Actually, Gork is more for Brute Force, and Mork is more for.. well.. 'sneaky thinking'. Or something like that. I heard it somewhere, just can't remember from where.
The 'ardboyz worshipped Gork the most, so maybe Mork is more kind towards the shamans and Goblins, who create ingenius machines of war.

alright, fair enough. but where did you find this stuff out??? i would really like to read some more about gork n mork! (im not obsessing here...really....) but i would really like to know if they are real entities. Of the gods of Chaos, they are real, the Emporer is real, The Eldar have thier own god..i think.., Necron...you get the point.

most of the eldar gods got slaughtered by slannesh. :realmad: my mate has a old game called rites of war (before dow) and in the manual it writes about the fall of the eldar gods

As I said earlier, try out the Warhammer RPG books, they could have some stuff in them. The Warhammer RPG also speaks about 'The Maw', so Ogre Kingdoms didn't COMPLETELY appear out of thin air.
I like to think of Gork'n'Mork as real entities, but they don't speak much with their children I guess. Wurrzag the Shaman was told by Gork'n'Mork to find 'The One Git', right?

I remember a blurb about Gork and Mork once that described them as the gods of Cunning Brutality (Gork) and Brutal Cunning (Mork). I'm not making that up.

I wonder how many gods in Warhammer are simply ordinary persons who somehow ascended to godhood. Sigmar was born a mortal human, for example. Others include the Great Maw, who was supposedly an Ogre who showed the others how to live, the Dwarven pantheon who all seem to have been ancient kings or heroes in Dwarven history, and maybe the Elven pantheon. Nagash could be considered the god of the undead, since he certainly qualifies as much as the others. Maybe Gork and Mork were a pair of really powerful orks who figured out how to become gods. Perhaps the Old Ones left behind clues...

Actually, a few things here...

Sigmar - Born godly (don't as how) but in a story in Lords Of Valour (BL novel) it shows the meeting of Kurgan Ironbeard and Sigmar, it states he's a god already.

The Great Maw - A comet crashed into the OK and ruined it, ogres began to worship it.

Dwarf Ancestors - Gods. All of them are true gods but lived amongst the dwarfs, in fact most kings can trace their blood back to at least one of the gods.

Elven Gods - Well their's not much on them but they are basically the same as the Eldar's fluff, just without the appolyliptic battle with Slannesh.

who are the wolf-kin from the SoC? i'm sorry if there's some big and obvious place to look for them that i just didn't check(most likely a white dwarf), but they seemed to come from no where. do they even have models? i can't even picture what they'd look like in my head, much less anything really tangiable about them

[King Ulrik Flamebeard]

Nothing really about them, except a small passage in the Annual 04. It says they're men driven to near madness by dispair or hardship, but instead of doing nothing they band together and hunt beastmen and the likes.

Other than that nothing is known about them, IIRC.

What exactly is warpstone? Where does it come from, and what are its properties? (other than mutagenic) Also, does it exist in the 40k universe?

The Old Ones created;

Lizardmen - Slann are the guardians of the Old World, even now they carry out their masters plans for the world.

Elves, Dwarfs - These were made in an attempt to create the perfect creature, IIRC. The elves were put onto Ulthuan and the dwarfs on the main old world land, though they later migrated into the mountains.

The orcs it is unknown how they appeared, they just did and well they like to fight

Well from what I remember, When the Old ones came and started creating races, Orks developed somehow without the Old Ones knowing. When they finally did notice they went to great lengths to try to destroy the "green plague" but were unsuccesfull.

This just goes to show how tuff dem orkses really are.

What stand the eight winds for?

And what surprises me is that the skaven scum doesn't worship the chaos gods. The appeared after the polar gate collapsed and seem like mutated rats. Conclusion: creation by chaos. Why don't they worship them?
