Orkimedes is a background Ork character mentioned in the fluff surrounding [[Armageddon|The Third Armageddon War]] and a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes shockingly bad pun] even by GW standards. Personal [[Mekboy]] to [[Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka|Ghazghkull]] himself, he's credited as being one of, if not the, smartest Orks in existence. Also quite a [[Mork|kunnin']] fellow as his existence has technically never been verified by the [[Imperium]], although he does have a hit out on his head by [[Officio Assassinorum|these freaks]].

He's very, very rarely mentioned, which is a shame because when he is the fluff is quite interesting. Orkimedes's biggest accomplishment is probably his refinement of Tellyportas. The effective range of most races' Teleporting technology is fairly limited, only a few tens of megameters at the most ([[Dawn of War|there are exceptions though]]). This is a hell of a lot shorter than it sounds when you remember that space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. A range of tens of megameters is just about enough for spaceship to spaceship boarding actions or spaceship to ground actions. Orkimedes, however, managed to build Tellyportas that could accurately drop mobs of Orks onto the battlefields of Armageddon [[Awesome|from the edges of the star system]]. We are talking ranges that you would have to measure in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_unit AUs]. Sadly the [[Imperial Navy]] was able to track down the [[Space Hulk]] he was hiding out on and force it to flee the Armageddon system after which he did [[Lorgar|basically fuck all]] He's also credited with souping up the Orks' [[Gargant|Gargants]], making them into even bigger mountains of [[rape]] than they were before. Now has a section in the new Codex: Waaagh! Ghazghkull named after him (Orkimedes' Kustom Gubbinz).
