Warlord Gorgutz 'Ead 'Unter

"Oi humies, you're in Ork lands now. 'Ope you ain't too attached to yer 'eads."

"Warlord Gorgutz 'Ead 'Unter iz da biggest and baddest Ork on Kronus, which makes him da biggest and baddest feller on da whole planet. He'z turnin' those stupid feral gitz into real Orks an' leadin' 'em in a massive Waaagh! Dem humies, spikey boyz, puny Eldar, grey skinz, and Shiny Boyz are all gonna get stomped and smashed but good!"

Personality

Gorgutz is an aspiring, ambitious Ork Warboss. Ever since Winter Assault, Gorgutz has tried again and again to overrun planets with his Waaagh, but is always driven off by one of the more "civilized" factions in the "canon" ending. Yet he always manages to come back an Ork hero. Should he actually succeed in a noncanon ending, he starts to set up his new Ork Empire. Another thing that never changes is his hobby of collecting the heads of his enemies.

Like all other orks, Gorgutz is very arrogant towards... well... anyone. He NEVER admits defeat, and he seems to think that he is infinitely smarter than his men. (Indeed, this occasionally proves to be true.) The irony, however, is that he also hates it when his men flatter him. At the same time, if the enemy commander attempts to reason or taunt him, Gorgutz shows that he is also quite witty, managing to create a comeback to the far more "intelligent" commander.

However, behind his outrageous gloating and pompous claims, Gorgutz is actually a bit of a coward. Whenever his enemies - be it the 1st Kronus Liberators, the Alpha Legion, or a Tau Strike Force - close in on him, he chooses to run away instead of fighting to the end.

Tactics

Never get the Big Horns Wargear. This extra melee weapon has an area of effect and friendly fire, so when attacking enemy troops in a crowd of Boyz and Nobz this weapon will do as much damage to the your own troops as the enemy's. The Red Iron Gob has no such problems though since it doesn't have an AOE, so feel free to pick up that wargear. The Skullz correctly filters out friendly troops to avoid harming your army.

The Mega Blasta Wargear should probably be avoided for the same reason as the Big Horns. Just like the regular Big Mek's Mega Blasta, it does friendly fire in an area of effect so it will also shred your own troops.

Be careful not to let Gorgutz die before you can get an Orky Fort completed. Unlike the other campaign heroes, Gorgutz is based on the Tier 3 Ork hero. Losing him early could lead to his forced absence through much of the remaining fight until you can tech high enough to replace him.

To increase both survivability and combat effectiveness attach Gorgutz to a Nobz Squad. In most campaigns missions (outside strongholds) this assures a succesful conquest or defense.
