Within six years he had risen to control of his tribe as Warboss, and one year later he got his opportunity. But whatever happened, from then on he claimed to be in communication with the Ork gods, Gork and Mork. Somehow this device may have enabled Ghazghkull’s latent psychic powers, or he may just have been suffering from delusions. He was luckily (or not) found by a Painboy known as Mad Dok Grotsnik who replaced that part of his cranium with a bionic device. During the battle, a bolter shell ripped into Ghazghkull’s skull, causing massive brain damage and blasting off a good chunk of his cranium. At this time, Ghazghkull was a lowly boy in the Ork armies on the planet of Urk (possibly where part of his name came from).Ī Space Marine force, (chapter unknown) raided the planet in the hopes of disrupting the Ork forces there. The war may be seen to have begun on Armageddon, but it really began some nine years before. The main war lasted for two years, but the actual combat continued for the next twenty years, a colossal effort for just one planet. It would see the planet being swarmed with green-skinned Orks of five different tribes. It took place on the Hive World of Armageddon between the mighty Ork Warboss Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka and the forces of the Imperium and included regiments of the Imperial Guard and Space Marines of the Blood Angels, Salamanders and Ultramarines Chapters, along with a large Squat army.
The Second War for Armageddon is the second best known of the three wars of the system.
Today, we’re taking a look at the battle that brought us Grimdark household names like Commissar Yarrick and Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka! While the First War for Armageddon was covered up due to a daemon invasion and Inquisitorial logic, the Second War for Armageddon made legends out of history. It’s the battle that made Ghazghkull and Yarrick famous.
