The Ironjawz are orruk-kind grown to its brutal apex: the biggest, meanest, most iron-hungry greenskins in the Mortal Realms, forged by generations of unbroken victory into something nearer a rockslide than an army. They venerate Gork, the smashing half of Gorkamorka, and their whole theology fits in a single article of faith: the best way through anything is straight through it.
They clad themselves in 'ardboy plate, crude slabs of beaten iron scavenged, extorted, or torn from the beaten, and the metal seems to thicken the more battles its wearer survives. A brawl of Ironjawz on the march is an assault on the senses: the shriek of dragged blades, the boom of iron-shod feet, the endless bellowed argument over who gets to hit the enemy first.
A warclan is ruled by its Megaboss, the single largest thing within it, and exists in permanent forward motion, for an Ironjawz denied a fight will cheerfully start one among his own. They do not besiege, flank, or feint; they find the thickest part of the enemy line and accelerate into it. The only strategy a Megaboss ever needs is a bigger choppa and a shorter run-up.
Order of battle
The Ironjawz field the units of the Orruk Warclans, a detachment from the roster:
Other Orruk Warclans formations
Big Waaagh!Not a clan but a convergence: when Ironjawz muscle, Kruleboyz cunning and Bonesplitterz frenzy all pull in the same direction, the Waaagh! swells into a god-touched flood of green energy. Under a leader like Gordrakk, it is the closest thing to Gorkamorka walking the realms again.
BonesplitterzFeral hunters daubed in bone and war-paint who chase the mightiest beasts of the realms to claim the power of their spirits. Armoured in faith rather than iron, they trust the Waaagh! to protect the truly devoted, and charge accordingly.
KruleboyzSwamp-bred orruks of Mork's sly persuasion, long-limbed and cold-eyed, who fight with poison, mist and calculated terror. They believe a battle should be won before the enemy knows it has started, and that fear does the best killing.
