Chapter 1: Introduction Orks are the most populous, most violent and (some would say) the most successful species in the entire galaxy. For thousands of years the Orkoid race has spread across the stars, colonising planets and spacehulks alike in their unceasing quest for battle and glory. Orks are warlike, crude and highly aggressive. Their entire ‘kulture’ is based around combat and physical prowess, and battle is the only place an ork is truly happy. Orks believe in two gods: Gork, the god of cunning brutality; and Mork, the god of brutal cunning, (the subtle difference being that one hits you when you aren't looking, the other does so hard when you are). However, due to their aggressive and warlike nature, the massive ork race is split into hundreds of tiny empires, warring as much between themselves as against other races. In the purely theoretical event all the Orks were to unite, they would undoubtedly crush all opposition. About this Role-playing game. I’ve always loved orks. They’re noisy, crude and love a good fight; how can you not admire that? A number of years ago Games Workshop released a table top game called GorkaMorka. Heavily inspired by the Mad Max movies, players put together gangs of orks who raced around a desert planet in ramshackle trukks and bikes, fighting over scrap metal and resources. All in the hope that they could one day put their ruined spacehulk back together and it would do sumfing. I was inspired by this game; for once orks were portrayed as having a bit more depth than just being green-skinned aliens for your Space Marines to shoot at. Orks could be people too. Very loud, violent people. This idea stuck with me and when, a few years ago, my usual role-playing group were trying to think of something new to play, I suggested I create a GorkaMorka game for them. It was an instant success, and the notes for that game became the early version of this fanbook; Waaagh! Da Orks. The rules have been refined a bit since then, and hopefully if you’re reading this you’re interested in running a game as well. I hope you have as much fun as we did. WAAAGH!

Chapter 2: Stats

Primary Stats There are five primary stats in Waaagh da Orks; Brawn, Brains, Size, Nimbleness and Luck. A balance exists between an Ork's Brawn/ Brains and Size/ Nimbleness. Normally all stats are capped at 10 points each but, by lowering the maximum of an opposing stat, a character can raise a stat beyond 10. For example, if a character wishes to raise his Brawn to 14, his maximum Brains would be 6. If a character's stat is already at 10, then he cannot voluntarily lower it to raise the opposite stat. The balance CAN be overridden using bioniks. Brawn Strength and power. Brawn measures how physically strong an Ork is, which is possibly one of the most important attributes of an Ork. Brawn affects damage done in close combat and how much gear an Ork can easily carry. Brains Smarts and cunning. While many might not think so, Orks can be exceptionally intelligent, especially when it comes to devious animal cunning. Smartboyz, Spannaboyz, Painboyz and Mekboyz are some of the more common Brainy Orks. Size Physical size and resilience. An average Ork stands around 6 foot tall, whereas the smaller Grots are usually around 3 foot tall. For every 2 points of Size above 4 a character has he gains an extra foot of height. For example; an Ork with Size 6 stands at 7 feet tall. A Grot with a size of 6 is only 4 feet tall. Due to Ork social dynamics, Size also governs leadership and interaction skills, as well as the amount of hit points an Ork has. Nimbleness Agility and speed. Nimbleness measures how quickly an Ork can react, how agile he is and also how good his hand-eye co-ordination is. Nimbleness is crucial to ranged combat and initiative. Luck How often Gork and Mork smile on the character. For every point of Luck a character has, he gains a Luck Point. Luck points can be spent during a skill test to add an extra 1d10 to the roll, increasing the chance of success. Once spent, Luck points are gone (although the stat remains at the original level). A GM may reward characters with Luck points following a particularly good session. Be aware, using a Luck Point also doubles your chances of a Fumble! Secondary Stats There are also 7 secondary stats, derived from the primary stats. Movement (Nimbleness x 3m) How fast a character can move in combat. A character can move this distance and also act normally. If a character takes no other action he can move double his movement in a round.

Leap (Movement /4m) How far a character can long-jump from a running start. Without a run-up a character can leap half this distance. Carry (Brawn x 10kg) How much a character can carry comfortably. Characters can exceed this limit, but must make an endurance check (the DC set by the GM based on the amount over the load is) every hour he carries the load or be forced to stop of a rest. Lift (Brawn x 40kg) How much a character can dead-lift. A character can lift this amount for 5 rounds, but after that he is required to make a DC 15 Endurance check each round to maintain the lift. Hits (Size x 6) How much damage a character can sustain before he dies. Due to the robust nature of Ork physiology Orks suffer no penalties for being wounded; they simply carry on fighting until they die. Orks (and Grots) also slowly regenerate damage; healing 1 Hit per hour until fully healed. Surgery and certain drugs used by Painboyz can increase the amount of Hits regenerated (see Combat chapter later). Toughness (Size /3) How much damage a character's skin can absorb before he begins to loose Hits. This amount is taken off damage after armour. Toughness always counts against physical damage, even Armour Piercing weapons, but can be ignored by poisons, radiation and similar effects. Round up fractions when calculating this stat. Damage bonus (Brawn /3) How much extra damage a character adds to brawl and melee damage. Round up fractions when calculating this stat.

Chapter 3: Skills Skill Checks Skill checks are made by rolling 1 d10 and adding the result to your skill levels and the associate stat, aiming to get over the GM-set Difficulty Class. For example: Grotstikka tries to shoot Snazzgrabba as he charges towards him. The GM tells Grotsikka the DC for the shot is 15. Grotstikka's Smallarms skill level is 5 and his Nimbleness is 7 (a total of 12) and he rolls a 7 on the d10 for a total of 19. Success! Difficulty Classes When making a skill check, the GM will assign a Difficulty Class (DC) based on how easy (or not) the task is. Task Example DC Easy Kicking a Grot a few feet with a running start. 10 Average Climbing a rough wall with good hand-holds. 15 Difficult Spotting a hiding kommando. 20 Hard Intimidating a Skarboy. 25 Very Hard Punching out a Warboss. 30 Rolling 10s and Fumbles When making a skill check there is the chance of rolling either a 10 or a 1 on the dice. Rolls of a 10 are a good thing; a sign that your character has done especially well. When a 10 is rolled, you may roll a second d10, adding the result to the first. If another 10 is rolled, you may roll a third d10. Any further results of 10 do not result in extra d10s. Conversely, a roll of a 1 is a bad thing; a sign that your character has failed in an especially unfortunate manner. When a 1 is rolled, you must roll another d10; this determines how badly you have failed. Consult the following charts to see the result: Non-combat Fumbles (Sneak, Awareness, etc.) 1-3 No Fumble, you just fail at what you're trying to do. 4-6 Wow, do you fail. It's painfully obvious to everyone around you how useless you are. 7-8 Epic fail! You screw up what you're working on; raise the difficulty by 5 and try again. 9-10 You completely fail at what you are trying to do, but are completely oblivious to your error. If you are crafting something, the device will not function, or possibly explode when used! Combat fumbles 1-3 No Fumble, you just miss your target. 4-6 Dropped weapon. You must spend a turn picking it up again, or draw another weapon. 7-8 Weapon Jam! You must clear the jam before you can use it again. If using a melee weapon, it embeds itself in the ground. 9 You injure yourself. Roll a random location and damage from your weapon. 10 You somehow manage to injure one of your friends. Roll a random location and damage from your weapon. Waaagh! fumbles 1-3 You get a splitting headache and the power fails. 4-6 Coloured lights flash in front of your eyes. The next Waaagh! Power you attempt is at +5 difficulty.

7-8 You vomit excess energy and collapse. You cannot use your Waaagh! Powers again for 1d6 rounds. 9 Excess Waaagh! energy bleeds out in all directions. Inflicting 3d6 damage on anything within 10m. 10 Your head explodes, killing you. The backlash of energy inflicts 4d6 damage on anything within 20 metres. Unskilled Characters If a character does not have a skill but needs to make a check, they can still roll but obviously only add their stat to the roll (as they have no skill to add).

Size Skills Endurance Endurance allows an Ork to ignore pain, resist poisons and sustain strenuous physical activity. Impress Impress allows a character to command and inspire other Orks through sheer force of personality (and size).

See the Weirdboy chapter for details of how this skill works.

Weirdboys Weirdboys, also known as Warpheads, are Orks who are able to tap into the ambient psychic field projected by all Orkoids and manipulate the psychic energy to produce powerful blasts, protective fields and to bolster nearby allies. However, as useful as Weirdboys may be, Orks are always cautious around them due to the unfortunate accidents that can occur when they become 'overstimulated' by too many nearby Orks. Powers 'Ead smasha This power allows a Weirdboy to harness Waaagh! energy into a destructive blast. This power can inflict up to 6d6 damage, but the more damage, the more difficult it is to control.

Chapter 4: Character Generation Step 1: Choose Race There are 2 playable races in Waaagh da Orks; Orks and Grots. Orks are the primary race on all Ork worlds; tough and strong and bred for war. They only emerge from fungus groves once the groves reach a certain size. Grots are the lesser race of Orkology, spawned from the fungus groves earlier and intended to server their larger brethren, although they benefit from faster reflexes and sharper minds. Ork Characters Orks are the default character race. They have no special rules outside of the normal rules laid out in this document. Grot Characters Grot characters have a maximum Brawn of 5 (but conversely a maximum Brains of 15) and a maximum Size of 4 (and thus a maximum Nimbleness of 16). Grots also suffer from a much lower social standing to Orks, occupying the station of slaves, servants and, sometimes, food for Orks. Step 2: Buy Stats All characters have 25 points to distribute amongst their stats. The maximum starting stat for any character (Ork or Grot) is 8. Step 3: Buy Skills All characters have 50 points to spend on skills. The maximum level for any skill is 10, both at character gen and afterwards. Step 4: Purchase Equipment A starting character begins with 1d6 x 10 teef. A benevolent GM might let a starting character punch his own teeth out at character gen for bonus cash (3d6 teef). If the players are all starting as an established gang they may pool teef to purchase gang vehicles. Step 5: Waaagh! Wot you waitin' for you lousy grot? Waaagh!

Chapter 5: Gear Teef An average Orky mouth contains between 20 and 30 teef at any one time. Teef are shed and replaced once every month, giving the Ork a monthly income of 5d6 teef. Loose teef slowly erode and become unusable as currency after a year or so. Punching out another Ork’s teef will usually yield around 3d6 teef. Weapons Weaponry forms a large part of any Orks life.

Orky Forts Some Orks, big and powerful Orks, gather enough teef and boyz to build themselves a fort or similar headquarters. The following structures can be bought and incorporated into a fort, and can be bought all at once or added to an existing fort after initial construction. Structure Cost Shack 20 teef Grot shack 10 teef Squig kennel 50 teef Squiggoth paddock 500 teef Fort 1,500 teef Mega fort 3,000 teef Wall 1,000 teef 'eavy wall 2,000 teef Brewery 800 teef Dok's surgery 500 teef Mek's shop 500 teef Ripperdok's surgery 1,000 teef Fungus patch 250 teef Lookout tower 250 teef Fightin' pit 40 teef Weirdboy hut 60 teef Shack A simple wood or metal shack where a few Orks can shelter from the elements and cook up some squig stew.

'eavy wall A 20 metre tall reinforced armoured wall, incorporating a number of gates and towers. The top of the wall is wide enough for Orks to patrol along. The wall has an average SP of 30 and each 20m section has a total SDP 250. Brewery A shack equipped with stills, mulching vats, condensers and all the other necessary apparatus for creating the wide range of fungus-based Ork alcohols. Breweries have the unfortunate habit of exploding if mistreated. Using a brewery confers a +2 bonus to all Brewing checks. Dok's surgery A shack equipped with operating tables, restraints, saws, anaesthetic-hammers and pickling vats. Using a Dok's surgery confers a +5 bonus to all Surgery checks.

Using a Mek's shop confers a +5 bonus to all Basic Tech, High Tech and Explosives checks. Ripperdok's surgery Party Mek shop, part Dok surgery. Ripperdok's specialise in bionik replacements and upgrades, and are a hazardous place to be if you're a healthy Ork! Using a Ripperdok's surgery confers a +2 bonus to all Basic Tech and Surgery rolls and a +5 bonus to all Bioniks rolls. Fungus patch A large spoil heap filled with fungus of all sizes, harvested by Orks for food. Fungus patches, once large enough, also begin to spawn all manner of Orkoid species; first squigs, then Snotlings, then Grots and finally Orks. Lookout tower A tall tower with a reasonably armoured cupola at the top. The height granted by the tower confers a +2 bonus to Sight-based Awareness checks. The tower has an average SP of 12 and a total SDP 90. Fightin' pit A pit dug into the earth, surrounded by tiers of simple benches, the fightin' pit is both a form of entertainment and also an important part of Ork politics. Orks who feel their current boss isn't good enough can challenge him to single combat, and these fights for leadership almost always take place in a fightin' pit. Other battles, between Ork boyz, Squigs and slaves are often staged for entertainment. Weirdboy hut A small shack with copper panels and rods built into it, to better earth the destructive energies of weirdboys. Such huts are always built away from other Ork structures, to minimise the latent psychic field the weirdboy within has access to. A Weirdboy hut grants a weirdboy character a re-roll on any failed Waaagh! Check while he is within the hut.

Crafting Orks are designed to instinctively know how to build the items they need, from guns to armour to vehicles. Some Orks retain more of this knowledge than others; these are usually referred to as Spannaboyz, Mekboyz and Bigmekz, depending on their level of expertise. To create an item a character must have the appropriate skill, as indicated below, and access to tools, a workspace and the raw materials to manufacture the item. Basic Tech All basic melee and ranged weapons (Choppas, Chainswords, Sluggas, Shootas, etc), armour, vehicles and gear. Anything that runs on combustion engines, hydraulics, basic alloys and simple electronics. High Tech Power Klaws, Blastas and Mega-blastas, Zzap kannons and Shok attack guns, as well as Forcefields and Mega armour. Anything that runs of fusion, energy fields, advanced electronics or advanced alloys and metallurgy. Brewing Alcohol brewed from fungus, which in Ork society is used for all manner of tasks depending on the percentage of raw alcohol in it. Fungus Ale (and all variations thereof), fuel for vehicles and also fuel for Burnas and Skortchas. Explosives Anything explosive! Stikkbombs, Tank bustas and also Kannon rounds. Bioniks Bioniks! This is fairly obvious. If a bionik incorporates another device such as a power klaw, shoota or similar then the device is treated as a Basic Tech or High Tech roll, rather than a Bionik. Crafting difficulty To determine the difficulty of crafting the device, check the table below: Device DC Simple, no working parts, made from basic alloys. Choppers, Knives, etc. 10 Basic firearms, simple engines. Shootas, sluggas, armour, etc. 15 Complex gears, advanced alloys. Power fields. Blastas, Heavy armour, etc. 20 Advanced mechanisms, potentially dangerous items. Zzap kannons, Shok guns 25 Very rare and dangerous technology. Mega armour, Stompas, etc. 30 Time and Materials The time required to manufacture a device is worked out by halving the total cost of the finished device. This amount is the number of hours it takes to create the device, and also the amount of teef the raw materials cost to build it. For every point over the required DC to manufacture the device the character rolls, the time taken is reduced by 1 hour. For example: Ruzruk is building a Mega-blasta. A mega-blasta requires a DC 20 High Tech skill check and normally costs 80 teef. The raw materials cost 40 teef. Ruzruk makes his skill check and gets a total of 25, meaning that he succeeds in creating the weapon. Normally the blasta would take 40 hours to build, but due to his roll is only takes 35 hours.

If the skill check to build a device exceeds the DC by more than 10 then the device is of especially high quality, otherwise known as Flash. Depending on the device, the effects of being Flash vary; Flash weapon +1 Accuracy (this stacks with any upgrades that also grant bonus accuracy) Flash vehicle +1 Handling Flash armour +1 SP Flash bionik +5 SDP. If the bionik incorporates a weapon then it also gains +1 accuracy Other devices, such as gear and buildings, gain no bonus from being Flash. They just look Dead 'Ard!

Chapter 6: Vehicles Vehicle stats All vehicles share common stats; Type The skill the vehicle falls under. SDP (Structural Damage Points) SDP work like Hit points. They are removed when a vehicle takes damage. When a vehicle looses half its SDP the Handling drops by -1, when they reach 0 the vehicle explodes in an impressive fireball. SP (Stopping Power) The base armour value of the vehicle. Damage inflicted on the vehicle is decreased by this amount before SDP loss is calculated. Max Speed The maximum speed the vehicle is capable of. Acceleration The speed at which the vehicle accelerates towards its max speed each round. Handling The bonus to all Drive check that the vehicle grants. Crew The amount of Orks the vehicles require to operate. Passengers The amount of Orks who can (sensibly) ride inside the vehicle. More orks can cling to the outside of a vehicle, but they must make checks whenever the vehicle performs a manoeuvre. Cost The amount of teef the vehicle costs. Vehicles Bike Bikes are two-wheeled, single-seater vehicles with no armour and only light weaponry. They are among the most popular and common Ork vehicles.

Red paint job Cost: 10 teef Create DC: 10 Red wunz go fasta! The upgrade confers a +1 bonus to the vehicle’s handling. Gun mount Cost: 15 teef, plus cost of weapon Create DC: 10 A gun mount bolts any heavy- or vehicle-class weapon onto the hull, which can be fired by any passenger. A single heavy weapon can be mounted for the driver to fire, but this costs an extra 50 teef. Firing a driver-linked weapon counts as a second action, conferring a -3 to the roll to hit as well as any driving rolls made that round. Grab-bars Cost: 20 teef Create DC: 10 Grab-bars are sets of rungs and hand-holds welded to the outside of the vehicle, which mean Orks hanging onto the vehicle are less likely to fall off. Any Ork hanging onto a grab-bar gets a +2 to their Athletics checks to avoid falling off. Rammin spike Cost: 30 teef Create DC: 15 A vehicle equipped with a rammin spike inflicts +2d6 damage when ramming other vehicles. This is added to the damage taken by the other vehicle after all other calculations and is not added to the damage taken by the ram-equipped vehicle. This bonus only counts if the ramming vehicle strikes the target with the spike. Speed Boosta Cost: 50 teef Create DC: 15 A Speed Boosta increases speed for a short time by dumping high-octane fuel into the engine. The boost gives the vehicle +20 mph to it’s current speed (even if this takes it above it’s maximum speed) and a +10m increase to it’s acceleration. While boosted the vehicle is hard to control, conferring a Drive penalty of -2. Due to the unpredictable nature of the system, the speed boost only lasts for 1d3+1 rounds, after which the tanks empty and the Boosta needs to be refuelled.

Waaagh! Da Orks

Turbo Rokkitz Cost: 70 teef Create DC: 20 Turbo Rokkits are two large rocket engines strapped haphazardly to the vehicle, which can be fired to provide a brief, insane, speed boost. Turbo Rokkitz are very unpredictable, sometimes they hurl the vehicle forward, sometimes they misfire, other times they detonate; blowing the vehicle to scrap! When firing a set of Turbo Rokkitz, the Drive must make a Luck check. Success indicates the Rokkitz fire as hoped and the vehicle’s speed increases by +40 mph (even if this takes it above it’s maximum speed) and a +20 increase to it’s acceleration. The Rokkitz last for 1d3 rounds. While boosted the vehicle is hard to control, conferring a Drive penalty of -4. If the roll fails then the Rokkitz splutter and short out, the drive may attempt to fire them again next round. If the roll is a critical failure then the Rokkitz detonate, inflicting 5d10 damage to the vehicle and any crew within 10 metres. Once a set of Turbo Rokkitz has been fired they are spent and require replacing. ‘eavy armour Cost: 50 teef Create DC: 15 Heavy steel plates are bolted onto the vehicle, increasing the overall SP to 25 but halving the maximum mph. Wreckin ball Cost: 45 teef Create DC: 15 A wreckin ball allows Orks riding in the vehicle to attack adjacent vehicles. It has the profile below and is used as a Melee weapon, opposed by a Drive roll from the target vehicle’s driver.

Weapon Type Acc Dam Rng Wreckin ball Melee -2 4d10 3m

Grabba Cost: 40 teef Create DC: 15 A grabba is a large hydraulic claw that latches onto enemy vehicles to prevent them from escaping. Once latched onto an enemy vehicle, the target vehicle cannot move away and automatically matches the attacking vehicle’s speed. The grabba can be destroyed, and has a SP of 10 and 20 SDP. It takes a full round for a grabba to latch onto it’s target, during which the target can attempt to escape. Boardin’ plank Cost: 20 teef Create DC: 10 A boarding plank is bolted to the floor of a vehicle and is used to cross from one vehicle to another, usually during a boarding action, without having to jump between the two. Using a Boarding plank to board a moving vehicle confers a +2 bonus to the Athletics roll required to move between moving vehicles. A Boarding plank may be destroyed, it has a SP of 5 and 15 SDP.

Stikkbom chucka Cost: 35 teef Create DC: 15 A Stikkbom chucka fires standard Stikkbomz, launching them up to 50 metres at enemy targets. A chukka can be loaded with different types of Stikkbom and is fired by a member of the vehicle crew.

Chapter 7: Bioniks Bioniks are artificial replacements -or sometimes upgrades- for Ork limbs and organs. Orks are very robust, and can survive surgeries that would kill a weaker creature, so many bioniks are very primitive in nature and design. Installation surgery When an Ork undergoes bionik surgery, the Ripperdok must make a surgery check, the DC of which is determined by how complicated the device being implanted is. This DC is determined by the surgery code. The surgery also inflicts a certain amount of damage on the Ork undergoing the implantation, also dictated by the surgery code. Surgery code Surgery DC Surgery damage Minor 15 2d6 Major 20 3d6 Critical 25 4d6 Bioniks Hook hand (4 teef, Minor surgery) Replaces an arm with a basic prosthetic tipped with an iron hook rather than a hand. It can perform basic actions but cannot hold a weapon. Does 1d6 damage (plus SB) and has 10 SDP. Deluxe hook hand (8 teef, Minor surgery) The same as the hook hand, except the hook can be unscrewed and replaced with either a choppa or a slugga. The arm is slightly better built and also has a coat of red paint. Does 1d6 damage (hook hand), has SP 5 and 12 SDP. Bionik arm (12 teef, Major surgery) Basic arm replacement. Does 2d6 damage (plus SB) with a punch, has SP 10 and 20 structural damage points. Big crusha arm (18 teef, Major surgery) A large hydraulic arm with long claws. Does 3d6 damage (plus SB) with a punch but is at -1 Nimbleness to all actions performed with that arm. It has SP 12 and 30 structural damage points. Gubbinz arm (16 teef, Major surgery) A basic bionik arm that has a number of tools built into it. Does 2d6 damage (plus SB) with a punch, has SP 5 and 20 structural damage points. It also counts as a Dok’s toolkit and Mek’s toolkit and grants a +1 bonus to any Basic tech and Surgery rolls. Iron Gob (12 teef, Minor surgery) A sharpened iron trap bolted to the lower jaw. Allows the Ork to make a bite attack for 1d6+2 damage (no SB) and also adds +1 to Intimidate and Impress rolls. Peg leg (6 teef, Minor surgery) Very basic leg replacement. Does 1d6+2 damage (plus SB) and has 10 SDP. Bionik leg (10 teef, Major surgery) Basic leg replacement. Does 3d6 damage (plus SB) with a kick, has SP 10 and 20 structural damage points.

Waaagh! Da Orks

33

Jumpin’ legs (20 teef, Critical surgery) Replaces both legs, granting increased speed and jumping ability due to powerful hydraulics. Increases a character's Movement to 40m and LEAP to 10m. Does 3d6 damage (plus SB) with a kick, has SP 5 and 20 structural damage points. Gyro-stabilised monowheel (40 teef, Critical surgery) Replaces both legs with a motorised wheel, allowing the character to zoom around at high speeds. Increases a character's Movement to 60m and granting him an overland speed of 90 mph. The wheel has a SP of 6 and 30 SDP. Bionik bonce (20 teef, Critical surgery) An adamantium skull, granting SP 20 to the head. Any head-butt attacks do 2d6 (plus SB) damage. Bionik eye (10 teef, Major surgery) Basic eye replacement. Includes a targeting scope (+1 to ranged attack rolls) and also includes a x10 zoom. Grants a +1 to sight-based Awareness checks per eye. Armour plates (10 teef, Major surgery) Large plates of armour anchored to the Ork’s skin, armouring the body location to SP 18. For every 2 locations armoured the Ork looses takes a -1 penalty to all Nimbleness checks. Fightin’ juice implant (16 teef, Major surgery) A small implant that can be activated to release Fightin’ Juice from an internal reservoir. When active grants +2 to melee damage, -2 to hit and +2 Toughness for 1d6 rounds. The reservoir holds 3 charges, after which it must be refilled (see the equipment chapter for prices). Brain tinkerin’ (18 teef, Critical surgery) Implants in the Ork’s brain grant increased reaction-speed and aggressiveness. Gives a +5 bonus to Initiative but permanently reduces Brains by 2. Bionik organs (12 teef, Major surgery) Artificial organs which grant increased durability. The Ork gains +4 hits and a +2 bonus to Endurance checks. Replacement limbs (donors) Another alternative to bioniks are donor limbs; limbs 'donated' by other Orks that are grafted onto the stumps of the missing limb by a Ripperdok. Due to the rugged biology of Orkoids, donor limbs are very easy to attach Attaching a donor limb requires a surgery check, but is usually easier than attaching a bionik. Generally the costs of donor limbs are as follows: Limb Cost Surgery code Arm 10t Minor Leg 12t Minor Hand 5t Minor Foot 6t Minor

Chapter 8: Rules Initiative To determine who strikes first in combat, all characters involved in the fight roll their Nimbleness + 1d10. The highest score goes first, and you cannot botch an Initiative roll (just do very badly). Melee combat When characters engage in combat using fists, choppas, clubs or furniture then this is counted as melee combat. The difficulty to hit an opponent in melee combat is determined by a Dodge or Melee check, made each time the target is attacked. If a character lacks either of these skills then the roll is based off their straight Nimbleness. For example: Rutzgob swings his choppa at a rebel Grot. The Grot rolls his Dodge + Nimbleness and gets a total of 14. Rutzgob rolls his Melee + Brawn and gets a total of 16; a hit! Somehow the Grot survives, and swings his club at Rutzgob. The grot gets a total of 12 on his Melee + Brawn roll. Rutzgob attempts to parry the blow, rolling his Melee + Brawn. He rolls poorly and only gets 11; he's been hit! How ever will he live this down? Ranged combat The difficulty to hit a target in ranged combat is determined by the weapon being used;

Distance to target Range DC

Less than 10 metres Point-blank 10

Up to ¼ max range Short range 15

Up to ½ max range Medium range 20

Up to max range Long range 25

Up to x2 max range Extreme range 30 Combat actions Each round a character may either take 2 single actions (such as move and then make a single attack with a weapon) or 1 double action (such as charge). A character cannot repeat the same single action twice per round; both actions must be different. The list of possible actions are as follows: Attack (single action) This is a standard attack action; the character takes a swing with a melee weapon or fires a single shot from a ranged weapon. Move (single/ double action) This action allows a character to jog up to their full movement, as determined by their Movement stat (Nimblessness x3). If a character takes no other action in a round they can use the move double action, doubling their Movement stat. Charge (double action) A character moves up to his full movement into melee combat. Charging grants a +2 bonus to hit and damage rolls.

Reload (single action) This action allows a character to reload a ranged weapon, as long as the character has spare ammunition handy. This action also covers unjamming a stuck weapon. Take Cover (single action) This action allows a character to duck into cover for the rest of the round. See the cover rules for details. Burst fire (single action) Any weapon with a rate of fire listed as 3 (any weapon capable of autofire is also capable of Burst fire) may fire a burst of bullets, rather than a single shot. The attack consumes 3 rounds from the clip. A Burst fire attack grants a +3 bonus to hit. If the attack hits then roll 1d3 to see how many bullets hit the target, and roll hit locations for each bullet separately. A burst attack can be aimed at a specific location, in which case any bullets which hit all strike the same location, inflicting cumulative damage. Autofire (double action) Any weapon with a rate of fire listed as 10 or more may fire a sustained burst of bullets, rather than a single shot. The attack consumes 10 (or 20, 30, etc. as listed in the RoF) rounds from the clip. An autofire attack grants a +1 bonus to hit for every 10 rounds fired. If the attack hits, then 1 bullet strikes the target and an additional bullet strikes for every point over the DC the result was. The bonus to hit is only effective at close-range or closer, past this range, no bonus is gained from the attack, but additional bullets may still strike the target if the roll is high enough. Autofire attacks cannot be aimed at specific locations, so all hits require separate location rolls. If two or more rounds strike the same location, the damage is cumulative. Rounds from an autofire attack that hit may also be spread amongst nearby targets; any target within 3 metres of the initial target may be hit. For example; Ripdakka fires his big shoota at a target, firing 20 rounds. The target is at close range (DC 15) and Ripdakka rolls 7 plus his skill and stat total of 12 for a total of 21; success! As Ripdakka exceeded the DC by 6, he hits with a total of 7 rounds. Aiming (double action) A character may aim an attack for a bonus to hit. Aiming takes an entire round, but the next attack made gains a +1 bonus to hit for every consecutive round spent aiming beforehand, up to a total of +3 (3 rounds of aiming). Both ranged and melee attacks may be aimed. Aimed attacks may also be aimed at specific body (or vehicle) locations. Aiming at a location comes at a penalty to hit, based on the size of the location or object aimed at.

Cover Some times an Ork just needs a nice thick wall to duck behind! Taking cover is a single action. Once in cover a character gains a bonus armour value to any locations behind the cover.

Cover Bonus SP

Thin wood (shack wall) +2

Thick wood (tavern table) +3

Thin metal (trukk door) +5

Thick metal (engine block) +8

Thin stone (brick wall) +4

Thick stone (rocky outcrop) +6

Adamantium (stompa foot) +10 Explosives Certain weapons, such as grenades and explosives, are listed as Blast weapons. When these weapons detonate they do damage to all targets within the distance listed in the weapon description. Any target hit by a blast weapon, except the initial target themself, can attempt to avoid the explosion by making a DC 15 Dodge check. If successful they throw themselves aside at the last moment and only take half damage (rounding up). Armour Piercing weapons Certain weapons, such as plasma weapons and power weapons, are listed as Armour Piercing weapons. These weapons halve the armour of their targets, except for targets protected by a Force field. Catching fire/ Flame weapons Some weapons ignite their targets, covering them in burning fuel. Every round a character is on fire, they cannot take any other action except try to extinguish themselves. To extinguish themselves, a character must make a DC 15 Nimbleness check. If anyone else helps them by throwing water on them, etc. then the character may add +2 to the roll. Every round that a character is on fire they take 1d10 damage, ignoring armour. Radiation Radiation is very harmful to living creatures; even robust lifeforms such as Orks. Radiation fields are often encountered in spacehulks, or near to damaged (or badly made) power cores and reactors. Such fields are completely invisible and impossible to detect until blundered into, at which point they can be felt as an itching or burning of the skin. Radiation fields carry a rating from 1 to 10, indicating their strength, and a radius of effect. When an Ork enters the radius of a radiation field, he takes the strength rating of the field in damage every hour until he leaves the field. Radiation damage ignores normal armour and toughness (some armour protects against radiation – noted in the individual armour descriptions). Because of their natural regeneration, all Orks are effectively immune to level 1 radiation fields.

Vehicle combat When a character enters combat in a vehicle -either as a driver or a passenger- there are a few more rules than normal combat. For the description of these rules, it is assumed the character is driving the vehicle. Vehicle movement Each round of combat a vehicle will move it's current speed in meters. If the vehicle is accelerating then add the Acc stat of the vehicle to this speed. If the vehicle is breaking, halve the previous round's speed. Vehicles move on the same round that their drivers act. For example: Grimstabba's buggy is hurtling along at 90 mph when he enters combat. He acts on initiative 7, so on this initiative his buggy moves 90 meters. Nearby a bike driven by Grimstabba's opponent accelerates. Its speed is currently 100mph and its acceleration is 24m, so this round it moves 124 meters. Vehicles vs. Orks If an Ork on a vehicle uses a melee weapon to attack an Ork on foot or an Ork on a slower-moving vehicle, then the speed difference is added as a damage bonus. Every 10 mph of difference adds +1 damage. If the combat is taking place between the crews of two moving vehicles, then the damage bonus is calculated from the speed difference of the two vehicles. For example: Flashnob is on his bike travelling 60 mph, attacking an Ork on the back of a trukk travelling at 40mph. Flashnob will gain a damage bonus of +2 (60-40=20). If a vehicle hits an Ork on foot, then the vehicle inflicts 1d6 of damage for every 10 mph it was travelling at the time of impact. The Ork may make a Luck roll to negate the first 1d6. A critical failure on the Luck roll means the Ork has fallen under the vehicle, rather than jumping out of the way! If an Ork falls under the wheels of a moving vehicle, then he will take increased damage from the weight of the vehicle. An Ork being crushed by a vehicle takes damage based on the speed the vehicle, with no Luck roll allows to negate any damage. The damage dice are then multiplied by the modifier below (based on the weight of the vehicle):

Vehicle weight Vehicle Damage Very-light Bike x2 Light Buggy, Trakk x3 Medium Trukk, Wagon x4 Heavy Tank, Deffdread x5 Super-heavy Stompa x10

Ramming When two vehicles collide head-on, or one vehicle t-bones another, combine the speeds. Both vehicles take the speed divided by 10 in d6. Following a collision both drivers need to make a DC 20 Drive check to avoid loosing control of their vehicle for the next round. In side-on or rear-end collisions the damage is calculated from the speed difference. Both drivers need to make a DC 15 Drive check to avoid loosing control of their vehicles for the next round. For example: A trukk moving at 60 mph sideswipes a wagon moving at 40 mph. The damage done to both vehicles is 2d6 (60-40=20, divided by 10=2).

Waaagh! Da Orks

38

Boarding vehicles To board a moving vehicle an Ork must make an Athletics roll, the DC of which is 5 for every 10 mph the vehicle is moving. If the Ork succeeds he boards the vehicle. If the roll fails then the Ork misses and does not board (if the Ork was jumping from one vehicle to another then he will take damage from the fall and also get left behind!). A critical failure means the Ork has fallen under the wheels of the vehicle and takes damage as such. For example: Flashnob tries to jump onto an oncoming wagon that is travelling at 40 mph. He needs to make a DC 20 Athletics check. He makes his check and gets a total of 21; Flashgit jumps aboard. The system is the same for Orks jumping from one vehicle to another, but the DC is calculated from the speed difference of the two vehicles. If the two vehicles are travelling at the same speed, no roll is required. For example: Flashnob tries to jump from a wagon onto a speeding trukk. The wagon is travelling 50 mph, the trukk is travelling 20 mph. Flashnob’s DC for the jump is 15 (50-20=30). Jumping and falling from moving vehicles If an Ork jumps or falls from a moving vehicle they will take 1d6 damage per 10 mph the vehicle was travelling. The Ork can negate this damage by making an Athletics roll. The total result of the roll is taken from the vehicle speed when calculating damage. This damage negates any armour the Ork might be wearing. For example: Flashnob has jumped from a trukk that was travelling at 30 mph. He makes his Athletics check and gets a total of 20. Flashnob will therefore only take 1d6 damage (30 – 20 = 10). Hangin’ on Orks don’t always ride inside vehicles; if a trukk, buggy or wagon is full, then often other Orks will just grab onto the side of the vehicle and hitch a lift! Whenever a vehicle is rammed, breaks suddenly or performs a high-speed manoeuvre any Orks hanging onto the sides need to make an Athletics roll to avoid being thrown off. The DC of the Strength Feat roll is the same as the manoeuvre performed by the driver. For example: If a wagon driver is broadsided by another wagon, all hangers-on need to make a DC 20 Anthletics roll to avoid being thrown off. Injury and Death All characters have a number of hit points based on their Size stat (Size x 6) that govern how much damage they can take before they die. When a character takes damage, the damage is reduced by their Toughness (unless the damage is from something like Radiation, which ignores Toughness) and the character's hits are reduced by the residual damage. When a character's hits drop to 0 or below they are knocked unconscious, unable to act until revived (by a Surgery check) or until they regenerate enough Hits to put them back to 1 Hit point. If a character drops to -10 Hits or below, they die. There is nothing more that can be done for them, except maybe turning them into spare parts for a Ripperdok or adding them to the menu!

Locational hits All characters have 6 body locations they can be hit in by attacks. The location hit by an attack is determined by the roll of a d10: Roll Location 1 Head 2-4 Torso 5 Left Arm 6 Right Arm 7-8 Left Leg 9-10 Right Leg Limb loss If a character takes more than 10 damage in a single hit (after Toughness and armour) then the limb struck has been crippled or destroyed! This only counts to Arm and Leg hits. A lost limb will usually need to be replaced; either by a bionik or a donor limb. Head hits Head hits are especially dangerous. All damage after Toughness and armour is DOUBLED. For example: Grubsnakka it hit in the head for 17 damage. His Toughness is 3, and he is wearing a SP5 helmet, so he takes 9 damage, which is then doubled for a total of 18 damage to his head! Healing All Orkoids regenerate naturally, but sometimes a little surgery is needed to speed the process along. All characters, both Grots and Orks, regenerate 1 Hit per hour until fully healed. A surgery check may be made to increase the amount of hits healed; on a successful check the injured character regains 1d10 hits.

Amount of Hits lost Time required DC of surgery

¼ total 1 hour 10

½ total 2 hours 15

¾ total 4 hours 20 Experience points At the end of each session a Game Master may reward his players with Experience Points (XP). XP may be spent on improving both a character's Stats and Skills, for the costs shown below:

Improvement XP cost

New skill 2 XP

+1 Skill level 1 XP

+1 Stat point 5 XP Generally a Games Master should award 1 XP each session, plus 1-2 points for good roleplaying, ingenious plans and other displays of cunning.

Reputation Another way of rewarding characters is by giving them Reputation points (Rep). Reputation represents the fame and infamy that accompanies your character; tales of his exploits and deeds that other Orks mutter in taverns and slop houses. A character may gain 1 Rep point at the end of a particularly epic quest or exploit, and Rep points accumulate throughout an Ork's career. Rep points are added to any Intimidate or Impress rolls, on top of skill points and the base stat.
