Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon: vs Da Orks

[Fetito Fazzito]

What's the difference between "Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon – Da Orks" and "Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon"?

Is it the same game? A DLC? A stand alone expansion? What are the differences?

In "Armageddon" you're only playing the humans (Imperial Guard + Space Marines) during the first Ork invasion of Armageddon. Together with the DLC available for that one the game's following the various battles and campaigns from the perspective of the defenders until finally beating the enemy back.

"Da Orks" is a standalone game putting you on the other side of the conflict: As one of Ghazkulls officers you're leading the Ork forces during the invasion, trying to conquer the planet and deal with army and Space Marines.

From a story perspective I'd go for the human side first but if you really love Orks you might as well start with that game without missing out on story parts or something.
Ideally you already know the whole history of the 2nd war for Armageddon, then you'll have no issues understanding what's going on at all ;)

You're definitely "intended" to play Da Orks afterwards but if you really like the orks, then there's no inherent reason you couldn't jump in there first.
