I've been wanting to read an Ork POV novel in forever, but they never seemed to exist. The Orks (who as a teenager into the hobby were my favourite faction) are the only folks in the 40k universe who seem to be genuinely having a good time. All they want to do is fight, which is great as there's non-stop fighting to be had in such a crapsack universe. So I was very pleased to discover this book and bought it pretty fast. It was also cool that the Orks faced off against the Adeptus Mechanicus her...

Brutal Kunnin’ is great.The first Ork-led BL novel has an awful lot going for it. The protagonist, Ufthak, was introduced in an earlier incredibly enjoyable short and this continues his journey as his Waaagh rampages across a Forgeworld. It’s a pretty short book, and is pacy as anything. Brooks handles writing from an Ork perspective fantastically; we see through Ufthak’s eyes, encounter his thoughts and manage to relate to his desires. When he is the focus, Imperial Knights are humie walkers, a...

The greatest Book in the WorldThere never has been a more honest, visceral, raw and hilarious look into the Grim Darkness of the Far Future. Even though near the end of the second act the orks take a back seat, it all pays off when we return to them. These comedic menaces are fantastic, just as Mork and Gork intended. Princess is the loyal puppy we all want, and Mitranda is a ruthless tactical, yet humane character for all their upgrades.I also like that they avoid using the weird 'vis' pronoun

An absolutely brilliant novel and one of the funniest reads this year! Following both an Ork protagonist as well as Ad Mech characters it gives a cool contrast and ensures it doesn't get too stale. The Ork parts of the story are the standouts though, proper orky feeling while being funny and slapstick, but not in a silly way. It's refreshing compared to the usual overly serious Space Marine 40k novels.As a sidenote, I went in thinking it would potentially get confusing with the use of genderless...

The writing is very confusing. If english is not your native language you probably will get lost in this authors use of them their for individuals. Ork parts good but the mechanicus parts are madly confusing, you dont know if its an idividual or a group of mechanicus creations.

Mike Brooks needs to write more ork books.

A full length followup to the short Where Dere’s da Warp Dere’s a Way, this one follows the story of a WAAAGH! way to loot the shiniest, most technological gear they can find.This story shows the fight from both sides, and it does a good job of showing the contrasting views. For the orks, it's humorous. They're having fun and getting into shenanigans as they butcher their way through the defenders. On the other side, you have a palpable sense of the desperation and hopelessness of the AdMech as

If this was book was purely from the Orks perspective this would of been a 5 star book but it wasn't and the techno-priest portions were considerably weaker. It was still a fun, silly book and it give the orks their due. Fun stuff, it doesnt take itself too serious and its nowhere near as grim and/or dark as other books in the universe. If you want some fun in your Warhammer 40k this is for you.

5/5 would Waaaaagh again.

The chapters written from an ork perspective are amazing fun, a real laugh. The mechanicus parts (and the is too many of those) are contrastingly dull and utterly boring. And then there is a third party with a sub-plot and.....well, never mind. It could have been a great Read. Now I would advice to just read the ork bits and skip the rest.

What a phenomenal piece of literature. Seriously, if you only read one Black Library book this year, make it this one. Mike Brooks nails the tone of an orks novel PERFECTLY. Not only that, the decision to match the wacky antics of the orks with the dry with of Adeptus Mechanicus antagonists is just masterful. It lets him go full tilt with both factions, without overwhelming a reader with an overabundance of narrative shtick from either side. It's the perfect blend of opposite flavors.

A rollicking, whimsical book or Warhammer 40,000 where everyone seems to be having more fun than usual.Following "Where Deres Da Warp Deres Da Way" the Orks land on a Cult Machanicus world and battle the imperial, and hidden, forces within.Orks have always been the "fun" race in Warhammer and Mike Brooks writes orks so well. The characters have huge enthusiasm, laugh when it all goes wrong, but stay grounded and feeling real. No magic moments just because they believe it will work here. The Cult...

The Orky sections of this book are fairly enjoyable but the human aspects are quite muddled. This is primarily due to the author continuing to use genderless pronouns for his human characters and it is annoying and muddling to read. Overall this book is fairly forgettable despite the fun to be found with Orks.

Grim Dark Future? Not with these orcs it isn’t, this book is funny, very funny, I listened to it on audible and the narration was superb and brought the characters to life in a way that swept me along and had me rooting for the orcs instead of the imperium 😳

Dis iz a story about wun uv 'da most brutal an’ kunnin' orks, Ufthak Blackhawk! afta land'n on a planet 'e an’ his Boyz make a bet wit' dat git Capt. Badrukk ta see 'oo kan get 'da most shiny bitz an’ kill 'da most 'umiez. deres alos a story about some weird beakiez 'dat don't know how ta fight propa but 'dat's bor'nseriously though this is probably one of the best 40k books I've done, it's not only funny but brutal and action packed as you'd expect in 40k.

Great book, one of the funniest and engaging Warhammer novels I've read. Ignore the whiners about pronouns, Mike Brooks writes clearly and the inclusivity is important.

An excellent book full of Orkish mayhem and Adeptus Mechanicus adventures, couldn't put it down and ripped through it in a day.

Ufthak Blackhawk and da boys drop themselves on Hephaesto looking da best loot. They are Bad Moons under the leadership of Da Biggest Big Mek after all, and only the best gear will do. And isn't all da bestest humie loot on a forge world? We follow Ufthak's ascending star through his wacky adventures, involving Freebootaz, Mechanicum adepts and others. While often taking a look behind the curtains and discover how his krumpin partners feels about their interactions.Honestly, I don't quite know h...

Zoggin good fun

It’s a novel about Orks invading a forge world with the name of Hephaesto.Surprisingly fun book, with lots of action. The main draw in this book is that there is finally a Ork point of view. Ufthak Blackhawk of the Bad Moons clan (the Ork) is both hilarious, cunning, and brutal. There is also a Adeptus Mechanicus story and some Chaos characters, which are fine, but the Orks are the most interesting in my opinion. You don’t have to know anything about Warhammer 40K to like this, but it helps. Hop...
