WAAAGH

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.

Not to be confused with "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD!", a cry often uttered by fa/tg/uys, but not associated with any kind of enjoyable activity.

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 pub crawl and a genocide rolled into one great big party, 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 Weirdboyz, to access 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, and much their unique features (i.e., their belief that "red goes faster). 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 Nazdreg, which teamed with Ghazgkhull for a while but then take their balls and leave when things on Armageddon went boring due to all that season of fire shit. They also participated in Medusa V campaign, which ensures major hilarity, like tilleporta-spamming few hive-cities to dust and hijacking fully operational Imperial battleship at evacuation stage. WAAAGH Nazdreg is famous for being the most well equipped WAAAGH in the Galaxy, having the most prominent Meks working for them (things like Tilleporta or Submersible was actually invented by them). Nazdreg himself is like an orky Bill Gates - ridiculously rich, arrogant, cunning and merciless.

• WAAAGH Snagrod, which became infamous for the near destruction of the Crimson Fists when it invaded Rynn's World. He and Chapter Master Pedro Kantor later fought in single combat, and Kantor handed his ass to him so hard that Snagrod ran away. To be fair, Snagron was manly enough to fight power-armoured space marine chapter master with fucking fist and chainsword, while wearing nothing more then loincloth and wielding just two non-power axes.

• WAAAGH Skargor, which was the target of the Corinthian Crusade, taking on fifty Imperial Guard regiments and six Space Marine chapters. Skargor was eventually killed by Ancient Galatan of the Ultramarines at the cost of his own life.

• 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. We do know that he lead this WAAAGH mostly to get a fancy hat.

• 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.

• WAAAGH The Beast, a WAAAGH made by an ork known only as The Beast, he united most of the ork race, fucked up the Imperium in a massive scale, made the number of attacks grow so much it became the BIGGEST WAAAGH the galaxy has ever known and forced the Imperium to sacrifice a great deal of their space marines. Long story short, he managed to make the impossible and tell most of the orks to quit fucking around, fucked up the Galaxy beyond comparison and still fucked the Imperium by destroying many of it's space marines. We know approximately a sentence about it. Despite this being canon, it is still said that Ghazgkhull is leading the largest WAAAGH humanity has ever seen. Some one better get on that fast or there's gonna be a fluff nut revolt, unless Ghazgkhull IS the beast (Dramatic music).

• There was also an unnamed but notable WAAAGH that invaded the warp. The irks apparently had a really good time but eventually gave up after they discovered ork spores don't work on spaceships and thus they couldn't replace their losses. Still kinda impressive that they made it back, and more so that they lasted long enough to consider reinforcement a viable option.
