Introduction
Orruk Warclans are the green, brutal hordes of Age of Sigmar – filled with violence, laughter, chaos, and a never-ending desire to fight. They are Age of Sigmar's equivalent of Orks in 40K, but with their own twist.
On the battlefield, they are an army driven by pure brutality, numbers, and wild battle cries. For players who enjoy an aggressive, fast, and melee-focused army, Orruk Warclans are the obvious choice.
Lore – who are the Orruk Warclans?
Orruks are born to fight. Their bodies are strong, their skin green, and their minds focused on one thing: finding the next battle.
They live in large Warclans made up of different types of Orruks:
-
Ironjawz – the largest, heaviest, and most armored Orruks.
-
Bonesplitterz – wilder, tribal Orruks who worship Gorkamorka through hunting and blood sacrifices.
-
Kruleboyz – cunning, swamp-dwelling Orruks who use poison, traps, and tactics to win.
Despite their differences, they all unite under their god Gorkamorka, who represents the ultimate combination of brutality and cunning.

Orruk Warclans are primarily a melee army. They charge forward, hit hard, and hope to survive the opponent's retaliation.

Painting & Hobby Tips
Orruks offer immense creative freedom when it comes to painting:
-
Green skin – use different shades for variation between clans.
-
Ironjawz – often yellow or red armor, with massive metal plates.
-
Bonesplitterz – bone-painted details and body paints.
-
Kruleboyz – darker color palettes, with wood, leather, and rusty iron.
Tip: Try battle damage on their armor – Orruks look best a bit worn.
