Most interesting faction in WH40K

[Gorbles]

The orks are an obvious comic relief
Although even they have the interesting element of being able to make things work by simply believing they do.

They've gone back and forth on comic relief over the years - it wasn't just Orks. In the Rogue Trader days there was a lot of nonsense on a lot of sides.

But Orks were seen as the most crude, and GW leaned into this over the years. In a way, just like in fantasy, you see the overlay of human stereotypes onto each respective faction. There's a reason (Fantasy, not 40k) Orks were the poster faction for Blood Bowl, which is "what if Warhammer did American football".

Orks were supposedly inspired primarily by football (real football, not handegg) hooligans....

In the game cinematics they always use a cockney accent too

Re the Tyranids, one nice element is that they can use single entities, the gene-stealers, who will be moved as stowaways in imperials ships and proceed to attack and enslave victims, expanding a network of control within the human destination planet.

A question:

Does Chaos (apart from Slaanesh) target anyone other than humans?
