[QUOTE="-Warlord-, post: 945392, member: 7933"] In the Warhammer universe there are plenty of orcs. Don't know any specific Warhammer novel that features them though. The Warhammer orcs are a great bunch. Powerfull, big...and even unknowlingly psionic. They worship gods, or so they think, but the power for their magic actually comes from the orc groupmind. Lots of orcs together make a psionic resonance that a shaman can tap into for power...or explode his head if too many orcs are around. In Warhammer 40K this is even worse. Red orc-cars go faster, because Orcs think they go faster. The Empire has tested this. They painted a orctruck they captured blue....and it slowed down. They painted it red again, and it got faster again. Big weapons do more damage than small ones (even though the smaller ones are powerweapons) because orcs believe big weapons do more damage than small damage. Anything with a barrel can shoot, because orcs believe anything with a barrel can shoot. The empire has examined orc-weapons, seen in battle as firing lasers, only to notice the things didn't even have powercells. [/QUOTE]
