Bomb Go Bomb!

 Time… Time was ticking… Forever slower, colder, harsher… Stugbrod, grimacing in his quarters, raises a fist with intent to slam it onto the wall, pausing for a brief moment, and then releases an almighty cry of anguish, his clenched hand slamming onto the metallic sheet to his right. The Targeting Squig on his shoulder shuffles a little as the muscles on Stugbrod’s body ripple with the deadly force of his rage.


“I. HATE. HOOMIES!” He growled in a blood curdling fashion, teefs grinding together, making his make-believe dentist cry. “I need me som’ of dem shiny rock things… Der Blackstone Rocky’s I thinks dey iz called?” Fist unclenching a little, the Waaagh!Boss takes in a deep breath and exhales in such a way that would make others question the capacity of his breathing bags.


A knock on his quarters door causes the BeastBoss to spin his head swiftly, almost giving himself whiplash, he winces and proceeds to saunter towards the entrance. With a slightly jagged opening, one of the Boyz is slouched in front of the entranceway,  picking his nose and itching his arse. Initially, the Boy didn’t react to the door being opened, however, after Stugbrod clamped his Beast Snagga Klaw around the Boyz neck, his attention was fully his.


“-E foun’ som’ of dem sh--ny bla-sto- t’ings on a pla-et near us Boss…” Whimpered the Boy, struggling to get the words out whilst having his oesophagus crushed. The colour in his face was appearing to drain, the BeastBoss not loosening his grip at all.


“Get Nav’ on itz an’ make it snappy before I snaps your puny neck…” Stugbrod scowled, releasing the Boy and turning around to return to his quarters. This BeastBoss was in a foul mood, and not a lot could be done to alleviate his sheer ferociousness in the immediate now. He hated being beaten down, especially by hoomies…


Tapping on a communicator within his personal quarters, Stugbrod gets through to Zagblad, “I iz madder den mad Zag, so madz… Got any of dem Squigs lying aroun’ tha’ I could kick about the deck?” He asks with a small gleen of hope for some degree of minor entertainment.


“Stug, you knowz I ‘az  ‘em, dey just keep on comin’” Responds an entertained sounding fellow BeastBoss, just one who prefers to be mounted upon a Squigosaur. Zagblad chuckles a little, punting one of the Squigs himself, Squigball really should be a sport on the deck somewhen…


Suddenly, red lights start to pulsate within the vessel that the Orks have apprehended, bringing all the main Bosses together at the quartermaster’s post. They wrestle between them for front position at the terminal, heads peering toward the large dirtied screen, merely inches away… (Again, totally nothing to do with poor eyesight… No…) Somewhere in their vicinity, they could hear a MadLad cackling to himself, holding two boomsticks in his hands, one in each, and slowly making them pass each other with varying sound effects, almost as if he were mimicking some sort of payload thing…?

“Dere! Dat’s where dere be moar blackstones!” Exclaimed Snikrat, pointing toward a planet that he didn’t realise they were already orbiting. “An’ der be no hoomies ‘ere Stug!” He continued, remembering how enraged the Waaagh!Boss was not too long ago from their previous defeat. He glances towards the BeastBoss, a gleam of excitement darts across his face, “An’ you knows whats better’ dan Squigball? Robo-Bashin’!” Spotting what appears to be the gleam of bronze metallic plates shrouded together with an aura of neon green.


Both Zagblad and Stugbrod’s faces bore teefy grins, their fists repeatedly clashing against the palms of their hands. The deck started to become busy with bodies, Boyz and Nobz alike, rushing back and forth, retrieving their most favoured of weaponry, the Squighog riderz saddling up their respective mounts, followed by the immense roar of a Tramplasquig which was rearing to pull it’s carriage ready to enjoy the rampage.


Coming down to the planet’s surface, Stugbrod stood fast, allowing the boyz to charge ahead in their various mobs. The Waaagh!Boss decided he would lead Dem Sneaky Gitz from within the HuntaRig, Zagblad charged on forward with Da Hoof Stompas, and Snikrat found himself leading Da Ice Breakerz, pushing an oversized timebomb that was destined for Shiny-Robo land.


As before, the battle was fierce, dem robos were numerous in bodies, and for som’ weird reason, even if you’d smashed one, dey just kept gettin’ back up?! They had some super shooty bots, firing upon many if not all of the Ork units, plucking them off one by one, until eventually, Snikrat was the last lad standin’...


He was about to push the big bomb into the enemy, but he was apprehended by some’ stupid flyin’ robo-kopterz which interrupted his momentum for pushing the payload. He had no ranged capabilities, only his Beast Snagga Klaw, an’ with that, he tried a final stand. After many a duck, dive,  and dander, Snikrat eventually fell after many attempts from the Shiny-Robos…


Shiny-Robos… We will crump you… Eventually…


A True Blue Bombardment

 “Boss- Boss- Boss-!” Grunted one of the many boyz within Da Blue Boyz clan.


“Huh?” Da biggest, bestest boss EVER sneered.


“Dem hoomies  be lookin’ for d’ose blackstone rockies ‘n der ‘ariah Nexush! '' The Boy exclaimed, arms flailing in the ice-cold air.


With his attention now focused on the scrawny boy, Stugbrod grins with a toothy smile, his teefs stained like the colour of dried bone, dusted with a light coating of congealed flesh. “Tell me moar!” He grumbles from the depths of his throat, his voice hoarse and raspy. Cowering a little, the boy from what looks to be from Da Ice Breakerz , obeys his Beastboss and looks around to find a chart on a very dirty screen, smeared with grime, and points toward the system to which this lad had found info for. 


Rising from his seat, Stugbrod leans in closer to the screen, the targeting squig perched on his shoulder, its eye darting its focus on varying points. (As we probably all know, Orks aren’t the best when it comes to shooting, or rather, as they don’t clearly state often, they actually can’t see very well… But they don’t believe that’s true… Right…?) Grunting, his jaw chatters a little, as he stomps away a couple of paces heading toward the hull of the vessel they happen to be boarded upon.

“Seems to me dat we ‘ave som’ of dem zappy doo-dads to deal wid, an’ ‘opefully-” He suddenly coughs, almost as if he were choking, and spits out a bone from his lunchum, continuing as if nothing had happened, “An’ ‘opefully we can krump some skullz an’ spill som’ gutz!” Grabbing his Beastchoppa, Beastboss Stugbrod da’Ard walks over toward one of dem noise catchers, taps it with his claw, -clunk- clunk-, takes in a big breath and roars, “WAAAGH!!!”




Arriving at the zappy doo-dads, Stugbrod gets his bestest, meanest, and not-so-greenest, bosses in. Zagblad and Snikrat. Now these ladz are the proper job when it comes to talkin’ taktiks. No-nobz better. Zagblad’s Squigosaur, ‘Edchompa, often when not being ridden, will just terrorise Gretchin and Grots alike, treating them like little snacks when he gets a case of the dreaded munchies. Snikrat however will often, when not in a Waaagh! meetings, can be found Doktorin’ on the Gretchin and Grots himself, so more than frequently is getting up to no good.


After the big boyz concoct their plan, they depart from their vessel, stepping onto this grassy area, grass feels weird, not slimy and tough like rocks and dirt, urgh, almost soft. The zappy doo-dads ahead of them, and what appears to be golden hoomies!


It's krumping time!


The battle was fraught with stabbin’, screamin’, slashin’, and cleavin’ but not to the Orks' favour… Boyz left, right, and centre were blitzed to pieces, and Snikrat couldn't Doktor all of them back together again… It was a slaughter, Ork blood was strewn across the entire battlefield, a couple of Squighogs without their riders managed to stride away but nothing was left… Stugbrod, bruised and ashamed groaned in defeat… Dem golden hoomies won't survive next time, not by far…
