Scraplootas
The Scraplootas, Orks extrordinaire. Except without many Orks. And a lot of Grots.
Who are the Scraplootas?
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 had to carve out most of the interior of the Loot Hava' (An old Imperial cargo ship that had been re-fitted by Void Pirates with extra weapons, larger engines, and boarding pods before being taken by the Orks) and convert it into a makeshift Titan-Carrier. The Warband works for the highest Orky (Or otherwise) bidder, taking food, beer, teef, shiny bitz, weapons, and scrap to keep their Titan functioning and armed as payment for their services.
Recently, word of the Warbands high number of Kommandos and unusually strategic method of war (Named "Swashkrumping" by Urtylug) 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
Warboss 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 permanently 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.
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 Urtylug 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 Gretchen 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, although it runs in large part on massive amounts of Snotling slave labor. 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)
The one that started all this madness. A Blue Ork. 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 until they shut up, when boys start saying the guns are whispering to to them he stabs em' good, when Wierdboyz or Wierdgrotz explode into Daemons he's the first to get stukk in. 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..

Farseer Vaedrisa
"Fanseer" Vaedrisa is a relatively high ranking Eldar with a hidden passion for the Scraploota's. She's able to not only assist the Scraploota's in their plunder, under the guise of manipulating them in true Eldar fashion, but in doing so provide protection for her brethren. It's also in large part due to her lack of mugs, which Urtylug has an obsession with. She is jealous of a certain little blue grot. Her current hairstyle is a braided ponytail.
Shas'El K'Lem P'rer and Shas'Vre Pan'zah
Tau Commander K'Lem and his bodyguard and personal aide Pan'zah are the leaders of a Tau army. Initially they set down on a certain human world on the edge of the Tau sept to annex it as another colony world for the greater good. Upon finding out that not only were the Scraplootas on the same world (K'Lem had been there when they ransacked another colony world years ago.), but also had a Tau 'slave', they decided to rescue her first and foremost before finally destroying the Scraplootas and avenging the Tau colony worlds, and taking their current world. They did manage to 'rescue' her, albeit for a brief moment before the Scraplootas freed her and stole K'Lem's clothes. Now K'Lem P'rer is obsessed in rescuing and re-educating Blue, while Pan'zah stands by him, ready to bail them out of yet another humiliating defeat by the hands of Scraplootas.

Zizzbitz' busy day.
It had been a very productive day for the Scraplootas. They were in between jobs, after having just finished a raid on a small Tyranid breeding world that had been very recently colonized. Some pointy head wanted the rocks or some other inane thing the boyz didn't care to remember. A handful of the smaller Tyranids had been caught, and Fizzgutz was very busy smacking them around with 'Da buk', and explaining to the creatures that they must 'repaint' before Gork & Mork, or be brutalized in a fashion so cunning that their hive mother would feel it. While he was doing this, the chained beasts were getting alot of attention from Blue, who was busy putting some gubbins and bitz together on their heads and backs to make em more orky and more usable. The bigger of the captives was getting a fine shoota hoisted onto its back by some grots and another was having a few choppas attached to its face. Zizzbitz couldn't be more proud, but he had work of his own to do. There was a particular project he had been working on in secret for some time now, one that was about ready to be finished after he got his hands on some new shiny gubbins that he needed from the last humie battle.
He lumbered past, and gave Blue a pat on the head and as he winked, telling her to keep up the good work and make sure the captured tyranids were carrying all the dakka their legs could lift. She beamed at her mentor and nodded vigorously and began work again twice as enthused. Zizzbitz entered his private workshop tent and hoisted his creation onto the table. It was half of an engine from some humie troop carrier, and had some of those fuel tanks from the pointy heads, and plenty of good old fashioned orky gubbins with three rockets recklessly attached to the back. Zizzbitz got to work, using a crate of bitz he'd had Blue put together yesterday. He began tinkering like a madman.
This was going to be his magnum opus, he just knew it. He was going to do as few orks had done before. He slaved away tirelessly for three days, chopping up shootas, choppas, gubbins, bitz, and fitting them all in over and over. He added two handles that came around the side and fit into his hands, both with two buttons each. His right hand had a proppa shoota, and his left hand had choppa launcha like Blue had helped him learn to make, and it was being fitted more and more, Squig leather buckles and belts and straps a plenty attached. Last but not least of course, as much of it was painted as red as possible. Zizzbitz fell asleep at his work desk, and when he awoke, he had some red paint on his face a bit from the way he slept, but the paint had dried on his creation.
It was time. He strapped it onto his back, and took the controls in his hands, and walked from the tent proudly exclaiming that he was finally done with the 'flydakka'. He ran over to where Blue was putting the finishing touches on one of the Tyranid captives. A basket on the back that would allow her to ride on it around the camp or carry materials, complete with a remote control.
She barely noticed him before he scooped her up, and shouted gruffly in her ear 'Blue ya gonna think this is right proppa in just a minute, and you gonna know dis is why Im da top mekboy roun' here' He hastily put an extra couple of strap around her torso and crossed his arms to have his right hand in the left control and right hand in the other, to give him a tight grip of Blue to his chest. He turned on the ignition and took off. Zizzbitz was flying, and holding Blue, zipping around the campsite as the Grots and Orks gazed in awe. He zoomed up and around Boris, eventually landing on one of the towers on his back, and then taking off again, cackling maniacally. Blue was thrilled, and Zizzbitz was awarded much merit as 'da fastest Ork in da sky' by the tribe. It was a very productive day for the Scraplootas.
