==Ahem== WAAAGH! has several meanings with the Orks. While it's most famous as a battle cry, it also refers to the military campaign and energy field surrounding the Orks. As a military campaign, a WAAAGH! is named after the [[Warboss]] who gathered it together and is generally described as a holy war, pub crawl and pillaging rolled into one great big party, where Orks travel from one planet to another, fighting anything and everything that they can find. WAAAGH! also refers to the energy the Orks generate while in a campaign. A highly [[psyker|psychic]] race, Orks do not draw psychic power from the [[Warp]] like [[Human]]s and [[Eldar]], but instead from each other. This allows Ork psykers, dubbed Weirdboyz, to access a large amount of psychic energy. However, if they soak up too much energy, they end up exploding, taking several Orks with them. This energy field is actually vital to the Orks' war efforts, as their ramshackle technology relies on a sufficient number of Orks agreeing that it works that way as much as mechanical laws (e.g. their belief that "[[Blood Angels|red]] ones go faster" turns into a measurable increase in the top speed of a buggy with enough red paint on it). The Orks, however, do not understand that they are making this energy field, and simply assume that the technology works because they believe that is how the universe works. Interestingly other races can also use WAAAGH! energy, even more adeptly than the Orks themselves. The Primarch [[Vulkan]], when facing off against the [[The Beast]] tapped into the primal WAAAGH! power itself and used it as a weapon against the Ork Warlord, indicating that a human can tap into and control WAAAGH! energy. This is particularly impressive considering even supposedly powerful psyker races, such as the Eldar, have never been capable of wielding WAAAGH! energy or the Psychic Energy produced by the Emperor either. Since [[Gork]] and [[Mork]] are real perhaps, then, this indicates that they simply favoured Vulkan as more Orky than the Orks themselves. Or it might be another proof of the axiom "[[Salamanders|Green]] iz da best". And for the love of Gork (or Mork?) The "G" in "WAAAGH!" is silent. It is not pronounced "Warg", which is a bigger, eviler, smarter wolf - it is pronounced like British football hooligans would say "War".
