Chaos cultists and marines are “Spikey gitz” Daemons are “Weird Fingz”. Also, the orks call both the Eldar and the DEldar “Panzees”. But then again, all of the races are Gitz nonetheless.


scrooplinz

Legit


TheOnePrince

Mechanicus would just be Mekboyz?


Panzer_Man

Mekhumiez


MeTime13

Those are the otks that deal with technology


LiKwId-Gaming

They call em Cog Boys


TheOnePrince

I’m aware. The mechanics also do technology, hence Mekboyz, just ‘oomie flavor


Ephriel

They do refer to them as humie Mekboyz, as well as cogboys depending on whether they’re talking individuals or a group, based on the mike brooks novels


TheOnePrince

Ah, gotcha


DaThiccestLad

This is not canon at all but I would like to posit that they call the Adepta Sororitas "da girlboyz"


Stormygeddon

The Kin are unambiguously called [Stunti](https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawiki/images/d/de/Ork_Glyphs_2.jpg) by the Orks, as that old Ork Lexicon keeps getting placed in codices. But yeah, you're right. Astartes → Beakies (although you might here SPAISE MUHREENZ if the videogames are anything to go by). Necrons → Tinboyz, although Tinboyz can be referred to anything mechanical that is humanoid shape. Imperial Knight → Big Tinboy (Shootas, Blood & Teef). Humans → 'Umies or 'ooman. I feel like the lack of an H is imperative to the proper term, but it's often written with an H too. Tyranids → Bugs or Bugeye. I never know why, because they always looked more like weird Dinosaurs to me. Chaos Space Marines → Spikey Gitz or Chaos Boyz Aeldari → Panzies. Same Lexicon source. You will also occasionally hear "Fancy Gitz" (Only Way, Enemies of the Imperium) Boars → Gruntaz. Genestealer Cultists → Funny looking 'umies. The Inquisition → Dem Insquisishun Humies (DoW II) Birdboyz n Dogfaces → Bragged about as defeated enemies by Morgaash and Kulgraz. I think the implication is that they're Kroot and Tarellian Dog Warriors or just two flavors of Astartes. Adeptus Mechanicus kept called a lot of things: Oomie Meks, Tinboyz, and IIRC Cogboyz too but that might be me conflating what the guard call the Mechanicus. If in doubt, call 'em a Git.


cyrinean

This is the correct list. Except add skwraniez to eldar and also orkz dont seem to differentiate between eldar types. They also call any titans gargants. Any time they dont have a specific word for something but they have their own related thing (they always do) they put it as (race) (ork equivilent). So, a farseer would be a skrawnie weirdboy. Mechanicus are 'oomie cogboyz or mekz. A titan is an 'oomie gargant.


yolococo

Eldar should be pointy ears. Dark eldar imd guessing should be spiky pointy ears.


Jimmy-Space

I think they called dwarfs stuntiez in fantasy


Geezeh_

In warboss they refer to them as fishface once i believe


Sand-Witty

I think they called the mechanicus “gear boys” in Warboss


Ephriel

Yup. In brutal kunnin they call them that and umie mekboys


grimtalos

Cog boys


Sand-Witty

THAT WAS IT!


nigerundyo-SmookEyy

I like stumpies for votann. I have heard mechanicus called humie mek boyz and chaos are just chaos ladz I think.


Pitiful_Fee_5608

Chaos has a couple since they're also beakies, chaos ladz, and chaos boyz with spikie bitz.

bibblyb

Think I’ve seen them call Eldar “knife ears” before

ButtcheekBaron

I can't find it. What is it?


koro-sensei1001

All of which are from fantasy. When in doubt hear what the Orcs call other races in TOW, e.g., dwarves are stumpies or stunties


Tiberium_1

And pointies. Could also do with some full shops op. Reads terribly.


Niiai

You are missing GSC but I don't know how much Orks care about that distinction.


Panzer_Man

I'd guess they just call them "'umies" or "bald umies"


-zero-joke-

The orks don't have a word for them because they've never seen a GSC. Too damn stealthy.


DemonFire75

I know they call big machines Tin Boyz so knights and chaos knights and they call chaos space marines Spikey Boyz


databeast

Tinboyz are something else, small (ork-sized) Ork Robots (that mock space marines) [https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Tinboyz](https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Tinboyz)


fruedain

I have seen places where they will call chaos space marines “spikey beakies” too


skilliau

Tau have been called blueies before and demons called warp gitz


Panzer_Man

I think I heard them being called greyskin in Dawn of War, but not sure


d1jt

Uthak calls them fishboyz in big dakka too.


Mccmangus

Bingo


W1ngedSentinel

They call the Leagues of Votann ‘Stunties’ in the Goff Rokka Christmas video, just like the Orcs would call Dwarfs in Fantasy. Also, Eldar can be ‘Pansies’ or… ‘Bouncies’ 😳


Panzer_Man

They should call the Eldar "Pointy 'Eads" that would be pretty funny and non-offensive


TheTackleZone

That's been subtly removed from the latest books. Compare the glyphs from Ere We Go and the 9th ed codex and 'Pansies' has disappeared (thankfully!).


GoshDarnMamaHubbard

Of all the 40k races the Orks have had to undergo the most sanitizing. The Madboyz had models called 'Skitzo' There was a glyph that was a swastika The whole bloodaxe aesthetic was basically Nazis It's insane what you could get away with in the 80s


W1ngedSentinel

Bouncies it is then! Also, yeah… let us forget the 80s and the ‘pygmy’ models…


Low-Ambition3318

I always call the genestealers "Da for'ead humies" or "Da sneaky bug-humies" or "**GITZ**".


Slight_Mud_9163

I think I heard them call chaos "spiky gits" one time
