I used to play Rebel Grots in Gorkamorka- they were a fun Mob, and had a kind of Soviet/Communist style with their Revolushunary Kommitee (who you could lie to, to try and get more resources for your next game- saying you’d taken out more enemies than you really did; or even telling them you’d won when you lost!) led by Da Red Gobbo- lots of red star icons (and even a few Grots in Unshankas!) and a Banna Wava flying the flag of rebellion!Ah, happy days… However, I don’t think Grots ever got bigger the more successful they were even… Read more »
they lived on the end of DA SKAR 🙂 good times, do you remember the mutie faction?
I remember the muties – were they the most ‘human’ in terms of imperial ethics and values?
Red goes faster!
I wonder if they are fighting Vanilla marines, they think that all that blue is still lucky? 🙂
“Why haven’t Orks taken over the imperium?”

Ork Genestealer hybrids were a thing back in the early 90s, I remember seeing these guys in WD at some point.

Urgh, can’t edit the img tags!!
Yesss! Those are so awesome
i think in the armageddon campaign you had imperial guard/ork zombies if i remember right
“Red ones go faster” is in the current Ork codex I do believe.
yeah it is :).
The episoded about orcs are really interesting. Such a diverse and intriguing race.
my orks are from gorkamorka, Grimmtuff da fingduffa got his meks and wierd boyz to capture a hulk and grimmtuff banded all the factions together in WAAAAAAGGGHHH! Grimmtuff to go into the warp and land in a mighty war! my boyz have leather and fur armour but have flashes of factrion colour. so my big guns and walkers etc are rusty metal with the odd yellow panels etc. my ork boyz who have massive C/C have goff black checks and red helmets etc to get in fast and ” stomp da hummies”. i have digganobs i play as grots rule… Read more »
excuse spelling im on my phone
Don’t apologise it Just adds to the orkishness of your post 🙂
nice one guys,
As some of you might know by now, I have a huge Death Skull army based around Warboss Bloojaw and his ascending warband. The thing that drove me towards the orks in the first place is the Mad Max feel and what I most wanted to do was to convert and scratch-build as much as I could. I started playing with a friend who played ultramarines so the choice of the colour blue was kind of an insult aimed at the emperor’s finest. 😉 To this day, I scavenge my friends’ (read opponents) bits box in search of stuff which… Read more »
I remember the Ere we go, Freebooterz and Wagghh book for the early 90’s. Really good fluff books, but really badly bound.
For the genestealer orks

Still waiting for the hair squigg fluff…all orks would be bald without them.
Great inspiration – from all the links posted above too 🙂 The Pain Train is just jaw dropping cool.
“Red Onez goez Fasta!” Comes from Orkz that fought against Blood Angels so much which are quite fast and quite red. “Why does these tanks and want not goes faster then others that look like them? Because they are Red so that MUST be it.” Yes they fought enough Blood Angel to just know that all red things go fasta.

sorry, I was trying to post pics of my old ork-hybrids….
I loved the Bloodaxes
My ‘Ere We Go book has a picture of, “Bogrot’s Human advisor Skumgrod, secretly Captain Sebastus Syrong of the Imperial Guard” and I remember Gorkamorka had primitive humans who emulated ork kulture 🙂
I remember the madboyz had a rule when they would suddenly hate certain colours and target enemy units that were wearing that particular colour. The exception was green because “Orks always like green – even mad ones”
