Just wondering which Ork Warboss was your favourite and why?
I do not mind if he is your favourite because he is powerful, or because he has an awesome model, or because his fluff is epic, I just wanna know your ultimate favourite Warboss and why he is your favourite

Mmm, that's a tough question, but I would say my favorite warboss, or more precisely Waaagh! leading big mek, is Wazdakka Gutsmek. He is the most hilariously stupid, but briliant leader in the 40K verse in my opinion. His fluff is completly overblown and about as dumb and ridiculous as it can get, while remaining completly in character and enjoyable.

Gorgutz! He is kunnin, but brutal.

Warlord Nazdreg Ug Urdgrub.

The old Bad Moonz Special Character from long ago, who could shoot as well as a Space Marine and from when his Orks could actually aim!

Definitely Tuska Daemon Killa. He's in Orky heaven killing and getting bigger everyday because he made Khorne laugh from snipping a daemon prince's privates while pinned to the ground of a daemon world from a massive sword through his chest!

Grizgutz

Grizgutz is an Ork Warlord who launched a Waaagh! into the Morloq system. Using warp travel, Grizgutz and his Boyz unwittingly traveled back in time and emerged back into the materium shortly before they departed. A noted kleptomaniac, Grizgutz killed his earlier self so he could have his favorite gun as a spare. However, the resulting confusion caused by this turn of events threw Grizgutz's Waaagh! into disarray.

I like my warbosses fluff quite a bit.

Warboss Jakk Kratnot was a successful Bad Moons warboss who through shrewd negoiating and strong armed robbery acquired enough teef to buy da finkin kap. Once he put it on, it unlocked the secrets to war he was looking for in his quest for ultimate power.

Other things crept in from the mind of the insane and immortal human strategist trapped inside the kap. Moments lost in time that most Orks would simply gloss over gripped Jakk deeply.

In one moment in a small imperial classroom a century ago, a young man learns that speed warps time, and an object moving at the speed of light travels through both time and space.

In another moment, a young boy hears a myth that the universe will end in a cataclysmic battle, fallout from which wipes all life from the galaxy.

These two stolen memories and the touch of insanity conspired and murdered the old Jakk, consumed with greed and power. Standing in his place was a prophet with a message of the last battle, and a way to get there. With that, Jakk cast out his old life with the Bad Moons, spending his fortune and the kap to acquire the fastest bike the Moons could build and left with his core followers on the path of the Kult Of Speed, launching Waaagh! Kratnot.

Each victory brings more stolen technology, more research, and ultimately a faster bike. Painted with blood splatters and impact dents, Kratnot glows with Waaagh energy as his modified bike pinballs from unit to unit, his acceleration never dropping until the last enemy falls and his subliminal ork psyker abilities no longer feast on adrenaline and bloodlust.

The world of Koriban II brought Jak the closest he's ever been to the galaxy ending Valhalla. After a exceptionally grotesque slaughter of an entire AM regiment Jakk had absorbed so much energy that at the climax of the massacre he blinked out of existence for a moment before reappearing, leaving only three rings of fire encompassing the entire circumference of the planet. His ork followers and the imperial citizenry had only moments to comprehend what had happened before the secondary effect of what Jakk had just done became apparent. His little joyride had inadvertently reversed the planets rotation. This subsequently ejected most of the planet's atmosphere along with all non secure materials into the void of space, including all intelligent life on the planet. Every living thing perished. Jakk was the exception, through the direct intervention of both Gork and Mork did he survive. He reappeared years later with a fierce reputation and a fiercer army to show for it.

Every time Jakk disappears, human and ork alike wonder, at the very back of their minds guarded by skepticism and ego, if Jakk really did it. Lightspeed on land. Then the dread fear behind that possibility, that somewhere in the desperate future final battle for the survival of all life in the galaxy, if that light will be snuffed by the sudden arrival of a horde of ork bikers ripping through the defense at lightspeed.

I love all the character filled and just plain awesome/ridiculous fluff of the Orks. And hearing from you guys just makes me wanna read all this new lore that you have mentioned. Well new to me. Orks have personality and I love it

I'm not a fan of named characters so my warbosses are typically regular warbosses with no background behind.

The Beast..... was one of the most powerful Ork Warbosses to have ever lived.
10m tall monsterous creature Ork... who was intelligent and could speak perfect Gothic (human language)

I wonder if FW will ever release a model... maybe you could proxy the beast with a gargant (The Beast in mega armour).. his stat line would make a tyranid bio titan hierophant cry)


The favorite Warboss with an existing model is Ghazghkull! the original and and hte best

The one that drove his bike into a Warlord titans cockpit and fethed the occupants up big style whilst being on fire from the voidshields. Pretty bonkers.

This zogging git of a boss

A Warboss with the proper Orky values of Fighting, Looting, and Winning

In more official fluff (at the expense of being less awesome) I would say Kaptin Bluddflagg is my favorite Warboss. Awesome lines, really badass looking, and knows the value of a proppa hat which is a rarity among the more unkultured bosses.

The is the only Boss I care about the reset need not apply.


GorGak. He's been fighting for nearly 20 years now and he's keeps on fighting. He's taking your place at the top of the heap. He is D zoggin lord of Gakk mountin. Master of Da Dropps and leader of Da tide. He's kickin hummies, krushin Gitz and actin like a jerk! He leaves a trail of burning worlds behind him. Abandon all hope and flee for you lives.


WAAAAAAAAGH! GorGak!!!

He has always been my favorite. Great fluff about actually being cunning. He also had a rule that allowed one unit to DS when no ork unit had that ability. His rules actually made his ork army play differently than other possible armies from the codex.

The biggest, meanest, and greenest, this is the only correct answer.

I'll put in another vote for Grizgutz. That story is simply too hilarious.

That said, the Warboss that headbutts a Titan to death is a very close second. Delightful.

Grukk and Tuska
