About
Unit Description
Black Orcs don’t often fight solo, but their obsession with killing things means some willingly end up as one-Orc armies.
Historical Description
The Black Orcs who reach the upper echelons of their brutal martial hierarchies pride themselves on being the best fighters found anywhere in the Greenskin tribes. In reality, tribes exclusive to the war-obsessed Black Orcs are rare and it is often the case that smaller Black Orc bands work their way into the other Greenskin tribes – but only serving others when the purpose suits them. More often than not, when the pickings are rich they will stay and work towards supplanting the tribe’s current leaders. Being the biggest and toughest fighters, it usually isn’t long before Black Orcs are no longer following orders, but beginning to issue their own as the undisputed Warbosses and Big Bosses of all they survey. Like lesser Black Orcs, the elites amongst their kind don heavy armour and ironshod boots while brandishing ‘eavy choppas’. Uncharacteristically for Greenskins, they take great care in repairing and sharpening their war equipment between battles, eschewing the usual post-battle activities indulged in by Goblins and regular Orcs such as skull-stacking contests, punch-ups, and other indulgences of frivolous debauchery.
