Warhammer 40k - Orks: Lootas
Orks are an extremely aggressive, crude and war-loving race or green-skinned Xenos. Each Ork is a huge hulking creature that stands a full head an shoulders above standard humans, their bodies are incredibly tough and muscular, able to withstand wounds that would fell a lesser being including losing limbs!
Thriving on chaos and conflict they will fight any and all challengers who stand before them, this could be the Space Marines, T'au empire, Eldar or most commonly other Ork clans. Orks are one of the most numerous races in the entire galaxy, it is possible that they even outnumber most of the other races combined. It is theorised that should the Orks stop fighting each other and unite, they would undoubtedly crush all opposition.
There are multiple types of Orks most of which are referred to as Boyz, Boyz are the most common form of Ork, although there are still many different types of sub-group that vary depending on status and equipment. The Larger and more aggressive Orks are referred to as Nobz, they act as squad leaders or fight together in their own mobs. Nobz have access to the best equipment, weapons and armour. The biggest and strongest Ork in any clan is the Warboss, which considering how deadly all Orks are it shows how cunning and ruthless they truly are. Warboss always have the best armour, weapons, and equipment.
Ork Lootas use whatever they can 'loot' from the battlefield to build the biggest, baddest and loudest guns their crude Orky minds can imagine. Deffguns are called Deffguns because they bring 'death' in a hail of lead while making the Ork firing the gun 'deaf' at the same time thanks to the thunderous noise!
Ork Burnas on the other hand, are a bunch of pyromaniacs! All Orks like fire, but Burnas love getting up close and watching their enemies "Do the burny dance". They can also switch their Burnas to a blue cutting flame. Off the battlefield, these are used for cutting up wrecked vehicles into salvageable scrap, but in the heat of battle a Burna Boy can use his Burna to cut through thick enemy armour with ease.
