The background squealing and pleading of the flyin-thinkin-grots while Kronan was up to his cunnin' plannin' put a big stupid grin on my face. The whole episode's atmosphere and tone were on another level. Great stuff, Baldermort, really. Appreciate the pointers about deciding on army collection, I'm facing down that choice right now as I pick out what army or armies to start my collection with.

No joke about deep water lobsters. There is one in the Peabody Museum, in Massachusetts that is big as a man. In my hometown we had a ledendary snapping turtle named "Eeom" . Over 100 years old. I once saw him emerge from the depths of the Exeter river. A jaw so big, that could bite your hand clean off.

A few years ago I was helping my parents clean out the garage and guess what we found? Old toys from my toddler days, and guess what was in them? Those cheap plastic dinosaurs we all had that you could buy from any pharmacy or road side stop. Multiple triceratops. After a trip to the local GW for a battlewagon and a weekend lost to my mekboy craze, I had 3 custom built Squiggoths ready to stomp some 'umies! Old toys make for fantastic Ork conversions.

As Kronan sat on the edge of the escapement, he threw yet another thinking grot over the edge - yet this time the thought that penetrated his brain was different - the grot he noticed, as it plummeted to its death, was pink and hairless - the thought began to overwhelm everything ... all the cunning plans began to evaporate - he was left only with one thought "Above all, have FUN!" Ennnnd QUOTE. Another brilliant yarn Brother Baldermort, It's a cruel world.

As an Inquisitor who’s has years of experience with the Greenskins it’s not truly surprising that they created this monster of war. One must remember that the Greenskins were the major reason why the Galaxy is always aflame with war, and with it they created weapons that destroy entire planets. These beasts are no different from a gun or tank for a Ork, but they truly hold a place in a Waaargh and perhaps a sign of both Ork Gods.

'Valerian reached out with his mind, gliding past the ork sentries, flitting down into the back tunnels behind them. It touched on others - some barely sentient, others a teeming gabble of primitive intellects, the lowest orders of the ork genus. They were present here in their hundreds - thousands, even. And finally it came up against a sudden wall of inchoate brute rage and physicality which staggered him.' - Librarian Valerian of the Ultramarines Chapter during the Siege of Zalathras. 'A squiggoth. They were seldom seen by those who lived to speak of it afterwards. Creatures of mindless ferocity, the largest of them had been known to contend with Titans. The orks had indeed saved the best for last. The huge aircraft was shuddering in the sky. Barely a mile away now, its shadow fell over the ork masses below, and they set up a great hoarse roaring, raising their weapons over their heads in exultation at the sight. The squiggoth suspended below the craft was tossing its head and adding a long, gargling roar to the din. Calgar could see the armour plating that had been implanted in its very hide, the gun platform on its back, the great gleaming spurs attached to its feet. It must have weighed eighty or a hundred tons, and its swaying bulk was dragging the battered lifter from side to side in the sky. A lucky missile strike from a platform on the wall got through the darkening void shield, and struck the tailplane of the ork craft. It yawed in the air, the void shields flickered and died, and at once a thousand tracers speared into its scarlet hull. A ripple of bright explosions went down one side, and the aircraft dipped sharply, the nose aimed at the earth below... Boros struck one fist into another at the sight. ‘Yes!’ It was going down. The squiggoth struggled in its harness, bellowing, and fell half-free. Seconds later a final missile streaked into the belly of the aircraft and exploded. The harness was blown asunder. The aircraft fell like a stone, the beast it carried tumbling free of it onto the battlefield below. ‘Take cover!’ Calgar shouted, augmenting his voice so it carried like a klaxon along the walls. The ork craft crashed to earth some four hundred yards short of the walls, striking the wet earth with an enormous staggering concussion that could be felt even through the plascrete foundations of the Vanaheim Gate. It buried itself in the muck, its nose crumpling, the rest of it smashed apart. Seconds later, there was a massive explosion as the engines went up, and a huge, towering fountain of earth and metal was blasted almost a hundred yards into the air. Shards of metal were sent bouncing off the city walls. Others were hurled clear over them to flatten entire habs in the districts beyond. Burning fuel sprayed out in a flaming lake. The ork formations there were torn asunder, body parts blown halfway across the battlefield, scores buried in the muck that rained down in the wake of the crash. There was a stunned moment almost of silence on that part of the field, and then the orks came on again, bellowing with rage. And something hauled itself out of the mire along with them. Something monstrous that towered over them and raised its red maw to howl defiance at the Vanaheim Gate. The squiggoth rose up out of the muck like some primeval monster of nightmare, streaming water, tossing the orks about it aside like toys and trampling them underfoot. It pulled itself free of the crater its fall had created, and looked around, as though striving to find a focus for its rage. ‘Brothers,’ Calgar said over the Ultramarines’ vox, ‘meet me in the shadow of the Gate. We have work to do... Then there was a tremendous crash as the squiggoth hurled itself at the Vanaheim Gate. Fifty feet high, the great beast of the orks absorbed bolter rounds as though they were flea bites. It charged the gate again and again, lowering its armoured head and squealing in bestial rage as it attacked. It was under the lip of the barbican itself, and thus it was difficult to direct fire upon it. Men dropped grenades upon its steaming back from the summit of the Vanaheim, but the orks swept the battlements with a withering fire and drove the defenders there below, into the casemates. The animal was streaming blood from a hundred wounds, but its vitality was undimmed. The broken platform atop its back was smashed and broken, full of the mangled corpses of orks and gretchin, but the armour that had been affixed to its immense bulk remained largely in place, and its ten-foot skull was protected by a great helm-like carapace adorned with horns. It smashed this into the buckled adamantium plates of the gate and tore them loose, buckled the steel underneath as though it were tin, and finally got its horned snout under one gate to tear it free of its hinges. Then it climbed over the wreckage and began to work on the piled barricade behind, while the orks crowded around its feet, oblivious to those it trampled and killed in its berserk rage. Calgar saw the enormous snout root through the girders and rubble and worry them aside. He opened up with the storm bolters on the underside of his power fists, the ancient weapons springing to bright, blazing life, following the targeting reticle in his helm display. As the opening under the Vanaheim grew, so orks began to wriggle past the head of the beast, into the barbican itself, firing bolters and flamers as they came. ‘Brother Antigonus, target the orks with your squad. Mathias, Proxis, mop up any who make it into the street. Brother Orhan, go to the vehicle and make sure it is ready to engage. Brother Valerian, I may need you soon. Stand ready.’ The Ultramarines went to work with the calm implacability of their kind. The infiltrating orks were shot to pieces, one blown up in a cloud of flaming promethium as the tank on his flamer was hit. The fire burned under the gateway, making the smoke-shrouded morning seem as dark as dusk. The squiggoth seemed spurred to greater heights of effort by the flames. Its bellowing was magnified by the towering arch of the gate, a noise that could be felt in the flesh as much as heard. It powered bodily into the rubble, knocking aside the great bracing girders as though they were branches of green wood. Its forefeet appeared, scrabbling at the barrier and pulling it down. Lumps of rockcrete as big as Land Speeders tumbled the barrier and pulling it down. Lumps of rockcrete as big as Land Speeders tumbled down, rolling into the square before the gate. The beast shouldered into the gateway, looming up to dwarf the Ultramarines who stood before it. Calgar aimed his fire at its head. The storm bolter rounds clinked and spat and bit into the animal, blasting free divots of smoking flesh. One eye was blasted out of its socket. But this seemed only to madden the squiggoth further. With a tremendous thrust it smashed clear through the remnants of the barricade, sending boulders and lumps of masonry flying fifty yards through the air. The barricade disintegrated, became a scattering of mounded rubble. And behind the huge beast the orks set up a triumphant roar. For the first time, the way into the city was open to them. ‘Brother Orhan,’ Calgar said, ‘It is time. On me, my brothers. Clear the way.’ The orks were streaming by the hundred around the feet of the huge squiggoth, clambering over the shattered gates and the debris that lay behind them. The beast seemed dazed by its achievement and the punishment it had taken. It stood with its blood making steaming puddles around its feet, gargling in its pain, shaking its mutilated head. Calgar and the Ultramarines split into two lines that went down each side of the street. Still firing with deadly effect into the mob of orks that was pouting around the squiggoth, they went to ground in the ruins. The tarp was pulled off the large angular shape in the roadway behind them by Lascelle and his men, who then quickly sprinted back down the street several hundred yards before taking up their own firing positions. A Colossus siege tank stood there, squat and box-shaped, the black maw of its gun pointed directly into the gateway. It had been heavily restored and modified over the past few weeks. The bombard on its platform had been rebuilt for direct fire. Brother Orhan stood on the open deck of the vehicle. His voice came over the vox. ‘All clear. Firing in three, two, one-’ There was no sound. Just an enormous absence. The Ultramarines were rendered deaf by their auto-senses to protect them, so they did not hear the gargantuan boom that rolled out of the weapon. But they felt the blast-wave. It staggered them, knocking several of them to their knees and blowing others into the sides of nearby buildings. A great pall of smoke and dust mushroomed up, enveloping the entire Vanaheim gate and hundreds of yards of the walls. The concentric blast-waves travelled out in rippling circles. Even on the battlements high above, the militia were deafened and blinded and thrown around in a dark storm of debris. As the initial detonation subsided, so the auto-senses of the Ultramarines came back online. Calgar engaged infrared to peer through the murk, and the outlines of the Vanaheim Gate appeared through it. He stood up. Runes were winking amber on his helm display and he was shrouded in dust, a tawny giant that strode forward alone into the gateway. The squiggoth had been blown to pieces, and there was a line of death and gore reaching out of the gateway for fully five hundred yards...' - An Extract from the 'Clagar's Siege.'

Still think that at one time an Ork like this one to turn into a Krork, granted first to become like the Beast. Again, brilliant video on a unit in the 40k universe. Always entertaining to listen on the lore on each as well as your stories on each.

Brother Baldermort - Another great piece with some support and even wise counsel towards the end, that is particularly appreciated. Never been all that interested in Orks, but the opening description especially the "continued from" had me go back and watch the history and shokk attack gun videos. Awesome stuff!

I enjoyed every second, every word, every little joke from that tale, but I can't help to think that this is exactly how the Eldars see the Humans "Look... they managed to build a "battleship", it's like a regular ship but...BIGGER... such genius, much wow"
