Alright... this has been bugging me.. so I'll write up some now and take you opnions on how to make it look more like a offical report... keep in mind htis is incomplete because A) i have to head to work soon, and B) its still incomplete in my head
note: XXXXXX= undecided information, whetehr its a specific year or section of hte imperium.
.....Inquistorial ordos Xenos report... This year XXXXXX in our glorius imperium. INquistor adolphus reporting.
Today I submit to the order Xenos my observations on a sub set of hte foul Xeno known as Orks and recommend a much more indepth investigation of this subset be initiated upon the Subset known as the Dino Orks....
While some of my colleagues have pointed out that the foul Xeno plague known as the Orks in general do not require a indepth investigation on eveyr small clan theire barbaric and heretical society creates, I find that this specific subset has some disturbing ramifications tha need to be investigated.
My attention was first drawn to the Dino Clan when reports surfaced about Orks that particpated in a WAARRGGH against a minor Tyranid invasion of the planet arbok in the XXXXXX sector. While in and of itself this would seem to be of little importance, the behavior of this Ork Waargh after the tyranids were defeated was decidedly odd.
While the Ork presence would not have lasted long in any manner as a chapter of XXXXX marines were already enroute to deal with the Tyranid swarm and would surely have cleanesed hte planet of the Xenos.
The fac tof hte matter is that shortly after the Swarm was destroyed the Orks actually retreated from the imperial planet! Despite outnumnbering the remainind PDF forces 2 to 1, and furhtermore reports surfaced that looting bys aid ORks were minimal and that in some occaisons they even spared Women and children!
Why they left was a complete mystery, although the local PDF theorize it may have been that the Orks learned of the incoming Marines and quit while the going was good. THis in and of itself is disturbing, as retreat from a enemy that outclasses them without even meeting in combat goes against almost everything we know of the Ork Waargh mentality.
This mentality and foolhardniess of hte Ork Xenos species is part of what makes them relativly simple to contian and defeat against our holy emperors devoted forces. Should the Orks actually develop tactics and strategy to use there sheer might in a more efficent manner they will become a much mroe deadly foe to our glorius imperium.
Of also concern was the reports of only light looting and even sparing of imperial citzens, as any student can tell you Orks live to loot and few humans as little more than slaves or food. sometimes both.
These aberrations demanded a investigation and so my retinue traveled to Arbok to interview the survivors and determine the cause for these descrepncies. At our request Inquistor Malfus of the Ordo Malleus joined us on the trip as a expert on the possibility of some foul Chaos Cult being ebhind the Orks strange behavior...
Our findings on the trip, see Arbok inquisiton for the full interviews as well as Inquistor Malfus uncovering of a admittadly minor slannesh cult, are disturbing. BUt we did learn a lot about the Dino orks in action both from them and afew other Xeno's that had encountered this strange subset of Ork earlier.
It would seem this subset of Orks has been active in this section of hte galaxy for at least a millinea, albeit mostly in non-imperial held space. A rogue trader was able to confirm this and transport my retinue to a minor Xeno held system that had had frequent encounters with these orks. While dealing with these foul abominations was disgusting, they provided the most background information on these orks.
First of it seems the Dino Ork for whatever reason have chosen the Xeno species of the Tyranid as their main front of Waargh... and in any combat situation seem to target Tyranids to the prefrence of any other targets. Combat footage of a local PDF of Arbok seem to support this Xeno belief, as it shows several orks disengaging and even ignoreing (!) PDF fire on their numbers to grapple with a swarm of Gaunts that had flanked a minor skirmish between the two forces.
THere are also reports of minor Warrghs of Dino Orks trialing splinter fleets and engaing them when they find a planet ot attempt to consume. Oddly enough these reports say the Orks when victorius only claim such a planet as there own if no Snetient species are found on it. Of course these reports come from other Xenos and so are suspect at best. Still one can't help but note the Orks actions on Arbok.....
One of hte most alarming facts we have uncovered is that these Orks seem to have some sort Elite mechanical units. While that doesn't raise many alarms in and of itself, since Orks seem to be able to buil dsuch monstrosities to the machine spirit as there Gargants, these elite units do not match up to normal Ork technology. INdeed while they seem to be shaped to resemble giant monsters, these elite units bear more resemblence to Tau mechanics than the normal crude toys of the Ork menace...
Hard to believe but Arbok actually had footage of two of these elite units in combat against teh Tyranids. As the footage shows the first seems to be made to imitate some sort of bipedial predator with stunted forearms and massive predatory jaws... the second footage filmed a few hours later show a strangly human like giant robot wielding a flaming sword.
Xeno sources seem to indicate both of these units are entitled 'Grimlock', although why they share the same name I can not speculate. One ridicilous source actually claimed they were the same unit, but it was obviously some Xeno trying to pull a fast one over my team.
Xeno sources also indicate at least 8 other types of such units in use by the orks, although to this date unconfirmed by reliable imperial sources. Interestingly these 8 are split evenly between such beast machines and humanoid robots. ANd all 8 are only covered by 4 names. A strange quirk to be sure.
Either way the beast units seem to hold a special signfigance tot he Dino orks. as there armor and vehicles, of which most are the typical ramshackle insults to the machine spirits that other Ork Hordes use, are adorned wiht images representing these beasts.
Another disturbing note I should add before i close this summary. While investigating these beasts against known creatures of the sector, my savant accidentally inputted a wider search covering the whole imperiumf rom the inquisition databanks once we returned home. While at first this appearead a annoying and time delaying accident it would seem the will of the Empeorer gudied my savant as we surprisngly got a match on the images as well as the word Dino.
What is disturbing is that said match comes from our tattered archives dating around the Horus Heresey, and what damaged information we could pull up from the databanks indicate these creatures known as 'dinosaurs' may even predate the great crusade in human knowledge all the way back to the Golden Era! I have dispatched a few researchers to find out what other scraps of knowledge we may acquire on these Dinosaurs, whatever they may be. I fear it may proove important...
Alas I can not join these investigations as I am about to head out sector to investigate another disturbing Ork Subset anomly discovered known as the Junk Orks.....

Feel free to edit that to make it more WH40kish.. next snippet will include his encounters with the Junkion inspired Orks (as well as a reason to why planet Junk is cordaned off from imperial influence by order of the EMperor himself! *lets just say it involve 4-chan
*)
