Editing Black Orc (section)

==40k Black Orks==
Despite the fact that they are never explicitly mentioned in 40k, there are two examples that seem to be rough equivalents to Black Orcs.

Firstly, during the 11th Black Crusade, Abaddon went to a planet called Relorria. He encountered some Orks that were looting the planet, which Abaddon took as his opportunity to [[Possessed|pull a fast one on them]] and [[Fabius Bile|do some experiments]]. The result of these Daemon-Ork hybrids is never explicitly mentioned, but it is apparently a success. Whether these Black Orks will end up serving the Black Legion or return to their Klans (or both) is unknown.

The second example are the Orks from [[Ullanor]]. During [[The War of The Beast]] the Imperium encountered a type of Ork that was not only much bigger than your average Ork boy, but better organised and far more intelligent as well. These Orks wiped the [[Imperial Fists]] down to a single man and were later seen wearing bits of old Space Marine armour from the Great Crusade making them better defended as well. This can be seen as part of the way between Ork and a restored Krork.

In terms of existing units though, the most immediate counterpart of the Black Orcs as 'the orks who do displine' are the [[Stormboyz]] who while not 'arder' then a standard ork, are more trained.

Hilariously, the [[Black Templars]] could be considered as the Space Marines' equivalent of Black Orks. They have black color scheme, specialize in melee combat, high in numbers, conquer planets from planets in hordes of super warriors with blades, and are extremely obedient, so loyal to their boss (aka [[God-Emperor|Big Emps]]) that not even the inquisition would dare tell them what to do.
