Warhammer 40K: Every Faction Ranked From Least To Most Evil

10. The Orks

Horus Heresy 40k

It is said that within the 40K community there is no such thing as a salty Ork player. That’s because unlike the spiteful Necrons, the fanatical Imperium and the haughty Eldar, the Orks live to do one thing and one thing only – fight: if they can blast something with a (deafeningly loud) Shoota or cleave it apart with a (stupidly big) Choppa, then an Ork is on cloud nine.

They are the comic-relief of the 40K universe. They have an absurd psychic imagination, allowing them to drive mad-max mobiles with no fuel in them, cobble entire space ships together out of mismatched scrap, or be stealthy by painting stuff purple, because you’ve never seen a purple Ork, have you?

But for all their silliness this is still a race that lives for wanton bloodlust and killing. They have enslaved a species, the Gretchin, and while an individual Ork is not the smartest thing in the world, put enough of them together and they begin to exhibit a cruel and devious intelligence.

The may be funny at a distance, but up close, you won’t be the one laughing.
