Editing The Beast (section)

== Fatal Flaw ==

However, for all its strength, the Beast also actually creates a natural (and very easy to exploit) weakness in Orks. As a result of how successful the Beast's Waaagh! was, the Boyz within it are supercharged with Waaagh! energy, a volatile thing at the best of times. Even the use of only a handful of [[Sisters of Silence]] and a Weirdboy has the power to set off a chain reaction strong enough to do anything, from wiping out all five Beasts at once to killing an entire planet of Orks. This is questionable from a fluff consistency perspective at best, as WAAAGH!!! energy seem to be switching (at a given writer's whim) from being a kind of warp energy (that Sisters can nullify) to being something totally different (for example psykers, daemons and psychic nulls have no impact on Ork teknology that is in essence powered by WAAAAGH!!! energy). But then again, when was WH40k lore ever consistent?

Despite this weakness, the conflict against the Beast was desperate due to the Imperium only having a very small number of Sisters of Silence to help them, and only then because Vulkan asked them to. While the Sisters' numbers have been restored in the 41st Millenium, the more immediate threat of Chaos following the formation of the Great Rift may still compromise their ability to respond to any would-be successor. That being said, while Orks are without limit it would still take a hell of a long time for them to get that strong. [[Tuska Daemon-Killa|Why, you would need to be fighting 24 hours a day, seven days, a week for more then a few centuries, all without dying for that to happen...]] what are the odds of any Ork living that long?
