Deff Skwadron
Deff Skwadron is a Warhammer 40,000 comic about (you guessed it) a skwadron of Ork flyboys in fighta-bommas doing what Orks do best. They serve under Warboss Badthug in an ongoing WAAAGH!!! against Warboss Grimlug on a unknown barren world. It is one of the only finest examples of Orky literature.
For a long time, this comic was out of print. In 2016, GW brought it back in a hardcover edition!

89 Konfirmed killz.
Favourite Manoeuvre: "Comin' out of da sun - sneaky!".
Gimzod[edit | edit source]
Uzgob's Mek, Navigator, Smartboy, and general punching bag. The story's narrator. You probably know him as the "WOT DA ZOG" reaction image.
Raznuts "Da Goose"[edit | edit source]
A glory hound second-in-command that Uzgob keeps shooting at that always goes down in a ball of flaming shame. Never actually gets himself killed, much to Uzgob's annoyance. Once survived an encounter with Squigsharks.

Gorthank "Killboy"[edit | edit source]
An insane Ork more bionik bitz than Ork.
71 Konfirmed killz, including 24 from his own side.
Owns a impressive (for Deff Skwadron standards) 1-to-1 missions flown to shot down ratio at 38 times.
Favourite Manoeuvre: Flying plane into target.
