How would you describe to someone new to Warhammer 40k why a race of Fungai Orkoids apparently older than life on earth itself tries to imitate poorly the human pop cultural approximation of 17th century sea pirate?

Because Ork pirates have to be the most stylish shootas in town

Damn...

Still doesn't really answer the question but them dakka-get's are delicious.

Because pirates are cool.

That goes without the question... still doesn't makes any fucking sense.

Uz orkz don't nee' ta be eggsplaneing anythin' to da filthee 'umies

'can someone other than fucking ork answer my question'

Orkoids tend to borrow culture from the race they're actively dealing with at the time. It's notable that more Orkz in recent times have become familiar with Low or High Gothic and they're effectively using modified Human stuff. How they got their hands on information or drive to act like pirates extinguished 30,000+ years ago is a mystery (though the Imperium does have a bunch of callbacks to respectively ancient history lying about.)

Cus they copy what they see the trendy rogue traders

Now, thank you...

Have some beautiful Ork maiden for your troubles.

Oooo lucky trips.
Dats flash

The Beast series has a coming book where the Imperials discover the Ork homeworld and attack it. How will the destruction of the Ork homeworld affect the Orks?

Also what's the difference between the Krorks and the Orks?

Welcome to 40k

>How will the destruction of the Ork homeworld affect the Orks?
...they will give zero fucks? It's not like they draw fenris powah from it or something

Anyone interested in Slugga Boy Quest? I promeez it'z gun be orky. Wiv EXPLOOSIONZ!

Fair enough.

Im actually familiar with 40k. The players are not...

Still i would like to know some go-around for my personal amusement, say Rouge Trader campaigning or something.

This is where this question comes from, do you anons just go for hand waving or some of you tried to explain 40k ridiculousness from time to time and if yes then how?

>Wiv EXPLOOSIONZ!

HOW ABOUT DAKKA YA GIT?!

>no Dakka

Itz shit ya git

There are "perfect" explanations already.
1)Ancient super-advanced tech of Necrons / Eldar / Dark Age of Technology
2)Warp fuckery with timespace and common sense
3)Pafos (stored in big pauldrons, becomes less effective if wearing a helmet)
4)WAAAAAAAGH! (gestalt psychic stuff of orks, who are all weak psykers, makes tubes with clips nailed to them shoot)

DO YOU FINK DERE KAN BE XPLOZIONS WITHOUT DAKKA? BIG MEK TORGUE WILL KILL YOU TO DEATH WITH BARE HANDZ YA GITZ

Explain it if it has established, non-ancient canon supporting it or if it makes sense, otherwise hand wave it.

SO WHAT 'BOUT DAT MISSUN BOSS?

Because a ten-foot tall, quarter-ton monster who can punch through steel walls can do whatever the fuck he wants?

Wot Da Zog? Yer lookin few weedy answers askin 'umies, or panzees 'bout da Orkz!

Wot if da umies borrowed from da Orkz and dey fergot about it?

WE WUZ

Battlefleet: Gothic Armada looks fucking boss.
