===Repulsor Mines===
To reconcile the defensive role of mines, Orks use Repulsor Mines, invented by [[Orghamek]]. They hover in the air, supported by repulsor fields, brought into place by [[Ork Minelayer]]s. When an enemy tries to pass under one of the mines, its weak repulsor field collapses and it falls down. The unlucky trespasser is torn to shreds by a massive explosion, if the fall of a heavy mine doesn't kill him first.{{Fn|9}}
===Orbital Mines===
'''Orbital Mines''' are large proximity or contact-detonated mines laid in the depths of space or orbiting worlds as defensive measures. They are basically Ork equivalents of Imperial [[Naval Mine]]s, used by [[Ork]] pirate forces for defending hidden bases, disabling enemy craft, or deterring pursuers.{{Fn|16}}
