All About the Ork Clans: A Savage Guide to War – Part 2

Title: The Blood Axes and Bad Moons: A Contrast of Cunning and Brute Force

Welcome back, faithful followers of Warhammer 40,000, to our immersive exploration of the sprawling universe and its diverse denizens. In today’s post, we delve into the gritty world of Orks, focusing on two distinctive clans: the stealthy Blood Axes and the boisterous Bad Moons.

The Blood Axes, often branded as less “Orky” by their peers, are renowned for their strategic cunning. They have a penchant for Imperial technology, integrating it into their war machines and battle wagons. Warboss Badf Frag is a prime example. This seasoned Tank Ace, a part of The Face Ripper group, has spent most of his life spewing fire from his modified Mars pattern Chimera. He relishes the thrill of battle, always seeking to expand his collection of battle wagons. His love for crude firepower was on full display in the Imperial world of Phenos 9, where he led a crushing assault across an ancient energy bridge, leaving a trail of Imperial machinery in his wake.

In stark contrast to the Tank Boss’s flamboyant style is Boss Snikrot, the silent stalker. Snikrot is a ruthless Orc commando, leading the enigmatic Red Skull Commandos. His tales are whispered amongst the Armageddon Orc Hunters, painting a picture of a ghost who glides through jungles, leaving a trail of victims in his wake. Striking from the shadows, Snikrot embodies the stealth and subtlety of the Blood Axes.

The Blood Axes’ unique approach to warfare, including their use of subdued camouflage, often invites ridicule from other clans. Yet, they carry on, responding with a crooked grin and a fistful of teeth from their heckler. They wear their camouflage with pride, an expression of their belief that they are invisible to their enemies. Their fondness for Imperial dog tags and badges, used solely as decorations, further sets them apart in the Orc society.

Moving on to the Bad Moons, this clan is a stark contrast to the Blood Axes. Boasting polished, gold-plated armor and pockets brimming with teeth, they embody a more traditional image of Orcs. These swindlers would sooner train a Squig to assemble a Stomper than sell you something at a fair price. But one cannot deny their invaluable role in the Orc society.

The Bad Moons, with their rapidly growing teeth, serve as a vital cog in the Ork economy. They are also technologically advanced, having gained access to alien technology through secret alliances. This tech-savviness, combined with their wealth, allows them to equip their clan with long-ranged weapons and strong armor, making them a formidable force on the battlefield.

So there you have it – a glimpse into the divergent worlds of the Blood Axes and the Bad Moons. On one hand, you have the strategic Blood Axes, leveraging Imperial technology and cunning tactics to their advantage. On the other, you have the boisterous Bad Moons, flaunting their wealth and technological prowess. Stay tuned for our next post, where we delve deeper into the fascinating world of Warhammer 40,000.
