drukhari after an unfortunate incident.

Garrin Skullsmasha, his right hand Nob and his most trusted scallywag, leads his Butchaz with such cunning and ferocity that whenever Arrvyrsa needs a job done quickly, quietly, and brutally, Garrin is the one he sends on his way. Though he offered him his own suit of mega armor, the Nob refused, preferring to stick with his Boyz over getting a fancy suit of armor. Dragmaw was the ship navigator, weirdboy worth his salt and then some. Which was important, as he always started hollering and screaming about some "Gravewalker" and an "Aeldari with a bad temper" while blowing the brains out of whatever poor Boyz were stuck taking care of him.

Ol' Pinkie was a tough Nob, as loyal as a Squig and as dumb as one too, charging into battle with such ferocity and anger that Gork must have surely smiled upon him. When Bogguts, the big mek, told him he could be even stompier and killy-er, he leaped at the opportunity. Literally, he dove feet first into the Deffdread. Now he's known as Ol' Pinkie, mostly because it's the only name he'll respond to ever since all the circuitry fried his brain. Now he tesrs through the enemy with such ferocity that one could mistakenly assume that there's a rabid squig piloting it.

The orks of Da Squigeon Squad were seen as odd, even by the misfit standards of the Plundras. They were recruited from a Blood Axes warband and were highly regimented and disciplined; the only requirements that Arrvyrsa had for his airforce. Flying in their rickety scrap Deffkoptas, the three members of Squigeon Squad act as fast hitting nuisances in the backline, firing off barrages of rockets with psychotic glee.

Now they wander the stars, routinely crashing their ship and spending months or even years to plunders and loot until they rebuild their ship and take off once more into the great unknown. Arrvyrsa has been making some comments about how great it'd be to get into a fight with "da stunty boyz" in the Leagues of Votann.

Do you ever just want to add a minor world building thing to a world but just don’t know how… like I was thinking that it would be funny to have a bunch of different kid movie magic be cannon. Like honey I shrunk the kids, or you know the cupboard that makes toys alive.

I was thinking just a regular world… but there is a new pest. Be ware if your hose gets infected with orks. Some kid had this cupboard and decided to put their ork miniatures in it… they got most of them back to plastic but 1 got eaten by a bird… now 20 years later they are everywhere

Ork gender

I saw another meme.

I have a little bit more time for this one but it's still wrong. Disregarding the fact that the concept of non-binary gender identity requires a notion of a binary gender model to reject so Tyranids at least are no more non-binary than my cat (or the insects that the hive structure is clearly based on). Um, Orks are more complicated.

It doesn't follow that because orks in particular reproduce asexually they therefore have no concept of gender, any more than the human model of gender is an inevitable result of us reproducing sexually. Gender is a system by which humans attribute social significance to physical differences. Orks do this, but they don't do it the same way humans do. Ork gender is quaternary and includes orks, gretchin, snotlings and squigs. All these things are the same species, they're produced through the same spore-based reproductive process, but they exhibit physical differences and ork society attributes social differences based on those physical differences. That is gender.

So uh, orks are non-binary because their gender is quaternary, but that's not how we understand non-binary gender. Anyway.

Humans imposed the human model of sex onto bees and ants and decided that any of these organisms that don't contribute to sexual reproduction are female. The Tyranid hive structure is based on those insects so it's likely that there are organisms within the hive fleet that are responsible for the reproduction bit and chances are the majority of Tyranid organisms don't contribute. Undoubtedly some Magos Biologis has come to exactly the same conclusion about Tyranids and called everything from termagants up to bio-titans Female. Except genestealers. They probably wrote a whole thesis about the ovipositor called Sexing the Genestealer and concluded that Genestealers are male.
