I've been listening to Mike Brooks' Ork books on Audible over the past few weeks, and while I barely qualify as a casual 40k fan, I absolutely love the orks. I love how the rest of the universe is "grim, dark, dark, grim, there is no happiness in life, only suffering until the sweet release of death," and then there are these green British psychos just having an absolute blast with everything. I know in-universe they're a terrifying, unstoppable force that literally feeds on violence, but reading a book from their POV is comedy gold.
"Oi, you git! What're you eatin' all me dakka for?"
Cuz if I can learn 'ow to fart 'ard enough, I won't need a shootah! I'll BE a shootah!"
"You shtoopid grot! Remember Uggbutt Boogerface? 'e tried to make 'imself as fast as a car by drinkin' gasoline, but as soon as 'e farted, 'e exploded and killed a dozen other gits wut was standin' nearby!"
"So you're sayin' it's a bad idea?"
"No, I'm sayin' you need to drink gas too if you want your farts to 'ave any proper kick to 'em!"
It makes me want to write my own book about orks, only they can't be orks because 40k is copyrighted and I don't write fanfiction.
Any other ork appreciators here?
