Technically, Orks were the very first concept introduced into the universe that would become ''Warhammer 40,000''. In 1985, [[Games Workshop]] released a Limited Edition 1" (LE1) "Space Orc" miniature shortly before the "Limited Edition 2" (LE2) [[Space Marine]] figure. Both of these releases predated the release of [[Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader]] in 1987.{{Fn|34}}{{Fn|35}}
"Space Ork Raiders" were included in the earliest incarnation of [[1st Edition]]. They were depicted as smaller than modern Ork designs, though maintained their green skin, hunched posture, and toothy jaws.{{Fn|35}} Most of the modern concepts associated with Orks such as their hyper-violent nature [[Gretchin]] slave class, and primitive but effective technology were established in the 1st Edition Rulebook. However their violence seemed to be more a result of hatred of all non-Ork life rather than a love of fighting in general.{{Fn|36}}
1990-1991's [[Waaargh: Orks]], [['Ere We Go: Orks in Warhammer 40,000}|'Ere We Go]], and [[Freebooterz: Space Ork Army Lists|Freebooterz]] established most modern Ork lore such as their love of fighting, fungal nature{{Fn|37a}}, [[Gork and Mork]]{{Fn|37d}}, natural technological and subcultural affinities (i.e. [[Oddboyz]],{{Fn|37b}} [[Kult of Speed]]{{Fn|36}}, Clanz{{Fn|37a}}, etc.) and the enigmatic [[Brainboyz]].{{Fn|37a}} In 1998 the release of [[Gorkamorka (game)|Gorkamorka]] saw the Orks take on a more brutal and ramshackle appearance.{{Fn|36}}
