The most insane war in all of Warhammer 40k didn't involve Space Marines, Primarchs or Chaos - just an endless tide of nids and Orks

    The idea of ork spores fighting on a microscopic level is hilarious
  • @Historyfrek4ever
    Octarius, the number one holiday destination for orks and the most genius idea that an inquisitor has ever had. One that will never ever back fire horribly on imperium. Inquisitors really can’t help but escalate can’t they.
  • @animargaming2979
    No matter the result, this was hands down one of the most badass moments in all of 40k. The literal "when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object". This was a glorious moment and gave me goosebumps. I'm also a huge ork fanboy
  • @rexlumontad5644
    Inquisitor Kryptman got excommunicated by the Inquisition for going too far even by their standards in trying to contain the Tyranid threat.
  • I can't believe ghazghkull thraka got bored of the biggest fight in this space sector with nearly every faction in this fight.
  • @rexlumontad5644
    It would be funny if Trazyn captures the battlefield between Orks and Tyranids, and add them to his ever growing collection.
  • @casbot71
    Don't Orks sense genestealers straight away? They sense somethings off and kill them instantly, so the Genestealers are never able to get a foothold.
  • @MrRico1555
    I just love that within the war there's a story of a warboss who created a crown that completely destabilized the hivemind around him. Something no one else can recreate. Orcs at their finest
  • I don't think it's all bad for the Imperium. It bought precious time to study the Tyranids and learn new ways to fight them, and for multiple Primarchs to return.
  • @markcoroneos7811
    Nids: we will fight you and never stop coming in an unending tide until either you or us are all dead. Orks: your terms are acceptable
  • @GoufinAround_
    I really think the Orks are the galaxy's only true hope against the Tyranids. The insanity of the Orks seem like the only group who can adjust their fighting as much as the Nids, though not through thoughtfulness and logic but "can't fight as much as we want"
  • @Butter_Warrior99
    You know what would be hype af, if that really popular Ork boss evolved into a Krok.
  • @RogueFox7050
    This was the Alien Vs Predator Arc of Warhammer, though both sides came out stronger (more so the Nids) the Orcs themselves are definitely gonna need that strength if they’re fully committed to going after Angron for what he did to Yarrick.
  • @rexlumontad5644
    If the theory of the Tyranids being creations of Old Ones meant to cleanse the galaxy and consume biomass is true, then it's fitting they fight the Orks/Krorks - made by Old Ones who forgot to put an Off Switch on them during the War In Heaven.
  • @kennyleung9909
    That part with the Inquisitor and the Death Watch trying to use a stolen Ork device but died killed me. 😆
  • @Rytonic69
    Kryptman: "Gaze upon the ork filth, see how they weep at their own destruction!" Orkz: *wiping away tears "Dis iz da best day o' me life! WAAAAAAAGH!!!"
  • @rexlumontad5644
    Inquisitor Kryptman: "LET'S YOU AND HIM FIGHT!" pits the Orks and Tyranids against each other
  • @Yalrick
    The orks deserved to win Octarius. They are always whipped in the 40K setting and it would have been cool to have a proper ork threat emerge.
  • F yes! There needs to be novels about this! I still find it dumb that the orks “lost” with almost no info other than that the warlord was killed by the swarmlord…
