So I have drawn Orks in this project, which should be cool as its been a long time since I have done anything Ork related (The Ork Submarine being the last project I undertook many years ago now)

But I have a problem with Orks – the comedy factor. For this project I don’t want Orks to be funny, I’m a bit tired of the cockney hooligan depiction of Orks, so I’m on a hunt to see if I can find sources and stories where Orks are presented as a truly terrifying force to be reckoned with.

If you have suggestions please let me know, but to begin with, I’m going to give ‘The Beast Arises’ Series a go and see if the depiction of Orks in it is closer to what I want.

How do you feel about the ‘comedic portrayal of Orks?

Beast arises series has the orks being potrayed as anything but comedic. There is a scence where they are raising “feedlot humans” for food that still gives me chills to think about. All 12 booksare a great read in that they are not 30k nor are they 40k, but an interesting period in the middle where some really interesting stuff happens. I heartily recomend it (book 2 was a bit weak, the orks kick arse though) in my opinion so don’t let it put you off the rest are fascinating

I say comedy orks have their time and place, sometimes I go all comedy, other times all grimdark. Do what suits you!
