Orks… Prolly not, even with the promise of a hard fight to engage in.

Freebooter mercenaries have worked for various factions before, and even non-freebooter warbands have teamed up with various factions for the promise of a good fight. In either case its usually followed by betrayal but they still are capable of teaming up with others
 
Orks often work as mercenaries for rogue elements of various factions so they'd be an easier race to justify, it's just that once the fighting has died down orks tend to come back with all the equipment and weapons you hired them with and fight you.

Orks genuinely think this is funny.

How would a Mass Effect-style rpg work in the 40k universe? Could you get away with a human protagonist having xenos squadmates?

You’d need an entity significantly more powerful than every other army combined to cause them to unite, and on the precipice of conflict instead of already in full blown war. When battles are measured by the number of planets destructed in 40k, it’s silly to say solar systems wills be destroyed instead by the biggest bad, because even then there’s so many.

So, a legion of Void Dragons?

You shut up. 1987-1992 were the best years of GW. Everything until 2018 was a mistake. (Thanks Tom Kirby).

OLDHAMMER IS BEST HAMMER!!!!!

Keep on throwin' away that electricity money for the few plastic models that are not Spess Mahrins that will just get overshadowed and yeeted by the Space Marines then. Like, I won't stop you.
 
How dare you?! Games Workshop knows that Warhammer is a fan-centric hobby, and would never do something to alienate its legions of devoted...

...er, what I meant to say is, that image you posted suggests that Warhammer could wind up as mindless and exploitative as Star Wars, spiting its fans on purpose and generally relying on a massive parent company to keep them afloat when their failed social experiment crashes. There's absolutely no way something like that could ever happ...

Nah, poisoning from touching the minis, remember how genuinely toxic the materials those ones were made out of?

You've been fucked since the day a bunch of lazy fucks decided to make excuses for all the glorantha minis they had left over in stock and made a bootleg fantasy map of europe in between pints of guinness and watching football hooligans kick each other in the dick.

The lead isn't enough to hurt you unless you're a child.

As for GW going to shit, that was 1991(ish) when Bryan Ansell sold his part of the company to Tom Kirby. That's when they fucked with the paint pots to make sure they dried out, raised prices while putting less models in a kit, stopped putting all of the armies into a single book, etc.

Edit: spelling

The memberberries to force the masses to consume product are clearly working.

tbf, memberberries are usually very shallow concepts that are iterated to get the masses consooming. Reviving a completely unknown character to appeal to a small segment of your consumer base is slightly different. Plus it's a cure way to tease a new Thrakka model.

And you prove my point, since the exact same bullshit tactic you're mentioning was done for the hit flop Solo too.
