Redclaw's Killas have only a short history in the crucible of war that is Armageddon. Da Red Klaws were formed from a might clash between the ork horde of Gorja the Great and the 444th Mordian garrisoned at the Pyth's Gorge refinery complex. The Mordian troops under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Myers defended the station vigorously, using their ancestral knowledge of the Orks to not only hold them but push them back and break the horde.
Almost all the Orks fled. All but those who would become part of Redclaw's Killas...
Those who remained were either too stubborn or stupid to retreat.
One such ork, Redclaw himself ambushed and slaughtered patrol after patrol in the dark depths of the refinery complex. Eventually, his presence became known and he was forced deeper and deeper into the refinery complex. The Mordian forces chasing him never relented but gradually Redclaw became smarter and more cunning, using the shadows to elude his pursuers he broke into the maintenance tunnels and circled back to the main body of the camp. Redclaw spent 3 days collecting the components for his next move, he concocted a virulent poison from the bodies of decomposing orks and various unfortunate squigs and gretchin he found still alive, once it was complete he crept into the food storage and poisoned everything he could. His work done he retreated and waited as the poison took hold and killed everyone who ate it. The regiment was crippled and due to lack of food soon became starved and dehydrated. Eventually Reclaw sought out and butchered Lieutenant-Colonel Myers and his command squad.
The other members of Redlaw's Killas made their names setting booby traps or burning entire squads alive in vicious ambushes. Stikks, an ex-tankbuster before the battle, wandered the refinery planting booby traps and trips wires as he went, the main result of that effort was the destruction of the entire refinery 40 days after Redclaw's Killas had left after the remnants of Gorja the Great's horde swarmed the remnants of the 444th and set off a trap located right next to the promethium storage tanks.
Neither Stikks 'nor the rest of Da Redclaw Killas ever learnt of this.
