One of my favorite instances of this is from 40k, shocker, I know, but basically Sebastian Yarrick, known to the Orks of 40k as "Old Bale Eye" had such a longstanding feud with an Ork Warboss, Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka, that one Ghazghkull actually had Sebastian at his complete and utter mercy.

The only other surviving human was a pilot. And the Orks, known for their literal BIOLOGICAL NEED for violence and conflict did nothing to them. Because Ghazghkull told them not to. He let them take a human ship back to their territories. A young Ork asked what the deal was and Thraka just "Good enemies is 'ard tah foind."

I want to stress that Thraka weighs a couple tons and Is literally fifteen or twenty feet tall.

Also of note: When someone else killed Yarrick later, Thraka joined forces with humanity to kill the guy that did it. Leading those human forces? A demigod or "Primarch" named Lion El'Johnson. So imagine losing your greatest foe to a monster and then walking up to Hercules (Someone you know almost nothing about for this example) and being like "Hey. You wanna kill the Nemean Lion? Me too. I'm coming along wether you want me to or not."

God I love “We’re enemies, but we’ve been enemies for a long time, which is sort of like being friends.” Great trope.

So those new Blood Angels

this needs a model

An anon on 40kg did a good analysis of why 40k Orks have endured and resonated with audiences so well, especially compared to other "orc" variants.

Also relevant, and posted in the same thread, was the classic/canon text from Uthan the Eldar.

The fact the both Krorks AND Aeldari were made tells you how fucking scary the Necrons are

The consequences of the Old Ones being against universal healthcare were significant
