Magnotz woke up with a loud, toothy yawn and a stretch. He then grabbed his head with his good hand as he felt a pain there from inside.
"Ow! Dat fungus wine wuz strong it wuz!" he said aloud to his now visible Grot servants. He scratched his sides and pulled a small parasite from his flank. "Hmm, looks 'bout right!" and popped it into his mouth to crunch it as he figured his next order out. "Oi! help me get ready to go address da ladz!" and with that, his Grots helped him dress for the day, from his tanned leather form suit to the dark bronze armor and his coupling for the Power Klaw, with his Twin shoota in hand he looked all the bit the Orky Warboss. His back banner and trophies in place he stepped outside. The planetary town that his forces resided in was a huge sprawl of habs and shops for making everything from choppas to gargants, in fact he could see some already. Grots and Snotlings running around doing tasks they were ordered to do, or more of their sneaking around. Orks going about training, drinking, brawling, or buying new gear if they had the teef for it, others bashing the face of another for some teef to buy weapons and armor. The odor of rank Orks and burning fuel as dark clouds of burnt promethium hung about the city. Magnotz breathed in, "Ah, now dat's wot I'm talkin' about!" He spotted his Nob hangers on. "Oi ladz, methinks iz time fur food!" he bellowed, and they all laughed. As he walked, they joined him, all arguing for who got to be closer to their leader and who got the furthest spot away, they were following him to the one spot he favored in town for a morning meal, and sure enough, several buildings later, they entered Gut-smacka's establishment. Magnotz sat at his table, they took seats at their spots based on how they worked the order out for that day.

As the food and drink arrived, Magnotz addressed his Nobs. "Lissen up you lot! Me an' me brothers have agreed, as soon as da ships are ready, we all pack up and 'ead off to smash us anyfing dat resists us! it's time fer a good 'ole fashion' WAAAGH!" And with that, the room echoed with the sound of all of the Orks there taking up the battle cry, then all settled down.
Nozgib asked " 'Boss, 'ow is it that you an' da uvva bosses all is da same?" Magnotz looked at him, then the others around him
"Okay, dis is 'ow it happen'd, it wuz da oddest uv birfs, da fungus node dat was for me to be hatched frum had an odd thing 'appen to it." He began, "Now norm'ly, one Ork to a fungus, but dis one wuz diff'rent, coz it 'ad me and' tree uvva pods attached!" the Nobz inhaled in shock. He had them now, and he could see it in their beady eyes. "der wuz me, of course, and Zagnotz, den Gragnotz, and Ragnotz, my last and poor brovva, coz he don't grow enuff teef!" at the end of that the nobz all chuckled. "Oi! isn't dat funny as he iz alwayz beggin' fer teef to buy hiz stuff wit." he pointed this out with a backhanded cuff to the head of the nob chuckling the most, knocking him to the floor. "Now dis wuz odd, to say da least, so we had to figga out who was da boss of us all, so I beat all of dem up, den Zagnotz won the second fight and beat da uvva two, an' finally, Gragnotz beat Ragnotz Making it clear who wuz wot!" Magnotz then chewed on his roasted squig leg platter in front of him.

One of the Nobz asked. "So, didn't Gragnotz lose an arm in da fight boss?" Magnotz gulped down the succulent meat and then answered, "Oi, dat wuz how he beat Ragnotz! by beatin' im wit dat arm like a club! a true Ork dat one!" and the whole room shuddered with belly laughs of the Orks. Once iot settled down for an orky pub, "Dat's also why he kept losin' it in battles afta dat, it just never re-attached right, no matta how many times da doks put it backon." He said next, "He saved up iz teef an' now sports a nifty Cyb'ork arm wit' a shoota rokkit combi weapon dat I suspect wuz nicked from one o' da killa kans of dat one tribe we used to be next ta!" they all smiled toothily at that memory.

"But we needz ta get da Ladz ready, da ships will be good enuff fer loadin' soon an' den we WAAAGH!! once more, we bin sittin' 'ere too long on our arses!" he bellowed, and the word spread through out all of the Ork towns and the planet, which they had been pretty much using up anyway, so it was indeed time to head off for fresh conquests.

"I needz ta discuss dis wit Tek' sla, make sure he got it right!" Magnotz said as he got up, his meal done.

I wanted to make a comment about your story. It can be very difficult to create "ork" language but I think you did an acceptable job. It was generally legible while still conveying the culture of the Ork race. I like your story and hope you continue. I assume this will just be the formation of some generic Waaagh?

Thanks!

It is about my Ork army(yes i named all of my bosses and the Big Meks as well. As for my Ork language, well years of reading GW Ork fluff, and the bitz in both Orky Codecii helped as well.

Glad you like it so far, Thanks! I will also eventually get the Ladz out for photo opportunities.

well that was at least understandable for me^^ i was fearing that it was too much orky language that i wouldn´t understand the conext...but i did^^...tho i have to say... not that i am too known of the fluff of orks myself...that your orks sound and behave rather civilized...the amount of violence is rather tamed^^ but i guess the did after all spend to much time sitting on their own arses^^ lol

hope this will soon to be continued...^^

vik

Dis iz just wakey time fer 'im Vik!

lol... after a hearty breakfast the bashin`can kick in i expect^^

Oh all sorts of things will happen, never a dull moment in an Ork city!

that is the main reason why i cant get a true foothold with orks... there is something truly unlogic working ... they are pure geniuses to work out even spacetravel hell warptravel even but they have this brutal and very "tactile" civilisation/ social life going on...and i pretty find that creepy to have a mere nonsexual lifeform...well it certainly is very sifi all around but the tech and social life isn´t quite rhyming for my...if you understand my view...

They are bred for nothing but war, much like the Sontarans of Dr. Who fame
Fighting and dangerous games is what makes them happy

that i understand it is just the highly developed tech (getting in outer space IS high tech! even if it looks look like crap...) and then have this brutal society...with slave races and beating instead of argueing... well it works for them...

The Orks know who is boss by their size, and they have little issues, the resolve disputes via fighting pit, and the money they use if their own Teeth! they have the tech woven into their DNA, so Fighters, Meks, Doks, Runtherders, Grots and Snotlings.

Zanzgs waagh is da best

Orks just wanna smash stuff

@antslol; Hello, hope you enjoyed the first part of the tale.

As Magnotz and the Nob Skwad as his retinue was known, they could see signs of a healthy Ork community, games of chance or of moving bitz of metal around a checkered board erupting into brawls when accusations cheating were bellowed., Grots or snots squashed under the brawlers, likely now to be part of that night's stew.

Mek shop grots hawking their masters' wares as other grots went about on errands to get gear or food for their Ork master. Other shops had Orks seeing tot mending their weapons and armor. Magnotz approved. "Now dis is wot I likes ta see! Alla da Ladz gettin' reddy fer da WAAGH!!" he smiled toothily, now that meant a lot of things to the Nobz and the slowest ones usually got clipped when Magnotz smiled. Gibnitz was the slow one today and got knocked to the ground when Magnotz in a fit of Orky joy slapped him. He got back up quickly and asked "Oi boss what'd ya go and cuff me fer?"

Magnotz stopped and faced his underling. His smile still there, the others backed away. "Cuz I iz inna good mood dat's why! If i wanted ta brain ya, I would 'ave! If yuz is gettin' soft on me Gibnitz, I can replace ya if ya like." His grin grew bigger, and his Klaw crackled with a power surge. "C'mon, ya knows ya wants ta give it a go!" Other Orks dropped their business to watch what would happen.
"Now out here it would be a brawl, but we could just go to the pit and settle it if ya feel like I'z bein' unfair." Magnotz finished. Gibnitz, seeing a chance said, "Okay les do dis inna pit!" to which Magnotz looked a litle surprised, and then smiled again, his cunning mind understand what Gibnitz was after. Magnotz bellowed to the growing crowd, Somewhere, a Mek shop exploded and a oily mushroom cloud ascended, a good sign for this.

"Listen up you lot! we has here a disagreement, an' a nob who feels his oatz 'e duz!" the crowd laughed. Two of us will enter the Thunda pit, just one of us iz walkin' out. as it should be!"

The crowd erupted into a raucous chaotic thing and all of themn walked to the pit at the center of the city. His Nobz would officiate, (as much as that was possible)

Magnotz stood at one end of the pit, and Gibnitz the other. Both had their slugga and shoota taken as this was a hand to hand affair between them.
The Nob known as ZaggGutz stood up. "Here we has tweo Orks with gutz fulla fight! now not wanting a personal issue to fill da city, dey comes to do it on the sands where Justiz iz served, usually hot and bloody!" the crowd laughed, ZaggGutz might make a good boss one day, but not while Magnotz was alive.

"Dere iz just one rool here," ZggGutz said, "Dere ain't any roolz! Now FIGHT!"

With that both Gibnitz and Magnotz charged to the center of the sands. Swinging his big chooper, it's teeth whirling Gibnitz swung fast and first. With his Klaw, Magnotz blocked most of the hits, but one got through and his leg took a cut. Bellowing in Rage, Magnotz lashed with his crackling power Klaw, and left Gibnitz a smoking pair of boots where his legs had been sheered off, his head,, rolled away from another stike, his chest, from the third, smoked and was spilling his innards all over the sands..

ZaggGutz stood both hands up in the air, "Our winner! and still champiun! Magnotz our Warlord of da WAAAGH!!!, apparently the Godz Mork an' Gork smile upon dis WAAGH!!! as Magnotz took Gibnitz down so fast!"

Magnotz raised hi Klaw in the air and bellowed "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!" to the crowd, a dok and orderly came to him and stapled the leg wound shut, and then the grot sewed up the cut in the pant leg.

Magnotz then addressed the crowd. "Who's da Boss!? " to which they all pointed and acknowledged "Magnotz!"
"An who iz gonna lead diz here WAAAGH!!???"

The crowd again shouted "Magnotz!"

He smiled and shook his head as the grots returned his Twin Shoota "Das right!" and with that, he went back to the outer walls of the pit. Justiz wuz served. Having lost so badly, they took the remains of Gubnitz to the drops to feed the squigs.

"Now, we'll go an' see Tek' sla unless any one else haz a reason to delay me?" No one had anything else they wanted to say.

The shop owned by Tek' Sla was easy to find, it had electric blue glowing sparking from it as well the occasional explosion.

a dok and orderly came to him and stapled the leg wound shut

best part...lol they stapled his leg wound lol...

that ZggGutz is quite the professor one ain´t he? ^^ he talks quite posh^^
seems the Gibnitz stew will be a good omen to the upcoming waaagh!...nice read but a way to quick fight...but i am thinking there will be lots of this more in the future ^^

I have found that a good few strokes with a Power Klaw ends the fight pretty darn fast!

lol....have a fist at ya you filthy greenhide^^

Viktor von Domm wrote:lol....have a fist at ya you filthy greenhide^^

Well, is a pretty bad day for anyone as that Warlord/Boss packs a S10punch!

too bad that this last comment is lost on me as i am still a noob ruleswise^^

LOL! it means his Klaw hits like a Tau Railcannon! He can rip open Monolith and Landraider alike

well this is a "handy" *cogh cough cough* tool indeed^^

Better on a battlewagon equipped with a borading plank, it allows him to assault the enemy vehicle w/o actaully leaving the battlewagon then he uses his mega can opener on the enemy vehicle.

sounds almost like cheating^^

Der iz no such fing as cheatin' unless yu iz a Panzy Eldar!

lol...true an ork never looses...he wins or he wins the other day...

And I have to get close for it to work, so many other armies have massive range and power to get through!

as for example your tau... but at least the orks have lots of meatshields^^
