Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Orks Ghazghkull Thraka

Product Information

Ugrak's Uglies are part of a battle-hardened and fighty core of Goffs that form the centre of WAAAGH! Ghazghkull. Ugrak was a Goff champion who led a Nobz mob on Urk. Kommandoz are almost exclusive to the Blood Axes klan -– those sneaky, 'umie-loving Orks that favour camouflage and elaborate strategic plans. Kommandoz work well in Goff warbands, as they have great respect for fighting skill and discipline. The size of the escalating war on Armageddon was becoming difficult to imagine. Billions of lives had been lost in the unending battle, so that the very world had become a byword for war and destruction on a massive scale. It was a place where the mightiest war machines in the galaxy clashed and heroes died in droves. Orks from across the galaxy felt the vibrations of the WAAAGH!. Like moths to a flame, the most aggressive greenskins were being drawn toward Armageddon, seeking fame and glory. But the Third War for Armageddon had spread beyond the planet, for the whole sub-sector was rife with Ork raiders. Those worlds left vulnerable by the Imperial commitment to the Armageddon War were now burned themselves. Rumours abounded that Ghazghkull had called the Ragnarork, the Great WAAAGH!, the final apocalyptic battle in which the Orks would prove their worth before the eyes of their violent and primitive gods. It was not until the time of the Great Crusade that Mankind returned again in force. It was the Dark Angels Space Marine Legion who cleared the planet of its life forms and again planted the flag of Humanity upon it. Once more, the planet was dubbed Urokleas. Gork's Klaw - Gork's Klaw is a massive Power Klaw that Ghazghkull wields with the aid of his augmented physique.

Almost before their feet touched the ground, the Tankbustas would launch a barrage of rokkits towards their foe, easily ripping apart the enemies' light walkers or transport vehicles. Although Lootas needed to plant their feet before firing, the first salvo of shots from their deffguns could rake through whole Sentinel squadrons, cutting off their long gangly legs or, better yet, exploding them into fireballs. wars had been drawing in a steady stream of greenskins, new recruits rising to the call of fighting, space travel and the promise of greater battles. Under Ghazghkull, this rivulet became a cascading downpour as floods of greenskins rushed to join the fleet. Now they needed purpose.

The Imperium has found that if a rising WAAAGH! can be detected and countered early enough, the Orks can be broken and dispersed at little cost. Thus, in star systems known to be plagued with greenskins, various watchposts are deployed. In the Zornian System the Dark Angels had established a range of monitoring stations coordinated by a command sanctum in a barren mountainous region of Urk. Goffs often employ the icon of the bull or horned Ork -- a symbol that reflects their preferred tactic: charge! Making his debut onto the battlefields of Warhammer Age of Sigmar with this huge miniature, Archmage Teclis is clearly not bothered by petty mortal concerns like gravity as he floats above his scenic base. Some say his puffy sleeves and pants are just filled with helium…

Unlike other klanz, Goffs take good care of the tools of their trade -- their weapons. Being a Goff himself, Ghazghkull preferred to use battle-hardened mobs of Goffs whenever he could. The Imperium had always dreaded the unification of so many Ork tribes, and now its worst fears were coming true. Already the wisest of the Imperial leaders faced the grim realisation that it was likely that the industry of Armageddon would soon be ruined beyond repair. The war was now less about saving Armageddon and more about preserving its sub-sector and, most sobering of all, preventing the ever-swelling tide of Orks from growing larger. If the great green menace could not be contained upon Armageddon, then it would sweep outwards and threaten the heart of the Imperium itself -– Holy Terra. Although it pained him to leave the largest battle he had ever seen, Ghazghkull knew he had work to do elsewhere. They sweep across a few star systems before stalling, their tide of advance ebbing and ultimately receding so that they become little more than a footnote in the history of some other race. Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka is a mighty prophet of the Waaagh!, capable of rousing billions of Orks into a frenzy of conquest and bloodshed. He is the most influential greenskin in the galaxy, and commands billions to war. As a species, Orks are not bound by history -- they neither revere the past, nor record it in any manner. Greenskins are creatures that live in, and for, the here and now. What makes the Ork whose full name is Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka so dangerous, is that he has vision -- not just for the present, but for the past, and most importantly, for the future.Each book includes an introduction by the author, as well as additional short stories – three in total across the two books, including one that is available first in this collection. Each set is signed and numbered from an edition of 1,000 copies. Watch out for a closer look at this and other Adepta Sororitas fiction next week.

In his vision, Ghazghkull was stomping across the galaxy. His strides spanned stars beyond count and each of his mighty footprints were swathes of planets aflame with war -- Armageddon, Octaria...he was already anxious for the start of the next great conflict. The rise of a strong Warlord could unite the feuding klanz, triggering a mass release of spores. Should this gathering grow large enough, it would act as a psychic beacon to Orks on nearby planets -- drawing them into a swarming migration that built with frightening intensity. In less than a Terran decade, Orks could go from being a minor nuisance to the world's dominant species. Since Ghazghkull's rise to power, he has led countless campaigns of destruction. He has crushed Aeldari war hosts, banished tides of Daemons, and smashed phalanxes of Necrons to so much sparking scrap. This change is quite a nice one anyway, giving us another glimpse at how the Primaris effect is going to find its way into all manner of different Chapters over the next few years. Yes, he is standing on some rubble, but he needs it if he's going to get face-to-face with Ghazghkull.In the place of an organic heart, Grotsnik instead modified the fuel pump of a Trukk and used that as the warlord's new heart. After the opening of the Great Rift, Ghazgkhull left the Octarius warzone, and led a fleet of over 5 million Greenskin warships against the forces of the Imperium. He eventually fell into conflict with the Space Wolves Chapter on the world of Krongar. The first novel sees Sister Miriya on the hunt for an escaped psyker, with both her honour and entire worlds at stake. The second sees Miriya join an expedition to the famed Sanctuary 101, where necrons slaughtered a force of Battle Sisters. When the xenos rise again, it falls to the Sisters to avenge their dead. Although Ghazghkull will find a place in his plans for any of these so-called "Dread Mobs", he favours those of his own klan. You can explore the story behind the new dungeon-exploring, vampire-killing cooperative board game Warhammer Quest: Cursed City – which you can see in February’s online preview roundup – in a new novel. The gorgeous special edition is the ideal way to explore the lore of the city of Ulfenkarn .

Greenskin legends have always spoken of the " Ragnarork," the time when the Orks finally rise up to conquer the galaxy in a series of apocalyptic battles.

Ghazghkull Thraka Model Size Bigger Than We Thought!

The Overfiend Delivered (851.999.M41) - After much hard fighting, the planet of Octaria is deemed clear of Tyranids. Zog Steeltooth, the new Overfiend of Octarius, declares his allegiance to Ghazghkull. Already, Orks from all over the realm and beyond are pouring in, drawn to the massive build-up of psychic WAAAGH! energy. At the very edge of Segmentum Solar lies a now-frozen orb that was once the sporadically populated Ork planet of Urk. Its history has been largely forgotten, buried beneath successive invasions, but it was first named Urokleas, after it was founded by an exploration fleet launched from Terra during the Dark Age of Technology. At the time! Those pesky ’umies went and designed bigger ones , but Orks don’t care – they all blow up da same. Ghazghkull saw Makari as something of a mascot. Thus, when the Grot's remains were peeled off his boss' rear end, Makari's wavin' stikk was reclaimed, hosed down, and went into service as an impressive Bosspole.
