'If ya wanna be big an' mean,

If ya wanna be best an' green,

If ya wanna get da job done fast,

Da Vulcha Skwad is where it's at!!!'

Lift off chant of the Vulcha Skwad

While the heretical forces of Chaos and the bio-consuming might of the Tyranids pose terrible dangers to the worlds of the Imperium, it is the barbaric and seemingly endless hordes of the Orks which are the greatest threat to the galaxy. Engulfing entire worlds like a frenzied green tide, Ork warbands have threatened to overrun entire sectors in a tremendous storm of bloodshed and violence. Willing to take on any enemy and even turning upon each other if no opponents present themselves, Orks are perhaps the most aggressive race in the known universe.

Orks vary tremendously in shape, size and power. In fact, their only common feature is their green hue. From the weedy hordes of the Gretchin mobz to the slug-throwing mania of the Ork Shoota Boyz, all of the Orks are built for bloodshed. Led on the battlefield by the biggest and the strongest greenskins (known as Nobz), Orks live by the maxim - Might is Right!

Although Orks may not seem to be as technologically advanced as the other races of the galaxy, they have an innate talent for machinery and love loud explosions and enormous guns. While their many War Buggies, Trukks, Traks, Big Gunz, clanking Dreadnoughts and Killa Kanz may look primitive on the battlefield when compared with the smooth lines of the Eldar or Space Marine vehicles, Ork vehicles are built for destruction and kill the enemy just as well as any other race's war machines! When an Ork WAAAGH! is on the move across the galaxy, any who dare stand in their way are sure to be in for a fight!
