FORCES OF THE ORKSThis section of the supplement details the

expanded forces used by the Orks theirweapons, the units, and the famous special

characters you can use. Each entry describes

the unit and gives the rules to use them in

your games of Warhammer 40,000.

The Forces of the Orks section is sub-divided

into two parts. The first part describes all of

the troops and vehicles fielded by the Orks,

whilst the second part details the special

characters that lead them. The Ork armoury,

including details and rules for all the brutal

weapons used by the Orks, follows

immediately after.

Unique EquipmentSome items of Ork wargear are unique to

particular units, while others are used by more

than one unit. If an item is unique, it is

detailed in the entry for its owning unit;

otherwise it is detailed in the wargear section.

Decorative ModelsSome Orks have Gretchin or Squig models that

accompany them, such as Grot Styboys or

Banna Wavvas. Though these confer an in-

game advantage to the owner, the models are

purely decorative; hence they have no stat

line, do not take up space in transports, etc. If

they become an issue, simply move them to

one side or remove them altogether.

Ork WargearThe following are optional wargear optionsthat are common to more than one Orkunit:

Big Horns/Iron GobOrk leaders commonly display their prowess byhunting down and killing dangerous beasts.

The creatures they fight against the most arethose with big horns or tusks which can bedisplayed on the Nobs helmet for all the Boyzto see. If such a creature has a disappointinglack of horns or tusks the Ork leader will sporta huge metal jaw instead to show that he hasgot the biggest bite around! If a mob is led by

a Warboss or Nob with either Big Horns or anIron Gob they add +1 to their Leadershipvalue. Any Ork Nob or Warboss may purchaseBig Horns/Iron Gob for +5 points.

Mega BoostaSome mega armoured Orks get extra powerboost units fitted to their suits to ensure thatthey dont miss out on any chances for a fight.If an Ork in mega armour has a mega boostahe is allowed to re-roll his dice for the distancehe moves. Meganobz and Ork Characters inMega Armour may purchase Mega Boostas for+10 points per model.

GUNWAGONSUnlike the Imperium, Orks dont use any kindof fixed template for vehicle design, each

instead being built from whatever salvage andmaterials are to hand. This can result in a

rather ramshackle, but no less effectivecombination. Because of this, Ork wagonscover a massively diverse array of differentOrk vehicles, including Guntrukks andGunwagons.

Every Ork Warboss knows that big guns like

Kannons and Zzap guns are dead good, butthey also know that they must be in the rightposition to be fully effective. To get aroundthis, the Orks have developed Guntrukks. Insome cases they are created by simply bolting

a big gun to the back of an ordinary trukk,while other Guntrukks are kustom-built by theMeks to provide hard-hitting mobile support.

At the heart of many Ork armoured offensivesare hundreds of gunwagons. What

differentiates a gunwagon from a battlewagonis that the gunwagon is designed to carry as

big a gun as possible, while a battlewagon isprimarily an armoured transport. Although no

match for the Leman Russ, Land Raider orPredator, the sheer number of gunwagonspresent in an Ork invasion force makes them apotent threat and more than capable ofbreaking Imperial defenses by weight ofnumbers alone. Each gunwagon is as individualas its crew; some are fitted with Kannons,

others with energy weapons such as the ZzapGun.

The greatest threat that these vehiclesrepresent is the ease with which they can be

manufactured. During a large scale Waaagh!Mekaniaks seem to be able to produce anendless line of Guntrukks and gunwagons.Eliminating the Orks production facilities hasbecome one of the Imperial forces mosturgent tasks.

BOARBOYZFor as long as any Ork can remember the warboar has been a favored mount of the warrior

Ork. It is a fierce and stubborn beast, withsharp tusks, a thick skull, and the odor of thedung heap much like its rider! Although mostOrk tribes, with the notable exception of

followers of the Snakebite clan, now favorbikes, buggies and other mechanicalcontraptions, Feral Orks still rely on the goodold war boar with its familiar smell and violenttemper to carry them into battle.

Ork Boarboyz must first capture a wild boar

and then beat the creature into submission sothat it will let him ride on its back. The Orkbenefits from the speed and ferocity of the

boar, whilst the boar for his part in the bargainis treated to daily gruel, a smelly sty and theoccasional smack on his nozzle with a largestick! Amongst the more advanced tribes, theNobz will take their best boars to the tribes

Meks and Painboy to have them turned into astrange amalgam of animal and machine

known as a cyboar. Basic improvements to theboar involve its tusks being replaced with steelones, the addition of an armoured carapace,and the fitting of wheels or chemical injectors

to increase the boars speed and ferocity.

CyboarThe rider counts as cavalry. A Cyboar isextremely tough, reinforced with steel platesand bionic limbs, has its tusks replaced byblades and has an injection device whichpumps it full of stimulants. Because of thetoughness of the Cyboar and its value ascover, the rider counts as being in Eavy armorand gets a 4+ Armour Save. The bionic

augmentation makes the Cyboar apotentadditional weapon granting the rider anadditional close combat attack. During assaultsand sweeping advances, models mounted on aCyboar that pass through difficult terrain arekilled on 1-3, as the Cyboar has a tendency tobutt rocks and trees.

PIGDOKSWhere normal Ork societies have a smattering

of Meks and Mad Doks these are not evident in

Feral Ork society. Instead they have Orkspecialists known as Pigdoks who specialize inthe training, adaptation and healing of beasts.It has been argued that the Feral Orks lowtechnological base means that their survival isdependent on their effective use of the animalssuch as Boars and Squiggoths.

There is great rivalry between the Boilerboyzand the Pigdoks in Feral Ork tribes. Each feelthat they have the answer to the tribes future;for the Pigdoks the way forward lies withsticking to traditional Orky values, while theBoilerboyz feel that creations powered by their

new steam-powered technology will lead thetribe to power and riches. Being Orks, eachgroup tries to prove its point by creating everbigger and more powerful war machines. Forthe Pigdoks the pinnacles of their art are the

mighty Squiggoth that they breed.

For battle, Pigdoks build special syringes withbig red knobs which can be pressed to injectCyboars with a high dosage of adrenalinestimulant. The effect is to make the beastmore aggressive.

WargearBangstikkBangstikks are long poles with explosivesstrapped to the end and are not the mostprecise of weapons as they are woefullyunbalanced. A Bangstikk counts as aWitchblade.

Grot StyboyA Grot Styboy is adept at tending to Boars andCyboars and can provide valuable assistancefor a Pigdok. A Grot Styboy allows a Pigdoksunit to reroll a single failed dangerous terraintest, removing the Styboy from play.

The Painboyz have discovered medicinal uses for

some Squigs in particular the Hairy Squig. The

Painboy simply applies it to the open wound,

which it holds closed with its tiny, needle-like

teeth. The Painboy holds them, twists its tail off,

leaving the head imbedded in the flesh, repeating

the process until the wound is riveted up. The

Hair Squig then feeds off blood oozing from the

wound, thus keeping it clean and free from

infection. By the time it shrivels and drops off,

the wound has usually healed, leaving a row of

tiny holes on each side of the scar. Stitchedwounds are prized by the Orks as battle scars

and decorative adornments.

HERD SQUIGSHerd squigs have been specially bred and

developed by Runtherds for the purpose of

herding and controlling the herds of runtz.

They are related to the many variety of pet

squigs, but have been selectively bred for their

speed, intelligence, ferocity and endurance.

Their long, sensitive snouts and keen ears

enable them to track down errant Snotlings

and Gretchin wherever they might hide. Herd

squigs are excellent tracking beasts, and can

follow trails which are days old. Runtherds who

own good herd squigs are often hired by local

Nobs to track down missing or lost items of

equipment, though it is virtually a foregone

conclusion that the trail leads to the nearestmob of Lootas.

Their powerful legs and low-slung body enable

the herd squig to move fast and surely over

the roughest terrain. They are tireless workers,

constantly running in circles round the runtz,

nipping the heels of the ones that drop behind,

and chasing the ones that stray back to the

herd.

Runtherds control their herd squigs with a

combination of calls and whistles. A herd

squigs training starts early in its life, and the

repertoire of commands it can understand and

obey increase as it matures. The relation

between a herd squig and its master is very

close, and at times their communication seems

almost empathic. The command system used

by each Runtherd is unique, and it would beimpossible for one Runtherd to command the

herd squigs trained by another Ork.

Flesheaters

In order to increase their wealth, some Orks breed

large, ferocious beasts known as Flesheaters. TheFlesheater has a great, gaping mouth like a

crocodile, full of rows of sharp fangs that are

similar to an Orks canine teeth. Flesheaters

continually shed and replace their teeth and all the

Orks have to do is send a Gretchin in to fetch the

old ones. Needless to say, the Gretchin arent

overly keen on this duty. Like Ork teeth,

Flesheater teeth also deteriorate after a few years.

Not surprisingly, impoverished Orks sometimes

attempt to steal a Flesheater, or even raid rival

settlements to capture them.

MEKBOYZMekaniaks, or Mekboyz, are the technical

engineers and master mechanics of Ork

civilization. Their understanding of the

principles behind the technology they use is

somewhat vague and crude. In fact, Mekboyz

are often as mystified as the rest of the Orks

as to why something theyve put together

actually works (but it usually does). The Meks

have an instinctive talent with machines and

their unlikely creations often work surprisingly

well, though it must be said that there are

often some spectacular accidents and

malfunctions.

Ork weapons are manufactured by Mekaniaks,

which means that their shape, size andappearance can vary greatly depending on

which Mekboy made them and what was going

on in his head at the time. Sometimes (quite

often in fact) a Mekaniak will have a good idea

that he happily imagines will vastly improve an

ordinary weapon, giving it extra range, extra

power, or several shots at the same time

instead of just one. The enthused Mekaniak will

disappear into his work shed for hours or even

days, only re-emerging when he has

completed his magnificent new invention.

Occasionally this process results in a Mekaniak

producing an incredibly effective weapon, but

more often than not the weapon will be flawed

in some small but vital way.

Regardless of the actual effectiveness of the

weapon, a Mek will be so enthusiastic about his

invention that he will be quite unable to admit

to any shortcomings it may have. A Mekaniak

is only too pleased to sell his weapon once it isfinished. These special kustom weapons, as

they are called, are much sought after by Ork

Nobz who are always eager to obtain the best

and newest examples of Orky workmanship

Spannerz

Rather than using Mekboyz as a single unit,

you may allocate each Mekboy to a mob. Only

one Mekboy may be attached to a mob. These

Mekboyz are not Independent and must remain

with their mob. Unattached Mekboyz may not

be used.

Wargear

Super StikkbombzMekboyz cant resist improving something,

even if it makes that something hideously

dangerous in the process. Super stikkbombz

work just like stikkbombz but have an armour

penetration of 10+2D6. If a double is rolled on

the 2D6 the attack is resolved as normal but

the Mekboy using them is also caught in the

explosion. He suffers a wound automatically

but may attempt Armour Save as normal.

Da Mekboyz WorkshopOrk weapons are manufactured by Mekaniaks,

which means that their shape, size and

appearance can vary greatly depending on

which Mekboy made them and what was going

on in his head at the time. Sometimes (quite

often in fact) a Mekaniak will have a good idea

that he happily imagines will vastly improve an

ordinary weapon, giving it extra range, extra

power, or several shots at the same time

instead of just one. The enthused Mekaniak will

disappear into his work shed for hours or even

days, only re-emerging when he has

completed his magnificent new invention.

Occasionally this process results in a Mekaniak

producing an incredibly effective weapon, but

more often than not the weapon will be flawed

in some small but vital way. If there is a

Mekboy attached to a mob, the Nob leading it

may select any of the following kustom jobs:

Kustom Job: BlastaA shoota or slugga with the Blasta kustom jobhas extra heavy duty armour piercing ammo oris radically altered so that it fires a lethalenergy bolt capable of burning througharmour. A Blasta kustom job gives a shoota orslugga an Armour Penetration value of 3 at upto 12 range, increasing its Armour Penetrationvalue to 2 if the target is within 6. However, ashoota or slugga with the Blasta kustom job

gets hot just like a plasma weapon, so on a rollof 1 to Hit the weapon scores a wound on itsfirer; normal Armour Saves apply. The Nobmay purchase Kustom Job: Blasta for +3points

Kustom Job: More Dakka

Mekboyz spend much of their time tinkeringwith weaponry to make it more powerful or

faster to fire. A shoota or slugga with MoreDakka kustomisin becomes twin-linked. TheNob may purchase Kustom Job: More Dakkafor +5 points

Kustom Job: Longer RangeThe Mekboy has improved the design of theweapon, boosting the velocity of its projectile,lightening the ammunition, or using his secretknowledge to improve its range in some way. ALonger Range kustom job adds 6 to the rangeof a Slugga or Shoota. The Nob may purchaseKustom Job: Longer Range for +2 points

Kustom Job: ShootierJust as popular as More Dakka kustom jobs,Shootier weapons use a larger caliber andheavier ammo to give them more punch. AShootier kustom job makes a shoota or sluggaStrength 5 instead of Strength 4. The Nob maypurchase Kustom Job: Shootier for +5 points

Oil Squigs

The body of the Oil Squig exudes a thick, oily black

secretion from its slug-like body, and this

substance is used by the Orks for machine oil. For

spot-oiling jobs, an Ork Mek grabs hold of the Oily

Squig and squeezes it hard, spurting the oil

excretion directly where lubrication is required (of

course, if he accidentally holts it the wrong way

round). As large quantities of oil are needed

when the Orks are on campaign, barrels of the

stuff are prepared in advance and taken with

them. The most efficient way of extracting the oil

from the squigs is to use a large pressing machine.

The alternative method is for the squigs to be put

in a large barrel and for Gretchin to burst them

open by jumping up and down on them. Using this

old-fashioned method, a lot of oil is wasted but the

sight of the poor Gretchin slipping and sliding

around in the black goo gives the Orks a goodlaugh.

SQUIGGOTHSquiggoths are large creatures that arenormally hunted down by Orks as food. FeralOrks see the great beasts as more than simplyfood and also use them in battle. Squiggothsdont normally grow much bigger than a bull,but with the right fungus nutrients and tenderloving care they can reach house-sized or evenbigger! Really large Squiggoths are highly

valued not just for the carnage they can causein battle but also for the prestige that theybring their tribe.

When the tribe marches off to war they areaccompanied by the trumpeting calls and thethunderous tread of the mighty Squiggoths. In

battle the Pigdok who nurtured the creaturewill sit proudly high up on the swayingcarapace on its back, bellowing as thescurrying gun crews load and fire their guns,wincing as the odd Grot or Ork loses its gripand plummets out of the tower. Squiggoths aredeadly in close combat, trampling foot troopsand goring tanks with their huge tusks. They

are hard to kill, as their thick hide, awesomeconstitution and dull nervous system shieldsthem from all but the most hideous wounds.

The only real problem with the creatures isthat when they finally realize they are hurt or,indeed, dead they tend to panic and rampagearound until they finally keel over. This is

especially true of the most gargantuanSquiggoths who are capable of rampagingaround for almost ten minutes even afterhaving suffered a mortal wound which can bemore than a little bit dangerous any troopswho happen to be in the way.

SKARBOYZSkarboyz are veteran warriors who bear the

scars of dozens of battles. These Orks have

grown exceptionally big and strong and havebrawn, gnarled arms bulging with slabs ofmuscle from fighting in numerous conflicts. Assuch, prolonged periods of conflict lead to anincrease in the size and strength of Orks. Suchgroups of Orks are much more likely to befiercer in combat; more aggressive and shorttempered; impatient and less likely to employranged weaponry with any noticeable effect.

Skarboyz experience in combat makes them avaluable commodity in any Ork warband, oftenleading from the front and tackling thetoughest of foes. Of course every Skarboy in

the mob is also looking for an opportunity tooust the Nob in charge and take controlthemselves. This is the Orky way and any Nobweak or foolish enough to be overthrown byone of his own Boyz has no reason to

complain. Might is right and nothing elsematters.

If one of the Boyz thinks hes strong enough,

he will challenge the Nob to fight for their

position. Before he makes the challenge, thecontender will put on extra weight and muscleand develop an even more aggressive attitude.Sharp-eyed Nobz will notice this and give theupstart a good kicking before he literally getsToo big fer is boots. If the development ofthe younger Ork goes unnoticed, they willeventually challenge the Nob to a pit fight. Forthe Orks, these are public spectacles, fought inpits that litter Ork settlement. The gods willdecide the winner.

Pit fights are brutal affairs, as many are foughtonly with teeth and claws or maybe a knife or

some knuckle dusters. The two Orks will beprimed up for the fight for days, even weeks inadvance, and the battle may last a long time,depending on how well developed thecontender has become. It is common for the

loser of a pit fight to be killed or very savagelymauled.

pounded at his ears like a tribe of insane

There was a flash and roar a split second before

Grubnatz found himself hurled to the ground. A

series of raucous explosions followed, rubble

and dust flew from the walls with each

concussion. Smoke and flames were snaking

through the ruins as the boyz clambered to their

feet. Skabsnik was incautious enough to stand

WILDBOYZAll Orks give off spores which are dispersed on

the wind. A few of these spores may fall into

remote zones on a planets surface, the densejungles or dry arid plains, places where mostcivilization finds it difficult to survive. Thespores rapidly infest the area and grow withoutthe threat of discovery. Over a relatively shortperiod of time, these spores will mature intofull-grown Orks. In order to survive the harshhabitats in which they live, many grouptogether in large mobs. These gangs of Orksrely on strength in numbers to protectthemselves and are usually armed with themost basic primitive weaponry, such as clubsand spears and bows. Competition within thegangs is fierce as food and supplies are

limited. Only the strongest will acquire the bestweapons and gain the larger portions of thekills.

An Ork raiding party will often come across

these small communities of Orks that have

spored up away from the larger tribes. The Ork

raiding party will bring these wild Orks back to

the tribe where over a period of time they willbe taught the proper Orky way. However,before they are truly accepted in the tribe theymust prove their strength in battle, while theyare still new to the marvels of Ork Kultur.

Though they havent really got the hang ofusing shootas and stikkbombs, theyre morethan willing to have a go at the enemy. An Orkwarlord will often bring some of his Wildboyzalong to a battle so that they can have somefun and get a bit of experience at the sametime. The Nobz always keep a special eye onthe Wildboyz and make sure that they dont do

anything too impetuous like running throughminefields or standing around in the open.After the battle the Wildboyz who have donewell are rewarded and allowed to join theranks of the Boyz mobs.

BAD DOKSOrks who specialize in the treatment of wounds

and patching up their mates after a battle are

known as Painboyz. Painboyz are willing todelve into the most hideous wounds. Therearent many bits of an Ork which they cantstitch, tie, or rivet back together. Anestheticsarent used as the Painboyz like to hear thescreams of their patients so they know theyrestill alive and kicking.

Painboyz are so-called because of theirfascination with pain-not just with the agony ofother Orks, but with their own pain as well.Painboyz are always trying to find out howmuch pain they can endure, and are evenwilling to experiment on themselves. Painboyz

have been known to let their Gretchin orderliesperform surgery and bionic implants on theirmasters, usually under the supervision of thepatient himself. During these operations, thePainboy is strapped down and the Gretchin set

to work, letting their master see what is goingon by holding up a mirror. Many Orks think thePainboyz are deranged (though this is

undoubtedly an understatement). Its only fair

to see it from the Painboyzs point of view: if

youve just invented the best bionic bits yet,you should also be the first to have themfitted. (Stands to reason, dunnit?)

Still, eccentricity of the Painboy is nothingcompared to that of a Bad Dok. These exiledPainboyz are outcasts from their tribes whopractice extensive and unnecessary surgeryupon their prey. Their patients can findthemselves in possession of a set ofmechanical lungs, sporting an extra head orlimb, or even victims of the dreaded SquigBrain Transplant. Though Bad Doks never askfor payment, the price of seeking them out is

high.

ZODGROD WORTSNAGGAZodgrod Wortsnagga is one of the most famousRuntherdz in the whole of Orkdom. He started

his career as a member of Ugulhardz Chargerz,a ferocious Snakebite tribe led by thereactionary old Warboss called UgulhardzDuffgrunta. Zodgrod was in charge of theSnotlings that were dispatched through theChargerz' Shokk Attack Gun, and before long heand his specially trained Herd of KommandoSnotlings began to earn a certain amount offame and notoriety.

As time went on, however, Zodgrod becamemore and more loath to waste his highly trainedSnotlings on anything other than choice targets.This reached a head at the battle of Gimbli'sBunker, when Zodgrod completely lost histemper with the Mekaniak who operated theShokk Attack Gun and ended up firing theunfortunate Mekaniak through his own gun! Thiswas a terminal experience for the Mekaniak andvery nearly cost the Chargerz the battle, and notsurprisingly Zodgrod was promptly banishedfrom the tribe once the battle was over.

Zodgrod left the tribe accompanied only by hisherd of faithful Runts, and wandered the galaxy,

selling his services to the highest bidder. Duringhis travels he came across a set of dusty tomesthat detailed the discoveries of a derangedRuntherd philosopher called Naflug, who haddevised a unique way training Runts to a higherlevel of performance, creating what he called"Super-Runts".

Zodgrod copied Naflug's techniques, whichinvolved ringing bells and rewarding the Runtswith juicy squigs among other things, and theresults were nothing short of remarkable! TheSuper-Runts performed better and weregenerally more aggressive and dangerous. Thisalarmed most traditionally-minded Orks, whoviewed Zodgrod's Super-Runts as a threat to thestability of Ork Kultur, but there were still morethan enough Warbosses who were desperate orreckless enough to hire Zodgrod and try out hisdreaded Super-Runts in battle.

In addition, Zodgrod will never allow superruntz to clear a mine field because they are fartoo precious!

Dark Angels themselves suffered a string ofbitter defeats at the hands at the hands of the

Ork horde.
