>looted Borg Cube

...

>>12821903
SO. MUCH. DAKKA.

>>12821903
Just a point, there isn't much adapting to do against a solid slug y'know.

Las weapons might have a better chance even, pure cohesive light

>>12821954
It's hard to adapt when you're being raped in the face with sumthin' right choppy.

>>12821954
And seeing how Orks scorn energy weapons for their lack of noise, Solid slug wins they day vs. Borg.

>>12821903
emperorpreserveme.jpg

I do like the idea, however im pretty sure what once the borg adapt to one slug throwing weapon they have adapted to them all...


Still its fun idea...

>>12821971
>>12821954
>>12821974
Hardening of components, superior materials used for the 'skin', etcetera. Also, short-range teleportation.

>>12821954
not a huge trek fan, but isn't the standard phaser a laser weapon? I'm pretty sure the borg got over that one fairly easily.

Not that it matters, Orks don't really fight with any regard for self preservation.
Although, I wouldn't think their blood-spores would do them any good as there's no soil on the cube for them to take root in.

Uh...orks love getting in the fight. At some point the melee will start. One borg touches a ork and suddenly he's assimilated.
What will the orks do when they have to face the bork?

>>12821999

Nope, lasers in the trek verse are outdated to the point of uselessness.

>>12821903
I think a cybernetic Borkz is most likely.

If they're still doing the "remake" Star Trek shit, I want to see next-gen borg... maybe borg who are something more than Romero zombies IN SPAAAAACE

>>12821983
But these are orks. Orks who can cut the aeons old technology of Necrons with a slab of metal tied to a stick. So you solve the slug problem but not the choppa problem.

Or the wyrdboyz

Or the getting the organic parts eaten.

Or getting sat on by the nobs.

Or being blown up by point blank rokkits(You know orks will do this)

I'll point out that the Borg make routine use of force fields within their ships to contain boarders.

Not like it'd matter much; the Borg cube would have been blown to bits had the Orks open fire; 40k ship yeilds are in the hundreds of gigatons to low teratons; Star Trek ships are in the tens to hundreds of megatons at best.

>>12822004
Trekkie Answer: They'll turn into Borg drones, and due to their increased combat effectiveness relative to other humanoids the encounter will likely spur the Collective to actively seek out Ork populations to assimilate.

40kid Answer: They overwhelm the Borg machinery with the throbbing power of their WAAA(n)GH energy and proceed to kick the Borg's teef in!

Ork Answer: Oi, Uzgob started actin' funny when 'e touched dat fing. Powa klawz out lads, time ta snip 'em!

I recall a situation like this happening before, but I'm not sure if it was on 4chan. It was a while ago. But this is the first time I've seen a looted cube. Kudos OP.

>>12822008

Seriously. At one point the Next Gen crew meets this low tech alien culture who brainwash them with some weirdly high tech mind control device to go fight their eternal rivals. The rivals were cruising around in shitty little ships that used lasers as their main armament. Picard and the bridge crew were all but snickering into their hands when Data or whoever the hell reported what they were being shot with.

>>12822004
I think I read somewhere in the fluff about a battle between the nids and the orks, and it described the conflict going all the way down to the genetic level as Ork cells aggressively attacked nid cells that were trying to assimilate or whatever it is that nids do.

I would think this would carry over to the borg. As the borg figure out how to assimilate one Ork, the rest biologically adapt to resist the assimilation, and the Borg have to start over.

You know, kinda like how the borg adapt.
Shit, this is shaping up to be an epic battle.

>>12822047

Actually like every description of 40k ship weapons I've ever seen is like "Enough power to level a city block." Please kindly link to a canon source describing the level of destruction you insist upon. Hint: That thread on Space Battles where they use a off the cuff comment of Cain to determine that a Battleship can OMG1HITPLANETKILLAR is not canon.

that cube aint borky enough

I don't get how the Borg can adapt against massive/high-velocity kinetic impacts.

>>12822131

You are rooting for a faction of giant space mushroom soccer hooligans and you want to apply suspension of disbelief to the other side.... Okkkaaayyy theeeennn....

>>12822131
Forcefields that allow the borgs energy weapons to pass through but stopping kinetic weapons.

Not to mention that the borg could probably empty all the air from certain sections of the ship

The orks just have to believe thir bulelts will go through said fields.

These shields are invisible, so the orks wouldn't even notice them, much less think "hmm my slugga might not penetrate a force-field that these bio-mechanical humanoids may have." They'll be too busy shooting and chopping and having the time of their life to pay attention to forcefields & other impossibilities.

Guys guys, in OP's situation,the Orks already win and loot the monolith, using the borg corpses as decorations and punching bags. The current situation is a Looted Cube fighting two Borg cubes.

The problem with the whole "they'd just adapt" thing is that, so long as orks believe their weapons will work, THEY WILL WORK.

Hell, they use fucking scrap-metal cleavers against POWER ARMOR. The whole reason any of their armory works is because of the psychic field maintained by thousands of orks.

>>12822245
Or they just tear the force field generators off the wall.

>>12822262
Then it's promptly painted red and they set out on an inter-galactic WAAAGH!!!

I like to think that that gigantic "WAAAGH!" on the side is hand-spraypainted and actually consists of millions of smaller WAAAGHs! painted close together.

>>12822294
You just gave me an erection.

i want to see this
bad

>So /tg/ has this ever been done before?

what are you stupid of course it hasnt...interesting premise though I must say

Simple. Ork rams into second cube. Takes over with same strategy. Turns to face remaining borg cube that was been both updating its information from the fighting and firing on the two melded cubes. Orks then take the Rok-double cube and ram it into last cube. At this point it no longer looks like a cube, more like from mutisided polygon that has no name. And it shall be called "Da biggest Ship Evah"

>>12822404
And they start building a bigger cube-thing from more cubes

>>12822418
Well of course. If two cubes failed to overwhelm, the Borg will send four cubes. Should those fail 8 cubes. Do you see where I am going with this?

http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Marcius_Flavius

"Captain! Captain!" The Iron Man Data leapt from his chair at the foot of the bridge and knelt down. All eyes were on him. "Captain Picard is unconscious." He tapped the symbol on his chest. "Data to Crusher; we need a medical team on the bridge. Commander, I believe you're in command, now."

Marcius Flavius, first space marine in the Federation-Imperium Officer Exchange Program, stepped down from his position at tactical. "Understood. I shall endevour to do even better than Brother-Captain Picard."

Worf edges over to tactical, resuming his place. "Sir, what should we do? Should we fire on the Borg or the Klingons?"

Commander Flavius thought for a moment. The Bork were more immediately dangerous, *and* they kept flooding the subspace radio with RESISTANCE IZ FUTILE BUT FUN, but the Khornate Klingons would probably be more trouble in the long run.

"Target the Groch'tar and fire a full broadside!" He made a fist and stood up, just as Crusher and a medical team reached the bridge.

"... Do you mean a phaser or a photon torpedo?"

"... Just do both." He sat down, annoyed. "... Xenos." he whispered under his breath.

"What was that?!"

"Nothing." he lied.

>>12822428
Now I have the idea of Modrons versus Orks thanks to the Cube thing.

.....god damn it, these exercises are too entertaining late at night.

Most of the Mekboys would have a field day, but a borgified Ork would be considered un-orky and would get krumped.

There was a Bork Cube in one of the Marcus Flavius stories. The Enterprise rams it.

http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Marcius_Flavius

>>12822063
"Captain, they are now locking lasers on us."
"Lasers!?"
"Yes, sir."
"Lasers can't even penetrate our navigation shields. Don't they know that?"
"Regulations do call for yellow alert."
"Hmm, a very old regulation. Well, make it so Number One. And, reduce speed... drop main shields, as well."
"May I ask why, sir?"
"In case we decide to surrender to them, Number One... "

>>12822428
Orkish Damacy.
You must create a Katamari entirely out of Borg Cubes.

So, essentially, a big boxy space hulk fully infested by an ork mob, devoid of warp-oddities.

It would be like a miniature planet, hurtling past systems and shitting orks all over them on it's way by, like hooligans with baseball bats taking out mailboxes. Except the mailboxes are actually planets.

awesome

>>12822481
WAAGH WAAAAAGH WA-WA-WA-WA-WAAAAAGH!

The orks would win- the borg have only ever fought against rational and logical enemies. They have never gone against a foe that will fire a rokkit point blank range. Even if they do assimilate a few, the sheer weight of the orkish numbers will overwhelm them.

Plus they are pretty fucking awesome, I mean if they can take on space marines in their power armor and heavy bolters and terminators with tank armor and storm bolters and all the other insane weaponry with solid slug projectile guns and crude axes I think they can fuck over the borg.

>>12822501
>the borg have only ever fought against rational and logical enemies

>>12822513
Still no Star Trek Race has vehicles that go faster simply by painting them red...

>>12822471

Rofl I remember that one, that was fucking great.

>>12822528

That shit doesn't ACTUALLY happen with orks, the whole "orkmind" idea is just garbage made up by the imperium tech-priests to explain how orks can engineer complex devices.

"Da Best Ship Evah" sails through the stars, coming ever close to the source of those hailing frequencies.

Every transmission of 'Resistance is futile' is met with 'But datz da fun part!'

The Orks that were assimilated remain but they seem to have an opposite affect on the Borg collectives. Instead of joining, they infect the collective psyche. And now the WAAAAAGH! swells as both Orks and drones take up shootas and choppas, ready to fight and kill everything that gets in the way. It. Will. Be. Awesome.

>>12822548
That doesn't change the fact that it still happens.

>>12822553
And then a federation ship happens to blunder into the middle of the whole thing.

"Resistance is fultile"
"BUT DAT'Z DA FUN PART!"
"Resistance is fultile"
"BUT DAT'Z DA FUN PART!"
"Resistance is fultile"
"BUT DAT'Z DA FUN PART!"

>>12822548
Yes it does you dumb fuck. Red ones really DO go faster.

>>12822553
Imagine the lootin'. The glorious lootin'.
And, they could loot creatures too. Like, humans and tau. Kroot and Eldar. The universe will be united under the WAAAAAAAAGH!

>>12822573
BUT NOT FASTER DAN DA FLAMEY-PAINTED ONES, YOU GIT

>>12822528
Q can do that.

>>12822578
Basically, they become the Tyranids, only moreso.

>>12822513

compared to DA ORKS everyone in star trek is rational. It's not just that they go planet to planet starting fights. Races like that are a dime a dozen. They do all that with shit that shouldn't ever work- their shootaz should fall apart after firing a round but they don't, their stompas and wartrukks are horrendous heaps of scrap metal that should collapse into worthless junk, but actually are deadly armored units somehow. Their technology is downright bizarre and nonsensical yet it works surprisingly well. Not to mention their ability to loot seemingly anything regardless of condition and turn it into yet another bizarrely effective heap of metal with cannons jutting out all over.

I'm not that much of a trekkie admittedly, but when could the borg possibly have squared off against anyone so bizarrely effective?

>>12822589
Orks loot Q what happens now?

example of sharp choppy to borg. seems effective

(worf in star trek: first contact)

>>12822598

I love this thread. I love it SO much.

>>12822598
Species 8472 beat the cybernetic shit out of them without blinking once. They had fighter-size craft that destroyed planets when combined, were immune to assimilation, and came from a universe that has actual, liquid aether in place of space. As Star Trek goes, they're not all that bizarre as a species, but they were ludicrously effective.

>>12822632
An Ork that had godlike power could just will anything without having to fight for it. Thus, the Ork would give that power up, because having it would make things not fun. Alternatively, he'd use it to make the universe ALL FIGHTAN ALL THE TIME

>>12822683
>Alternatively, he'd use it to make the universe ALL FIGHTAN ALL THE TIME
And now you see what the origins of the 40k universe are

Gork and Mork? Nah man, Qork

Someone needs to archive this for posterity

This caught my eye because being a trekkie I wanted to see what the actual evidence was to pose
The Borg as it seems, really have no chance
These "Orks" can fight without their heads, "loot" technology and make it their own, and destroy armor with blades,
also i read in the wikipedia that they live forever and grow forever unless killed in battle
>>12822683
this gent does bring up a good point, though
species would handle business against the Ork i think

>>12822548
20 years of canon that HAS NOT CHANGED proves you wrong.

>>12822761
DO IT, I MUST SHOW THIS TO MY CHILDREN.

And watch them weep as they realize the most awesome idea ever has come and gone.

And then I will make breakfast.

>>12822784
The only question is, at what cost?

The ork-spores are so hard to get rid of that nothing short of a full-on exterminatus is guaranteed, and even the Imperium is reluctant to use that.

I think, once you reach a certain point of technology, the problem become more one of how to stop the orks without having to cause massive, galactic-wide devastation rather than one of stopping them at all.

>>12821903
The only thing remotely close is the Bork Square, It was held together by wood, bits of metal and spit.

MEN, WE HAVE FORGOTTEN THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. WE. MUST. STAT. THIS

>>12822815
be the coolest fucking episode of star trek

>>12822598
>compared to DA ORKS everyone in star trek is rational.

>>12821903

Sent in a request for archival

>>12822815
Species 8472 is pretty much at the top of the biotech field. If there's anyone who can find a way to remove Ork spores quickly and easily, it's them. Particularly if they have Federation assistance. Nothing solves problems like technobabble.

>>12822887

You'd think a bioweapon might solve this? Probably not. Damn orksies

>>12822864
what was it called? i wish to youtube it

also orks win forever, you can't get rid of them unless you blow up the planet, but then again you would just be spreding more spores via flying space rocks

i mean fuck even the nids can't beat them, Ork cells just krump nid cells and loot them and then have micro waaghs, the borg are fucked

>>12822815

Why not simply pick up their bio-signature with a tricorder and beam them into the sun?

>>12822924
The Orks are basically already a bioweapon. There's a cure out there somewhere. One that does not involve burning off a planet's surface, fun as it may be.

>>12822924

Imposter! Or me failing at my tripcode. You decide.

Also, that would be the absolute coolest battle I've ever imagined. Bioweapon notwithstanding.

>>12822934
>mfw they loot the sun

>>12822930
i was reffering to a fantasy episode where the federation encounter the Orks and there unstoppable war-like ways
the question would be asked in that episode
"Is Genocide the only way?"
this would be the best star trek episode ever
but it is not real:(

>>12822650

This is, of course, as opposed to the Borg's technology and tactics in their first appearance in "Q Who?", in which walking quickly in the Borg's direction prompted the drone to put up an automatic force field which threw Worf back about ten feet and physically assaulting the Borg would have been impossible.

The Borg got nerfed hard to give Starfleet a chance at actually putting up a fight.

>>12822979
HAH NOT EVEN GENOCIDE CAN RID THEM OF "dA ORKY MENENIZ

>>12822979
oh i thought you was talking about the same episode that >>12822063 was, woud you still happen to know it?

You're all misunderstanding how the Borg adaptation works. In Star Trek every weapon is an energy weapon. The Borg adapt by making their personal sheilds able to absorb whatever frequency of energy is being fired at them.

The Orks, as far as I can tell, don't do energy. They do solid death. No amount of energy fluctuation will make a giant axe through the torso any less fatal.

>>12823012
It's the TNG episode Conundrum.

http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Conundrum_%28episode%29

>>12823030
what about Zzap gunz? or did they get rid of them when i was not looking?

>>12823030

This is a relevant point. We do come to the issues with boarding the cube, however. Forcefields to stop the orks, and metal to stop them from blowing it to smithereens.

I don't doubt hte orks would wind on land battle/invasion, but a boarding party? I'm skeptical.

>>12823072
Still in the codex.

We have 2 possibilities

1. They don't work. Mekboy hits it with a wrench and slathers it in oil. Brings in more gretchin. They now work.

2. They work.

As far as I remember, the Federation uses shields not only in combat, but also has constant weak shields around their ships against small rocks, space derbis etc.
This would mean that Star Trek shields are indeed able to stop kinetic impacts, and I guess if the Feds can make, the Borg can make it better, so the choppa argument is maybe not as strong as some might think.
Just my 2 cent.

>>12823450

If the shields are similar, then the orks simply have to hit the borg enough to short out the shields, and even then the shields couldn't stop torpedoes (I think).

>>12823450
They have navigational deflectors, but those are often forgotten for reasons of coolness. Like in the new Star Trek movie, when one of the Enterprise's nacelles gets scraped by a large piece of debris.

>>12823450
This is assuming that the kinetic shielding can be worn by a single person/borg and that it is not something that only a ship can be fitted with.

>>12823486

Not so certain about the torpedoes, but concerning the Orks hammering the shields - why would the Borg just sit there and take it? They got some rather powerful weapons themselves - not to mention their tractor beams.

>>12823450
They have a navigational deflector, which projects a forcefield in front of the ship to push debris out of the way, and then a structural integrity field which holds the ship together under the stresses of impulse and warp travel. Both of which are routinely amped up in the clutch when extra protection is needed.

Seriously, the feds are second only to the orks as far as making things work by needing them to.

>>12823450
if an ork thinks his choppa is gonn cut a man in half then his choppa will cut the poor sod in twain

its has something to do with the orks psychic waagh power

plus orks are fucking tough and strong as all hell, and get more badass the longer they live and fight

>>12823486
As far as the star trek combat games have gone, shields actually do a really good job of deflecting torps. You have to wear down shields with phasers, and then nail the unprotected ship with a torpedo for the kill.

>>12823526
Depends on what version of Borg we're talking about. When originally seen, they used a cutting beam to harvest a chunk of the Enterprise without difficulty, and their cube actually visibly healed itself within a couple of seconds of being struck by a torpedo- though those torpedos did make enormous holes in its structure. Also, drones could just teleport onto the Enterprise whenever, take people with them, fuck with the computers, basically anything. They were stronger than Worf and immune to phasers after being hit... once, I think?

They got weaker with nearly every appearance after that.

>>12823504

Someone mentioned that the Borg cubes have internal shields to contain boarders.
Alas, I don't want to ruin an awesome idea by nitpicking, I just think the fight won't be entirely one-sided.

>>12823526
>>12823526

>Not so certain about the torpedoes, but concerning the Orks hammering the shields - why would the Borg just sit there and take it? They got some rather powerful weapons themselves - not to mention their tractor beams.

RAMMING SPEED!

>>12823585
The orkz don't believe in your silly forcefields, your argument is invalid.

>piccolo, propythe

bump

The big difference is that Star Trek folks, when confronted with a situation where (x) doesn't work, do something else.

Orks are likely to try a lot more (x) first. They're like liberals in that sense.

The Borg aren't really all THAT creative when it comes to technological adaptation. They're confronted with something, it works a few times, they do something, it stops working. The first Borg is still plenty dead.

That works fine against the rational, who aren't likely to come in guns blazing immediately. But coming in guns blazing is what Orks DO. It's entirely possible that the first Rok to confront the first Cube will have rammed and disgorged boarders before the Borg are done looking at each other and thinking "wtf?"

Also, the Borg would have a hell of a time purely existing in 40K; "we are made of science with which we constantly tinker" is the same as saying "we would very much like to be raped by demons, soon".

>"we are made of science with which we constantly tinker" is the same as saying "we would very much like to be raped by demons, soon".

Pure fan theory. Daemons can only get you from sorcerous rituals or psykers going amok, or generally being in a fucked up region of space.

>>12823573
The Ork solution, is the OP's scenario: RAM DA SQUARE FINGY! ANd engage in melee with Shootas, choppaz and burnaz

A borg tries to assimilate an ork, it doesn't work, but the ork is still connected to the borg and now every borg that gets close to it will explode from being exposed to the waaaagh because they aren't orky enough to handle it.

>>12826329

This
>>12822553
is far more likely result of assimilation

Don't let this thread die! The fa/tg/uy masses must know!

>>12826112

The Helltalon was a fighter that managed to be built the wrong way to get possessed. It's not that common but it can happen.

>>12822930
>>12822930
>Ork cells just krump nid cells and loot them and then have micro waaghs,
...

Is this canon?

If a borg does assimilate a ork...won't that bork just turn into a weirder mekboy? Pretty sure the Borg would get driven insane by the Ork's thought process.

I mean, demons possess weirdboyz all the time and they just end up being weirder weirdboyz who talk to themselves a lot and the demon hates every second of it.

>>12827995
It's orks.

Canon says they can do whatever they want to as logn as they believe it hard enough.

And believing is the best thing they do, next to shootin & choppin.

>>12822294

That's a beautiful symbol of Ork society.

Oh man. This is quite possibly the most epic bit of /tg/ I've seen yet of you guys.

>>12828347
What? It's just a rehash of some of the old Marcius Flavius ideas.

>>12821903

This situation is not entirely likely, since it is a well known fact that all Borg are just a group of Mechanicus Adepts who were infested by Gene Stealers.

That ork rok is going to be wedged clear through that borg cube, and still constantly firing its guns even as its disgorging orks into the rest of the cube before the Borg can even finish their opening hailing.

>>12828371
Yeah. But at least it gave me a bit of inspiration n shit. Mind you, i still know DICK about star trek.

===

For the first time in the two centuries spent as a Battle Brother Marcius Flavius felt depressed. His will and resolve were strong even when boarding the infamous khornate cruiser Bronze Axe, when he fought the unending wave of greenskins on Armageddon, and even when he was ambushed by a Lictor with no other weapons than his ceramite-clad fists. This world was strange, alien, and only the intense hypnotic indoctrination held his mind together.

Captain Picard was not happy. Far from it.
"Marcius, that WAS a Cardassian Ambassador and his troupe."
"I WAS INSTRUCTED THAT WE ARE NOW AT WAR WITH THE XENOS WITH RIDGES ON THEIR FACES."
"That's the Klingons Marcius, not the Cardassians"
"THEY STILL HAVE RIDGES, I THOUGHT THEY WERE A BOARDING PARTY."
"For god's sake, people were shouting at you to stop"
"FOR ALL I KNOW THEY COULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN HOSTAGE, MIND CONTROLLED OR STUPID. I ONLY LISTEN TO THE CAPTAIN'S ORDERS."
"*I* was shouting at you too!"
[COUGH]
"Is that how a Space Marine of your universe should conduct? Imagine how your superiors would react if you shot an alien ambasador in the head vaporising it, and then kicked the headless corpse in the chest so strong that it left a dent in the wall!"

Captain Picard recoiled in a mixture of terror and surprise. Nothing sounds like a giggle amplified by Astartes power armor.

This should be given it's own section in 1d4chan.

Provided we get some more writefaggotry...

They could just calibrate the deflector dish to give a negative isoorkits field killing the isometric layer of ork spores making them unable to grow, or whatever they do with the deflector dish.

>>12828722
well, um, normally the crew just takes turns throwing bacon and smores at it to see what happens, then dare each other to eat the results.

If the borg can't stop Picard with a tommy gun, then what chance do they have against the orks?

>>12829277
Jesus.. I wish that scene was either expanded upon or deleted from history. That particular borg was taken by surprise once. We did not see Picard try that trick again. 99% chance, the bullets would be bouncing off some sort of shield or off hardened armor the next borg patrol around.
