Who is this? What did he do?

>>10106697
Inquisitor Kryptman. He virus bombed a hundred worlds (killing everyone on the planets) whenever the Tyranids started invading a planet.

Killed a lot of people, but killed slowed the Tyranids.

>>10106751

>Killed a lot of people

>Implying imperium cares about that

Exterminatus is supposed to be used as a method of LAST resort.

>>10106751
Tyranid don't care if their food is alive, he just made it easier for them.

>>10106784
virus bombing destroys all organic matter. (through SCIENCE! somehow)

>>10106961
Which I don't understand how that affects the Tyranids. Wouldn't they just suck up all the carbon goop and make new Tyranids with it?

>>10106784
Virus bombs eat away at all organic matter and turn it into an extremely combustible sludge. This is followed by a Lance strike, which immolates the vast amount of fumes and hence, the Atmosphere.

>>10106976
Yup.
That was the slowdown effect.
The hive fleet was so full it had to pull over and take a nap.

>>10106976
Hence why the IoM probably classified him as a traitor.

From Lexicanum:
>The life-eater virus as used on Isstvan III and Stalinvast is terrifyingly voracious, capable of spreading across the entire surface of a planet in a matter of minutes. The virus can penetrate power armour and rebreathers. The virus quickly rots and breaks down anything of biological origin, reducing it to sludge. Jungles and forests quickly rot into lakes of sludge.

>The rapid breakdown of organic matter releases tremendous amounts of flammable gas. Eventually the gas ignites into an apocalyptic, planet-wide firestorm, searing the planet's entire surface to bare rock, as well as burning the atmosphere of all oxygen.1,2,3

>>10107010
delicious

>>10107098

I.. I don't think GW understands what a virus is.

>>10107098
Physics does not work that way. And why not use it on hive ships?

>>10107098
Except that that's more propaganda then actual field truth.
The loyalist SM's on Isstvan 4 didn't get wiped out by the virus' deployment; they dug in and fought for quite a while.
Life Eater might complete fuck a planet's ecosystem, but it's not total death everytime, no matter how loudly the IoM might scream otherwise.

It is the 41st millenium. I'm sure there could feasibly be weapons of that sort. Perhaps the "Virus" in question is a sort of Nano machine.

>>10107132
YEA, WHY NOT USE THEM ON HIVE SHIPS? THIS MAN BRINGS WISDOM! HE IS OBVIOUSLY THE EMPEROR.

>>10107132
BECAUSE HIVE SHIPS ARE TRYING TO KILL YOU.

>>10107185
Yup, but any old pile of bombs will kill a hive fleet. See: How the ultramarines defeated the hive fleet attacking them.

>>10107170
LAND RAIDER ARMOR BEING WEAKER THAN MOST WW2 TANKS!

>>10107153
Are you kidding? The only reason they survived is becasue they got advance warning and took shelter underground. Anybody on the surface was still killed.

>>10107204
I guess it would make more sense to use normal bombs then the stupid expensive virus bombs.

>>10107132
>>10107119
Ebola does the same thing.
Some viruses reproduce so fast and violently they destroy the hosts cells, resulting in black goop remaining.
Virus bombs are simply upscaled.
>>10107185
I think they did that already. Nids ATE the virus, then used a modified gas version to slaughter boarders.

Because even by the standards of the Inquisition what he did was considered grossly excessive.

>>10107153
No, it's totally true. Sure, anybody in a sealed vault will be safe. But if it wasn't for Tarvitz, there'd be almost no need for the traitor marines to make landfall (or do orbital strikes, as Horus planned).

Remember that everybody was busy kicking the Istvvanians in the teeth when the bombs started landing.

What the Imperium should do is this:

Hire as many Blood Axes and Free Booters as they possibly can find.

Get them all to start a fight with a nid hive fleet.

Draw in more and more Orks.

When the nids and the Orks have committed a majority of their forces to the planet, warp in, virus bomb the shit out of the planet, and then use the rest of the fleet to wipe out the depleted hive ships.

Honestly, that's also what they should do about the ongoing Ork vs Nid fight that's going down. Rather than sit there and worry about how bad it'll be once one side wins, just fuck the planet when both sides are stuck on it, and score a pretty powerful victory.

...

What he did was order them to fight to the last man and then he exterminatused the planets, thus denying the nids even the ability to reclaim all the organic matter lost in battle. This Gradually depleted that Hive/Splinter? Fleet and it was fully destroyed in a later battle involving the Ultramarines.

Another time he sent the Tyraninds against an extremely powerful Ork empire ruled by the Octavian Overfiend.
The problem with that is, whoever the winner is, will be fuck-all powerful and united. The Tyrainds under the Hivemind and the Orks under the Overfiend.


The current, and disturbing, estimates of the Average Nob, thats right, not even the proper Warboss, is roughly 20-25 feet in height.

This has the potential of creating another 60 foot Ork Warlord. The last time such a beast was encountered, it took the GEOM and a few Primarchs to kill it.


That's right, an Ork so huge and powerful that the GEOM couldnt handle it by himself.


The reason this particular Ork was put in such a high alert case was because it held the potential to unite a Segmentum's worth or more of Orks.


Think about this.

Yeah.... Kryptmann fucked up.

>>10107204
>How the ultramarines defeated the hive fleet attacking them
>implying the smurfs took out the hive fleet, not the Imperial Navy and Eldar forces in the background

>>10107273
nuke him from orbit

>>10107267

Eldar tried this shit in DOW2, they got their asses handed for it.

>>10107273
Again, pop in, nuke the planet while they're committed, and not paying attention to their airspace.

Kill a whole bunch of Orks and a whole bunch of nids at the same time.

>>10107267
They afford the resources as it would severely denude several secotrs and leave them defensless for any of them that wander off from the fighting and decide to sack some planets.....

>>10107273
And your alternative is? Let Hive Fleet Levikrakhemoth RIP AND TEAR its way through the IoM?

He did what he should have done. Its up to the IoM to planetkill the fuck out of that planet once it seems the battle is near over.

>>10107281
Yes. The Ultramarines are the 7 foot tall genetically engineered badasses. They took out the Tyranids.

>>10107317
Yea, because they did it on a planet full of marines.

And even then, their ultimate plan succeeded: the splinter fleet was stopped at those planets, rather than moving on to the Eldar Craftworld.

>>10107320
In that kind of situation, tho, Nids will OWN the airspace, and Shadow in Warp will prevent Imperial foces from getting close or being sneaky about it.

>>10107317
It was hax.
The 'ravens had the PC Sign lit. =s

>>10107281
Smurfs have a Massive Battlefleet of there own and contributed and shitton of it themselves. Not to mention they held agains tthe hive while it attacked their planet.


Battle of Maccragge. The Guns of Maccragge also significantly contributed to the fleets downfall.

>>10107320

...A few nukes? This would mean fuck all... And how do you think the Orks are bringing in reinforcements????

Armchair General Dumbass.

>>10107340
Yea, but if they're fully committed to fighting the Orks, it's quite likely that their airspace control won't be as dominate as it normally is, simply because the Orks don't use too much as far as flyers go. Evolving to defeat their opponent, they'll push more and more to use ground forces.

And yea, no need to be immensely sneaky about it, you've just got to get close and fuck them. It's not like they can change up their biomass use in days, at least not at a drastic enough rate to continue the fight on the ground while still managing to fend off the fleet.

Honestly, he should have let it hit Terra.

If there was any world in the Galaxy that could have hoped to have absorbed and defeated two of the known Hive Fleets simultaneously, it woul dbe it.

>>10107374
"Nuke the planet" does not mean "use a few nukes".

It means destroy the planet.

Orks are likely either not bringing in reinforcements at all, doing so through teleportation, or if they are bringing them in via ship, then they're too busy fighting the nids.

That's the point. Even if both sides have a sizable space navy, they're going to be quite busy with one another.

>>10107273

This is why we have the temple assassins. I'm sure that even if that Ork is the new prophet of Ork-Kind, five hellfire or shieldbreaker rounds to the face would pulp him.

Assuming the coward High Lords would Authorize that kind of power to save their asses. Which they would.

>>10107374
Their fleet meant they could survive for a while, not win.
It was a victory for the Imperium, not the Ultramarines.

>>10107379
>Orks use mostly ground forces that do melee
>Tyranids evolving to do melee and be in close combat and not evolving to fly above them and shoot them

Er...

>>10107379

Sorry man, basic idea of evolution fail.

If Orks don't have flying, the Tyranids would adapt so that they lost less and did more. Which would mean flying.

However, the Planetstrike book DID talk about how the orks fought the Tyranids by jumping off of mountains... Yeah. Darwin was sobbing.

>>10107379
Dude, the nids have already brought heirophants and flying beasts into play.
Orks have stompas everywhere.
Shit is ON. I wish they would talk about it more, would make for the best battle since ever.

>>10107432
You have to adapt to the enemy.

If the nids don't present a strong front on the ground, then the orks will roll them. They'll never be able to set up spawning pools or harvest biomass at any steady rate(and according to this battle, they're harvesting biomass as the battle goes on, not waiting until it's over).

So they need something on the ground capable of matching the Orks, and in the interest of protecting their biomass, they need a lot of it.

Beyond that, I'm not saying the nids wouldn't have flyers. I'm saying they wouldn't have many space capable flyers.

>>10107402
They'll likely attack whats nearest, especially the Orks.

Besides, How long do you think it woudl take to delvier all those nukes?

Oh, and are you sure they wont be intercepted aor caught?

Serisouly, what the fuck?


It aint as easy as you make it out to be.

>>10107456
Nids need to take and hold ground to harvest biomass.

Unless they focus on putting out the biggest, baddest melee combat shit they can, Orks will roll them.

And again, I don't mean stuff like gargoyles. I mean that the nids will neglect their space based stuff.

>>10107505
Of course it's not easy. But it's better than sitting there and doing nothing.

And I'm not talking about a single ship warping in, hitting the planet, and warping out.

You deploy a couple fleets, a major force. Enough to fuck the planet and the hive fleet sitting there.

No point in killing all the stuff on the ground if you let the fleet get away.

He lives in the Black Library now, so uh... he's doing ok.

>>10107405
How you goin got get him on the planet unotice while the eqiuvalent of Stalingrad is playing out over the entirety of the planet?

It's likely that due to the way the nida attak that there arent any frontlines...

....In order for that Assasin to have a chance, you will have to send a shitton of massive forces along with it. Not to mention how utterly badass and pwoerful such a warbosss would be...


Oh, and did you forget the part about the GODDAMN EMPEROR OF ALL MANKIND HAD TO ASK FOR HELP FROM SOME OF HIS PRIMARCH SONS!!???

THAT PARTT RIGHT THERE PRETTY MUSH SHITS ALL OVE RYOU SIMPLE SOLUTION CRAP.

stupid troll

>>10107536
The problem is that the Segmentum doesn't have enough ships to devote to the hive fleet.
Much of it is engaged in various places. The only thing they could do is borrow a fleet from Solar, but that won't happen.

>>10107506

True. But then why wouldn't they just focus on one part, and turn it into a safe zone for returning the biomass they killed.

Wait, crap. Forgot that they have the instincts of an ant hive. I'm used to the kiddies at the FLGS making lists that are more Guard than Tyranid.

>>10107536
Can';t spare them. Too much shit going on.


Or have you forgot that the imperium is at constant warfare?

>>10107590

Constant war doesn't mean they can't re-direct supplies and warships.

Constant STALEMATE, on the other hand...

>>10107573.
>...In order for that Assasin to have a chance, you will have to send a shitton of massive forces along with it.

>doesn't know what Callidus assassins are.

>>10107506
Oh, right, didn't think of this.

Well, still. Just evolve specialized mega tyrant guards and shit to protect the pools and biomass things, then send out a fucktillion flyers to blast orks and then harvest.

>>10107589
Sure, but they still have to hold that part.

The Orks are naturally going to attack positions of strength, because that's where the best fighting is.

>>10107590
That's not really a reason. After all, the Inquisitor ran around, blowing all the planets up to arrive at this situation.

If he can do that, another Inquisitor can put together enough of a fleet to do this, especially since it won't take as long.

>>10107648
Exterminatus can be done with a handful of ships.
A proper anti-nid fleet can be in the hundreds.

>>10107098
A virus going across a planet in minutes? MINUTES?!

Come on! Unless its being released from a hundred different places planetwide, even jet streams take time to go across a planet.

Why not just custom-build a huge-ass gun that can shoot from one planet onto another?

>>10107696
Because only Orks would (and already HAVE) commited to such a waste of resources, time, and manpower to make such a thing.

>>10107273
Was there ever a resolution to that? Or at the nids and orks still fighting and growing to 100 feet?

>>10107607
Still wouldn't matter against an opponent that utterly badass. Honestly, it wouldn't matter a fucking bit. A Warboss like that likely has a Kustom Force Field powerful enough to tank BaneBlades rounds and keep and trukcing, not to mention generating a powerful Waaagh field of his own.

You must be thinking of an FPS were you can exploit stupid shit that limits the AI or just dreaming about how the Ork in question would do everything right to get killed.

>>10107694
Virus bombing is done on the same scale as other types of orbital bombardment, hitting all over the place and especially at major population centers.
With proper coverage by a large fleet, a planet could likely be covered in minutes.

Spergs gettin' mad about sci-fi not measuring up to known science

THANKS FOR PLAYING

>>10107718
And yet Orks are the ones holding off 'Nids in an ongoing battle on a planet, infinitely longer than any Imperium force has.

>>10107745
Just imagine the size of his brain from all that WAAAGH energy...Zog me, he'll probably write Orky Shakespeare....

>>10107745

>>10107745

>>10107788
According to the lastest 'dex, nids are WINNING.

>>10107273

>Average Nob, thats right, not even the proper Warboss, is roughly 20-25 feet in height.

>60 foot Ork Warlord.

>>10107839
Ork fanboys won't like that..

Dropping the Octarius bits of fluff.

>>10107831
Well, from what I can tell it's a combination of their tech and WAAAGH energy. WAAAGH energy is generated when Orks fight, I've seen it written that the longer and harder an Ork fights, the bigger and tougher he gets, so theoretically in this fight against the nids that go on for FUREVURRRR Orks could grow exponentially.

>>10107791

>Implying A Calidus Assassin would be stupid enough to get that close to an Ork of that size.

>Implying the Calidus would survive.


Ahem, you do realize the potential Ork in question would be far more badass than Ghazghull himself right?


>>10107788
I know right?

Thing is the orks have a truly unlimited amount of self repleninshing manpower while the IOM has to bring in reinforcemtns from other planets. also, the Nids local Numerical Superiority isn't as sever in the case of the Orks.

>>10107839
I didn't say they were winning or losing, just that the battle is lasting incredulously longer than any ground battle we waged against them that I have seen thus far.

>>10107831
You know the statline for a Apoc greater daemon? The same, maybe better.

>>10107831
The More an Ork fights and wins, the bigger and stronger he gets, but it takes abit of badass for him to survive that long anyway


>>10107843

the Nobs thing is about Octarius if I remember, will be potentially corrected soon.

But the 6o foot warboss was a fight druing the Great Crusade, IRRC.

>>10107904
The Orks are doing what they were intended to do. Fighting and Surviving. Remember, this kind of cataclymic warfare is what the Orks were built for.

Also, Orks don't get much bigger than Ghazghkull, although he's still tremendous in size, according to Lexicanum he's about 6 meters (19'6") tall.

I dont really understand Octarius too much. Why dont the imperial forces at least TRY to take out the least defended alien areas with nukes or whatever?

It makes more sense to hit two feuding forces in the balls with stealth attacks than to let one win and become even more powerful.

>>10107839

Orks have already won, it's just that nobody has realised it yet.

Gotta love the Orks.

>>10108019
Seems to me to just be the case of largest 'recorded' ork. I have no doubts that orks could get even bigger than that.

>>10108046

In theory, an Ork won't stop growing. In practice, once they get above a certain size, they're a walking bullseye for their opponents, be they SPESS MAHREENS or a particularly kunnin' wanna-be warboss.

>>10108019
There's supposedly no limit to how large an Ork can get, nor how long one can live. All it depends on is how long and hard it's fighting.

>>10108071
My friend, if an ork survived long enough to attain that kind of stature... it would take a fuck-all lot more than what you're describing to bring it down. It is an Ork, after all...

>Deff Koptas and Fighta-Bommas, their pilots itching for battle...

SOMEONE CALL THE DEFF SKWADRON

>>10108125
There might even be, in a gun the size of a battleship,
ENUFF DAKKA!

Or imagine the choppa. Who knew Paul Bunyan was a Warboss?

>>10108071

If an Ork acquired that size, according to square-cube law his skull would be thick as fuck. Bolter rounds would probably bounce right off it while he shrugged off the headache.

Orks. Bigger and stronger the longer they live and the more fights they survive.

At my LGS there's plans on making some rules and models for monstrous creature orks and gargantuan creature orks,for standard and Apocalypse use, respectively.

>>10107781

In the Grim Darkness of the future there is only Sperg.

And Canus Wolfsbutt.

>>10108156

Wolf wolf wolf

>>10108125

Did I say SPESS MAHREENS? I meant an entire squad of Terminators that said gigantork was ballsy enough to try krumpin' barehanded. Orks are known for taking outlandish risks for teh lulz.

>>10108151

And even if they don't, it's only a few head holes. Doesn't really affect his stompin' boot or his choppin' arm.

That's the best part about Orks' reality-bending psyker powers: if the WAAAGH! believes that the boss should be able to shrug off a few "minor" headwounds, he will.

>>10108143
Oh you know he would have like 3 of those cannons, and little turrets on his pauldrons for smaller orks to shoot off of. Paul Bunyan choppa, YES.

Oh god-emperor, imagine a weirdboy of that size!

>MYHEADISFULLOFFUCK.jpg

>>10108030
Better Idea.
Let them occupy themselves while you deal with other threats and then whipe out the survivors...


>>10108154
.>>10108151
>>10108125
>>10108071
>>10108046
And Remember, thanks to the Waaagh, he wont suffer the negative effects of such enormous stature.

Plus, its not just the size, toughness and strength.

It's the fact that He not only has a epic shit-ton of experience but is likely far more skilled at simply surviving. If an Ork has exceeded 30 feet, it has obviously successfully dealt with being a bullet magnet.

Hell, it might have learned how to aim...IIRC One Warboss leanred that Aiming+plus Dakka equals bigga splosions...

But think about, the bigger an Ork, the more attention it grabs, if it survives long enough, then its competence gets higher and higher as well as its general skill.

>>10107394

If they lose and the nids get the Emperor and his pure genes, we're going to see 40 foot Emperor-Nids running around just blasting the fuck.

The Imperium probably doesn't want that.

>>10108262
Indeed, and Orks are pretty much the only beings statistically shown to come out on top against those kinds of odds. Killboy, right?

>>10108281

Don't Orks already have more shooting power than IG?

>>10108154
Eh, I'm working on kitbashing a WHFB Giant and Deffdread into a monstrous Warboss for my Green Tide.

His stat range will probably be something like:
Unit Type:
Independant Character, Monstrous Creature
WS6 BS2 S10 T6 A5 I1 Ld9 Sv4+/5+
Wargear:Rokkit launcha, Twin linked Big Shoota, Cyborks, Thick Skin

Thick Skin: This Warboss' Thick Skin protects him just as well as any 'ard plate could, this confers the Warboss with a 4+ Armor Save
Special Rules:
Dat Flailin' Git!, Fearless

Dat Flailin' Git!:
The Warboss cares little for where his arms swing about in the midst of combat, and as such sends both friend and foe flying about. This gives the Warboss 1d6 extra attacks against both the Opponent's models and your own!

>>10108290

>Killboy

Every time you mention Killboy, someone googles for Deff Skwadron and sighs of nostalgia.

>>10108222

By the canine teeth of the Great Wolf, passed down through the Wolftime when the Fenris Wolves howled in a Wolvish way, I greet you fellow Wolf Brother with the standard butt sniff.

Wolf.

>>10108262
And What If the Ork survives that encounter and gets even bigger? What if gets to the point of wearing Titan Level Armor and simply obliterating enemies from accross the Horizon?

Damn that sounds awesome.

5 meter 6-barreled Gatling guns...two in each hand...

>>10108262
The ork will win.
A decent statline would be absurd S, BS of 7 or more, choppa would be considered a MC sttack, 4+ attacks per round at least.

>>10107839
Got the reference?

>>10108281

Yeah, but eventually he'll bump into something he simply can't handle. 'Eadbuttin' competition with a squiggoth, rochambeau -vs- a titan, trading dakka with a Baneblade. It's inevitable. Once you get to scales that big, you're going to get at least a FEW of the boyz who start thinking, "I dunno, da boss is ded killy, but dat fing's zoggin 'UGE!"

And that's why you never see planet-sized Orks somehow managing to scream WAAAGH! in the void of space.

Imagine... the greatest ork in all the universe... he'd be too big to fit in a ship. he'd just fight whatever was on the planet. Then one day he gets to that horizon, and wins...

And he would weep, for there would be no more nids left to conquer.

>>10108385
I forgot to mention the other main problem.

How many Orks do you think would be under his control?

>>10108391
On the plus side, he could just jump into space and swim for another planet.
Like an Orky Omnicron. An ecosystem unto himself, micro-Boyz battlan and worshipan across his vast Orkiness.
Paddlin' across the Void, lookin' for a little Waaagh.

>>10108410
There simply aren't enough. He will never ever find enough to equate Waagh! to body size.

>>10108385
>And that's why you never see planet-sized Orks somehow managing to scream WAAAGH! in the void of space.

>Implying that's not what Gork and Mork are.

This is not forgetting that Orks can canonically survive the removal/destruction of all internal and external organs up to and including the HEAD. A 60 foot Ork would be indestructible.

The conversation has come up that, if it lived long enough, an ork could become the size of a planet. If this happened it would get a atmosphere of its own. And thus be able to travel though space without a problem. But also being sentient fungi, do orks really need to breath?

In the same conversation the idea of SM putting armor on everything, trees, rocks, guns, armor.... all the way up to a planet. I could see a SM planet hurtling though the galaxy

>>10108420

That's sounds incredibly awesome.

>>10108391
Oh Waaagh, wherefore art thou? O lawd...

>>10108385
Well that's because there aren't any INFINITE WARS to fuel this kind of growth. The only other one is Armageddon and the Imps pretty much have a cap'n'trade on that one.

>>10108420

That's beautiful that is. Imagine he gets even bigger, beats the entire imperium down. Figures its time to go pay those nid boys back on their home turf...

>>10108385
Also, like I said, IF HE SURVIVED LONG ENOUGH, not oonly will general badassery get increase, but by the nature of his ways, his competency will too.


A Baneblade? At 50 ft it's likely the weapon he carries could core the damn thing.

A Squiggoth? At that point, he could out fight it.

Eventually he would attract attention from orbit...

So personally, I think the real practical limit would be around 100-120 feet before orbital guns start aiming for his ass.

>>10108426
I think Gork n Mork actually went past that and ascended straight into motherfuckin' IDEALS. THEY ARE SO HUGE THEY ARE NOW CONCEPTS FOR THE MIND TO PONDER!

>>10108451
Orbital guns? Thats what the bat is for, isnt it? Knock that lance battery right back where it came from.

>>10108465
The galaxy is actually Gork and Mork. All other planets and stars are just a part of them

>>10108484

Oh no, like I said, it happened, but the Ork in qeustion took the combined might of the GEOM and a few Primarchs to takedown....

Hive mind absorbs the Emperor, gains fuckall powers.

"what the FUCK did I just absorb?"

Gork and/or Mork is actually the source of all tyranids everywhere. Individual Tyranid units are just very powerful Orc spores.

ALL OF THEM.

oh.

this thread is good and you should feel good.

...hey, lets get on a story for this craziness.

Although we really to to pay attention on how many Tombworlds they crump under their boot.

>>10108537
yeah...well...

I really should be in bed, but I do love a good ork thread.

>>10107890
I always dismissed orks as a joke race that was liked only by loud mouthed fatbeards who like to scream WAAAGH! at the gaming table, but bloody hell, that is an awesome mental image, one that actually qualifies as "awesome".

>>10108451
>At 50

Oh. Shit, I thought we were still talking about the 20-30 ft range. There's still stuff that's more than a match for them, and Orks aren't known for contemplating their own fragile mortality. Once they're in the 50-60 ft range, though, all bets are off. At that point, I hope you have a fleet at high anchor and enough ordnance to glass the planet flat, then incinerate the remains, then vaporize what's left after that.

You now realize how appropriate that tengen toppa orken lagann pic is.

I'm thinking of picking up one of these and modding the skrull into an Ork. Beef it up make it slouch, then toss it out on the table next time an apoc games happens.

>>10108585
Read the thread. Think about it.

Oh and yes, they are only concerned with killing but many want to keep doing it...

>>10108334
I'm liking what I'm seeing here. but shouldn't a monstrous Ork have like 6 wounds and eternal warrior?

>>10108624

I suppose it's just a question of how kunnin' this particular theoretical Gigantork is. Past a certain size, the answer is "brutally", and he's not going to die by DERP.

>>10108617
why? that would be shit

>>10108438
WAR PLANETS!!!

Just an idea to start off and build off of. I could do a plushie one much better and easier but I think my semi plushie sqiggoth is more then enough fluff on the field.

>>10108438
>I could see a SM planet hurtling though the galaxy
Just so it could run into something.

>>10108724
errr.... WWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!! planets!!

>>10108691


Exactly. That's the real problem. Past 20 feet that Ork will, by virtue of survivng long enough to get that size, will be extremely cuning. Hell, it made have made a connection with Caution, forethought, and planning means more killing. past 50 ft it may well have instinctualy learned to aim as well.

Past a certain point, the danger an Ork poses grows exponentially as not only is it sheer power a problem but also it's experience and growing intellect. I am honestly curios how such an ork would think?

Also, Ork Waaagh plus Treknobabble.

>>10108724
weedy gits. dey needs a right hard smack to remind em who's the Gigantork around here.

Ok, so an Ork gets to be the size of a large mountain, then gets infected by genestealers.

Upon his death, his ork spores cover the planet with genestealer-growing pods.

>I am honestly curios how such an ork would think?

I dunno, I always thought non-Brainboyz were very light on the "think" and very heavy on the "know" and the "do". Sure, he'd be up to the eyeballs in low kunnin', but I highly doubt he'd suddenly sprout a proper intellect. He'd obviously be a weapon master, and have experience to call upon from his countless thousands of battles. He might've even rediscovered the lost art of taktiks. FFS, he might even have a Shokk Attack Cannon as a sidearm, sending Stormboyz to their destination EVEN FASTA.

>>10108816
You need to brush up on your Gork and Mork.

>>10108782
Geneloota kults happen occasionally. Generally orks kill them off for being unproppa, but occasionally a warboss recognises their krumpyness and keeps the ones that are orky enough to fight against the bug boyz/listen to orders or a whole warband gets infected.

Genestealers are not limited to infecting humans; virtually any race or species can be infested, including Orks. However, broods within a society such as Orks are seldom big or long-lasting on account of the special life cycle and the extremely intolerant structure of society of the Orkoid species. In fact Orks seem to be rather unpopular hosts, and serve mostly only as a kind of interim solution, until more worthwhile victims are available2. Genestealer infections can only thrive in large, and relatively open societies such as those of human

>>10108794

you are just being awesome (I fixed that for you)

>>10108816
My idea is funny and awesome and spawned other people to particpate.

youre just being stupid and petty.

>>10108847
Smartboyz. The brainboyz were the ork's creators.

But they're more not good at imagining things, they just 'do' them. That said, as they grow, they just 'do' basic tactics. A nob just knows how to command a mob of boyz around, and a boss just knows tactics at the warband level. A warlord like ghazzy or nazdreg will just 'know' how to best command the hordes and hordes of orks under his command. Nazdreg is smarter then most though, mind you.

Also: Go to da waaagh!, find nozeminer's 'uge boss. Look around, find a few even bigger ones. Shit bricks.

>>10108934
Link plz?

If an ork reached a certain mass would he not implode into a black hole?

Also the idea of a giant ork dying kind of reminds me of Norse myth with the dead giant that got turnt into the universe.

Smart boyz? So something that can be considerd smarter then a big mek?

>>10108876
check out tyranid biodiversity through google.

Can genestealers infest Eldar? You'd think that they could psychically sense the infestation and kill them.

>>10108961

No, he'd be big enough to fight the entropic collapse of the Universe in the ultimate Waaaagh.

>>10108983
Biologicly- why not?

>>10108976
I was just quoting what I read on a 40k wiki. But still any infected orks would be snotlings then grots before they could be boyz.

Yeah, dem geneloota orkstealerz are naff and unproppa. Uurva orks don't like them instinctively, adnd krump them at the first oppourtunity. Like CHaos orks, it happens, but it's rare.
