Orks are the most brutal and warlike of all the alien races that plague the galaxy. These green-skinned monsters live only to fight, delighting in spreading carnage and mayhem. In fact, so great is their need for conflict, they will happily fight amongst themselves, indulging in bloody wars with their own kind just for the thrill of battle.

On occasion, a Warboss will arise from the ranks of the feuding warbands and unite them with his stirring vision of conquest. Under the dominating personality of their Warlord, as well as his intimidating physical presence, the Orks set off in search of a new enemy to fight – any enemy. As an invasion grows in size, attracting more and more Orks to the cause, it becomes a mighty Waaagh!

Such Waaaghs! are all but impossible to resist as hundreds of thousands of warriors hungering for battle descend on a world in a tide of Orkish malevolence. It is through these massive conquests that Orks have spread across the galaxy from the core to the outer rim. If ever the Orks united as a race, no force in the galaxy could resist them.

In battle, huge mobs of heavily-muscled Greenskins charge headlong with crude blades raised and guns blazing. Others scream towards the foe upon ramshackle bikes, buggies and battlewagons, while clanking war engines stomp forward, their roaring engines gouting oily smoke. Above them tower the mighty Gargants, huge mechanical effigies of the Ork gods, laden with guns and missiles capable of flattening a city. When the Orks are on the rampage, the galaxy trembles.
