Ork Clans are those fraternal orders of Orks which claim cultural descent from one of the original clans on the ancient [[Ork]] [[Homeworld]], distinguished by their traditional clothing, and customs – however lineage is not considered for Clan membership. Clans exist outside the organization of tribes (and Households and Families){{Fn|9}} - where tribes are inconstant, breaking apart and reforming in war, Clans are constant and enduring{{Fn|1}}Orks tend to form tribes and warbands with others who follow the same clan, but different groups tend to be lumped together after suffering casualties during a [[Waaagh!]],{{Fn|1}} and never has their been a [[Waaagh!]] with fewer than two such clans coming together.{{Fn|19}}

There are countless tribes and warbands throughout the galaxy, but only six significant Clans. Each has its own distinct character, culture, colours, markings, and ways of waging war. {{Fn|1}} The Clan distinctions are possibly genetic, engineered into the Orks by the Brainboys [[Brain Boyz]] of the distant past.{{Fn|1}}

A large tribe usually consists of Orks of different Clans. Orks tend to form tribes and warbands with others who follow the same clan, but different groups tend to be lumped together after suffering casualties during a [[Waaagh!]].{{Fn|1}} ==Main =The Six Clans===
