The Black Messiah
Just a question that's been giving my friends and I a lot of conversation recently:
All ork are a little psychic, and thanks to the power of the warrgh that power makes what orks believe come true eg: their gun
will fire, or da red ones
will go faster!
So, the question is: What would happen if imperials captured a group of orks and managed to convince them that say, all orks are really badgers? Or something like that.
Thought and ideas?
The Power of the WAAGH is not Clap Your Hands If You Believe. It keeps things working better and longer than they should, but guns still need bullets and trigger assemblies, Trukks need fuel and working combustion engines, etc.
What it does is let that Trukk whose transmission should have annihilated itself 20 miles ago keep running, and lets the gun that should barely fire a round keep going for another hundred. Ork tech is always on the bleeding edge of ceasing to work, and the WAAGH keeps it going - they can't use a pipe to fire bullets if convinced it is a gun - it still need bullets and a mechanism to fire it.
So as to your question - double no, because 1st, the latent psychic potential of the WAAGH is not powerful enough to do that. And 2nd, Orks instinctively know what is Orky - efforts to re-educate them regarding knowledge of what an ork is would be futile.
