Well, its been a long time since I took a basic science that covered something like this, but the important thing is that now I know where it comes from. All knowledge is good!

It seems to me that building up enough power for a Zapp Gun might be hard using steam power...   I'm also wondering whether the Orks are using polluting steam technology or nonpolluting...

No self respecting Ork would recycle... Primarch. _________________ Primarch The Primarchload Magnetized Titans Tutorial Net Epic Gold Heresy Rules

Jimbo and Primarch, I don't think Orks would be "Earth" friendly, they like killing and Squig beer, that's it!   I think that underneath the new fluff that the Orks are a "fungal" life form is some neat fluff with some interesting ramifications. Such as the Orks have their own self-contained TRAVELING ecosystem. This can effectively mean that Orks slowly coopt and transform other environments into their ideal environment. It's Terraforming (Maybe Orkiforming or K'rorkiforming?) without any effort. Think about it! If Orks need a damp turgid place to grow mew Orks, what place could be better than a junkyard or a battlefield littered with the wrecks and carcasses of the slain and destroyed? Gorka-Morka, anyone? No self-respecting Ork would recycle...

They may not conscientiously recycle, but I think they do it out of habit and instinct. Between Squigs, which eat practically anything and Orks, which aren't much pickier (the green skin is chlorform, right?), Orks can make any environment their own.

Thoughts of how the ecosystem could hypothetically work are fascinating. A small closed but self-containing ecosystem could be a mean invention.

In many regards, the Orks are much more impressive than the Tyranids.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
