* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: His many similarities to Grimgor Ironhide, such as his missing eye, broken teeth, leading the toughest orruks, massive size, dangerous addiction to fighting and being the mortal representative of Gork has not gone unnoticed by fans. His lore even mentions that his dual-wielded axes were once part of a bigger magical axe, unusually similar to Grimgor's Gitsnik. Although if he is actually Grimgor reincarnated or just a Boss who happens to be ''very'' similar has yet to be seen.

!!!Gordrakk, Fist of Gork

The biggest and toughest orruk in the Mortal Realms, Gordrakk is the Megaboss of Megabosses, the leader of the Great Waaagh!, and the chosen champion of Gorkamorka whose followers include all worshipers of the Great Green God, not just orruks. An unstoppable force of destruction, Gordrakk fights from the back of the massive and foul tempered Maw-Krusha Bigteef, crushing all those who stand against him and leading his numberless horde against the forces of Chaos, Death and Order alike.

* ArmoredDragon: Despite being the strongest and toughest of its kind, Gordrakk’s Maw-Krusha, Bigteef, wears an armoured helmet made of crudely beaten metal.
* DualWielding: Gordrakk is armed with a pair of axes known as Smasha and Kunnin’. It is said that these weapons were originally part of a single axe known as Worldchoppa but Gordrakk broke it into two so that he could kill more enemies with them.

* PowerCopying: In addition to his own spells, Nagash can cast any spell known by other Death Wizards on the battlefield.

* {{Fireballs}}: The schematic leaders of the Drakkfoot warclan mix the power of their home realm of Aqshy, the Realm of Fire, with their race's innate Waaagh! energy to throw [[MulticolorFire greenish-red]] fireballs at their enemies. In the 2nd Edition ''Destruction Battletome: Orruk Warclans'' {{sourcebook}} this is represented by the Fireball Drakkfoot Command Trait, a unique spell that can cause multiple [[UnblockableAttack mortal wounds]] against an enemy unit.

As the biggest and toughest Megaboss in the Mortal Realms, Gordrakk claims to be the leader of orruks everywhere and none thus far have had the strength to disprove this claim. An unstoppable force of destruction, Gordrakk fights at the head of his Great Waaagh! from the back of the massive and foul tempered Maw-Krusha Bigteef, crushing all those who stand against him.

* WalkingShirtlessScene: Bonesplitterz don't have much in terms of clothing and wear little more than a loincloth.
* WitchDoctor: The Wurrgog Prophets, Wardokks and Maniak Weirdnobs are the shamanic leaders of the Bonesplitterz warclans. These shaman conduct great rituals to channel the energy of the Waaagh! and the Bonesplitter boyz believe that they are direct conduits to the power of Gorkamorka.

* FullBoarAction: While nowhere near as large or unruly as the gruntas ridden by the Ironjawz, the war boars that the Bonesplitterz use as mounts are still almost as insanely ferocious as their riders.

* PowerTattoo: Bonesplitter Savage Orruks daub themselves in warpaint that grants them the favour of Gorkamorka allowing them to ignore even the most powerful of attacks.

* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: The protection provided by the Bonesplitterz' [[PowerTattoo warpaint]] is generated by the collective belief of the warclan in its divinely granted abilities.
* CoDragons: Wurrgog Prophets will often choose the two toughest Savage Orruks they can find to be their Gorka-Boss and Morka-Boss to lead their warclan in battle and keep the boyz in line.

* BadWithTheBone: Due to their belief that the bones of deadly animals contain the energy of the Waaagh!, Bonesplitterz will often wield weapons, known as chompas, crafted from the bones of particularly ferocious beasts.
* BallisticBone: The bows used by Savage Orruk Arrowboyz fire the sharpened bones of mighty beasts with such force that they can penetrate even a Chaos Knight's armour.

The Savage Orruks of the Bonesplitterz warclans are the wildest of their race to plague the Mortal Realms. The Bonsplitterz believe that the bones and souls of the most destructive beasts contain the pure energy of the Waaagh!, and they see it as their mission to hunt such monsters to absorb this energy.

* WolverineClaws: The bladed tips of Metalrippa's Klaw can tear through the thickest armour.

* MakeMeWannaShout: The roar of a Maw-krusha is so loud that it is capable of bursting the internal organs of enemy warriors.
* OurWyvernsAreDifferent: While they lack the poison typical in fiction, Maw-krushas are massive, if dim, wyvern-like creatures used by the toughest Ironjawz Megabosses as mounts. When on the ground, Maw-krushas walk on all-fours in a manner similar to pterosaurs, attacking their enemies with the powerful fists of their winged forelimbs. Despite their bulk and relatively small wingspan, Maw-krushas are capable of slow and clumsy flight, much to the amazement of the scholars of more civilised races, some of whom believe that such a feat is only possible because gravity itself doesn’t want to mess with the bad-tempered creatures.
* SoldierVsWarrior: Brutes are the Warriors while Ardboyz are the soldiers, the two groups form an OddFriendship.

Origination from the savage plains of Ghur, the Realm of Beasts, the Ironjawz are the largest and most powerful breed of orruk. Clad in crude but effective suits of plate armour, the Ironjawz consider themselves to be Gorkamorka’s elite warriors and they can always be found in the thick of the fighting, tearing the heart out of the enemy battleline with brute strength and huge choppas.

* GravityMaster: It's implied Maw-krushas are so belligerent even gravity doesn't want to mess with them.
* LargeAndInCharge: As with all orruks, the Ironjawz thrive on violence, growing bigger and more powerful with each victory and, as the biggest and most violent of their kind, other orruks instinctively look towards the elite Ironjawz for leadership. The Megabosses who lead the Ironjaw tribes themselves meanwhile have fought and won so many battles over their lifetime that they are the largest of all the orruks and even have a special rule that allows them to grow even more powerful as they kill enemy Heroes during a game.

* DashAttack: The large and bad-tempered Maw-krusha wyverns often use their hulking bulk to crush their opponents in their eagerness to join the slaughter. This is represented in all editions of the game by the Destructive Bulk ability that allows it to cause multiple [[UnblockableAttack mortal wounds]] against enemy units when they complete a charge move.

* ExtremeOmnivore: Gruntas will eat absolutely anything including their defeated foe, armour and all.
* FullBoarAction: The gruntas ridden by the Ironjawz are the largest and most foul-tempered type of boar used as mounts by the orruks.

* CounterAttack: The Armour of Gork's own fighting spirit inflicts wounds on attackers if its wearer rolls a 6 for a save roll.

* DragonRider: Many of the biggest and toughest Megabosses have managed to capture and use Maw-krushas, heavy hulking wyvern-like creatures, as mounts of war.

* TheBerserker: The wyvern-like Maw-krushas used as mounts by the mightiest of Ironjawz Megabosses are nearly as bloodthirsty as the orruks who ride them, remorselessly destroying anything that comes within range of its massive fists and tails. The 2nd Edition ''Destruction Battletome: Orruk Warclans'' represents this with a large number of powerful attacks and the ability to make multiple charge moves if it's [[DashAttack Destructive Bulk]] ability leaves it unable to attack the enemy.

* TheBerserker: The wyvern-like Maw-Krushas used as mounts by the mightiest of Ironjawz Megabosses are nearly as bloodthirsty as the orruks who ride them, remorselessly destroying anything that comes within range of its massive fists and tails. The 2nd Edition ''Destruction Battletome: Orruk Warclans'' represents this with a large number of powerful attacks and the ability to make multiple charge moves if it's [[DashAttack Destructive Bulk]] ability leaves it unable to attack the enemy.

* DashAttack: The large and bad-tempered Maw-crusher wyverns often use their hulking bulk to crush their opponents in their eagerness to join the slaughter. This is represented in all editions of the game by the Destructive Bulk ability that allows it to cause multiple [[UnblockableAttack mortal wounds]] against enemy units when they complete a charge move.

* AnAxeToGrind: As with other orruks, Ironjawz make use of a wide variety of axe-like choppas. Whether it is a regular orruk-forged choppa or a massive Gore-choppa, the axes used by the Ironjawz are brutally effective weapons.
* TheBerserker: Maw-Krushas are nearly as bloodthirsty as the orruks who ride them, remorselessly destroying and slaughtering anything that comes within range of its claws. In-game, this is represented by the On the Rampage Ability that allows a Maw-Krusha (and it's Megaboss rider) to make a second charge if it kills all the enemy within range with its [[FoeTossingCharge sheer bulk]].

* BallisticBone: The bows used by Savage Orruk Arrowboyz fire the sharpened bones of mighty beasts with such force that they can penetrate even a Chaos Knight’s armour.

The fused form of the Orruk twin gods, Gork and Mork, Gorkamorka is a two-headed deity who is both brutally conning and cunningly brutal. He was found by Sigmar, early in the Age of Myth, entombed in a vast mass of living amber; after the other god dug him out, the two deities proceeded to beat the living daylights out of each other in a twelve day battle, after which Gorkamorka readily agreed to join Sigmar as the pantheon's monster-hunter and troublesmasher. This worked fine until it didn't, as the easily bored god eventually grew fed up with not being allowed to fight whoever and whoever he pleased and went on a one-man Waaagh! from one end of reality to the other and then right back again. Nowadays he eagerly encourages his green-skinned followers to be as ferocious and bloodthirsty as they can be, tearing down the worlds' empires for the sake of the fighting needed to do so.

* BloodKnight: He’s the God of the [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Orruks]], what do you expect?

* DemotedToExtra: When the original ''Grand Alliance: Destruction'' {{sourcebook}} was released there were three Orruk Factions: the generic Greenskinz; the Berserker Bonesplitterz; and the heavily armoured Ironjawz. Although more generic clans are still mentioned in the background material, the 2nd Edition release of ''Destruction Battletome: Orruk Warclans'' saw the removal of the Greenskinz as an official faction.
* FunetikAksent: As is traditional for Creator/GamesWorkshop greenskins, Orruk speech is rendered phonetically in heavily broken English.
* TheHorde: Led by the biggest and strongest of their kind, the warclans of the Orruks rampage across the Mortal Realms, drowning anything and everything in their path with a near endless tide of barbaric warriors that despise civilisation and wish for nothing more than a proper fight.
* OurOrcsAreDifferent: Orruks are the Orcs of the Mortal Realms. Heavily built with gleaming red eyes, jagged fangs and leathery green skin, Orruks strike an intimidating figure, and they are driven to destroy anything in their path by a deep hatred of civilisation and weakness. All feel the call of the twin-headed god Gorkamorka, and gladly take up their weapons against the forces of Chaos, the undead and civilisation alike.
* ProudWarriorRace: All Orruks live to fight and believe that they were created for a single purpose, to fight and to win. The entirety of Orruk culture revolves around violence with the largest, more powerful Orruks bullying those below them into doing what they want. In addition to this, one of the reasons that Orruks hate civilisation is that they consider civilised methods of warfare that don’t rely on the strength and skill of the individual, such as the use of technology and castles, as cheating the core truth of reality -- that might makes right.
* XtremeKoolLetterz: Da Orrukz' FunetikAksent is spellt as Ironjawz, Maw-krushas, Ardboyz and so on.

!!!Ironjawz

The Ironjawz are as large and tough as orruks come and as such are considered the elite warriors of that savage race. Clad in crude but effective suits of plate armour, the Ironjawz are always in the thick of the fighting, slaughtering their foes with huge choppas to tear the heart out of the enemy’s battle line.

!!!Bonesplitterz

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: His many similarities to Grimgor Ironhide, such as his missing eye, broken teeth, leading the toughest Orruks, massive size, dangerous addiction to fighting and being the mortal representative of Gork has not gone unnoticed by fans. His lore even mentions that his dual-wielded axes were once part of a bigger magical axe, unusually similar to Grimgor's Gitsnik. Although if he is actually Grimgor reincarnated or just a Boss who happens to be ''very'' similar has yet to be seen.

* TheHorde: The Orruk Warclans rampage across the Mortal Realms drowning anything and everything in their path with a near endless tide of barbaric warriors.
* OurOrcsAreDifferent: Orruks, renamed from the Orcs of the World-that-was, are green-skinned violent brutes driven by the base instinct to crush and destroy. They all feel the call of the dualistic god Gorkamorka, and gladly take up their axes against the forces of Chaos, the undead and civilisation alike.

* FunetikAksent: Orruk speech tends to be intentionally misspelt in writing.

%%!!The Masque

* ClownCarGrave: At the start of each battle, after sides are chosen, a Legions of Nagash player sets up two gravesites in their territory and two others anywhere on the battlefield. These gravesites can house as many summonable units as the player desires.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: If the bearer of an Asylumaticae rolls a 1 when opening it, the freed spirits of the insane murderers inside the casket will unleash their fury on them instead of on the enemy.
* LifeDrain: The Tomb Blade steals the energy of its victims and uses it to heal the undead.
* LivingClothes: The Chiropteric Cloak is a bat-winged cloak capable of feeding on blood, which drives it into a frenzy and causes it to lash out.
* NemeanSkinning: The Terrorgheist Mantle is crafted from the hide of a Terrorgheist, and grants the wearer the power to call on its sonic screech.

* PowerNullifier: If an Oubliette Arcana successfully negates an enemy spell, that spell cannot be cast again by the caster for the rest of the battle.
* RapidAging: With but a motion of a Grave-sand Timeglass, the bearer can cause a victim to age centuries in seconds.
* SoulPoweredEngine: A Spiritcage captures the spirit energy of the slain and uses it to empower the undead.

* TomeOfEldritchLore: Powerful Artefacts of Death, the Cursed Books are evil {{Spell Book}}s that are filled with the malign knowledge written by the most evil necromancers to practice their dark arts. Such is the evil power contained within their pages, the mere presence of a Cursed Book can unnerve the living, represented in-game by a penalty on hit rolls for enemy models near the Cursed Book's owner.

%%!!!Patru Zandtos

!!!Patru Zandtos

* TheBerserker: Flagellants launch themselves at the enemy with rabid fervour, heedless of their own survival.

!!!Swifthawk Agents

* BowAndSwordInAccord: Shadow Warriors are able to cut to the heart of the enemy with either bow or blade.
* InASingleBound: The High Warden, mounted on a Griffon, has the Predatory Leap special rule, which allows him and the Griffon to jump past enemies to reach the target.
* UnstoppableMailman: The Swifthawk Agents act as couriers and messengers between the free cities and Azyr while coordinating grand assaults that can span across realms. They will not hesitate to cut down those who would obstruct their duty.

* BowAndSwordInAccord: Dark Riders are armed with deadly repeater crossbows and barbed swords.
