Ever since I began the Games Workshop table-top hobby, something I ceased over a decade ago due to inflated prices, I always loved the Greenskins in all their incarnations; the Orc an Gobbos in WHFB, as enemies of the 'good guys' is Black Library novels, and especially the (Space) Orks of Warhammer 40,000. They were the very first army I collected and painted, cutting down all manner of foes when I still played, but it was really their lore...their 'fluff'...that had always made me love them so.

This RP could well be seen as a homage to my all-time favourite race - stupidly brutal, hilariously comedic in their antics, and never beaten in battle, the Orks are truly the greatest thing in 40K. If you don't agree, well, you're wrong.

So, here is my proposal:

The RP will, quite obviously, be the players RPing as a bunch of Orks in the 40K universe - think of it pretty much as Ork Rogue Trader...Rowg Trayderz or something...and you'll have a pretty good idea of where I'm heading with this; there will be no leader at the very start of the RP, but I shall be implementing a 'challenge mechanic' for anyone who may wish to become the head honcho of our merry band.

Essentially we shall be a band of Orkoid mercs or Freebooterz, and I expect many things to ensue from that, but foremost and most of all I just want this RP to be fun! I want people to create Orkish and zany characters, to use terrible spelling and grammar for any conversations (although feel free not to, might make it easier), and to just have an enjoyable time RPing as an asexual fungus-based lifeform devoted to warfare but actually far more intelligent than any other species/races give them credit for.

Want to play as a Painboy who's had all his limbs replaced by mekaniks? A pyromaniac burna' boy? A Weirdboy who is always dribbling, more often than not into other Greenskins food? Even a Snotling, if you really want...you get to hang around with the Squigs, so there's a bonus before you get eaten!

So, I ask you a question so simple that an Ork could answer it...,

To WAAAGH! or not to WAAAGH!, That is the question?

If you're not interested, then feel free to just not reply...but if you are...then give me a WAAAGH! Of confirmation.

I've actually got a fairly strange, completely tactically inefficient, and I think very fun to play character in mind.

@POOHEAD189@Natsucooldude@SomeChap@agentmanatee@Savage@Hank

Your interest(s) are all noted, even though none of you have yet given me a WAAAGH! - which makes me very disappointed - but I'll accept it nonetheless.

Not sure how many people I'm expecting, or think would be required for this, but 'the more the merrier' would be one of the many mottos associated with this RP.

Once we reach...I dunno...seven? Eight? Then I'll get the IC up; until that time, I'll get to work on the CS and the like.

@Savage I'd be very interested to know what you have in mind? From what I can make out, you're just describing an Ork!

@agentmanatee As for being Da Boss, well, we shall see; remember, he who is Da Boss also leads Da Boyz AKA With great power, comes great responsibility.

RED GOES FASTER.

I'm interested in this, however, I've bene reluctant o join. As much as I love Warhammer I don't much care for orkz. I'll keep an eye on this, however.
