Why no orks

[curselove]

there should always be an ork in a warhammer game when there is a space Marine then there should be Orks does 2 go hand in hand or better yet make a new class Ork that way we can go around yelling WHAAAAA and killing every thing that move LoL from the SM to CSM :)

It's psychic power, the will of the many draws power from the warp.
So Orks believe so much that something works, it does.
If another race tries to use it, it doesn't work. It does not have the psychic energy to power it.

Because orks do not devise plots that would require an inquisitor to investigate?

Because that would require effort to make.

Some orks are smarter than others. Moreover, the Ordo Xenos does study orks. An ork incursion may attract the attention of the Inquisition if it was extremely unusual (e.g. if the orks were all armed with very advanced/archaeotech weapons). Another possibility is like that in WH40K Space Marine: an ork invasion interrupts the Inquisition's activities in a particular area.

@curselove
The lore is a bit contradictory on the nature of ork vehicles and weaponry. Some sources do state that ork machinery is only usable by greenskins, but many other sources have Imperial Guardsmen and even Astartes occasionally making use of ork weapons and vehicles without any issues except the poor ergonomics and shoddy craftsmanship. For example, several imperial guardsmen and a Black Templars dreadnought commander and fly an ork heavy bomber in Crusade of Armageddon, and in one of the Space Wolves novels, Ragnar Blackmane and his squad drive an ork war trukk... and even end up in a drag race with the other orks.

The way I like to interpret it is that the orks' war machines do work for anyone, but the orks' psychic instinct and general disregard for personal safety allows them to take several 'shortcuts' in construction that would be unacceptable to most other races in the galaxy. Ork atmospheric aircraft, for example, don't defy the laws of physics the way that Necrons' spacecraft do.

curselove,

I went through a very similar thought process when I bought this game. I'm even worse off than the orcs though:

At least their products perform according to their wishes.

At least their (captured and repurposed) heavy bolters can hit ♥♥♥♥ past arm's length too. :P

well, for bipedal mounds of carnivorous fungus, orks do all right, all things considered....but excepting something like a spacehhulk with xenos technology/dark millenium items, or something similar, they are too often merely stepping stones for inquisitors on the 'bus route' to glory- NOT primary stops....again....ork...just...no..some of you have a rather unhealthy obsession with orks...

ORKS, ORKS, ORKS, ORKS.

I want orks tau and all other warhammer 40k races to battle💪😅

[reptiliane]

There aren't orks because they pressed the wrong big red button at their last convention.

I would love orks added as a final update or dlc. Orks are common in the galaxy after all and while most inquisitors would probably feel they had better things to do, it doesn't mean they wouldn't occasionally end up encountering some.
