Warboss Skumsnaga Skarlug, the Bane of Lima, the Red Threat

Warboss Skumsnaga Skarlug and his Nob Mob

Skumsnaga worked his way up from being one of the Evil Sunz Boyz in a Trukk, to owning his own bike, to joining the Nobz in a Battlewagon, to finally dethroning the previous Warboss (by ripping his head off) and making the horde his own. The Nobz Mob he is joining for most of the fights, riding a Battlewagon and led by his trusted second in command Nob Wortkop, are (for the most part) the same Boyz made Nobz he knew since his days in the Trukk.

He has always been fascinated by Ork Teknology, be it Trukks, Bikes, Dreads oder Mek Kannons, but he has an utter disregard for the inner workings of said technology – all that matters to him is that it DOES work. His patience for Big Mek Magshak's explanations on how something is supposed to be used is slim. If some gadget doesn't do what the Warboss wants it to, he's certain that this can only be the fault of the Meks.

A rare close-up of the Warboss

For unknown reasons Skumsnaga seems to be especially picky about which Orks to include in his warband – most other warbosses only care about numbers, but Skumsnaga mostly cares about clan and vehicles. As long as you're an Evil Sunz Ork and either own your own mode of transportation (be it wheeled, tracked or on mechanical legs) or part of a mob in a trukk or battlewagon, you're free to join. As of late, Skumsnaga has allowed certain (motorized) mobs of other clans to tag along, and the Imperial observers monitoring the warband expect the Warboss to fully integrate Orks from other clans anytime soon.

Skumsnaga takes his trusted attack squig Bork with him wherever he goes, although he has a tendency to forget about Bork in the heat of combat and sometimes leaves the squig behind. Most of the time this is because Bork is not able to keep up with the Warboss, more often than not because it was killed. In fact, the gretchins tending for the Warboss keep replacing Bork with new squigs every time the old one died – they fear the day their boss finds out that his favorite creature in the whole universe isn't with him anymore …
