mekboys build the stuff and maintain to it to a much greater degree. All orks have the knowledge, it's just mekboys can utilise that to build gargants, etc. Ork clans have slight differences: the bad moonz, for example, have faster growing teef, so they're richer than other orks. The blood axes are all sneaky-like, so they've got a much higher proportion of kommandos.

Its not a clan that would land, but a warband. A Waaaagh! would be too large.

Its also important to rememberr that orks sort of have circular logic in their toughness (tuffness). A strong ork is bigger than other boys, so he rises to prominence. As he's risen to prominence, he'll get bigger and stronger. The ork belief in their gods, Gork and Mork, literally created them and they are now the two strongest gods in the WH40k setting. In the fluff, the Imperium diverted the Tyranid fleet leviathan into the ork empire of octavius. As a consequence of such heavy, constant fighting, the orks have gone much larger and stronger and the tyranids are evolving new, more deadly combat forms based on ork dna.

Orks grow very quickly from spores. Orks eat mainly squigs, which also grow from spores, though they also photosynthesise and can eat other things. The spores are released on death and may lie in the ground for years. You know what, here: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Orkoid_physiology

You wake up or, perhaps, you don't. Your body is blurry and indistinct. All around you appear to be giant shards of broken glass floating in a blue void. The sight is surreal - and also quitwe beautiful. You are upon one such shard now.  A voice whispers from nowhere: "You're awake at last. Well, in a manner of speaking. You could probably give yourself a proper form, if you wanted. Stop you from being all blurry."

You are sitting on a glass shard In the void. What do you do?

This could be interesting.

Is the egg clearly an egg, or could it be mistaken for a rock?

How tough is the shell of the two broken eggs? Take a few large shards [of the egg] so we can ask someone about them later. Break open the dead egg -maybe we can get an idea of what produced them, if development was far enough along. If it is fairly well developed, mess with its jaw (ie try to figure out if it moves up/down or side to side).

That should be done first, then we head home.

Surely we could keep it in our pack for now? I don't know what our quarters are like (entirely possible we sleep in the stable) but I think the possibility of someone raiding our stuff while we are gone low, particularly if we are well known by the baron. It also managed to survive in the forest underneath a pile of rocks, so warmth probably won't be an issue.

No, then it'd be missing, rather than bruised. Bruises heal. He was referring to the fact he still can breathe through one lung fine, even if the other is damaged.

Her sword sharpened, Ket swung it onto her shoulder, the blade resting on the steel pauldron. She walked next to Caboose.
"What do you hear, elf?"

Hey, attacking teammates forbad manners in trying to get equipment would be a sure way to be ganged up upon and butchered. I realise you're quite committed to RP, but being grimdark to the point of parody is somewhat ridiculous.
