Can orks take over the galaxy?

[kenshin620]

everyone says that if all the orks came together then nothing will stop them from taking the galaxy. What about chaos gods, c'tan, and the Emperor?

[Wakim]

C`Tan are just 3, out of which one is a wuss, the other is sleeping and the third doesn`t scare the orks

The fourth doesn`t count because he`s not allowed to play in the galaxy.

The emperor is in clinical death since the heresy.

Chaos would have done something by now if they could.

The think that keeps the orks from taking over the galaxy is... well, their orkiness

Orks and humans have a lot in common, we both fight among arouselves until some big guy kicks our heads in and puts us in line and sends us to kill the rest of the galaxy

That`s why the emperor is out of the picture, if he were active, the galaxy would be ours and that would leave room for any serooius enemies or interesting plots now, would it

[Biadetic]

hmmm emperor is probably dead ye know? lol. but hush, if the imperium let the peasants know there will be massive disarray

anyways, ah yes, the WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHH !1!!1!! lol

hmm it has been said they could be nigh unstopopable....but as wakim said, their orkiness !!!! now, what i would do you see, is.... get alot of shiny copper pieces
throw them towards the warp storm past the oncoming Orks
now, this is where they would reply..."oooooh shiney !! " and run off after it into the warp. this would either a) destroy the orks (huzzah) or mutate them somehow and be even worse for the imperium... and i mean of course, not mutated as in vile and even more strength....no, i mean,....imagine fi the warp... "civilised" them ?!?!?!?

now then they would be a force to be reckoned with :O

[themandalorian]

They don't want to take over though right. Don't they just want to fight?

[Templar Mikeel]

Not this again! About a year ago, D_C and someone else started an argument about this that lasted 5+ pages!

[experiment 626]

IF! the orks across the ENTIRE galaxcy united, then yes, pretty much nothing could stop them...

but it'll never happen... why? because orkz love fightin' and typically this means the only enemies around them are other orkz!
even gazhgkull couldn't unite *every* ork tribe/clan! there's bound to be about 1,000 other warbosses out there who fink themselves betta & tougha!

cheers!

[Orznit da' Squig Rap'a]

The real question boils down to would the Orkz want to? There is a reason that Ghaz let Yarrick live. Orkz don't want to just fight Orkz, they want good fights from all over.

"I let 'im go 'cause good enemies iz 'ard to find, an' Orks need good enemies ta fight like they need meat to eat an' grog ta drink."

So when they say they want to stomp the universe flat, do they mean conquer it or does it just mean tear the hell out of the whole place.

"Orkses is never beaten in battle. If we win we win, if we die we die so it don't count as defeat. If we runs for it we don't die neither, so we can always come back for anuvver go, see! "

So if they actually did conquer the universe, thats the only real time they lose. Since they no longer have anyone but themselves left to fight.

[Dragoon King]

I think their bestial nature stops them from uniting. Even though they are mechanically inclined, they aren't very bright. Plus, no one will ever conquer the Eye of Terror!

[Torquemada Coteaz]

Orks can take over the galaxy.
They just won't.
Even though they've taken over most other galaxies.

Too much resistance here.
Though, of course, if you're willing to got yet dozens - nay hundreds - more thousands of years into the future, they might.

It's inevitable that orks will win, just a question of WHEN. (unless it takes so long that the universe ends beforehand)

Where'd you find that out?
Any chance of a link?

Well yeah, orks would sweep aside all resistance if they could ever stop fighting with eachother.

[Ides]

Weren't the Orks were made by the Old Ones as a way of fighting the Necrons? In that case, unless they've travelled from our galaxies to others...

[Stubber]

That's right...I knew I heard of that somewhere before, the big Old One : Necron'tyr war.
The Old Ones called them the Kork.

[Torquemada Coteaz]

There's old stuff somewhere about unmanned explorator probes sent past the galactic rim...

... all they picked up was tons of ork transmissions... from everywhere else...

[Ides]

That might mean anything. Radio signals travel for lightyears by themselves, though it would take ages and they'd probably be degraded.

[Taggerung]

Even though Orks populate a huge amount of galaxies, they would never be able
to group together because of the huge amount of the Orks.

[Dan296]

the orks could TAKE OVER the galaxy, but not RULE it. theres a differance. right now, humans are the dominant species in the galaxy. they, as part of the imperium, chaos, or independant faction, have control of the majority of the planets. orks could come along and wreck it all, but they couldnt organize a large infrastructure like the imperium has now. there would be small empires, but lots of fighting amongst themselves. just as orks should be!

[Torquemada Coteaz]

Lol orks wont rule anytihng.
That is so absolutely correct.

[Chaosrocks]

So, does the tyranid hive fleet leviathan pose a threat to them? I'm not sure what it's course is now or anything. It's just the nid codex doesn't really say much other than they'll become a much worse threat than ever before.

[TheKiller333]

The Tyranids I suppose would threaten them, but hell no if they united. Which just won't happen. 'dere isn't a warboss big enuff to boss us all around! There's so many Orks that'd it just be impossible to get them all on the move at the same time. Let alone coordinate attacks.

[Torquemada Coteaz]

Tyranids are a swarm.
Orks are a BIG-AZZ-MOB
