Orkimedes

'ere to fix your gubbins.

Orkimedes is a background Ork character mentioned in the fluff surrounding The Third Armageddon War and a shockingly bad pun, even by GW standards. Personal Mekboy to Ghazghkull himself, he's credited as being one of, if not the, smartest Orks in existence. Also quite a kunnin' fellow as his existence has technically never been verified by the Imperium, although he does have a hit out on his head by these freaks.

He's very, very rarely mentioned, which is a shame because, when he is the fluff is quite interesting. Orkimedes's biggest accomplishment is probably his refinement of Tellyportas. The effective range of most races' Teleporting technology is fairly limited, only a few tens of megameters at the most (there are exceptions though). This is a hell of a lot shorter than it sounds when you remember that space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. A range of tens of megameters is just about enough for spaceship to spaceship boarding actions or spaceship to ground actions, it's about 2 and a half times higher then the orbit of the ISS, which is nowhere near the orbit of the moon. Orkimedes, however, managed to build Tellyportas that could accurately drop mobs of Orks onto the battlefields of Armageddon from the edges of the star system. We are talking ranges that you would have to measure in AUs. Sadly, the Imperial Navy was able to track down the Space Hulk he was hiding out on and force it to flee the Armageddon system after which he did basically fuck all. He's also credited with souping up the Orks' Gargants, making them into even bigger mountains of rape than they were before. Now has a section in the new Codex: Waaagh! Ghazghkull named after him (Orkimedes' Kustom Gubbinz).
