as much as i love ol' ghazghkull i'd say he isn't even close to the biggest/strongest ork ever. he's undoubtedly amongst the biggest/strongest and is also badass and kickass, but his defining attribute is his un-orky strategic intelligence.

i often wonder how old orks can live, and how big they can get: thraka doesn't seem to have changed at all in the 50 years between the 2nd and 3rd armageddon wars. is that an oversight in the lore department? is he maybe supposed to be a few feet taller, since he's been fighting a lot in those 50 years? i think he stands at around 12 - 13 feet (4-ish metres), but if he hasn't grown any (officially) in 50 years then i think it's safe to say that he probably is the biggest/strongest, and kunnin'est, ork ever.
