Not much of a fight then, is there? What kind of ork would want to kill people with LESS fighting?
Plot twist: all the orks are on the purple planet when it explodes, WAAAGH! Blurple goes down as the best WAAAAAAAGH in history among ork-kind, at least as long as they can remember (which is about 2 weeks).
WATS BETTER DAN 2 HOLE PLANETZ FOIGHTIN???
So, why haven't the orks won yet?
The galaxy is constantly in a state of complete chaos and war everywhere, the orks won a long time ago
That just means Chaos is winning.
Then why havent they won yet
Chaos can't win, it would just be Order then. Nurgle would revert to being Isha and Khaine and Tzeentch would be reabsorbed by Khorne and Cegorach. Slaanesh would be revealed to be just a dream all along.
>Tyranids, Chaos, and Orks all benefit from constant warfare
>Fightin' is fun fer Orks
>Orks iz always fightin'
>Fightin' draws in more Orks cuz it's so fun
>More Orks= more fightin'= more fun
Sounds like Orks iz winnin' ter me.
Why bother hiding the planet when you can just paint it red so they can't intercept it?
>why don't the orks just "thing that requires forward planning, meta awareness of their psychic effect, and a mountain of other assumptions"
They have to know of their psychic effect to do anything with it, unless we’re supposed to believe they think everything they do is normal despite nobody else doing it.
It’s Faith
If you believe it works, it works
If you know it works, it stops
this is exactly why orks don't "just win"
their shit only works if they keep being orky
the situation in the OP might happen but only if they do it for reasons like making the biggest bang they can because SMASH IT GUD BOYZ
doing it for non-orky reasons is doomed to fail
this is also why space marines are the biggest human faction; they live for the glory of battle and get a boost from the orks
it's also why the raptors - who wear green - are the best chapter
>unless we’re supposed to believe they think everything they do is normal despite nobody else doing it.
Yes you idiot, thats literally what it is. Orks dont think red ones go faster "because we have magic that means our belief makes it so", they just believe red ones go faster.
that is the entire fricking point of how and why it works
it's a psychic placebo
I sometimes wonder if whoever typed "have you ever seen a purple Ork?" could possibly imagine what he was creating ...
I only have very superficial knowledge of 40k though board osmosis. What does the colour purple do for orks?
just googled it, funny stuff
Why purple?
Its the color associated with stealth (like red is for speed) based entirely on the joke of "have you ever seen a purple ork? no? thats what I thought"
why wouldn't that apply to every color besides green?
Because purple is the furtherst from green you can get and therefore the funniest color to do it with. Its also just generally garish and unstealthy.
Just to add, there used to be a possibility where some of your army would refuse to fight if the opponents army wore mainly green. Granted, it was one specific unit (Madboyz) and it depended on you rolling a specific result on a large table, but it could happen.
It wasn't all bad, for the record. They couldn't fight, BUT NEITHER WOULD THE ENEMY - or at least they couldn't target the Madboyz ("Sarge, why is that ork calling me his mate and asking if I want a beer?" "Just ignore them Private, and they'll get bored and go away."), so you were able to move a decent sized LOS-blocking mob of lads up the table untouched (and then hope they got a change of mood when they got there).
As I recall, anyway. Sadly my 'Ere We Go got nicked years ago (bastard) so if anyone has it can confirm I've not got Alzheimer's yet, that would be nice.
Ork robots also had color-based targeting (when "programming" them one of the cards was something like "shoot at nearest non-green thing")
Why can't there just be a mass campaign to gaslight the orks into thinking they're just ordinary fungus, so they're never an issue ever again?
Because ork imagination magic was always one possible explanation posited by Imperial scholars, and never the actual canon. Well, at least until moronic normies swarmed the internet and started taking the jokes being made on Ganker at face value. Frick, I hate you all so much.
They would just laugh at you and think you're moronic and then shoot you. It wouldn't even be possible.
Most Dark Matter in the universe are planets orks painted purple for just this reason, but once it was purple it was hard for them to remember it & where they put it, so they just forgot about it & picked up another planet to paint purple.
Most of the universe is dark matter
