Scraplootas

The Scraplootas, Orks extrordinaire. Except without many Orks. And a lot of Grots.

Who are the Scraplootas?

Da Orky Tribe Flag

The Scraplootas are a minor Ork tribe who managed to net a surprising victory in stealing a Chaos titan, and making it their own. The Tribe had a very high number of Snotlings and Gretchin, and their primary tactic was to swarm the enemy with wave after wave of Grots before sending the boyz in, this ended up working in their favor during the looting of the titan. They sent an army of Grots in a suicide mission to capture the titan at all costs, and in an utter miracle (Mostly due to a simultaneous assault by the Blood Jaguars Chapter at the other end of the base), they managed. Overwhelming the chaos forces at the cost of almost the entire tribe, they successfully forced the chaos out of the district, and took the Titan as a prize. In the aftermath, almost all of the Orkish forces left alive were either Kommandos or Grots, leading to a strategy of supporting the Titans raw firepower with endless hordes of Grots and surgical strikes.

To move their Titan from battlefield to battlefield, the Scraplootas hitch rides on larger Waaaghs, fighting for the highest bidder in exchange for teef, food, beer, and scrap to keep their Titan functioning and armed. Of course, the Titans mighty guns are always warmed up and ready to go when in the cargo holds of Space Hulks, as a precaution against the inevitable attempt by the nearest Warboss to take the massive war machine for himself.

Recently, word of the Warbands high number of Kommandos and unusually strategic method of war drew a wave of Kommando and Stormboy Freebooterz, as well as many Blood Axes Orks to the banner of Warboss Urtylug, bringing their full strength to roughly 160 Orks and adding a handful of Trukks and a single looted Leman Russ tank to their arsenal.

With the influx of Freebooterz and Blood Axes, the Warboss has been convinced to start hiring out the services of his Warband to non-Orks, working for a desperate Planetary Governor, a Rogue Trader, several Chaos Warbands (Which they betrayed immediately after the job), a small but prosperous independent human empire, and on several occasions Craftworld Eldar under the command of Farseer Vaedrisa, who has started cultivating the Warband as preferred pawns to further the Craftworlds ends after their startling and highly improbable early victories, although it is rumored that she has begun to take an unhealthy interest in the Orks.

Notable characters

War Boss Urtylug "Titanloota" Dursnik

Although known for krumpin' a whole lot of Dark Eldar, Dursnik's proudest moment was definitely the capturing of the Chaos Titan. He was so proud of it, he put it into his name. He claims the success was down to his genius skills in planning and executing a battle, but in truth it was because he has more Grots than sense.

He is often known for his affinity with squig tea, and drinks it religiously. Such is his obsession he has two grots permanantly hanging around him; Tapp and Spiggot, who are in charge of tea duties.

Big Mek Tinka Zizzbitz (also Blue's mentor)

Zizzbitz is the most prominent Mekboy in the tribe, and the first mate to the Warboss' captain. He has a lot of power and sway, and is in charge of the Scraplootas' sprawling industrial output.

Boris the Titan

After beating up every other Ork who tried to get in his way, Boris was allowed to pilot the Titan for the first time. He did a reasonable enough job of it, but enjoyed it so much he decided he wasn't going to let anyone else have a go. Ever. He has stayed inside the control room of the Titan since that day, which has sent him ever so slightly mad. He now believes he IS the Titan, speaking through its PA system, referring to himself as Boris the Titan, and smashing anyone who tries to take his "body" away from him.

Fortunately, Boris still believes the Warboss Utrylug is in charge, so he follows orders like any other Ork, albeit a bit bigger. The Titan itself is kept running by countless numbers of grots in the inside, who somehow manage to keep the smoky, hellish insides of the Orkified Titan working.

Titanopolis - The Titan Bureaucracy

Interestingly, the Grots inside the Titan, sheltered from normal Orkish life, have created a functional political system. The people who led the original attack claim to be the leaders, and delegate different jobs to the grots on the inside. Since they have owned the Titan for quite a long time, there is actually an effective bureacracy and streamlined system of management that has build up. This has, however led to some unrest and even coups, all on the inside of the Titan, unknown to the tribe, and even unknown to Boris.

Threegrot

Threegrot is a unique manifestation that has occurred solely from the huge numbers of grots in the Scraplootas clan. The large numbers, in combination with the fact the Titan was originally owned by Chaos, has led to an increased number of Weirdgrots and Weirdsquigs. Three of these Weirdgrots decided they were sick of just being seen as just more faces in the grot crowd, so they teamed up, standing on top of each other in order to form a figure about the same height as an Ork, and allowing them to fit in with Orkish society (mostly).

Given the fact they are weirdgrots, they use their psychic powers to show other Orks that they're actually a full Weirdboy, albeit a lot thinner than most. The Orks value their help, so they don't think too much about it. When asked why he calls himself Threegrot, he tends to reply "Cuz' I'm as powerful as three Grots. Now piss off".

Fizzgutz Da Klerik

Fizzgutz is another anomaly. Originally just a generic Ork Brand Ork (TM), he now has a much higher opinion of himself, and believes he is a priest, constantly quoting from "Da Book" (which he has never read, as he can't read), and helping out Orks if they are ever in a moral dilemma (can the problem be solved through choppin', or through shootin'?).

His epiphany came when he picked up a book that had fallen out of Boris the Titan (in reality, it is a book of daily fuel allowance for the rear sector of the Titan, another part of the Bureaucracy). On picking up the book and looking at it, a nearby Ork caught fire, and turned into three Grots (I'll leave you to work out what happened). On seeing this, he took it as a message from Gork, that he must act as the spiritual leader of Boris, and take the role of Priest for all the Grots.

If anyone questions him, he replies that he is "on a mission from Gork", and that they should heed the words of Da Book. Then he bashes them over the head with it for good measure.

Blue (and her drone, Mr Squig)

See the page for Blue for more information.

Derknitt

Derknitt is an ork you don't want to see if you ain't green. Even if you are green you likely wont see him anyways. A kommando nob and the sneakiest git aboard Boris he is the hand of Fizzgutz and da book. On a mission to keep Boris right an' orky he has a lot of work to do, when walls grow faces and start screaming he screams right back at them, when boys start saying the guns are whispering to to them he stabs em' good. He begrudgingly works with the higher ups at the Grotocracy to keep the daemon core of the titan subdued with plenty of weirdgrots and weirdsquigs.In his obsession to keep everything mean and green he has a hatred for Blue, for being blue who manages to constantly outsmart him and by extension the Big Mek Zizzbitz and perhaps even more-so Warboss Urtylug for allowing Blue to stay. Despite repeated attempts at fighting Urtylug poor Derknitt gets krumped good on account of how kunnin' and big the boss is, it may also be something in his tea..

"Sir, the left elbow seperatist movement has taken up arms."

"They are fighting against us with weapons?"

"No sir. They've jammed the elbow mechanism, so the arms are up."
