The warclans of the orruks are a big green fist that slams into the guts of the Mortal Realms with each new day. Followers of Gorkamorka, the god of destructive, primal violence, they fight purely for the savage joy of fighting. Ironjaw and Bonesplitter alike are caught up in a tidal wave of violence that smashes entire civilisations to rubble.
This page contains all of the rules you need to field your Ironjawz miniatures on the battlefields of the Mortal Realms, from a host of exciting faction rules to a range of warscrolls. The rules are split into the following sections:| Book | Kind | Edition | Last update | |

| Q: | When using the ‘Notorious Bosses’ ability, can I give a target a heroic trait that another unit already has? |
| A: | No. |
| Q: | Can each part of the Foot of Gork use the ‘Wandering Destruction’ ability each turn? |
| A: | No. This is a single manifestation with multiple parts, so it can only use that ability once in each turn. |
| Q: | In the ‘Ironjawz Bigmob’ Spearhead army, are the Brute Ragerz set up during the deployment phase? |
| A: | Yes. Only the Brutes are not set up on the battlefield during the deployment phase. The Brute Ragerz are a different unit type, so are set up normally. |
| Q: | When using the ‘Mightiest Destroyers’ ability, can I pick a second target if there is a Megaboss on Maw-Krusha on the battlefield? |
| A: | No. The ability specifies the unit name, so only a Megaboss unit is eligible. |

KRULEBOYZ HEROES included in this Army of Renown can only include KRULEBOYZ units in their regiment, and IRONJAWZ HEROES included in this Army of Renown can only include IRONJAWZ units in their regiment. If your army includes Kragnos, the End of Empires, he can include either KRULEBOYZ units or IRONJAWZ units in his regiment (but not both), and he counts as a Hero from that faction for the purposes of needing to have one regiment led by an IRONJAWZ HERO for each regiment led by a KRULEBOYZ HERO and vice versa. | ||

| There may be situations when a unit that has STRIKE-FIRST is not in combat at the start of the phase, but because of moves such as pile-in moves, it is ‘pulled into combat’ later in the phase. In such cases, STRIKE-FIRST has no effect on that unit because it was not in combat at the start of the phase. Abilities that allow a unit to use a FIGHT ability immediately after another unit do not override the STRIKE-FIRST or STRIKE-LAST constraints, so you could not pick a unit with STRIKE-LAST to fight immediately after a unit with STRIKE-FIRST. | ||
