Let it sink: the [[Deathwatch]], the prime alien hunters and the most proficient annihilators of xenos were expressly created as a (one of many) last ditch effort to stop him. Fucking wow.

The Beast is one of the mightiest (if not THE mightiest) ork warbosses ever to ravage the galaxy, fought during The War of The Beast.

The Legend

Back during the forging (that is, the 32nd millennium) the Imperial Fists were idly slaughtering and driving to extinction an alien race when they found something flabbergasting. A hugeass WAAAGH!!! But it weren't numbers alone the main threat that this ork force represented, but its organization and composition. The Beast was ginormous, far bigger than good old Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka, and his nobs were colossal and mighty foes. How large was the Beast you ask? He is said to have been as large as a HAB-BLOCK and with a mouth filled with tusks the size of TREE TRUNKS and this could be due to the fact that he's the same breed as the ork warboss of Ullanor who it took The Emperor HIMSELF TO KILL. Hell he was so huge that when he first appears the space marines sent to kill him mistake him for a stompa before they realize there's an ork in that plated armor. But simply being extremely big and incredibly strong was the least of what made him such a threat because beneath all that armor and muscle was a brain with the intelligence, the drive and the simple strength of will and character to forge that race of fungoid space soccer holligans into an actual goddamn army. Let that sink in for a moment...


How big of a threat was The Beast? The Iron Warriors teamed up with the Imperial Fists Black Templars, of all people, and then later the Fists Exemplar, both of them Imperial Fists successors, in order to fight him and his boyz. The fucking most bitter enemies in the galaxy who hated each other's guts, barring the Ultramarine fans versus the rest of the fandom during 5th edition at any time, teamed up together against him. Whole crusades were dedicated to halt them, the mightiest fleets since the days of the heresy were assembled. Tens of chapters were lost, annihilated by the green tide. The Imperial Fists UNITED as a whole legion in order to have a fighting chance and during the most heated point the Deathwatch was created.

Let it sink: the Deathwatch, the prime alien hunters and the most proficient annihilators of xenos were expressly created as a (one of many) last ditch effort to stop him. Fucking wow.

Assorted accomplishments from this dude include:

  • Making attack moons. Not Roks, like Thraka's. MOONS as a whole and in plural, that's a whole new level of loot.
  • Making logistics and army structure on a sophisticated level.
    • The thing goes beyond logistics and army structure. Guess what symbols do they use? For tactically gifted gits they made them wear bloody axes, snakes for the... "herders", and horns for their best shock troops. That is, Blood Axes, Snakebites, and Goffs. The space marines don't recognize this symbols despite there being iron warriors whom fought during the crusade. Let it sink for a second: he laid the foundations for the Ork Klans. His legacy is still lasting til now as the great grand-daddy of all the orks in the current setting.
  • Asswhooping dozens of chapters in unison.
  • He fucking reached and BESIEGED Terra itself.
  • And unlike Horus he could have won if he hadn't backed up as he just had to crash his Attack Moon, GGWP Imperium.
  • He had ork DIPLOMATS. Just think about greenskins that are capable of more complex thoughts than "run/hide and then run and bash that asshat's cranium into pulp".
  • His very presence was so overwhelming that he actually caused the entire Ork race to begin evolving on a cultural and biological level. Becoming more advanced and more potent psychers. Seriously the Orks advanced so much under him that they had technology that could rival the Eldar. And they had began building an actual civilisation on the worlds they controlled. Not just simple settlements, but an empire with advanced cities and even worlds given over to food production and industry.
  • He was able to sicken the frigging Iron Warriors: when they went to Prax they found that the Orks had organized thousands of farms with BILLIONS of humans in there so pumped of shit they were devolved into the cattle they were being bred for. When you've got a bunch like the Iron Warriors saying "It will be a mercykill". You know you've become a sick fuck of the highest order if other sick fucks are disgusted with you. And I remind you, this is the same legion that created the Daemonculaba.
  • He had colonized Ullanor. The whole world was now sporting ork cities (and very well organized to boot) that would become killing zones for the invading forces. Secretly the world had infact been converted into a massive attack planet that was going to be used to defeat the imperium (think that attack planet in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, basically the same thing).
  • He murderfucked the Ultramarines Chapter Master, the Crimson Fist's Chapter Master, crippled a blood angels captain and gave VULKAN of all people a tough fight. Normally any of the aforementioned before would have sufficed to kill him yet it was a hell of a battle for the four previously mentioned.
  • Eradicated the Imperial Fists, yes, this guy managed to do what no armless failure has ever accomplished in 10 millennia, killing a First Founding Chapter off for real.
  • And the Sisters of Silence. May they rest in peace.
  • And Vulkan too (temporally, as he is perpetual and all that stuff, so expect him to show up again sooner or later).
  • Holy Emperor this guy is the ultimate Hero Killer, look at his death tally, Daemon Primarchs got nothing on The Beast, he would have laughed off at their attacks before using any of them as shine cloth.

Truly this guy is the mightiest warboss ever and the WAAAGH! Beast reigns supreme as the biggest and meanest WAAAGH!, Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka be damned. The WAAAGH! energy that suffuses him makes him akin to a living Ork demi-god. Able to regenerate from wounds Vulkan inflicts on him and channel his WAAAGH! energy to power the Orks technology and fry space marines with ease. Insanely intelligent; possibly even a genius on a human scale. Him existing has triggered a reaction in the Ork genome leading the entire race to transform into coherency and become efficient and organised. Not simply improving tactically but biologically, technologically, psychically, and even culturally becoming more advanced. He's essentially their version of the Emperor. This Ork is the eventuality of uncontested success for a singular Ork. So vastly different have the Ork become in nature that it is possible that they are evolving into the Krork.

Oh, and there were six of him, all so-called "Prime-Orks" (5 remain, since the Imperium managed to kill one), each an Orky version of the Primarchs, leading a Legion of Orks, which are heavily implied to be the Ork Clans. They worked seamlessly in unison, like the utterly fictitious primarchs of an utterly fictitious legion, achieving the same effect of everyone assuming there was only one of him. The extent to which he was a team, as opposed to one ork with multiple bodies, remains unknown. From what was revealed prior to their destruction the concept of the Prime-Orks (some may say Primorks, hur hur) is similar to the Emperor and his Primarchs. With one standing dominant as the beast-of-beasts with the lesser beasts being the leaders of his forces. Though all are basically Ork demi-gods in their own right and some of the most powerful beings in the setting. While unfortunately the series really didn't flesh out the majority of them as it focused almost solely on the dominant Primork: only 2 of them are seen in the series, the rest are killed off-screen, and of those 2 one's purpose was just to randomly appear at the end of book ten to be killed. Though it gives some foreshadowing of how powerful individual Orks can truly become and that their kind may appear again in the M41.
