This is kinduva game fluff question for you 40k guys out there, but it will actually effect some painting decisions for a project I\'m working on. I asked in the painting forum but this might be a better place for the question.

Can anyone tell me which SM chapter has the most bad blood or history with Orcs? Or conversely, is there a particular Orc clan that bumps into Marines?

I appreciate the help if anyone knows!

The Crimson fists have a long and burning history with orks, as it was these who they were fighting during thr Rynns world incident.

You could als go for any of the chapters involved in the armageddon wars, soch as the salamandars, Black Templars and the dark Angels in the first armageddon war,

Like Dave said the crimson fists are particularly hostile towards them but also the 3rd company Blood angels are (tycho\'s company) and also the armegeddon chapters.

On the whole any chapter really as SM hate anything Xenos.
Think space wolves like fighting orks, remember reading something about them enjoying the physical battle an bruteness against orks.

Crimsons and Blood angels best way tbh though

Awesome! Thanks, guys. I got some good responses in the painting forum, too. Sounds like Crimson Fists and Black Templars are the most commonly mentioned. Just about every chapter seems to have some beef with the greenskins, though.

From the Orky point of view, the Bloodaxe clan is supposed to have had the most contact with the Imperium. Maybe you could use Kommandos?

It\'s been said already but the Crimson Fists probably have the most issues as they\'re a much depleted chapter thanks to the Orks, which is why in the prvious codex they had the Preferred Enemy: Orks which all infantry could have.
