Nork Deddog
Nork Deddog is an Ogryn and slab o' sweaty meat par excellence in the Imperial Guard who has enhanced brain and muscles and the loyalty of a Commissar (read: if he just BLAM!s Nork's officer, Nork immediately reduces the Commissar to paste). He can: write his name, count, and even talk fluently. Considering most other Ogryns have an IQ rivalling that of a wet puddle, that's a real feat. He was taken out of combat to have his brain enhanced MOAR and trained with a special unit. He now works for Colonel Greiss of the 2nd Catachan as his bodyguard. Nork has saved Greiss's ass many times and has earned a LOT of shiny medals... A bling truly not undeserved, as this freak will literally throw himself on an enemy grenade (and on the poor soul who threw it) to save the life of Greiss -without even noticing his wounds afterward. Fluffwise, this guy is the absolute, perfect meatshield. What else, except that he can Instant Kill an Ork Big Boss WITH A SINGLE HEADBUTT!
On the Tabletop
Nork Deddog is the ultimate meatshield. He autopasses Look out Sir! attempts (a godsend against the new Assassins dataslate since Assassins no longer ignore LOS), has Hammer of Wrath, grants the Command Squad Stubborn, comes with the typical Ripper Gun, Carapace Armor, and Feel No Pain combined with T5. The only downside to all of this is that he's pretty pricey, he costs more than a barebones Command Squad. Take Nork if survival for your Commander is a top priority. His Rippergun and Hammer of Wrath hits are very nice, but his primary purpose is a meatshield. Which, fluffwise, he doesn't mind! If you're feeling ballsy/expensive take him with Straken. Yeowch.
