Grand Alliance Destruction Ironjawz

Waaaaaaaaaagh!!

Lore Tactics General Tactics

The Ironjawz are a faction of Orruks found in Age of Sigmar. They, to put it simply, are the 'Ardest of the 'Ardest, consisting of Orruks who would be considered full-blown WARBOSSES in other Orruk tribes due to their sheer strength and size. To be more precise, they'd be MegaNobz considering how massive and ungainly their armor is, which these models are good proxies for. Greatest amongst the Ironjawz, and the closest thing the Orruks have to a racial leader, is Gordrakk, the Fist of Gork. They were the de facto posterboys for Destruction for a good long while before the Gloomspite Gitz seized it from them like the sneaky gitz they are.

Introduction

The Ironjawz aren't like the traditional Orruk tribes in that EVERY different colour or warband are part of the same tribe and will actively follow DA ONE TRUE BOSS if they encounter him. Yes, you heard that right. These gits all will follow one boss instead of fighting each other to be the biggest boss, due to how 'ard this boss is. Because of their unique way of leadership the Ironjawz have become a very feared and terrifying force of destruction, Their religion is similar; it states that Gordrakk is the Prophet of Gorkamorka and that the only way to get Gorkamorka to return to the Mortal Realms is to unleash the biggest, meanest, most bloody scrap ever fought. And it's worryingly likely. The Beastclaw Raiders, Bonesplitterz, and most other factions of Destruction are joining WAAAGH! Gordrakk. It remains to be seen how this may develop in future, as GW hasnt released anything Ironjawz related since their release near the beginning of AoS.

Da Forces of Da Ironjawz

Ironjawz have a crude but efficient method of organization. The basic unit is the Mob, which may range in size anywhere from five to five hundred. Five Mobs make a Fist, and five Fists makes a Brawl, the Ironjawz equivelant of a regiment. This fixation on fives is because most Ironjawz can't count any higher. It is said Gordrakk's Waaagh! is so big that it is counted in units of ten, which the Ironjawz see as a formidable feat due to the legend that "seven ate nine". Myths seen as ludicrous even by the Ironjawz speak of Orruks so kunnin' they can count to twenty if they take off their shoes.

The soldiers of the ironjawzs consist of the following units, 'Ardboyz, Orruk Brutes, Orruk Gore-Gruntaz, Megabosses, Orruck Warchanters, Weirdnob Shammans, Megabosses on Maw-Krushas and Godrakk.

• Ardboys: So you ever wondered what happened to Black orcs, welp they became the fan boyz of the Ironjawz. Ardboyz are orcs who want to join the Ironjawz tribe, to do this they wear full-plate armour and copy whatever the ironjawz do so in short they are obsessed fanboyz. Thats not to say they aren't a hard frontline with a +4 armour save and two wounds a piece these guys will hit hard and keep smashing until either they die or the enemies dies.
• Orruk Brutes: While the ardboys can be considered the grots of the Ironjaw society, Brutes can be considered the regular boyz. The Brutes are orruk Nobz in strength and size, they are clad in metal scraps smashed into shape to fit the wearer. These guys are your basic front-line infantry like the ard boyz but unlike the ard boyz, brutes are better at smashing through enemy than boyz and get to attack twice when facing an enemy that has 4 or more wounds.
