As the title states, this is the first bit of Fluff that I have actually wanted to write, and it seems fit to add backstory to my re-introduction to Orkz.
So here it goes, a short story about my favoured Warboss and his Warband:
After the Prophet of the WAAAGH!!! descended upon the Armageddon system for the second time, Warlord Grugzak Nobchoppa saw opportunity to prove himself to the grand warlord that was, Ghazghkull Mag Urak Thraka, as a capable attribute to his massive and still growing WAAAGH!!! Nobchoppa was a beast of an Ork, standing 8 feet tall, scarred and battle-damaged, his left eye battered deep into his thick, deformed skull, a result from his initiation ceremony into his tribe, his wide and salavating gob filled to the limit with "teef" and a long, purple tongue hidden behind, he wore looted scraps of armour, adorned with skulls and the skins of his former enemies that had once crossed him, he also wore a patchwork robe, jet black with the tribes insignia poorly stitched into the center of it, beneath this robe he kept his pet Jungle tree squig, simply named;
"Facesnatcha" , derived from it's nasty habit of aiming for the face of it's prey. He held a vicious looking claw in his right hand, hard-wired into his forearm with the word;"DEFF" crudely carved into its brace and a twin-barrelled machine gun in the other, decorated with flames and a skull wearing an Imperial Commissars hat, both chained to the under-slung barrel of the massive weapon. Truly an individual whom dressed accordingly to his status.
Nobchoppa had already been employed by the Prophet during his first defeat at Armageddon, Nobchoppa himself already arisen to the rank of Warboss in his own tribe, "Da deffly skarz" were contacted by Ghazghkull and bullied into joining his second invasion force under promises of loot and plunder and threats of death and destruction should Nobchoppa and his lads choose otherwise.
When Ghazghkull contacted Nobchoppa, the meeting was brief, and few words were uttered, as Ghazghkull approached the camp, he shouted at the top of his voice:
[u]"Oi! Me and me boyz 'ere gotz a propasal for ya!"
A large figure slowly arose from a huge hut in the center of the camp, hundreds of boyz gathered around to audience the large silhouette that stood. He moved forward into the bleak sunlight that shone through the ash ridden sky.
So you'z dis Nobchoppa I been 'earing about den?"
"Yeah, who wants ta know?"
Ghazghkull's face grew red with rage;
[i]I'ze da Prophet of da godz ya stoopid git! 'Ow da bloody 'ell you not heard 'o me!? I'ze 'ere to take dis rok, and da rest of da ooniverse!"
Nobchoppa simply replied;
"Dat so iz it? then why you 'ere den?
[/i]"I'm 'ere coz itz ma job, given to me by Gork n Mork, to get all da boyz to fight togetha, and do wot da godz put us lot in da ooniverse for, ta fight and win and crush da over races! And now I'ze 'ere to get you lot to join me in me WAAAGH!!! Dey'll be gunz, land, and all do oomies ya can stomp if ya join my WAAAGH!!!"
Nobchoppa uttered an ugly grin that spread across his wretched, scarred face, and he asked;
[i]Oh yeah? And wot 'appenz if we dont join yoo lot?
Ghazghkull roared:
If yoo dont join me then I'll rip yer 'ead off and eat ya insidez! And do rest of me boyz will stomp dis 'ole camp flat ya 'ear!
Nobchoppa knew, despite his arrogance, that Ghazghkull was right, he could not possibly stand up against the grand warlord or his WAAAGH!!! after all, they were the toughest Orkz in the known galaxy.
and with a moment of thought, Nobchoppa simply looked the Prophet in the eye, and said;
"Youz'e got yourself a deal"
And with that, the agreement was sealed.
When the time came of the second attempt of planetary invasion of Armageddon, Nobchoppa was appointed leader of the assault on the eastern sector of Hades hive, leading his Warband of tens of thousands of Greenskins daubed in all forms of tribal markings, face paints and self-scarring on the attack of the eastern wall, Klaw and double-barrelled shoota in hand, Nobchoppa opened his huge maw and screamed at the top of his deep, croaky voice, a deafening "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" and began the charge towards Hades hive...
So that's a little starter for all of you, hope you enjoyed, and I will update daily until it comes to a point of starting the next of Nobchoppa's adventures and campaigns.
C&C is welcome!
