Difference between WH Fantasy and WH 40k Orcs/Orks

[Ninjasquirrel]

Are they basically the same?

[Xajmai]

They are the meanest and greenest race in both games, so yes basically the same

[White, the Loiterer]

40k puts a greater emphasis on the different clans along with factors such as WAAGH energy.

Plus orks have more dakka.

[Ninjasquirrel]

Guess I'm more saying physiologically. Like orcs/orks are supposed to just have natural intuition on how to use stuff, so you think an orc from fantasy was given a gun, would he just "know" how to use it?

If I ported a bunch of orcs from fantasy into into a waaaagh in 40k, would the other orks notice a difference? Or would they, I'm assuming, just get swept up by the waagh energy and fit in just as if they were any other clan?

If I plop Grimgor down in the middle of a space marine squad, he'd take them out?

[Xajmai]

No he most likely wouldn't since it's a space marine squad. But then again there aren't alot of orks that would either. In general I think orks and orcs physical traits are pretty much the same.

Fantasy Battle Orcs and 40K Orks are simular in attitude and pysiology somewhat, Orks are a bit tougher and ofcourse have a techological advantage, they just differ in their genre, and lore.
