10" 10 3+ 2 The Killabosses that rule over Kruleboyz society tower over their lesser kin. Grown strong on a diet of near-constant war and plentiful red meat, their ‘finkin’ muscles’ are backed up by raw physical prowess. The tribal shamans consider Killabosses to be the truest incarnations of Gorkamorka, for not only do they have razor-sharp wits, they are also possessed of an imposing wiry strength. Their superior kunnin’ in battle, however, is what they are renowned for. They fight in the most underhanded way, whether throwing mud or blinding powder into their opponents’ eyes, laying traps, tripping the legs or kicking the groin. Their jagged blades are designed to hook and pull away shields to find the vulnerable flesh behind.
The Great Gnashtoofs ridden by some Killabosses are quick-witted and surprisingly agile for their size. Though habitual scavengers, they are always happy to seize smaller creatures – a category that includes most humanoids – and rip them to pieces so they can get on with the scavenging bit later. When on the hunt, Great Gnashtoofs can ‘throw’ their barks to make it sound like they are approaching from elsewhere. Then, when the prey’s back is turned, they will pounce, revealing the true danger behind the phantom threat. | ||

The most infamous Killabosses are accompanied to war by a loose entourage of eager hangers-on. Though the advice of a shaman or the extra muscle of a nob bodyguard are always vital, many Killabosses will keep an attendant Stab‑grot, often as a spiteful and obnoxious mascot to bolster their image. That is not to say that these grots are useless in combat; many are chosen for their unusual prowess at hamstringing or their extra-sneaky disposition. More often than not, however, they are simply there to act as a handy meat-shield should the battle go awry. | ||

5" 6 4+ 5 The bruisers of each Kruleboyz warclan are known as Murknobs, and the most veteran amongst them are entrusted with the clan’s standard. This is no simple totem but a powerful artefact known as a Belcha-banna, enchanted by the Swampcallas to lend yet another advantage to the Kruleboyz before the fighting starts. Designed to strike terror into the hearts of their foes, it takes the appearance a giant, fanged visage upon a pole – often a highly stylised representation of Kragnos, the Earthquake God.
Impaled upon the ‘teeth’ of the yawning maw is the tongue of a toad wyvern, mire-drake or some other backwater denizen. It is traditionally the Murknob himself who makes the kill and cuts the tongue from his prize; that is what he tells everyone, at any rate. The tongue is the source of the eye-wateringly ripe stink that emanates from the Belcha-banna whenever it is hoisted into the wind. This horrific smell is magnified tenfold before battle by the spells of the warclan’s shamans, who also bind the dead creature’s outraged spirit to the mouth of the banner so that it issues bellowing roars and thunderous burps. So supernaturally powerful are these sounds that they can even dissipate magic that threatens the Murknob and his boyz. | ||

5" 6 6+ 2 It is rare to find a Kruleboyz raid launched without a Swampcalla Shaman accompanying its boss, muttering the will of Mork into his ears. These orruks, however, are no simple advisors. They are conduits for roiling Waaagh! energy who possess the ability to harness the crude magics of their race without immediately detonating in a burst of green light. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the spells wrought by a Swampcalla Shaman all possess an ugly, slimy edge. With a wave of their staff and a rattling of knucklebones, a Swampcalla can transform the ground before them into a sucking peat bog or summon foul, choking mists.
As well as more traditional spellflinging, it is the Swampcalla Shamans who create the toxins and bog-brews so readily employed by the Kruleboyz and feared by their enemies. Like their magic, there seems to be little formal training in how to create such broths; most Swampcallas simply toss whatever ingredients feel right into a dented cauldron, bid their Pot-grot minions stir it all up while grunting appropriate-sounding ritual phrases, then test it out on the nearest unlucky captive. Their concoctions usually have a constitution-enhancing effect on any orruks who gulp them down, though every now and again, something outright lethal finds its way into the mix… | ||

5" 12 4+ 2 Some Kruleboyz war leaders bolster their battle prowess by riding a Mirebrute Troggoth into battle. The combination of veteran orruk and towering monster has proven a potent one; those too dexterous for the beast to rip limb from limb are soon spitted by the bident of its rider.
Mirebrute Troggoths lurk in the dankest swamps and waterholes of the realms. They can regenerate damage at an alarming rate, wounds sealing over and broken bones reknitting in a matter of minutes. So tall and strong are these beasts that they can wade through deep quagmires without slowing, making them ideal mounts for the marsh-traversing Breaka-bosses, who do not so much as get their feet wet before the beasts emerge dripping on the other side. These troggoths also endure the perils of battle well due to their disconnect with physical pain. When a Mirebrute is wounded, it will lash out in a violent frenzy at whatever is directly in front of it. This is especially true if the beast is blinkered; it literally sees only the foes standing before it. The Breaka-bosses find the ability to jab their steeds and make the enemy pay the price endlessly entertaining – and that price is typically being hammered flat by the massive clubs the beast is armed with. | ||

12" 14 5+ 5 Most infamous of all Swampcalla Shamans is Gobsprakk. He is the greatest prophet of orruk-kind, the Mouth of Mork, and it is clear the favour of the kunnin’ god is upon him. Green energy crackles around Gobsprakk when his ire is raised, and even the biggest orruks have learnt to fear the narrowing of the shaman’s eyes, for someone’s sudden demise follows soon after. Those who cross him have a strange habit of choking to death as their lungs fill with swamp water, even if they are standing upon an arid plain. Should an enemy survive his perfidious spells, they are snatched up in the talons of his beloved Corpse-rippa Vulcha, Killabeak.
Though his shamanic power is immense, by far the most impressive weapon Gobsprakk possesses is his intelligence. His reputation as the voice of his god – and that of Kragnos, to boot – has spread across the realms, and he wields such influence well, commanding orruks of every kind to flock to his banner. He is often seen at the head of great armies, directing them by sharing what Mork has allegedly whispered in his ear that day. Whether the green-skinned god actually speaks to Gobsprakk or whether this is an elaborate ruse has never been proven. | ||

Only a true ruler amongst Kruleboyz can bend one of the titanic raptors known as a Corpse-rippa Vulcha to their will. These massive, winged monstrosities have beaks that can bite through rock and talons that can shred steel, but like their riders, they also exhibit a predilection for cunning and cruelty. Each Vulcha picks a large and twisted tree as its larder. On its sharp, leafless branches, the Vulcha will impale its still-living kills, letting them die slow deaths and hang there to get nice and juicy with rot before gobbling them down. | ||

10" 18 4+ 15 One of the most destructive races to have ever lived, the Drogrukh were centauroid warriors who built a great nation in the Realm of Beasts. From their number rose a champion so powerful that he ascended to godhood: Kragnos, the End of Empires. Having led his people in warfare against a draconic empire that left the Drogrukh all but extinct, Kragnos was sealed away for the protection of the realms – only to be freed centuries later. Though he currently wages a protracted war in the Realm of Life, Kragnos can still be drawn to battle by the most ferocious fighting, his arrival announced by the smashing of enemy lines and the crushing of foes under his thunderous hooves.
Already a natural disaster made manifest, Kragnos’s rampages are further augmented by his legendary armaments. The shield Tuskbreaker is said to have been cast aside by Gorkamorka himself, deity of the orruks and other brutish beings. The spells of enemy mages break instantly upon its surface, supposedly due to the residual divine essence that suffuses it. The Dread Mace, Kragnos’s massive studded club, is powerful enough to shatter walls of solid rock. Legends say that Kragnos retrieved the weapon’s head from an ancient geomantic nexus, and that it is infused with Ghur’s own destructive animus. | ||

8" 14 4+ 5 Snatchabosses are the cruellest of orruk leaders. These repugnant individuals get their way through their intimidating reputation, bolstered by terrifyingly inventive acts of revenge. Should a Snatchaboss be truly angered, the object of his hatred might find themselves waking neck-deep in a barrel full of scorpions, dropping through the floor into a pit of hot coals, or being flayed alive by cackling hobgrots.
It is considered a great status symbol amongst the Snatchabosses to harness a Sludgeraker Beast. With long arms strong enough to drag large prey underwater, drooling jaws and a tail like a multi-corded scourge, Sludgerakers are formidable indeed. These stealthy ambush predators know when to submerge beneath the swamp-scum as they stalk their prey and how to level a single strike before withdrawing in the knowledge that the infected wound will bring their victim down effortlessly. Sludgerakers exude a greasy secretion to make it hard for other creatures to grapple them. The more slimy swamp-beasts they consume, the more pungent this rancid musk becomes. Kruleboyz will wipe their blades on a Sludgeraker’s belly before battle, for the rotting mixture there is so noxious it will quickly fester with the merest scratch. | ||

8" 15 4+ 5 Skumdrekk is something of a celebrity among the Kruleboyz, for his collection of hideous beasts numbers in the hundreds. He is the master of the Murkvast Menagerie, a swathe of mega-mangrove swamp in Ghur. The roots of these giant trees form a tangled network of stout wooden pillars, each a ready-made cage into which he has forced scores of unusual beasts. Yet it is not Skumdrekk’s impressive menagerie that has clinched his fame so much as his skill as a bet-master. With a talent for the finer points of wagering, bartering and – naturally – cheating, Skumdrekk has grown impossibly rich. Captives by the hundred are brought to the Murkvast Menagerie, and the roots of the mangrove trees are pulled aside to let specific beasts roam free. The details of who gets killed by what are the subject of an endless series of bets, with Skumdrekk and his Kountin’ Krew – a cadre of devious hobgrots backed up by troggoth muscle – presiding over the whole affair.
Skumdrekk rides the elder beast Sloppklaw, a Sludgeraker he broke to his will as a yoof and his faithful steed to this day. Though extremely near-sighted and a bit senile, Sloppklaw is still the fiercest of his kind yet encountered, and he has a talent for sudden explosions of violence – any victim caught by Skumdrekk’s snatcha-stikk and dragged near the beast’s muzzle will be swiftly eviscerated. | ||

5" 2 5+ 1 Gutrippaz form the spiteful heart of nearly all Kruleboyz war-parties. They are the ready reserve of green muscle that the Killabosses employ to carry out their kunnin’ plans. They are canny enough to form what are, by orruk standards, complex battlelines, and their understanding of how to exploit formations and pick apart less numerous or skilful foes is near instinctive.
The hideous skareshields carried by the Gutrippaz are constantly coated in a film of grime that can be used to reapply poison to their weapons. This act has an almost religious significance to the orruks, who refer to it by such terms as ‘givin’ it some bite’ and ‘puttin’ on da grin’. Yet the main purpose of these shields, as well as to protect the orruks, is to terrify the foe; the blood and slime of bloated swamp creatures is daubed across their faces, reacting with the shrouding fog summoned by the Swampcallas to glow with a weird bioluminescence. The Gutrippaz add to this unsettling image by banging their weapons together loudly, howling like rabid beasts or bawling crude raiding songs. Gutrippaz, by nature, prefer it when a fight begins in their favour, but their blood runs as hot as any orruk’s, and when a scrap is properly underway, the biggest difficulty for a Killaboss looking to take prisoners can be getting the Gutrippaz to stop. | ||

5" 1 6+ 1 Somewhere between grots and orruks in size, hobgrots make up for their lack of physical presence with a glut of vicious cunning. They are snide, conniving and mean-spirited but more intelligent and stronger than your average grot. They even have a crude language of runic glyphs and a rough organisation that is closer to human military than that of the orruks. They love nothing more than lording it over the lesser grots and snotlings that make up the dregs of their society. Of course, all this self-importance ends abruptly when the orruks arrive to conscript them into the greater horde.
When the orruks’ attention is elsewhere, these Hobgrot Slittaz go back to muttering ear-searingly obscene insults to one another, jabbing daggers into exposed backs only to blame it on nearby rivals, and tripping one another up so they get trampled into the dirt. Only when the enemy is in ‘killin’ range’ do they form up once more, hurling their hard-won explosive bangstikks into the foe – half of which exude volatile gas that is explosively ignited by the incendiary contents of the others – before charging in to finish the job with their nastylooking, razor-sharp blades. | ||

5" 2 5+ 1 The use of leashed beasts has always been a cornerstone of Kruleboyz warmaking. To secure these valuable but unbelievably deadly prizes, would-be beastmasters rely upon the infamous hunting bands known as Monsta-killaz. These cunning orruks relish tracking, capturing or killing the myriad monsters that populate the realms. Led by a sly Beastnob, they prowl through the wilderness laying traps and creating distractions so that they might catch a beast unawares and batter it into submission. As befits their devious kind, these orruks employ every underhanded method conceivable to render their quarry helpless, even employing wild creatures of their own, such as the aggressive simians known as Gnarlwood Howlaz.
While they specialise in hunting beasts, Monsta-killaz take great delight in ambushing rivals that interfere with their business. Many of the skills they have mastered out in the wilds can be turned against two-legged foes. Watching a Howla pull a screaming human’s arms out of their sockets is always a good laugh, as is concealing the egg clutch of a Spinecrawler amidst the scroll-cases of some pointy-eared aelven wizard and guffawing loudly as the outraged monstrosity enacts its gory revenge. | ||

5" 2 5+ 1 Some Kruleboyz prefer to kill at a distance, such as the crossbow-wielding Man‑skewer Boltboyz. Many Ironjawz bosses spit at the very idea of ranged attack, claiming ‘it ain’t orruky’. Yet when battle is joined and the first kills are claimed by the Boltboyz, such detractors fall strangely silent. The Boltboyz themselves simply shrug and walk at an unhurried pace towards the survivors, reloading as they go.
When on the hunt, Man-skewer Boltboyz fire to injure rather than to kill, relishing the sight of a crippled enemy limping away before the next volley puts them down for good. In battle, they go right for the headshot. Many soldiers have dismissed an orruk shoota-line in the belief that they are terrible shots, only to find man-skewer bolts have a very long reach and pack enough punch to send an armoured enemy flying backwards. It is common practice amongst the Boltboyz to coat their bolts in the most horrendous toxins, and the spikes on each bolt are made deliberately brittle so they snap off to leave shards in the wound. With a sadistic cackle and a ‘clunk-click’ of reloader arms, the orruks are soon ready to shoot again. | ||

5" 5 5+ 2 In the Realm of Beasts, sometimes a volley of crossbow bolts the length of a man’s arm is not quite enough. So it was that the vicious-looking devices known as Beast-skewer Killbows were invented. These are not crossbows so much as orruk-portable ballistas capable of penetrating a Stonehorn’s hide and cracking apart the rocky skeleton beneath. Even the strongest man would struggle to cock such a bow, let alone carry it to battle, but for the ‘big shots’ that use them, these Killbows are constant companions.
Whenever there is a nice juicy target to be impaled, whether it be a roving monster or enemy leader, the Beast-skewer boys will set up their weapons on a solid surface, line up a shot and let fly. A snivelling grot servant is always kept close at hand to carry a quiver full of spears on the orruk big shot’s behalf and help reload the Killbow all the faster after each bolt is loosed. Should the orruk miss their mark, their assistant can look forward to a resounding thump around the noggin for ‘mukkin’ it up again’. | ||

6" 10 4+ 2 Marshcrawla Sloggoths are an offshoot of the troggoth race that prey on the small and the weak. Ironic, then, that they are used as beasts of war by the small, weak grots that skulk in the corners of Kruleboyz society. The Marshcrawla Sloggoths make their way through the quagmires of the Mortal Realms on all fours. They tend towards easy kills and will gladly gobble up the young of other species instead of taking on fully grown prey. A Sloggoth’s long, flexible arms are perfect for reaching into hideaways to snatch those within, much to the horror of enemies who seek refuge from them. When their quarry is caught, they will burst into sudden action, jaws darting forward to clamp down on the head of their victim. To add to their list of awful qualities, like other breeds of troggoth, their uncanny constitution allows them to regenerate wounds at an alarming rate.
Captive Sloggoths will have a howdah mounted on their back, in which grots will ride to war. No orruk worth his teef would be seen dead on such a cowardly beast, but the grots understand that beneath this veneer is a beast capable of great violence when goaded to action. They hurl weighted nets from its back and thrust out man-snatcher polearms to disarm or incapacitate those that would otherwise escape their Sloggoth’s grasping claws. | ||

Unless otherwise specified, if an objective is within a model’s combat range, that model is contesting that objective. If any models in a unit are contesting an objective, that unit is contesting that objective.Each unit can only count as contesting a single objective for the purposes of determining objective control (see 32.2). Before determining objective control, for each of their units contesting two or more objectives, the active player must pick one of those objectives for it to contest. Then, their opponent does the same.

32.2 Objective Control
At the start of the first battle round and at the end of each turn, follow this sequence for each objective in an order chosen by the active player:- Starting with the active player, each player determines the control score of each of their units that is contesting that objective. A unit’s control score is the combined Control characteristics of all the models in that unit that are contesting the objective. Some abilities modify a unit’s control score, but it cannot be reduced to less than 1.
- Each player adds up the control scores of all of their units contesting that objective. This is their army control score for that objective.
- The players compare their army control scores for that objective. If one player’s score is higher, that player gains control of that objective. Once a player gains control of an objective, it remains under their control until their opponent gains control of it.
| Sometimes objective markers get accidentally nudged while you are moving models around. This is perfectly fine - just remember to put them back in their proper positions when determining objective control. | ||

3.3 Reinforced Units
When you add a unit to your army roster, you can add it as a reinforced unit. A reinforced unit has twice as many models as its minimum unit size and costs twice as many points. If a unit has a minimum unit size of 1, it cannot be reinforced.
15.3 Pile-in Moves
Some abilities, such as FIGHT abilities, allow a unit to make a short move called a pile-in move to get into a better position for combat. To do so:If your unit is in combat: Pick an enemy unit your unit is in combat with to be the target of the pile-in move. Each model in your unit can move up to 3". That move can pass through the combat ranges of any enemy units, but each model must end that move no further from the target unit. At the end of the move, your unit must still be in combat with all units that it was in combat with at the start of the move.
If your unit is not in combat: Each model in your unit can move 3" in any direction. That move can pass through and end within the combat ranges of any enemy units.

19.0 Strike-first and Strike-last
If there are any STRIKE-FIRST units in combat at the start of the phase, other units cannot be picked to use a FIGHT ability until those units have been picked to use a FIGHT ability. After all those STRIKE-FIRST units have fought, the active player picks the next unit to fight.If there are any STRIKE-LAST units in combat, they cannot be picked to use a FIGHT ability if there are any units in combat that do not have STRIKE-LAST and have not yet used a FIGHT ability.
If a unit has STRIKE-FIRST and STRIKE-LAST, treat it as if it had neither.
| 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. | ||
