The Beast
The Beast is one of the mightiest (if not THE mightiest) ork warbosses ever to ravage the galaxy.
The legend
Back during the forging (that is, the 32nd millenium) the imperial fists were idly slaughtering and driving to extinction an alien race when they found something flabbergasting: a huge ass 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 Ghazzgull Thraka, and his nobs were colossal and mighty foes. How big of a threat was the Beast? The Iron Warriors teamed up with the Imperial Fists in order to fight them. The fucking most bitter enemies in the galaxy barring the ultramarine fans versus the rest of the fandom during 5th edition teamed up together against him. Whole crusades where dedicated to halt them, the mightiest fleets since the days of the heresy were assembled. Tens of chapters were lost, anhilated 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 anhilators of xenos were expressely 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.
- 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.
- 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 craneum into pulp.
- It goes far beyond that, the ork diplomat went to the Senatorum Imperialis itself, in The Golden Palace, he put in evidence what innefectual little pieces of trash most of the Lords of Terra are, what is more, and one of the most deliciously effective insults ever thrown at mankind, he acted in a civilized way, offering surrender terms, confronting a bunch of petty cowardly parasites who bickered among themselves like immature kids while trying to back-stab each other, the guy nailed it in such a way not even the worst desecration made by Chaos could have hurt the imperials pride.
- 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.
Truly this guy is the mightiest warboss ever and the WAAAGH! Beast reigns supreme as the biggest and meanest WAAAGH!, Ghazzgull Thraka be damned.
