Orruk Warclans – The Powerful Orc Force Fighting for Dominance
Orruk Warclans is a brutal and unstoppable faction in Age of Sigmar, consisting of three main orc clans: Ironjawz, Kruleboyz, and Bonegrinz. Orruks are warlike creatures who live solely for battle and destruction. Their natural brutality and thirst for chaos make them one of the most fearsome forces in the Mortal Realms. The Orruks are divided into different clans, each with a distinct fighting style, but all share a common goal – the pursuit of endless war.

History and Customs of the Orruk Warclans
Orruks have always embodied brutality and primal strength. They live in clans, each possessing unique customs, but one thing is certain – every battle is a sacred event for them. The Orruk Warclans faction is divided into three main subfactions:
- Ironjawz – the largest and most powerful orcs, equipped with heavy armor and massive axes. They thrive on direct combat and brutal clashes.
- Kruleboyz – cunning and sly orcs who employ poisons, traps, and ambushes to dominate their enemies.
- Bonegrinz – wild and feral orcs who worship the god of war Gorkamork and draw strength from their savage way of life.
Orruks believe that the purpose of life is to fight. They have no complex traditions or philosophies; for them, only one rule matters – the strong survive, the weak are destroyed. Every battle is an opportunity to prove their worth, and every campaign is a chance to expand and enrich their clan. Orruks wage ceaseless wars, clashing with both order and chaos forces.
Leaders and Deities of the Orruk Warclans
Orruks worship the war god Gorkamork, a dual-natured entity. Gork represents brutality and straightforward fighting, while Mork embodies cunning and guile. This duality is reflected in the division of the orcs into various clans – some honor brute strength, others favor more deceptive tactics.
One of the most prominent leaders of the Orruk Warclans is Gordrakk, Fist of Gork, the mighty warlord of the Ironjawz, who leads the orc armies onto the battlefield with unmatched ferocity. Gordrakk is known for uniting the orc clans under his banner and guiding them to great victories.
Strengths and Weaknesses of the Orruk Warclans in Game
- Strengths: Orruk Warclans excel in close combat. Ironjawz are powerful units capable of enduring massive damage and delivering devastating blows. Kruleboyz offer cunning tactics and ambushes, making them versatile in battle. Bonegrinz have large numbers and wild fury, allowing them to dominate the battlefield through sheer volume and ferocity.
- Weaknesses: Despite their strength, Orruks are relatively primitive and lack the advanced technology or magic that other factions possess. They are also vulnerable to ranged attacks and magic, as their natural brutality does not always shield them from long-range enemy strikes.

Orruk Warclans in 4th Edition Age of Sigmar
In the 4th edition of Age of Sigmar, following the events of Skaventide, the Orruk Warclans become even more united and dangerous. Ironjawz and Kruleboyz have new combat tactics, and the Bad Moon, which accompanies the goblins of Gloomspite Gitz, also influences the orc forces, enhancing their power. The introduction of new units and abilities enables more strategic maneuvers, with Gordrakk continuing his relentless campaign, leading the orcs to ever greater victories.
