->Here's a story for you, maybe help you understand. [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Orks]] got a hierarchy, like us, but it's not about what medals you got or how many stripes're on your shoulder. It's about the size of your tusks and how many other greens you can kick to crap. First firefight I was ever in, we saw this deformed bugger down in their trench. Nothing major: half his face had no skin, so his skull's showing through. We often saw him, so we called him Boneyface.\\\

Boneyface, shouting and yelling - but now he's [[LargeAndInCharge bloody huge.]] Like, extra body mass, darker skin, bloody great tusks. That's the orks all over, see? They don't need intellect: when they do well their bodies reward them, bulking them up, filling them out. Like a promotion. And when they don't do well, they're dead.
