>A gathering of Orks generates a psychic field known as the Waaagh!, which allows Orks to instinctively recognize who is "bigga" and therefore in charge.
Human technology can replicate, alter or amplify psychic ability in 40K, is it not possible to artificially generate a massive "Waaaagh" and get a bunch of greenskins to do the Emperor's bidding?

This may or may not be going into a campaign I am running

Pretty sure the old ones attempted this during the war on heaven and couldn't find or lost their off switch.
The Orks may have simply "believed" out of being controlled. Their ability can alter the very fabric of reality, so any control of them would be temporary and temperamental at best

>>51937435
There was a series of threads about this - a cohort of Orks pretending to be Space Marines. They fought against Chaos and Tyranids and so on, and eventually made it to Holy Terra to meet the Emperor

Deff Wotch.

Give it a read, it's a hilarious storytime.

Why did the kommandos never paint their cardboard boxes purple, though?
>>
>>51937435
It wouldn't be so much "doing the emperor's bidding" and more like "pointing the WAAAAAGH at a cluster of stars and let them be orks."

And seeing as the ork force would have to be more powerful than the problem they were meant to "solve" you kind of just made things worse for yourself.

Of course that doesn't mean someone wouldn't be deluded enough to think it as a good idea if they could figure out how to do it. As for wether or nit it is possible, psychic powers are literally magic, anything's possible if you want it to be, it just depends on how you think your players would react.

No.

Because it was a metal gear solid reference.
>>
>>51941078
Because it's a meme with no basis in actual lore.

Being sneaky is un-orky so no sneaky colour exists in the collective Ork phyche, instead kommandos will use soot on reflective surfaces, mud on skin, stick to cover and other shit that works without needing a shitload of boys nearby to see it happen.

Hardly. They just need to put a big enough dent in for imperials to mop up after.

>>51937790
I thought the old ones died before they could use the off switch, not that there wasn't one.
>>
>>51939523
Ah crap, could you spoil it for me - what happened at Terra when they met Emps?
>>
>>51937435
what comes next? The ork waagh field is actually what keeps the emeperor alive since they constantly fight people screaming his name?
>>
>>51937435
They could, maybe, but that's about as heretical as you can get without Chaos being involved
>>
>>51937435
Look you must understand that out of an orks perspective.
Can you make them believe that the emperor is the biggest and therefore in charge? Probably.
But an ork Waaahg Chief that does not appear on the battlefield and does not fight like all the other Orks do does not get to be in charge for very long. Also in Ork hierarchy an attempt to seize power by an upstarting Ork can come at any time. Also any Ork that suddenly stops believing in Gork and Mork will get crushed by his companions anyway.
>>
Orks don't just believe in a bigga out there. They have to see whose bigga in person, and then they fall in line, feeling the Waaagh! and seeing their new boss. And then comes the fact that Orks will pop up to challenge their new boss, and if the Emperor doesn't fight them, other Orks will lose faith that their boss aint fighting his own fights.

Also the fact that a more powerful Waaagh! field gathers Orks to fight, not just work together
>>
>>51937435
The Waaagh! can't be replicated. It's not just a psychic ability, it's genetic to the Orks, intrinsic to their selves. It's such a sensitive thing that anything "un-Orky" influencing the Waaagh! gets found out and dealt with. Not to mention, the Imperium has studied the Waaagh!, and they have no fucking idea how it works, so theres no way they are going to tune into the Waaagh! and generate a stronger Waaagh! artificially with MAJOR tech innovations.
