DA BIG BRAINZ

Description

The Iron Horde is full of big, tough boyz who know how to fight, shout really loud, and smash anything they can get their grubby hands on. But among the greenskins, there's a special breed of genius gitz who prefer to build something first and then see how many enemies it can blow to bits. These clever ladz are called Mekkaniks, and the brainiest, maddest, and most dangerous of them sometimes gather into mobs known as DA BIG BRAINZ. Nobody really knows who brings 'em together, though. Usually, three Mekkaniks just happen to find themselves standing next to the same enormous pile of scrap, start arguing, and a couple of hours later they've got a brand new gun, a heap of corpses, and a perfectly good excuse for a fight.

Each of these three reckons he's the smartest Ork in the entire galaxy. The first loves enormous guns, demonic reactors, and gravity generators. His inventions can suck an enemy tank into a black hole, along with the nearest shed or half his own army. The second prefers good old-fashioned machinery. He carries an entire workshop on his back, waves around massive mechanical claws, and can build a fightin' robot out of a broken engine, a couple of severed legs, and somebody else's toilet. The third specializes in fancy electronics, explosives, and strange contraptions whose purpose even he doesn't always understand. His favorite hobby is bolting a few extra wires, flashing lights, and a great big red button onto a machine that's already working. Usually, this makes the machine run a lot louder, but for a considerably shorter time.

Naturally, such brilliant minds need assistants. Little green runts carry tools, tighten bolts, test suspicious wires with their teeth, and become the first volunteers for every new invention, whether they like it or not. Some have grown so used to explosions and electric shocks that they can't even fall asleep without the smell of burning wires. The Mekkaniks genuinely appreciate their little helpers, since a good runt can serve as a mechanic, test subject, ammunition, and excellent electrical conductor all at once. And if one accidentally gets vaporized during testing, there's always another one to catch.

On the battlefield, DA BIG BRAINZ turn every fight into a proper competition of engineering genius. Each tries to prove that his gun is louder, his machine is deadlier, and his explosions leave the biggest craters. Sometimes they even forget about the enemy and start shooting at each other, purely in the name of scientific research. But when these three lunatics finally agree on something and point all their inventions in the same direction, you'd better be on the other side of the planet. Though even that might not be far enough.
