Waste World: Orkz

These are the fungoid orks from Warhammer 40K - specifically, from Gorkamorka. If you have to ask what they're doing in Waste World, you may be playing the wrong game.

Ork Boyz
DXSTINPWLFMRAR
0+10-11252
Disadvantages: Negative Appearance (Ugly), Megalomania (Mild), Overconfidence (Mild)
Advantages: Fast Healing, Hardy, Immune to Disease, Immune to Poison
Special Powers: Armor (AR 2), Dark Sight, Fangs

Description
Powerfully-built humanoid xenogens with minimal body hair, heavy tusk-like fangs, and dull green skin. Orks tend to be ultraviolent and agressive, and often seem stupid due tho their direct ("Kill 'em al an' let Gork sort 'em out!") approach to life. Their lives in the Great Northern wastes are much like those of more conventional Skavenger groups, and they have adopted similar manners of dress and weapons. Hide armor, big guns (which they call "shootas"), and deathtrap-looking vehicles are especial favorites.

Ork Nobz

DXSTINPWLFMRAR
+1+2 - +30-114 - 1662
Disadvantages: Negative Appearance (Ugly), Megalomania (Mild), Overconfidence (Mild)
Advantages: Fast Healing, Immune to Disease, Immune to Poison
Special Powers: Armor (AR 2), Dark Sight, Fangs

Description
Orks respect strength (and very little else), and the Ork Nobz get respect because they are strong. Nobz serve as leaders in Ork mobs, and answer only to stronger Nobz and the Warboss. Physically they resemble ordinary Ork Boyz, but are somewhat larger and even more heavily muscled.

Warboss

DXSTINPWLFMRAR
+1+4001883
Disadvantages: Negative Appearance (Ugly), Megalomania (Mild), Overconfidence (Mild)
Advantages: Fast Healing, Hardy, Immune to Disease, Immune to Poison
Special Powers: Armor (AR 3), Dark Sight, Fangs, Giant

In Ork mobs, somebody is the undisputed leader because he is the strongest, most cunning, and most savage of them all. That somebody is the Ork Warboss. Superficially resembling other Orks, the Warboss literally stands head and shoulders above the others.

Quick Mobs

To generate a quick mob, give all Orks in the mob the skills and equipment of the Skavenger template in Waste World Lite. Ork Boyz have a 0-1 in all skills (flip a coin or decide), Ork Nobz have 1d3 in all skills, and Warbosses have 1d6. If desired, replace Drive (Wheeled Bike) with Drive (Wheeled Car) or a Heavy Weapon skill.
