Warhammer 40k orks are just a shitpost. Reading up on the lore of them is a true test because they’re so absurd you cant tel the dufference between theory and actual canon.

Shit i’ve read.

-every one possesses a form of psychic willpower that affects reality.

-technically could not be killed, but a human taunting them described how he would kill them so they became killable.

-they believe the color red increases speed so it does, including their enemies ships.

-they believe the color yellow makes explosions more powerful, so it does.

- they believe the color purple is stealthy so anything purple that they see is now invisible.

-they have windows on their spaceships to do drive-by’s because they dont know theres no air to breathe in space.

-their guns dont actually have any proper functioning parts. But since they believe its a gun, its now a gun.

-an out of ammo imperium squad once used empty guns to kill orks by shouting “bang” and since the orks didnt know they were empty it still killed them.

And now my personal favorite.

-while the emperor is believed to be kept alive by continuous sacrifices of his own techpriests. It is believed that the only reason the emperor is still alive is because the orks believe he is alive.

I cant tell what is true and what is made up because it all reads like that.

The only thing I know about Orkz is just as you said. If they believe something will work it usually does. They can put together a bunch of scrap metal and duct tape it together and if they believe it’s a tank then fuck you it’s a working tank. Which is super cool and super frightening.
