Da Bloody Bladez

A varient of Da Bloody Bladez' Klan icon

(To be added)

**Da Bloody Bladez** are an infamous Ork Klan in the very galactic West, out beyond the Eye of Terror, in the Halo Stars, where they have taken control of a small system, and from which they base raids into Imperial space to find more and more brutal ways to win their wars. They are known for fielding large numbers of Squigs, ravenous members of the Orkoid race commonly utilised by the Klan as advance shock troops.

## History

Orks have inhabited the Halo Stars for millennia, but Da Bloody Bladez is one of the youngest Klans in that region, their appearance only showing up in Imperial records around 200.M40.

### First appearance

Da Bloody Bladez first worked their way into Imperial records in the early 200s M40. They fought the forces of the Angels Eradicant around the Eye of Terror, before being driven back to their home out in the Halo Stars. This was the beginning of several attacks into Imperial space.

### Battle for Kilnerth

Several tribes of Da Bloody Bladez attacked a planet in the fringes of Imperial space, to the galactic north of the Eye, known as Kilnerth in 659.M41. After several long, hard days of battle, the planet's Imperial Guard regiments were defeated, and several, including the 31st Tank Regiment and the 201st "Bravehearts", were destroyed. The planet was taken over by the Orks, and the remaining few native regiments were slowly wiped out due to a lack of reinforcements. The Orks left the planet to fall to ruin after almost a century of inhabiting it, in 734.M41.

### WAAAGH! Beekiekrumpah

While the Klan was still inhabiting the planet of Kilnerth a huge WAAAGH! broke out, lead by the Warlord Beekiekrumpah. The crusade into Imperial space lasted only as long as it took the Deathwatch to show up to stop it, a handful of shots from the veteran Vretial Tririas killing the Warboss and ending the foul war prematurely. Unfortunately during this Waaagh, Kilnerth was abandoned and left for Mankind to return to, but they kept on going for many months after the planet was lost.

### The Era of the Fake Warbosses

After the untimely death of Beekiekrumpah at the hands of a Deathwatch sharpshooter, the Klan fell into disarray, as dozens of Bosses were vying to be the next Warboss to lead another devastating Waaagh, as such, the Klan split drastically, as more and more contenders arose and took yet more of the Greenskins with them, some even going as far as claiming to be Beekiekrumpah himself, and others claiming to be prophets of Gork and Mork. The Klan was decimated, and eventually each Boss was killed by his own Boyz, leaving a vacuum that would take an Ork of incredible power to fill.

### The Rise of Da Empire

After the abandoment of Kilnerth, the Klan began wandering, fighting amongst themselves as the fake Warbosses tried to gather more and more influence and never able to pick up the momentum for another Waaagh to truly cement themselves as a Great Klan. They disappeared from Imperial records for almost 2 centuries, and were thought wiped out by all but a handful of less orthodox Rogue Traders out in the Halo Stars, who reported waves of Squigs falling upon cities backed by towering Orks in shiny silver armour and gubbins. It was not until a distress signal from a ship that appeared to be xenos in origin was picked up and deciphered by an Imperial outpost in the far reaches of the galaxy. It told of an Empire unlike many of the other myriad Empires through these far reaches of the galaxy, built on the bones and blood of the exterminated xenos who originally inhabited the system. It was now Da Bloody Bladez had cemented themselves as a true Ork Empire, and their anticipation for a Waaagh could be felt through the Halo Stars.

## Notable Formations

### Squigalanche

Da Bloody Bladez make extreme use of Squigs, simple Orkoid life-forms to overwhelm their foe, and provide tasty post-battle snacks. The little beasts are able to totally overwhelm basically any foe, before the Boyz storm in with their ramshackle vehicles to pick the battlefield clean of loot and to destroy any remaining resistance. While not the preferred fighting method by most Klans, da Bloody Bladez see it as a perfect opportunity to fatten up their food before they munch down.

### Speed Waaagh

While da Bloody Bladez haven't had a true Waaagh since Beekiekrumpah, on multiple occasions large groups of silver and red Orkish vehicles have been found racing around desert planets deep within the Halo Stars, destroying all in their wake under the wheels of Dragstas and Trukks, and leaving only fire and rubble behind, the loot making it a prime target for pirates or later Ork attacks.

## Notable Bloody Bladez

### "Da Great Warboss" Beekiekrumpah

Beekiekrumpah is revered in the Klan's Kulture as the only Boss ever to organise them for a propa' scrap. There have been many Orks later claiming to be the infamous Warboss reborn, and while some have almost succeeded in pushing the Klan to Waaagh, they have all eventually been killed by their own Boyz.

### Da Fake Prophet Crownbreaka

Crownbreaka is arguably the most renowned of the fake Warbosses, and definitely the most influential. He was the Nob to find Beekiekrumpah's body, his head blown off by bolt rounds, and upon this discovery lead the push against the Imperial forces arrayed against him. He was briefly able to keep the Klan under his banner, but it didn't take long before Nobz started to betray him, going their own ways as fearsome Bosses in their own right, and leaving the now dwindling Waaagh. This started Crownbreaka's slow descent into insanity, in which he attempted, unsuccessfully, to reunite the Klan under his banner. He claimed to be a Prophet of the great Ork God Gork, and his brutal nature lead many to believe his tale until he was ultimately killed by a rabble of his own Boyz.

### Boss Skarok da Gobfilla

Skarok da Gobfilla is the current Boss of da Bloody Bladez, and has proved his worth in helping the Klan to prosper like they haven't since the days of "Da Great Warboss". Their numbers have increased tenfold since he krumped his predecessor and he has lead them to many good scraps and loot. He is a behemoth of a Greenskin, and joins battle accompanied by his Attack Squig, "Mouthy Grunt". Tales of his cunnin' but brutal ways have made their way outside of the Klan, and whispers of another great Waaagh are abound, and with the Klan in numbers never seen before, and resources galore, who can say what devastation they could wreak upon the galaxy?

## Bloody Bladez Tactics

Da Bloody Bladez are unique in Ork society for the large amount of Squigs they throw at their foes before a battle. While some Klans may see this as a waste of food, and a waste of a good scrap, da Bloody Bladez see it as merely fattening up their meal before they eat. Once the Squigs have torn through the enemy lines, the Boyz rush forwards with their Trukks and Battlewagons, to really get the fight going. Meks are thought of incredibly highly in the Klan, and a good Mek can command almost as much respect as a particularly fighty Boss. Those battles backed by such influential Meks can be identified by the incredible constructs that are bought to bear to bring low the foe, ranging from Gorkanoughts to Stompas. Such assaults will also often result in more Gretchins on the battlefield, as the crews of the vehicles join in the fighting, only to be trampled underfoot by Orks or Squigs, or to be flattened by their own vehicles.

## Klan Appearance

### Klan Colours

For da Bloody Bladez, red is a colour that symbolises rank and influence, with the bigger Orks bullying smaller ones for their red armour. The Bosses of the Klan will also often paint their faces and body red in both an attempt to show off their tremendous power and scare the foe. It is unknown where this particular element of their Kulture comes from, but it is speculated that it may be the result of Beekiekrumpah's almost entirely red armour.

### Klan Totem

Their logo is simple, as is common amongst Orks and features an Ork skull with the red warpaint their Klan is so fond of.
