After huge increase of ork population on the Agri-World Agricus-X745, he Tactica Imperium decide that they would lose too many troops if htey tried taking back the planet. So they decided that they would drop a virus bomb on the planet to kill not only the orks but sadly, also the farmers. But the scientist that desighned this bomb made a miniscule mistake in their mutation of this scientificly engineered epidemic. This virus was made to mutate every brain cell in a human or orks body into a kind of cell that no longer works. After the bomb was dropped on the planet, the virus was 99.9% successful. But that 0.1% became one of hte Imperiums worst enemies. One ork survived. The reason for this is that the orks brain cells got mutated into something better than his normal brain cells. He now heals faster, can hold his breath longer, has a better imune system, and is very, very smart. An intelligent Ork, somehting that the Imperium never expected. After that, the one smart Ork started rallying up orks by building space craft that could take energy from most biological things. He planted trees inside the space craft that allowed it to suck energy from these planets and use the energy for hyper-drive. After the hyper drive is used the plants are reduced to a brown mush. But the Orange Mek found out that the Bio-matter collected by Tyranids were a great fuel for his ship so he is on lookout for hordes of Gene-Stealers. In Hyper drive his ship can reach a speed of 1 light-year per second. It still took this ork quite a long time to reach the ork colonies of the outer rim but he did and started converting them away from the religon of Gork and Mork, and telling them that they should fight for Galactical Domination. Many other orks fought against the Orange Tide, but many died trying. One of the many armies that are trying to destroy this tide are the infamous Ghazghkull Thraka. Ghazghkull and his army hate the Mek of the Orange Tide (obivously) and kills any Orange soldier on the spot. Some Orks have enough sense to join the Orange Tide, Kaptin Badrukk is one example.

So this one Ork managed to defeat Ghazghkull Thraka? Your fluff is interesting, but not very believable. What is your army's motivation, why are they trying to conquer the galaxy if they are more intelligent than normal orks? Why do they not follow Gork and Mork? I would also suggest that most fluff writers are very wary of killing off existing special characters, it just tends to make your fluff less plausible. (example: Captain Simon of the Bronze Skull Space Marine chapter is so powerful he killed Kharn the Betrayer!). Believe me, I've seen such things.

First Reply, think of this Intelligent Ork as a very smart Big Mek. What ork could resist following an ork that builds amazing weapons. Many Orks rule their mobs with an Iron Fist but this ork rules his mob with a great gun. This Warlord draws in Lootas and Flash Gitz (Thats the main reason Kaptin Badrukk joined him), and Orks that dream of amazing Shootas and fast Trukks. How did he round up other orks? He built space craft of course. The Warlord of Orange is very smart so he built space craft that has a Hyper-Drive that can jump the Warlords space ship quickly from planet to planet without using the Warp.
----------

Raven, The Orange Warlord wants to take over the galaxy for other races technology. After he kills an out post of enemy soldiers then he kustomises their guns (I think this would make my orks look cool if they have other races weapons). Orks love fighting so, plenty of boyz fight with him. I dont like the religon of Gork and Mork so my orks dont fight for that cause. You might want to read it again.

Golgotha (the plant where yarack lost his tank) is featued in the IG book Gunheads.

anyway Golgotha has a high iron deposit content in the air and all the earth and plants are stained rusty orange/red including the orcs that life thier because miniscule particals of iron are in the skin.

hope that is any good for you.
The orks themselves arent orange. They just dye the cloth they have or sometimes tatoo themselves orange.

pretty dam short......

Also i'd like to pick on 1 small detail....
Defective virus bomb?
Ok either you mean the virus is defective......
or the bomb had triggering problems, didn't release all viruses, didn't drop off at the right spot...in which it doesn't sound like any of these problems.....

Now lets elaborate on the virus being defective..... 40 000 years of mutation and evading different organisms immune systems isn't going to be able to be immune to many! But since orks are like sponges and can shrug off most things YES your dude is an exception!

I hope you could elaborate more on your fluff and perhaps go into little details.... that helps makes fluff much much much much longer!

Well a single ork can breed other orks.Arent they grown from spores that are thrown to the ground by their very sweat?Also the fact that he wants to conquer the galaxy doesnt mean he can and the fact that he is intelligent doestnt mean that he is einstein.He is just more intelligent than the others.

As for trying to interpent things like a faster than light system.Remember gentlemen:

1)This is the 41st millenium so science made breakthroughs and we dont know if in actuallity things work the same way as we think em today
2)He is an ork for the emperors shake:They make force fields and they dont even know how to build a 20th centrury aircraft!They make their guns work because they believe they work!So why not building such a devicce and work cause he believes it works?
3)Killing famus fluff chars?Well thats a loss.No you cant do that he may have won a skirmish against him though and wounded him badly thats how far as it gets.None said that they are unbeatable.Remember hell be back for you though!

Read it again please. Oh and he cannot outdo other races off the top of his head, that would be stupid, but he has invented a more effective way of space travel and better ORK wepondry. Its better compared to other ork wepons but not to the weapons of certain other races.
