[Deadlift]

You forgot take ****loads of steriods, and I live in Devon.

Lol not all take the roids, I have done a couple of stacks but legal gear only. Interested to see your in Devon mate, where abouts ? PM me if you want. I used to play most of my games in Torquay GW but now the manager has gone its not the same. Looking for a club maybe.

Steroids, growth enhancement hormones, ****tons of protein, etc etc etc.

Bodybuilders are quite frequently some of the least healthy people in society.

Remeber this is a game where a space marine''s slap is stronger than a shotgun blast.

Also all humans are strength 3 unless they've been injured or been given some kind of enhancement- not just best of the military- see necromunda gangers and juves- or conscripts.

Right, orks are str 3 because, while they are stronger than humans, most orks are weaker than SMs. Thus, str 3 with furious charge. And then, of course, nobz and the like get better strength.

i'm just guessing here, but i'd say it's something like this:
Conscript/guardian: S3.0
Guardsman/gaunt: s3.3 ish
Aspect warrior/DE warrior: S3.5
ork: s3.7
Space marine: 4.5
Ctan: ***LOTS***

not a definitive guide, just a thought. make of it what you will.

If you really want to know why orks are Str3 then I have the absolute answer here for you.

Orks are Str3 because GW says so.

[Duke]

I think the best answer was given on the first page... Orks, could arguably be given a higher strength, but they aren't due to balance rules... Now if the game was played on d10 instead of d6 we could have a more diversified system of stats.

Orks on average are, in the d100 system of Dark Heresy and Rogue Trader, roughly ~45-55. Humans are on average ~25-35. Ork Nobz are ~55-65 with Unnatural Strength. Astartes are roughly ~40-50, with Unnatural Strength. Unnatural Strength increases the bonus that one gets from one's strength stat, but doesn't actually increase one's strength stat.
