The most psychic army is Da ORks

[Steellegioncpt]

Yup in my opinion its true. But before you purge me as a heretic let me explian, and if you have read the ork codex you would understand. Its really a simple argument. If you noticed that the ork guns dont really fire to begin with, also their axes are so dull it cant cut a damn thing. However because the orks believe soo much in their weapons they just work like normal. It may seem a bit wierd, but then again the orks are a weird race to begin with. Also lets not forget the red it fastest rule. IF you simply paint something red it goes faster, just because its red. There you go again the psychic beliefs that the orks have make their weapons work and their trukks go faster.

Well its far from your convensional psychics whose sole power can destroy waves of troops and cripple tanks, however think about it. How many Orks own guns and drive trukk and carry dull axes? ALL OF THEM, right down to the simple grot. All the orks possess the simple psychic mind, unlike other races who only have select few.

It is a wonder that they do not seem to be possessed by daemons nearly as often as Humans.

I think they can't use their powers to bust open tanks and stuff because they're too dim to realize they can!

[Torquemada Coteaz]

i think its the humans that have the un-unlocked potential.
The daemons can see it because they're warp sense are "tingling"
but humans don't. (with exception of alpha and post alpha levels)
That or in th fluff it's human "psychicly sensitive minds" shine in th warp.
Orks LACK minds ;P

[Houder]

so that's why they hit 2/3's of the time while I only hit 1/2 the time with my tau

actually, orks are the most content race in the galaxy. A good fight and an orks happy, humans have lots of wants and dreams, orks just want a good fight.

[ConstantFiles]

If you play feral orks you can actually do stuff! those weird orks who can like crush stuff with their god's hands and feet... >.> da oomans are ugly *giant fist comes out of nowhere and squishes*
so I think orks like humans have different levels of psychic ability?
Just most orks are inertly psychic and too stupid to be possesed/need to be possessed.

So in conclusion Orks are stupid... which makes them psychic... so therefore all psychics are so stupid they're smart

[Typher]

It should also be pointed out that orks are born "knowing" how to fight and shoot guns and make things work. They arent trained, they dont go to school to learn how to drive a wartruk or patch a killa-kan or "FIX" other orks. For greenskins, the knowledge of such things is IN their DNA. Mechboyz are a perfect example. They are just orks who have extra-mech-knowldege coursing through their green blood and they can walk right up to a trukk or doomdiva and start fixin it.

[Stubber]

Most Ork guns are blocks of metal with a tube attached at the end and their trukk engines are little more then heaps of scrap iron welded together.

They work because the orks think they work, just like orks grow bigger if they think they are the biggest.

You told us that ork veichle was useless and wouldn't go anywhere!
Now the ork we had captured for the magos Biologis is gone!

Enginseer:
I don't get it. There was a block of concrete where the engine should be and the steering wheel was superglued to the dashboard!

[Dan296]

and dont forget. wherever orks are, squigs grow. noone knows why. but that ork slugga boy is thinking "ey, ya no wat id like fer food? no not oomies, some juicy SQUIG!" *pop* "ey a squig!" *gulp*
orks just dont care enuf to want to unlock there true psykik potential. theyre good with a good choppy choppa and a slugga with lotsa dakka.

[Perturabo]

Most psychic army....surely you mean the most psychotic army!

Mind you when doing any engineering I have been found using the Ork chant of engineering ie: swear alot then hit the offending item with a huge wrench! then I apply the ork psychic part you mention....I cross my fingers and pray that it works!

Works like a charm every time

rong, they work because there is some kind of thing in the orks mind (especially mekboyz) that makes them make it work without even realising it. a good example of this is that when mekboyz paint cars red when they are making it, without realising it they modify it a bit (ie the fuel or engine etc.) but since they don't realise it so they just think that red makes a car fasta. read the last page of the codex (or one of the last pages) for proof.

[Stubber]

One reason Orks don't display more mental abilities is because if they do they'll be called weird boyz, strapped to the prow of a kroozer and count as a strength 1 lance.

[MSguardsmen]

man i like the orks. and heres why. in last chancers when kage is on armagedon he goes up against a battlewagon. now there are orks shooting big shootas and the guns actually malfunction/jam. now if orks are all psykers on a collective scale then why think that they would malfunction/jam. i think that the mechboyz actually make something more akin to guns and vehicles than just slapping a box with some tubes and wheels and calling it a buggy or gun.

while it may be instict them orky boyz are smarter than we think

[Stubber]

The orks do seem to posses an animalistic cunning don't they.
Like when millions of kommandos infiltrated the hive city on Armageddon via its sewage pipes.

Unfortunatly for them they all got wiped out by gang milita.

[Dan296]

well that was just gahzgull giving all the advice. he had half his head blown off as well.

[Wakim]

Actually, i don`t think they`re psykers... and i don`t think their weapons work because they think they work.

Why?

I`ve read a fragment from.. i can`t remember where but the important think was that it had a techpriest or something like that thinking about the orks weaponry:

/*Techpriest starts thinking about orkoid weaponry*/

'The machine god makes weapons work'
So why does he make the ork weapons work?
Did he turn on us?
No, it can`t be! so... what gives?!
I`ve got it!
They work because orks have some strange psychic powers that make their weapons and mechs and trucks work!
Yeah, that`s it.

/*Techpriest stops thinking about orkoid weaponry because he found "the answear"*/

This is what happens when theology meets sience.

[MSguardsmen]

you do understand you have just argued against our point and then agreed with us right?

your post: Actually, i don`t think they`re psykers... and i don`t think their weapons work because they think they work


What you got from your info: They work because orks have some strange psychic powers that make their weapons and mechs and trucks work!


im sure there is some special word for this situation that escapes me at the moment

[Wakim]

=)) no

That`s the techpriest`s view

[Gnr. Keil]

now there are orks shooting big shootas and the guns actually malfunction/jam. now if orks are all psykers on a collective scale then why think that they would malfunction/jam. i think that the mechboyz actually make something more akin to guns and vehicles than just slapping a box with some tubes and wheels and calling it a buggy or gun.

This seems the most pratical. In the third Ciaphus Cain novel...god i can't remeber the name, he and a couple of other guardsman/PDF hijack a number of orc vehichles. They have a tech-preist with them and she managed to fugure out how the orc vehichles work. So I do agree the orcs are phsycic but most of there creations don't work just because they think they work.

[MSguardsmen]

I think a good way of putting it is the ork mech boyz are on the same skill as a redneck mechanic. (except the ork will actually do something everyonce in a while that will have an impact or cause one)

they both can be ignorant, duck tape fixes everything, and the better the paint job the faster it will go. also if they both smack it enough times it will start sooner or later
