Bashin' Boyz

The Bashin' Boyz is an Ork warband operating out of the Sorvinian Wilds. It is led by the Warboss Zodstuff Gorurty who is currently trying to come back from an embarassing defeat at the hand of rival Ork Warbands to the north.

Background
The warband likely came into existance only shortly before the Imperium made contact with the sector. The group has had anumber of changing warbosses but the most recent warboss to rise to prominence is Zodstuff Gorurty, a ruthless Ork who at one point nearly all of the Orkish territory in the Wilds. Recently however, the Bashin' Boyz have suffered several nasty defeats at the hands of upstart Ork warbands muscling into their territory. This has caused many among his ranks to feel that a replacement for their Warboss is in order. It's clear that Zodstuff's rule hangs by a thread and he will grasp at anything to affirm his position as the baddest and meanest Ork in the Wilds.

The Bashin' Boyz are peculiar among other Ork Warbands in that they openly and willingly allow any non-ork tough enough to join their ranks. One of the most obvious examples of this is the inclusion of a Tau Mercenary known as Shas'ui Boran who serves as one of the Warboss's elite troops.

Disposition
The Bashin' Boyz, like many other Orks, are agressive and always on the look out for new fights and exploits. However among the many Ork bands that exist in the Wilds, they are perhaps one of the few groups greenskins that an individual can make a "peaceful" encounter with. This "peaceful" encounter will come only after a squad of Ork boys greets the party with choppas armed and only after the crew gives these boys a good fight will the Bashin' Boyz have any interest in talking with whoever it that wishes to open communications. This tactic is used to ensure that the Warboss is enlisting the help of only the very best that the Wilds have to offer. Only once this rite of passage has been fulfilled may a traveler be considered for an audience with the Warboss.

Activities in the Wilds
At the moment, the Bashin' Boyz's main concern in the Wilds is reclaiming their lost territory from their rival warbands. The massive losses of territory in Ork Space have put the Warboss in a very compromising position and only through leading his Warband to great feats can he truely regain their respect. Therefore, much of the activities of the Bashin' Boyz in the Wilds consist of taking back worlds lost to rival warbands and even plunder non-ork worlds in search of a fight that can satisfy both the Warboss and his boyz enough to regain their loyalty.
