Lukky Grikk an’ ‘iz Lukky Stikk
It is unusual, though not impossible, for a lesser Boss and his mob to toil under a Mekboss rather than a Warboss when a Big Mek gets big enough to earn a WAAAGH! of his own. Such was the case with Mekboss Urdwak Grimlag, and it remained as such even when the wily old Mek’s forces were absorbed into Warlord Ghrutak da Mangla’s fungal crusade. ‘Lukky’ Grikk Gristlefist was - and indeed is - one such boss, still carrying along his Lukky Stikk, which he insists is ‘da gen-yoo-in artikul, original Makari speshul’. That it’s probably the only thing in his possession that hasn’t been nicked off him and then nicked back at some point implies that it might be half as lucky as he thinks it is...
Both Speedboss Zagdakka and Mekboss Grimlag continued to delegate Warlord Ghrutak’s bellowing orders to their subordinate Bosses, and while neither half of WAAAGH! Ghrutak particularly liked one another (citing key dogmatic schisms on whether it was best to be fast and shooty or shooty and fast), it was not unusual to see bosses and nobs of either half clobbering boyz of all stripes and affiliations, discouraging any mukkin’ about. Though the SpeedWAAAGH! and the Dread WAAAGH! divided more evenly along lines of vocation and obsession than they did the Clans, the Evil Sunz and Deathskulls held majorities in each respectively, and often worked together if an uppity Bad Moon needed his teef kicked out and his snazzy shoota ‘redistributed’...
When I want to run my boyz as something other than the Sunz for a change, I’ll break out this fella, and I might paint up the more ‘Dread Mob’ parts of the army to go with him. After all, it doesn’t matter what colour the ladz are - if the Boss sez you iz blue or red, that’s wot you iz, an’ ‘e’ll give yer a thump if you disagree!
