Actually, Vulkan is still alive. He fell from orbit to Macragge from the Night Haunters ship. The Night Haunter literally gave up on killing him because no matter what he did to destroy him, his ability to regenerate was to fast and to much to completly kill him. Instead he locked him in a labrinth he shouldn't have been able to find his way out of. He then found his hammer Dawnbringer and used the personal teleporter in it to teleport to Macragge, but ended up in the atmosphere. He did not die from the flaming decend to the surface though, and has left relics and clues to the chapter about his warabouts. He will only return to the chapter after the clues are followed though.

As for these Ork people coming into the chat...

If you look at the war on Octaria right now, the Tyranids have are the most likely to win.
