Da Iron Horde

Hannibal (Big Mek): The leader of the iron Horde. Hannibal was a regular nob regaled to ship building when a shard of the space hulk fell from the sky. His natural Mek instincts have since gone into a frenzy. He is constantly making creations, and is rising though the ork ranks to create his own army using cunning over brute force.

IronGore (Tankbuster Boss/Demolitions expert): Once a nob for boss Skull Eater, IronGore was captured during a fight with Nerozz da Ugly, and was forced to fight in an arena for years. He was freed by Hannibal, and has pledged his service to him for it.

Guts da Vagabond (Kommando Boss): After an unsuccessful attempt attempting to take down Nerozz da Ugly, Guts had his eye gouged, and retreated into the forest with some of his boys. He survived through years of being constantly hunted. Hannibal recruited him to help take down Nerozz, and Guts has been a valuable part of his army ever since.

Ace Blackblood (Flash Git Boss): Once part of Nerozz da Ugly's honor guard, Ace was assigned to lead the next boat invasion of the mainland (a certain death). Hannibal recruited him soon after, promising him a much brighter future. His keen aim has proven a valuable asset.

Gort Badstomp (Boss Nob): Head of Nerozz da Ugly's honor guard, Gort attempted to step in during the duel between Hannibal and Nerozz. Hannibal defeated him, and as a result Gort's hands were rendered useless. In a poor situation, Gort was forced to stay with Hannibal. Not one to waste good talent, Hannibal has used Gort to command the assembly line, and on the battlefield, giving him a pair of power claws for battlefield use.

WAAAGH BadToof

Gorgrim BadToof Gorgrim has more Gork than Mork in him, and likes tech that involves big booms and heavy hits. He wields a looted thunder hammer, and a speshul shoota that is a shoota-scorcha, IE it kan shoot da flames an' da dakka. Gorgrim also has a liking for his boss pole, so any notable kills he gets are going to be put on that.

Glotzinga da Mad Dok Glotzinga is a bit crazy, like any mek, and will gladly attach a living grot to an ork as a prosthetic limb if he thinks it's an improvement. He's also the only ork in the Waagh that can talk a little smack to Gorgrim without getting killed for it, so long as it's just insults under his breath, and not an open challenge.

Grizby da Grot Grizby is Gorgrim's personal grot, and spends most of his time getting smacked by Gorgrim or hanging out in Gorgrim's trukk, before it got destroyed. A sneaky git, to be sure, and smart enough to not be near Gorgrim when he's mad. Or Glotzinga at all, come to think of it.

Killrod da Deff Dread, a veeeeeeeery old Deff Dread who sees potential in Gorgrim. He has a grudge against Gorehound da Cook, and also can have a bit of short term memory loss sometimes. Like a dreadnought, but a lot angrier and stompier, personality wise.

Nogrod and his gargantuan spider mount were slain by Shas’O Skyhunter

Neroz Da Ugly (Deceased): Neroz was called the Ugly because his face is held together by thick metal staples, he constantly reopens the wounds to keep up his gruesome appearance.

KoreGog Da Bloody (Deceased): KoreGog thought blood was the single most beautiful adornment any ork could wear, KoreGog was fond of constantly rubbing his face in fresh gore. KoreGog head of the Jorgan Orks met his end when a very special Tyranid Lictor infiltrated his camp and slaughtered him.

Kernal BloodKill “Da Kernal”: A former Ork Kommando who has a mind for greater strategy. BloodKill thinks himself a master strategist and feels he must dress the part; he wears a massive blue coat that is a mockery of those worn by Captains in the Imperial navy, and a right snazzy hat.

Gorehound Da Cook: GoreHound da Fat is what many call him as this ork is a glutton he is known to eat a human as a snack. GoreHound doesn’t care what or who he eats so long as the poor creature died by his hands.

Mek Slabkill: A proper Mek is hard to come by on Crion or its moons. Slabkill a Bad Moon saw his unique talents as a perfect business opportunity, the ork sells his kustom creations for top dollar (Or Tooth) to the various other war bosses around Crion. If you see a nob with a half decent firearm, it is quite likely it came from Slabkill. Slabkill has a small army of ork mercenaries protecting him but for what they lack in numbers they more than make up for in firepower. Slabkill even has access to a looted Thunderhawk gunship that he assembled from bitz and pieces found in pilfered Blood Dragon ruins.

Dok Kavorkoz “Boot Brain”: There was a legend that Dok Kavorkoz replaced his brain with a boot these rumors began to annoy Kavorkoz so he proved he didn’t by sawing off the top half of his scalp and skull and showing his army of followers that a brain resided in there. Kavorkoz replaced the missing section of skull with large slab of Adamentium taken from a Blood Dragon ruin. However, Kavorkoz has only grown madder since this act as parasites and mold have found their way to his brain and have embedded themselves there. It is rumored that the Pain Boss has cemented an alliance with the mysterious Big Boss.

Kavorkoz’s Monster “MadKan”: After stumbling across an unoccupied suit of Dreadnought armor in a Blood Dragon ruin Dok Kavorkoz had an idea. Kavorkoz found a poor less than willing test subject and with the help of Mek Slabkill the Dok implanted the ork into the suit of dreadnought plate. When the nob awoke from surgery he found his world was nothing but pain and went berserk destroying the dok’s lab. Realizing he could not control his creation Kavorkoz banished his creation to Zike. Once unleashed on Zike the creation went wherever it could find a fight and slaughtered everything it came across. Eventually the many of the local orks began following the monster and began to dub it MadKan. The orks had come to form da cult of MadKan viewing the creation as a herald of Gork. Though the ork cultists still followed the beast from far away. Eventually MadKan learned not to attack his followers and after that learned to talk to them, though MadKan often has sudden flashes of old pain and memories, not all of the pain and memories are his however.

Zogface Gitburn: Gitburn is an arsonist, he dreams of one day seeing all of Crion in a glorious blaze. The ork wears a welding mask that he will only flip up for the occasional booze, food, and smokes.
