Being the most insensitive species in the galaxy, the Orks have a slang term for every other species they face. I'm wondering if there's a complete list somewhere. I know the easy ones like 'umies and beakies. But what about the Tau, do they have a term for them?

All the good ORK stuff was written before tau existed, so I have no idea what they call them. I also doubt that GW push them calling eldar pansies in this day and age as well.

Off the old fluff, bug eye was the term for a genestealer, tyranid or alien. So probably closest.

Aeldari of the various varieties get called "pointies" IIRC on account of their ears.
Though, plain old simple "gitz" is a good catch all for any enemy.

I have a feeling that Orks call Tau something along the lines of "dakka boys" or "dakka gitz". Cannot think of a reference now though.

Yeah…they didn’t used to. Political correctness gone mad, or offence outdated humour dropped for good reason, you decide!

The Ones I Remember from Audiobooks I just Listened To:

Avatar of Khaine= Hot Git
Bloodthirster= Fing

Necrons= Tin boyz
Tau= Bloo gitz
Space Marines= Beekeez (From the Corvus pattern armor)
Chaos Space marines= Spikeez

I'll be available after I finish this DnD party pic, a few goblins and one NSFW piece.
My prices are pretty cheap.
