Corrections: In the second half we said that Gretchin/Snotlings can grow into Orkz. They can't. Whoops!
This week on the Lore Axe we continue our journey into the universe of Warhammer 40,000 and explore two of its oldest factions: the Eldar and the Orkz. Conceived as two enemies to the human Imperium, these races have undergone a fair amount of changes over the past decades.
As always, we'll pick apart the reasons for their creation, the evolution of their backstories, and talk about why Orkz are one of the few things keeping 40k fun.
