Ironjawz – Weirdnob Shaman

Gibbering, spasming, shuffling forwards on bandy legs, a Weirdnob gripped by the power of the Waaagh! seems rather curious despite their obvious size and muscularity. Yet this is an orruk possessed. When the clash of steel, the din of chanting orruks and the scent of spilt blood is in the air, they are a conduit for the elemental force of Gorkamorka. Their eyes glow, ectoplasm spilling from their mouth as they shudder in the grip of a grand frenzy. Then, with a convulsive roar, they belch forth killing green magic in a vomitous tide of pure Waaagh! energy. Much like the orruks themselves, Waaagh! magic is violent, unpredictable and dangerous to everything in its vicinity. Its essence sits outside the typical ‘laws’ of magic, neither drawn from a particular realmsphere nor corrupted by dark sorcery. The scholars of other races have long had difficulty defining where the primal energy of an orruk horde ends and proper Waaagh! magic begins. In truth, these concepts are one and the same. More than one Tzeentchian sorcerer or Lumineth mystic has entered into a magical duel with a mad-eyed Weirdnob, only to find themselves overwhelmed by a wild power that simply cannot be undone.
