Skald idly picked his nose out in boredom. The other boys back in Krumpus Bay always warned him that the Scraplootas were odd gits, but he paid them no mind. He heard too many stories of the fights they got up to and all the loot they looted and that was more than enough to convince him to sign on with them when they made port in Krumpus, looking for any boys who would dare answer the call for adventure. Sure, they were definitely weird and sometimes came off as not so orky, what with all their grots just mucking about and all those sneaky kommando gits, but they always knew where the fighting was. Not to mention that big titan nob Boris and all the krumping he did. But today was different. There was no krumping or looting at all to be done on this planet. Instead, it was just a bunch of the older boys doing the most unorky thing he could think of: being quiet. And it wasn’t the kind of quiet like when they were waiting in ambush either, it was more like the kind of quiet when someone’s tied a bunch of raw meat to you and locked you in a cage full of sleeping squigs. Skald didn’t get it one bit, why did the boss even bring them here if there wasn’t any fighting or looting to be done? He approached another ork that was milling about the same as him, hoping to get to the bottom of this.
>>
>>20964362
“Oy! What’s all dis muckin’ about fer, den?!” But despite his best efforts and intentions, all his shouting only got Skald smacked upside the head by the older, bigger ork followed by words of anger hissed at him in a menacing whisper. “Shaddap ya git! It’s like ya want da boss ta krump ya good!”

“All’s I'm askin’ is what da big idea is, havin’ us footslog it all this way when dere isn’t even a fight ta be had.” Skald whispered back, rubbing his head angrily.

“Da Big Mek is checkin up on her, ya git.”

“Her? What da zog is you on about now?”

“‘E’s talkin’ ‘bout da blue grot.” A baleful voice grumbled from behind them. Skald jumped and spun around to find himself face to chest with a hulking brute of a kommando. He didn’t look angry at Skald, though, just tired. Even his large mohawk seemed to sag wearily, as if it took more effort to stay upright than the nob cared to exert.

“Blue grot?! You is muckin about!”

The mohawked kommando sighed as the other ork jumped back in the conversation. “Blue was just dat: a blue grot. She was an ork, but she wasn’t at da same time.” He shrugged at Skald’s look of confusion. “Ya learned ta just go wiff it.”

“Den where is she now if she’s so orky?” Skald countered.

“Fer da longest time, she was just anuvva part o da krew, krumpin wiff da best of dem and fixin gubbins like no otha mekboy has been able ta do since.”

“Dats why she was da Big Mek’s favorite.” the nob cut in before allowing the ork to continue.
>>
>>20964366
“But one day, she stopped bein’ quite so orky. She stopped growin’ when she krumped gits, and she even started getting weaker and punier! She started muckin’ about more den she was fixin’ gubbins and krumpin’ gits and one day, she got so weak dat she fell and couldn’t back up, so…” the ork trailed off, lost in thought to days long past.

“So da Big Mek picked ‘er up an put her in her hammock ta rest fer a bit, hopein dat it would help.” the nob picked up where the ork left off. “It didn’t. After a few days of bein’ so weak she couldn’t even get up and sleepin most days away, she just went ta sleep forever. Can you’s imagine ‘ow horrible dat musta been fer her? Ta not even be able ta fight?”

“So, some blue git what is an ork but isn’t an ork stops growin’ big an’ ‘ard and den sleeps ferever?” Skald tried to sort it out in his head before he stated with finality “She don’t sound too orky ta me. ” Skald didn’t even have time to be oroud of his deductive skills before a big meaty hand wrapped around his throat and brought him face to face with the kommando nob, those formerly tired eyes now alive with a rage Skald didn’t think possible, and he even had his favorite burna stolen once!

“She was da orkiest grot dat eva lived, ya hear me?!” the nob’s voice came through quiet, but powerful. “Orkier dan Gork AND Mork!” Right as Skald thought he was going to die from this enraged kommando’s throttling, the nob simply dropped him to the ground and wandered off, finding some other place to sit about.
>>
>>20964372
“None of dat has anyfing ta do wiff why we’s here, though.” Skald said while gently massaging his throat.

“Dis is where she’s sleepin’ ya stupid git.” the other ork finally snapped out of his reverie. “Dis is where we found her, so da boss figgered dis is da best place fer her ta sleep comfortably. We’s stop by every now an’ den ta check up on her an’ make sure no one is botherin her.”

Skald wasn’t quite sure he understood it all, so he just shrugged and went back to picking his nose with the new resolution to not ask any more questions.

--------------------------------------------

Up on a gentle green hillside, Big Mek Tinka Zizzbitz trudged forth. His steps grew more deliberate and the box in his hands grew heavier as he approached his destination: a single rokkit launcher sticking out of the ground, a spiked helmet with goggles and a small spanner designed for more delicate hands than that of an ork hanging loosely off of it. Tinka slowly ambled up to the marker and stood there awkwardly.
>>
>>20964375
“Uhhh, hey dere Blue. Still sleepin’?” Tinka took a deep breath and waited half-expectantly before continuing. “I thought so… Well, I’s brought ya sumfin anyways! It’s da best bits I’s could get my hands on! I even made sure none of da otha mekboys touched em afore I got ta dem! Not dat it woulda mattered, seein as you was da only one who could eva get dose tau bits ta work proppa – I still think o’ you’s wheneva I cut a git wiff my Zizzomatick Chainkutlass! They’s still jump an’ wiggle when it bites into dem!” He laughed for a bit before pausing awkwardly again. “I’ll…I’ll just put it next ta all da otha bits…You’s got a lot a dem now, doncha know! So you’s betta quit muckin about an’ wake up soon, cuz you’s got a lotta work ta do!” Tinka’s bionic eye itched. The same one Blue had fixed for him in mere minutes on that day, so long ago…
>>
>>20964379
“Please wake up soon, Blue, da whole tribe misses you. Snekkit may not come ta talk to ya like I do, but that’s just cuz ‘e’s still sore about ya goin’ ta sleep wiffout warnin’ him like dat.” Tinka put on an enthusiastic smile, as if he was trying to convince someone with his words. “Once ya wake up it’ll all be sorted out right proppa! Even Derknitt misses ya, Blue. ‘E don’t have anyone ta match his wit an’ kunnin’ wiff now dat you left – between you an’ me, ‘e’s gotten a lil lazy, so you’s could probably really krump good a few times afore ‘e even knows what hit ‘em!” The short lived smile faded from his face. “In fact, you’s could say da whole tribe ‘as gotten lazy. We ‘aven’t gotten into as much trouble since ya started sleepin’. Those tau gits legged it once dey stopped seein you on da battlefield and even da ’umies don’t seem so interested in a fight, an’ dose beakies love ta fight almost as much as an ork! I guess dat’s all dat we’s been up to, Blue. I still miss ya, though. You was da best grot a Big Mek could eva ask fer.”

Tinka sat there in silence, waiting for anything to happen.

“I’s don’t fink she’s wakin’ up dis time.” Warboss Urtylug said, placing a hand on his old friend’s shoulder as gingerly as an ork can muster. Tinka sighed.

“Yeah…Yeah, I’s guess not.” Tinka kneeled down and patted the earth beneath the marker rokkit. “Sleep well, Blue, fer as long as it takes.”

Deep in the Immaterium, in some far corner where not even the most powerful god dares tread was the two fearsome orkish brother deities, Gork and Mork, locked in their enternal roughhousing. Mork had thought he had Gork krumped good this time, holding him in a particularly painful headlock when Gork had suddenly slipped his way loose and tripped Mork over his own feet. Mork quickly recovered to find Gork already on top of him and eager to grapple once more, the slightest gleam of blue shining brightly in his bloodshot eyes.

Skald was in a bind. He had joined up with the Scraplootas just a few days and they had already stuck him in on the front line on his very first mission. While normally this isn’t a problem for an ork, the Scraplootas weren’t your typical orks. They didn’t have numbers or much armor to their name, just sneaking about and their titan Boris. Skald had been assigned to the kommanod squads that were supposed to infiltrate the humie base ahead of time to disable the anti-air guns and secure a landing zone for Boris. However, the humans saw them coming. So now the Scraplootas, who relied solely on the element of surprise and their titan, had neither. They put up a valiant effort, with the few grots they had brought with them milling about in some sense of order trying to either disrupt enemy lines or avoid lasgun fire (it was hard to tell which) and kommandos blasting anything and everything they could, but it still wasn’t enough to break through to those anti-air guns they needed to bring down.

Skald was feeling the desperation of their situation first hand. His squad had been torn to shreds and only he was left, trying to hide in a back alley he had found so that he didn’t meet the same fate as his former squadmates. To make matters worse, his burna was malfunctioning, giving a pathetic whine where once there had been the roar of fire and death. To make worse matters even worse, the guardsmen who had been tailing him had finally caught up to him. Skald decided it would take nothing short of a miracle from Gork himself to save him now and prepared to charge the humies for all he was worth. If he had to die here, he planned on going out like a proper ork. At least, that was his plan until a shadow looming over the alley had stopped all parties in their tracks. Instead of a miracle, Skald found himself cast in the ominous silhouette of a tau battlesuit. And not just any battlesuit, but one of the ones only their warbosses used. Not only were the Scraplootas going to lose to a bunch of puny humies, but now they would suffer humiliation at the hands of the tau and Skald couldn’t even warn the others of what was happening!

Of course, if Skald wasn’t panicking and actually paid attention, he might have noticed that the entire battlesuit was painted blue with scrap metal crudely welded on in various locations. It had even been given an orky helmet mounted on top of its chassis, adorned with a spike to complete the ensemble. Skald did notice the banner sporting the Scraploota insigna waving proudly from the battlesuit’s back, but that was only after it had leapt into the air with a WAAAGH and landed directly on top of the guardsmen, chopping and blasting those it didn’t immediately crush underfoot. Skald was so flabbergasted that he didn’t even know how to respond when the swarm of drones came to back up the battlesuit, gun drones providing covering fire and shield drones protecting the battlesuit from incoming fire, all of which seemed to be led by a squig riding one of the drones. He was so paralyzed by shock that he didn’t even object when one of the drones took Skald’s burna out of his hands with its servo arms and, after giving it a quick once over, handed it back, good as new. Shortly after that, the guardsmen lines broke and the kommandos had disabled the anti-air guns, granting Boris his entrance. Once Boris made his appearance, the battle did not last long.

In the aftermath of the fight, all of the Scraplootas were doing what they did best: lootin scrap. All except Skald. He wandered aimlessly through the Imperial ruins as his thoughts did the same in his head. Did that really happen? Was that tau real? Why did it save him? Did he imagine the whole thing? Just when he was about to write the whole thing off, he saw it again! The tau battlesuit! As fortune would have it, the suit’s hatch was just opening as Skald caught sight of it. With a loud hiss the chest of the suit folded down and revealed it’s a pilot – a tau! Well, half of one, at least.

A mass of cables and tubes were connected to the mature tau woman, leaving only her arms and torso free to grab the mugs of squig beer to drink or guns to fix that her entourage of drones presented her with, ausing only to affectionately scratch the head of the squig the hovered vigilantly beside her.

“Oiy!” Skald shouted at the nearest ork. “Since when does we fight wiff tau?”

“Tau? We aint fight wiff no tau.” The mohawked nob replied.

“Den what da zog is dat?!” Skald pointed an accusatory finger at the

“What da zog is dat? ‘What da zog is dat’ he says!” the nob laughed

Vaedrisa took off her glasses and pinched the bridge of her nose, massaging it in between her thumb and forefinger to ease her frustration. She was never going to get rid that damnable blueberry, was she?

“How long has it been now?” the Farseer muttered to no one in particular.

“Too long.” Her warlock, Zielt muttered back.

“How is this even possible?” she wondered aloud

“How is anything possible with that lot?” he sighed

“Perhaps it is related to the taint of the Warp due to her constant exposure to that daemon core…”

“I thought tau were resistant to the Warp”

“Or maybe it could have something to do with that WAAAGH field they had set up around the daemon core…”

“Or maybe it has something to do with you poking into the unfortunate child’s brain every few years.” Zielt quipped.

“Whatever that thing is, it can no longer be called just a child.” Much less unfortunate, Vaedrisa thought enviously to herself.

Before a full argument could break out the same as it always did, an eldar ranger entered the craftworld’s bridge.

“Ah, Xilloc, there you are.” Vaedrisa greeted him warmly, “I very much look forward to your status report.”

Xilloc shifted uncomfortably. “Well…”

“Well what? Out with it, already.” Vaedrisa had begun to lean forward in her chair, no doubt hoping for good news. Zielt almost envied her eternal optimism in times like this.

Xilloc took a deep breath. “No change.”

The Farseer paused for a few moments too long. “…What?”

“After three hundred and twelve years of the first observation of the tau child in the car, should one be able to call it such a thing, of the orks known as ‘Blue’, there is no major observable change. If anything, she appears to be getting younger.”

“Younger?!” Vaedrisa nearly lost her composure.

“Well, younger is not quite the right word for it.” Xilloc hastily corrected himself “It is more that she seems to be getting faster, tougher, and generally more youthful in demeanor as she, err, ‘ages’, if such a word is applicable to her. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was stronger too, much like other orks.”

“‘Other’ orks?” Vaedrisa cocked an eyebrow at the ranger, who could only remain speechless at his slip. “Anyways, you are absolutely sure of this information, Xilloc?”

“I would wager my soul on it.” Xilloc said with resolve and the slightest hint of pride.

“Very well then...” A smile slowly crept across the Farseer’s face as an idea rooted itself in her brain. “It seems we have no choice but to continue to follow the Scraplootas until we get to the bottom of this.”

“You cannot be serious!” Zielt objected.

“And why not?” Vaedrisa countered. “We are clearly dealing with something here that is quite possibly a phenomenon unique to the entire galaxy. Our mission has just become much more than following a slightly deviant band of orks and using them to our ends.”

Zielt groaned audibly. That damned blue child would outlive the whole crafteworld over, he was sure of it.

Blue raced down the halls of the Loot-havva. If she could hurry, she could make a few last minute bets before all the stalls closed down. There was going to be a race on the next planet they set down on, between leader biker nobs Rakktrakka and some young upstart named Skald. Even better, it was going to be DURING the fight. Blue had just spent all day tuning up Rakktrakka’s bike, so she knew that this Skald git wasn’t going to stand a chance against a former Green Mile race champion. Once the nob won, Blue would be sitting pretty on more teef than she knew what to do with AND she would get to watch a race while she fought! It was a truly great day to be an ork. Blue laughed to herself and sang the song that all orks know as she prepared for war, entertainment, and profit.

so we've got either

-upgrading into a nob
-the WAAAGH overtaking her

But how long till they typically get killed?

>>20966331
>how long is the typical life span of an ork anyway?
Nobody knows. Though it's assumed that their regenerative properties and quick healing time makes them unable to die of old age.
>They just keep living till they get killed, right?
Pretty much.

>But how long till they typically get killed?
Varies wildly... One thing to consider is that casualty rates for Orks in a warzone aren't actually that high. Indeed, one of their traits that makes them such a threat, is their resilience and aforementioned regenerative properties. And that their bodies will quickly accept replacement limbs/organs from "donors" who don't need theirs anymore. There's zero chance for organ/limb rejection for Orks provided it is an Ork limb/organ that is being attached to them. This means even in a full-scale Waaagh, the actual casualties inflicted upon the Ork horde is substantially less than one would think based upon 40k games or particularly Black Library's notorious disregard for non-marine related fluff.
>>
>>20966420
Well that confirms things I was already aware of at least (all the things I know about 40k are things I've read on /tg/), but I'm thinking more along the lines of average time till death for an ork.

Which would also relate to how often the Scraplootas take an active interest in recruiting new members (not just ones they pick up along the way).

And if orks are really that resilient, then a broken limb or two shouldn't cause them that much trouble (unless things work differently for grots since I'm thinking of a particular piece of writefaggory I read).

Probably because the first one was the more emotionally charged of the three. I don't like the thought of Blue dying, but I figured that's the way she would get sent off if she did. The other two were just the only two alternatives I could think of to the first story.

Sad ending is better. I have a soft spot for tragedy. Blue's story was a tragedy from the start, and it needs to continue that way! Doesn't mean we don't get loads of stories about her before the end!
>>
>>20968704
someone needs to come up with some kind of massive /tg/ 40k OC crossover event where the sheer improbability of all the things that happen in the ensuing fight breaks that quadrant of the 40k universe (you know it'd be the one the Scraplootas are in since it's like a dumping ground for the warp) spilling the board favorites into the other, alternate 40k settings where they break those too until they end up either back where they started or in the /tg/ board universe where they'd end up fighting all the other stuff the board makes that isn't 40k related.

I'd settle for smaller scale things though.

I'd actually like to see how Rosncranz and Gilnstrum would deal with Cultist-chan.

How so? Her story was always a goofy little comedic adventure. The only potential tragedy to the story of Blue is the seeming inevitability of its end, which can easily be subverted as I just showed.

And while I think the sad end was probably my best work of the three, I have a similar soft spot for the last one. I'm a sucker for high adventure stories that start how they end, with a band of crazy motherfuckers partying up for one hell of an adventure, whatever it may be. Pic rather related

Her origin story is a bit grimdark.
Orphaned from an early age, rumored to have a Fire Caste father and Earth Caste mother, bullied and beaten to the point where she lashed out in rage against her abusers and may or may not have killed one of them.

And then the Scraplootas landed on their planet and killed just about everything.
Except Blue.
And then they were goofy and comedic.
>>
>>20968761
nothing about it seems very tragic, if anything Blue was saved from tragedy.

She was a tau ostracized by her own kind just for being born as potentially mixed caste, her life was shit until she joined up with the Scraplootas.
It's the opposite of tragedy if you ask me since her entire life would've been shit in tau society.

This really makes Shas'El K'Lem P'rer's attempts to capture and reintegrate Blue all the more horrible. Because despite his best intentions, he's really trying to force Blue into a terrible life because he thinks it's "more right" and the "greater good."

And then she fit in like a charm.
And then she found the place in the galaxy where she belonged.
And then she discovered the family she was always denied by the Greater Good in the most unlikely of places.

Just because a story starts off dark doesn't make it a tragedy. Blue is like a reverse-Kafka with loads of hyperviolence.

Guys, it a tragedy in construction, not because its sad. I'm too tired to explain the difference between tragedy, the concept and tragedy, the literary construct.

That sounds like git talk.. ya git.
>>
>>20969107
If you're going to talk literature, she isn't predestined to a bad end like in Greek Tragedy, and she isn't brought down by her own flaws like in more contemporary tragedies. Unless you're talking about some other sort of tragedy, I think you're a right git.

ok.
>>
>>20968994
the road to hell is paved with good intentions and all.

Didn't he come to the misguided conclusion that Blue was enacting the greater good by converting orks?
As soon as he loses his position and the other guy steps up to it, either the Scraplootas are going to be seeing much more tau action or none at all.

>>20969009 me again
thinking about it again, this would make a good Halloween fic.
They have to fight Boris' body for control from the demon core while the warp horrors start an all out war inside the Loot Hava'.
>>
>>20969280

Orks can't suffer bad ends. Chaos worshippers are too insane to comprehend the concept of bad end. Necrons are a bad end. Imperial aggri worlds are fairly peaceful and quaint if they are out of the way. 40k has nice bits. They are just either non standard or not brought up, because PeacePloughshare 40k doesn't sell minis. Nice to explore what exists of it though
>>
>>20969322
Thats what I like most about the Scraplootas. Sure, they're vicious, murderous psychopaths down to the last adorable little tau girl, but they're happy. Gork damn are they happy. You don't get that too much in 40K.
>>
I have to wonder, if they really did survive for 300 years just how big must the original members who are still alive be?

the squishy bits of Boris have probably grown so big that even if he wanted to leave the control room he wouldn't be able to fit through the door.
>>
>>20970025
Does Boris grow bigger if he is not actually physically exerting himself?
>>
>>20970077
I think it works like adrenaline, you don't actually have to do any physical work for it to kick in.

With orks I think it's the more orks that respect an ork, the bigger that ork gets.
It's psychological/mental thing that makes the growth hormone get secreted.
>>
Wait, forgefiends are the shooty of the dinobots right?

I figure daemon engine looting is ni harder than looting a chaos Titan, particalury if you have a chaos Titan to beat it into shape.
>>
>>20970310
I doubt they would actually loot a daemon engine. But if they did, it would probably have WAAAsquigs welded to it willy-nilly
>>
>>20970372
it does actually. Its how they keep it contained(somewhat).

Looting a daemon engine would likely, as i see orks, be removing the unnaturaly reslilient armour and cannibalising its warp forged bits, or potentially using it's daemonic core/innards (If it's not a bound daemon and some other kind of daemonic power source dickery) to make a particularly tentacular killa kan/deff dred. I postulated the daemonic core/weird squig thing initially in the idea phase, i am going to continue this train of thought of using weirdsquigs across the board as a daemonic leash so to speak, soaking up enough of their power to keep them relatively quiet or my personal preference, tazing the fucker with WAAAGH! much to the entities chargrin. Course we could just go the normal route chaos goes through in keeping the engines quiet. Browbeat them into submission and chain them to a bigass pillar.
>>
Bumpan for great justice
>>
>>20970658
Well yeah, they could always tear it down, but I meant repurposing it the way they did Boris. I dont see that happening any time soon, seeing as daemon engines are essentially angry abused metal animals.
>>
>>20971084

Unlikely. Stabbing electrodes into somethings head and attaching it to a cab probably only works on organic things, like nids. But i do believe they would be ownable in the same way you lock a rabid dog in a box and open it with the door pointed at the things you want to stop having a good day. Juggernauts of khorne can be conquered by defeating it, they have about the same temperment of the average squig, those fuckers are perfect for an enterprising and vicious ork warlord.
>>
>>20970631

Right in the feels...
>>
Morning bump
>>
The stories were grand.
>>
I figure if you weld enough WAAAGH squigs to anything chaos-y, you just stop hearing it scream and can generally force it into doing what you want.

how they absorb chaos taint is a mystery to me though.
>>
>>20973627
I kind of like it being a unique solution to the chaos titan. The less formulaic Scaploota “tech” is the better in my opinion.
>>
>>20974768
if they can keep the demon core from making heads explode using the WAAAGH squigs, what's stopping them from also negating other warp related shit?
>>
OP, fuck you for writing a sad story.

Now I'm sad.

>>20975148
moar dakka and choppas.
>>
>>20975333
yeah, WAAAGH squigs could do with more dakka.
>>
>>20975148

Not enough surface area to put them in. And you can't go inside a daemon engine and wield things inside it.

>someone needs to come up with some kind of massive /tg/ 40k OC crossover event

I know I'm late here, but this sounds fucking awesome. Why has it never happened before?
>>
>>20969009
>They'd all be bored as hell wishing for something to happen and then the walls all start screaming and the demon heart starts laughing...

I'm sure there was something written near the beginning about one of the Scraplootas in charge stopping the chaos taint from spreading. He would tackle the screaming walls by just screaming back at them until they shut up.
>>
>>20975392
takes time and at least one very dedicated person.

it took /co/ a few years to do one with all their OCs.
http://psuedofolio.tumblr.com/post/32470677009
>>
>>20975412
except this time the screaming is coming from ALL the walls (not just the ones inside of Boris) and not caused by the demon core since they'd be in the warp at the time.

A full blown WAAAGH would happen inside the Loot Hava' to get things back to being proppa orky and not all monsters coming from all sides-y.
>>
>>20970025
I'd assume in Boris' case, since he believes he IS the Titan, it doesn't have the same effect.
>>
>>20975444
mite b cool then.

Though it's definitely a fact that the scraplootas aren't proppa orky themselves, so maybe it wouldn't bother them too much.
>>
>>20975485
warp horrors would still be a fun way to kill time while traveling to their next battle.

after they've krumped them, some of them could be turned into beasts of burden or mounts.

>>20975466
we'll probably never know.
>>
>>20968761
This is something I quite liked (for lack of a better way to put it) as well.

Blue's very existence is sad. Because you're forever aware that she's going to die, when none of the others are (of natural causes, at least).

They treat her in a fatherly way, so they'll feel the pain that a family who loses a child feels. For all the wacky and fun adventures that they have along the time, there's still a countdown on it, it's not going to be there forever. Sort of like normal life, but exaggerated, as if Blue has a terminal illness.

And that's not even getting into how grimdark her backstory is. For a seemingly lightweight and jolly character, it's all pretty depressing.

It makes me sad that people often forget some of the most unusual Scraplootas characters, like Fizzguts.

Blue dies - Realistic ending

Blue becomes Orky Dreadnought - Entertaining, but unlikely given Ork tech (if they could do it, they'd have done it long before now)

Blue doesn't die because of WAAAGH - Basically the /tg/ ending, and probably the one which will be most widely accepted.

I liked all of them.

>>20976049
What time is Grot Quest? I've been looking forward to it, it'll be the first time I've had a chance to get involved.

Also, the Scraplootas really are cemented as /tg/ canon now, aren't they? I guess my silly little post about Orks getting given a Tau wasn't so silly, as it spawned a lot of stuff.

I'm not taking credit for anything, you guys did all the hard work, it's just amazing seeing how an idea can snowball.

I don't keep up with Xeno Quest, so I have no idea what might've happened between them.

it takes /co/ forever to get organized, but Premier Pulp! is probably the best example of comics to come from of /co/'s efforts.

But it's never easy making a comic for a character or setting that the board collaborated on making, those almost never happen.
Too many conflicting view points: in-board universe canon vs out-board universe canon, poor communication on updates to established character traits/skills/abilities, etc.

and as far as Scraploota comics go, we've got this and the next page which I'm feeling too lazy to post.

I'll post it for you.

>>20976207
Yes, that's the idea. The Funnstikk thing, while amusing, got a bit tired. Personally, I'm really glad Blue never had porn made of her. She's more like a family member than a waifu, to me at least. Adorable, but in a loving way.

there hasn't been any drawfaggry r34 about Blue, but there's been writefaggory which probably counts.

Writefaggotry doesn't count. Only drawn porn counts, and there's none of that. Which is for the best.

Honestly, I like having a female character that is nice looking but doesn't just get treated as a sex object for porn and stuff. She's got too much character for that.

>it is well-known that orkfags are afraid of liking things genuinely, that's why they stick to the least serious faction of 40k, so that if they get accused of liking 40k, they can backpedal and pretend to like it ironically.
Wat the fuck? Ork fans (not the 'hurr I build Nob Bike army because it'd be nice to have an Ork army' faggots) are the most dedicated mother fuckers of all of 40k's fanbases. You don't suddenly decide you're an ork player, you realize you always were to begin with and you never go back to anything else. Ork fans have to endure the largest pile of shit from not only non-40k players, but also from 40k players of other factions due to GW's constant bashing of the army.

Seriously, you're on fucking crack if you think Ork-fans are afraid of liking things genuinely. They're the last bastion of good, decent, dedicated hobbyists within 40k.

True. I guess I'm weird, but I've always viewed the idea of a "waifu" as someone adorable you want to love and be affectionate with, but a lot of other people seem to think want to stick their dick into them. So I don't know. Maybe I'm just not manly enough.
>>
>>20989241

Clearly you are not the alpha /tg/ master race.

Because people who play with orks and have a fictional waifu are powerful male figures.

I fucking love my orks.

blame the creepy transgender stuff on the creepy parts of the fanbases on /co/.

I'm just saying, if you want more art, you have to be willing to ask people for it.

Shit, I knew I wasn't as alpha as most of /tg/. It'll take a while to come to terms with that. And yes, Orks are great.

>>20989279
Out of curiosity, how much does it cost to commission a few pages of comic strip, if you provide the idea and the writing?
>>
>>20989313
Usually, most drawfags take around 20$.
depends on the quality you're asking for, of course.
>>
>>20989332
True. I suppose it's a matter of finding a drawfag who suits the style as well, ones that are good at 40k/Orks instead of one good at cartoons or something.

I'd honestly consider doing that, just to see what it would be like. I have no idea how to write for a comic book though, and I'd not be sure what story to write anyway.
>>
>>20989349
the current Ork design was majorly set by a British comics illustrator. So, if you can go cartoonish, you can probably go orks, and vice-versa.

Just gonna drop my DA page here in case someone is interested and rich enough:
http://technorakel.deviantart.com/

But yeah, the major thing about comics is making things understandable and elegant. Panelling and all that.
>>
>>20989313
anywhere from free to $150 I've seen.

Kiarou is a pretty good person to ask for a few comic pages (going rates per page are less than $50 I think, probably less than that).
Only have his dA page though http://kiarou.deviantart.com/
>>
Suppose I decided I have a bit too much disposable income this month and went ahead and ordered 4 pages of comic strip.

What would the plot even be? I'm good with ideas, but for actual prose I'm a bit too formulaic. I wrote this little thing about Blue visiting the inside of Boris a while ago, but I don't think it was very good.

I suppose I could finish that story, if there's demand for it. I just churned it out on a bored afternoon a while ago. I had some ideas for the 60 second market and other areas, plus with Grotquest happening it adds a bit of coherence. And the map, that helps.
>>
>>20989476
It would be really hard to adapt accurately into less than 4 pages, so far.
>>
>>20989602
I like it, serves as more set up of how Blue got so well respected/known no to be trifled with by the other grots.

Grot Quest is doing a good job of working out how the areas inside of Boris function.
We've already explored Grots-for-hire, Piston Plaza, Scrunky's Steelworks, the engine room, Neezmor Guns, the 60 Second Market, and Toofy's Casino and Squig Grill.

Your story is already up in the head (and takes place much earlier than Grot Quest timeline wise) so there's no conflicting stories.

>Blue couldn’t work out why anyone would paint something that wasn’t armour or tech.
For fuck's sake, Grotz are known to be artists, it shouldn't come as a surprise to her.

Only the Earth-Caste, which should be known as the Waifu-Caste at this rate.

we talk a lot about how the Scraploota stories work more like how a Saturday morning cartoon would, but how would a first episode go?
Would it just pick up after they've looted the titan and go from there, or would it pick up after the whole cast is already assembled and just show how they got where they are via flashbacks?

>>20989796
I was thinking about that one too.

As a cartoon, it would probably just start off with the premise already underway. Maybe pull a Samurai Jack and have a premiere movie that is basically those two writefag stories about where Urtylug mulls over what to do with his newly looted titan and the finding of Blue.

I don't think those two pieces would work together as a movie, there's a pretty big chunk missing between them, with the whole revenge on that Wych Cult and all.

there's also an intermission chunk missing (time skip) at the end of Blue's introduction where she meets Mr. Squig.

So what would a Fire caste father and Earth caste mother mean?

Also, I wonder if it would be worth writing a story of Blue when she was still very young, before she got picked up by the Scraplootas.

For some reason I think it would be very sad.

At this stage I think we've concluded that everything about Blue is pretty sad.

The Scraplootas are still upbeat and fun though.

Fanfic thread? Great!

As soon as he heard one of his comrades scream “SQUAD BROKEN!", Eduardo the Space Marine knew that he was doomed. He charged forth in a panic, firing his plasma gun wildly into the air. Somehow the orks had surrounded them! Eduardo’s teammates ran shrieking into the depths of the abandoned tanker, the grunting lustful orks in swift pursuit. Soon Eduardo was alone.
The brawny Space Marine collapsed against a wall, panting raggedly. His plasma gun had nearly overheated, and his com units were malfunctioning. No use even if they worked. By now, his whole squad was surely dead.
Lost in his thoughts, Eduardo did not hear the ork creeping up on him. Stunned by a blow to the head, Eduardo was thrown violently to the floor. The ork grunted in amusement, bending down and straddling his body. Dazed, Eduardo turned his head to look up at his enemy. The ork fellow was huge, well muscled and even attractive for his species. Right now the ork’s vibrant green skin was flushing dark in arousal. Eduardo whimpered as he realized what was about to happen.
Summoning up his powers as a Blood Angel, Eduardo bellowed in the Black Rage and began to flail about under the ork. The ork simply grunting, riding the panicked Space Marine like a rodeo bull. Already weakened, Eduardo simply did not have the strength to dislodge the much heavier ork.
>>
>>20990687
All that thrashing around served to arouse the ork further. His name was Gurk, and the friction as the puny Marine flopped around between his muscular thighs was giving him quite a respectable hard-on. Gurk had meant to save the Marine for his own squad, but he couldn’t wait any longer. Whipping out his own plasma gun, Gurk seared off the back of the Marine’s armor, leaving his shining buttocks bare to the ork’s lustful gaze.
Eduardo moaned in fear, his virgin asscheeks clapping firmly together to deny the ork entrance. Gurk simply laughed, ripping off his crude orkish loincloth to reveal a thick green meat pole, nearly 12 inches long. The ork stuck one calloused finger down his throat, bringing up a thick vomit slurry which spattered down into the crack of Eduardo’s ass. Smearing the foul vomit around with one brutish paw, Gurk prepared the Space Marine’s tender anus for playtime.
Much to Gurk’s frustration, his cock was simply too large to fit inside Eduardo’s tight man cunt. He grunted furiously, screaming “WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!" in his deep orkish voice as he battered his fuckmeat against Eduardo’s tightly sealed pleasure ring. Suddenly the Space Marine’s portal gave way, and the swollen head of Gurk’s cock popped through into the forbidden halls of his anus. Gurk’s pleased snort was drowned out by Eduardo’s scream of agony.
The ork began to pump away in earnest, his bulging muscular hips and thighs slamming brutally against Eduardo’s ass. His heavy, furry balls slapped against the human’s ass merrily, creating a calypso that pleased Gurk mightily. Blood, a thin smear of feces, and Gurk’s own oily yellow pre-cum lubricated Eduardo’s asshole until it was as hot and slippery as Gurk’s own mother’s cunt.
>>
>>20990691
Poor Eduardo was swiftly going into shock from the pain. His mind growing dim, he screamed “SQUAD BROKEN! SQUAD BROKEN!" over and over as the ork thrust brutally into his bruised insides. The ork’s massive cock had caused a large degree of internal damage, and Eduardo was close to passing out from blood loss and fear. If his squad didn’t find him soon, Eduardo knew that he would soon die. His poor plasma gun discharged into the floor one final time, overheating from a mix of pleasure and agonizing pain.
The Space Marine had been a good fuck for Gurk, but he needed something special to truly finish. Gurk’s heavy balls drew up close to his body, and he felt himself tensing, about to cum. As Gurk’s thick semen roiled up out of his cock and into Eduardo’s battered body, the ork slammed his powerful hands shut around the Marine’s neck. With a vicious jerk up and back, the ork crushed the Marine’s windpipe and vertebrae, swiftly ending his life. Eduardo’s anus clamped shut around Gurk’s cock, the painful tightness almost causing the ork to pass out.
Gurk roared out as he climaxed in the dead Marine, his beautiful green cock pumping load after load of thick ork jizzum into Eduardo’s lower intestine. The ork pulled out as Eduardo’s anus slowly relaxed, releasing Gurk’s cock with a wet sucking sound. Gurk used the sleeve of the Marine’s uniform to wipe the thick scum of blood, shit and cum from his swiftly withering ork meat. With a satisfied grunt, Gurk walked slowly away from the Marine.
Eduardo’s corpse lay cooling on the floor of the tanker, the charred remnants of his uniform stained dark with the foul fluids of both the ork and himself.
Squad broken.

Though I wrote a good chunk of it, so I'm fairly biased.

I don't think any of The Grot stories or the Gitsticha stories are collected/organized anywhere either.
>>
>>20992615
I guess I'll put my trip on again for this.

I wrote two short stories that centered around The Grot right after I wrote the second Rosncranz and Gilnstrum fic. They were never pastebinned and I don't think the thread was archived. I'll have to check my other computer to see if they're saved there. Otherwise, it's possible they are lost forever.

I also started and never finished a Gitsticha fic. I don't remember if any other Gitsticha fics were posted. He was just kind of designed and that design never quite went anywhere.
>>
>>20992774
the Gitsticha fic that I remember reading involved The Grot bringing a grot to him with both his arms broken that needed setting.
I remember that fic being finished when the Dok's work was done and he decided to go talk to the demon core since that always gets him in a better mood.

Even if they're not archived on suptg, they'd be on archivefoolz.

Or the one where a new boy was asking too many questions about the innards of the titan and gets his brain cleaned and his teef pulled?

I wrote the former, and it should be archived somewhere, I don't have the original .txt file anymore.

The Grot is such a cool character.

thanks.

the easiest way to have a crossover where they're co-starring is to have the Scraplootas hired to deal with a scarab swarm that got out of Xeno's control.
>>
>>20999902
>Scraplootas hired to deal with a scarab swarm
How would they actually deal with it though?

Get Boris to stomp em?
>>
>>20999924
>>20999902
The Scraplootas being hired by a certain unconventional necron lord to handle a Chaos incursion on her tomb world would make more sense if you ask me.
>>
>>20999948
according to her twitter, she got rid of the daemons and is trying to put cultist-chan in a pokeball.
>>
>>20999924
I don't know too much about necron stuff, but I know scarabs are machines.
They'd be up against orks, orks have the strength to take them down I'd imagine, plus these are sneaky orks that like to loot while they fight. I can see them making messed up scarabs out of the ones they break to fight the other scarabs.

If orks can survive head transplants I don't think any of them will get shackled.

and if that doesn't work, Boris can just breath fire on them.
>>
>>21000020
>If orks can survive head transplants I don't think any of them will get shackled.
that's a fallacy
>I know scarabs are machines.
matter/energy conversion reactors. They can decompose any matter into raw energy, and use it to create even more scarabs. Usually quicker than you can kill them. Replicators, if you prefer.
>>
>>21000041

So, from what you're saying, scarabs are made from pure energy? Right. Yep. Sure.
>>
>>21000112
No, they aren't. They stock energy harvested from any source.
But they could be. Solid holograms are a thing necrons do.

everything about orks with a looted chaos titan fighting a scarab swarm is a fallacy.

it's a quadruple fallacy if you count Blue and Xeno in the mess it'd be.

does Xeno break it? she's a necron'd out tau which is something that I don't think is supposed to be possible.
>>
>>21001239
Actually it is. Necrons have the technology to turn other species into necrons
they also have nanotechnology
they also are eccentric to the point of stupidity.

So, Xeno is pretty damn likely to happen at one point.
>>
>>21001264

That makes me wonder, would they not have loads of bounty hunters after them?

they've looted every bounty hunter dumb enough to try, which are mostly other ork tribes.

Some ork tribe hunted them. Snekkit blew them up.

They also probably get hired as much as they get hunted on top of that.

>They also probably get hired as much as they get hunted on top of that.

Makes sense. Why kill them off when you could use them.
>>
>>21001687
of course there's always the possibility they'll betray their employer.

I think the only time that's happened so far is when chaos tried to hire them, but they krumped chaos anyway.

how would Blue go about using Necron tech anyway?

Does necron tech even work for other races?

Nothing really to loot. Bugs would be more trouble than their worth to keep around and would probably end up krumped. Maybe Blue would somehow brainwash a Ripper to follow her around like Mr. Squig, but any more than that would just be a hassle.

They would only have to ask and Vaedrisa would give them whatever they wanted.

they're worth more because they're just bigger is what I gather.
