WAAAGH is the battlecry of Orks throughout the universe. Whether it's a natural noise or Orkification of the word 'war' is really, really unimportant. Pointless WAAAGHing will now follow.
WAAAARGH
WAAAARGH
Ahem
WAAAGH has several meanings with the Orks. While it most famous as a battle cry, it also refers to the military campaign and energy field surrounding the Orks. WAAAGH as a military campaign is named after the Warboss who has gathered it together, and is generally described as migration/pub crawl/holy war, where Orks travel from one planet to another, fighting anything and everything that they can find.
WAAAGH also refers to the energy the Orks generate while in a campaign. A highly psychic race, Orks do not draw psychic power from the Warp like Humans and Eldar, but instead from each other. This allows Ork psykers, dubbed Wyrdboyz, access to a large amount of psychic energy. However, if they soak up too much energy, they end up exploding, taking several Orks with them. This energy field is actually vital to the Orks war efforts, as much of their technology would not even start without the psychic field making it work. The Orks, however, do not understand that they are making this energy field, and simply assume that the technology works because they believe that is how the universe works.
Notable WAAAGHs
- WAAAGH Ghazgkhull, which became infamous for the two wars it waged on Armageddon. Currently the largest known WAAAGH in existence.
- WAAAGH Snagrod, which became infamous for the near destruction of the Crimson Fists when it invaded Rynn's World. He was supposedly killed by "Rynn's might", a Land Raider that miraculously piloted itself with nothing but it's machine spirit.
- WAAAGH Gorgutz, which rampaged through Lorn V, Kronus, and the Kaurava system. He supposedly lost all 3 campaigns, but Emperor damn us all if we didn't say that he was hilarious through it all.
- WAAAGH Bonesmasha, which was the first WAAAGH to rampage through Aurelia during Dawn of War II. He was eventually killed by Force Commander Hair-gel and gang.
- WAAAGH Bluddflag, while we're still sketchy about DoWII Retribution's canon events that his WAAAGH ever left Typhon, in his ending, he supposedly looted all of Aurelia, killed semi-daemon prince Kyras, and looted a Hulk in Space to serve as his new flagship.
- WAAAGH Grimskull, which hit Graia and tried to loot some Titans. His raid failed, he was killed by Captain Titus, and the Blood Ravens probably got the Titans and claimed that it was gifted to their chapter.
