How strong is an Ork

[The Neverborn]

Been watching some of the Animations on WH+ the Orks don't appear to be as physically strong as I expected. It looks like men and women 1/3 their size parry blows quite regularly. I can accept that in a fight technique, timing and skill help a lot. But all the technique and timing won't help someone if they are fighting someone or something powerful enough, for example an adult raging grizzly bear. Heck given 10 metre or less engagement range a grizzly bear vs current day special forces with a standard side arm. I'm betting grizzly. 

 

So here's my question and if you can back it up with written quoted lore you get rep from me!

 

How does the strength of : PDF, Cadian Guardsperson , Commissar, Kasrkin 

Compare to

Ork, Nob, Warboss, Warlord

 

And how do any of them compare to a large raging grizzy bear in raw strength.

Something to the effect of:

an ork boy is typically as strong as the strongest human you would ever meet. They have unnatural strength which let's them lift and throw thing much better than a human can. They are also very sturdy and have extreme stamina so physically better at physical combat by a long shot.

Bigger orks like nobs have literal gorilla strength and can tear a man apart with little effort.

A warboss can have strength comparable to an elephant.

The answer is - as strong as the story requires them to be.

Maybe in W40K RPG books you can find that and extrapolate it to W40K wargame. But in my opinion the works tends to be stronger physically than a normal human. Specially if they get older. Young works can be less.

It all depends, in Da Gobbo’s Revenge a mek boy threw a Gretchen and almost took off a humans head, so I’d say around gorilla.
