=== Age of Darkness Theme: Clan Supremacy ===

Age of Darkness Themes are a means of gathering together several different elements into a new or unusual way of fielding an army inspired by a particular setting or event from the grand milieu that is the Horus Heresy. An Age of Darkness Theme might combine units from different army lists, present new Force Organisation charts, Warlord Traits, wargear and character options or modify victory conditions or other mission special rules. The use of Age of Darkness ‘Themes’ are optional and require the agreement of both players to use.

The Age of Darkness Theme that follows represents an Ork force more common to a large, established empire, where the majority of the Boyz, plus a disproportionate percentage of the specialists, will be of the same Clan as the Warboss. While smaller or more nomadic Ork populations, or those that are readjusting due to frequent changes in leadership, tend to have a fairly even representation of the Clans (and the Oddboyz that are more common to specific Clans), very large populations of Orks sometimes skew the balance towards the same Clan as that of its leaders. This is rarely a matter of deliberate policy; more commonly it simply reflects that the bosses’ own similarities of interest and temperament make them (somewhat) more tolerant of the eccentricities common to those in their own clan. While this does not lead to strong feelings of disenfranchisement such as a marginalized human population would experience, it nevertheless has the effect of causing many Orks from different Clans to seek their fortunes elsewhere, either as Freebooters or simply as migrants to another population with a different Clan mix. While a Waaagh! (or, to a lesser extent, any conflict) will quickly reverse this process, as Clan distinctions are forgotten in the rush for a good scrap, the effect will again begin to reassert itself over time if a large population is faced with sufficient monotony.

==== Building a Clan Supremacy Army ====
* A Clan Supremacy Army is chosen from Codex Orks.
* A Clan Supremacy Army may not take special Ork Detachments; it may only use the standard Age of Darkness detachments, or optional detachments by agreement, or the standard detachments that apply to the mission that you are playing.
