Casey G. Pretty much. I can't remember if they think they're orks, or if they just revere orks and try to be like them because they live on an ork-dominated planet.
With all their catch phrases, branded look, and rampant enthusiasm, they seemed like a highly motivational group. I expect they'll release a book on tape series soon.

ReplyDeleteIf only their vehicles were painted red...

ReplyDeleteOh good I didn't see this post originally but I'm glad someone else had the same exact thoughts as me.
ReplyDeleteYou can't tell me that having custom war trophy steering wheels isn't the orkiest thing ever put in a movie.
