The Blood Snortas

:

The Blood Snortas were born for trouble. Ridin' their ill-tempered boars through mud, dust, and worse, they’d roared their way out of more messes than most orcs ever see. Their mission was simple: bash, loot, and let the rest sort itself out. With their leader, Krug Redhelm, ridin' at the front, no one was dumb enough to question the Blood Snortas' way of doin' things.

Krug was easy to spot, his boar decked out in a mean-lookin’ metal helm shaped like a red-horned skull. Krug and his boar had smashed plenty of enemies together, and that helm wore the dents like trophies. Close behind him rode Wurrzag Weirdtongue, the unit's shaman, mumbling strange spells to himself and twitchin' like he’d seen a vision. Wurrzag liked to get the Blood Snortas riled up before a charge, castin' a Frenzy spell that turned the boyz into a rampagin' wall of tusks and axes.

The Red Skull Standard:
When the Blood Snortas ride, they carry a brutal symbol in Krug’s image—a blood-red skull with horns, mounted on a pole. It’s a grim reminder of what’s comin’ for anyone stupid enough to stay put.

“See that?” Krug would say with a wicked grin. “It means you got seconds to scarper or end up lookin' like it."

Notable Deeds:
The Blood Snortas made a name for themselves choppin’ their way through anythin' in their path. They crushed a goblin camp once, left nothin' but dust and gobbo bits. Another time, they ran into a Chaos warband. With Wurrzag’s Frenzy takin’ hold, the Blood Snortas tore through, leavin’ a pile of broken skulls and Chaos symbols behind. Only Krug and Wurrzag were still in one piece by the end, but that’s all the Blood Snortas needed to keep ridin’ on.

Battlecry:
The Blood Snortas don’t mess around with fancy chants. Their favorite battlecry is just “Snort ‘n Stomp!” yelled over and over until it shakes the ground.

Uniforms and Gear:
Uniform? Ha! The Blood Snortas wear whatever's tough enough to survive the next charge. Leather, fur, and bits of looted armor, that’s the Blood Snorta look. The only thing they care about is that red skull standard—the rest is all choppas and attitude.

Notes:
These orcs come heavy, mounted on boars, and swingin’ choppas with a fury only Wurrzag’s Frenzy spell can bring. They charge with no mercy, and where they go, the land ends up soaked in blood.

The Blood Snortas are known across the Old World as an unstoppable, thundering force. If you see that red skull, best make peace with your gods.
