A community dedicated to the universe of Warhammer 40k, a tabletop setting in the far, distant future.

This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.

Rules

  1. Keep it civil. Don’t insult other community members in posts or comments, and don’t make posts designed to insult other community members or parts of the fandom with different opinions.

  2. Posts must be on-topic.

  3. No real life politics. That means no political advocacy, and no real life political discussions vaguely dressed up as on-topic posts. If you want to discuss real life politics, you are free to start your own community.

  4. No memes/low-effort spam/Youtube poops style posts. grimdank is a place for those.

  5. Posts must be coherent.

  6. If a post is otherwise allowed but has realistic gore or nudity, please mark it NSFW.

Michael Warren Lucas. (mwl.io) Prohibition Orcs/Frozen Talons/Spilled Mirovar/Fair Balls/Yellow-Eyed War.

Edit - I just realized this was in a 40k community. It popped up on my main feed. These are not 40k universe orc books but dude does an incredible job of writing an orc society.

Mike Brooks' Ufthak Blackhawk stuff has been pretty great, the dude definitely gets orks

There's two main books- Brutal Kunnin, and Da Big Dakka, plus a handful of shorter stories
