Dethdeala is thought to be one of the oldest vessels of its size in existence, having first been encountered some 30 years before the Third Armageddon War. Originally the flagship of Warlord Urgutz Dregrak, the Dethdeala appears to have suffered a recent change of kaptain and krew alike and faded from prominence in the later part of the war. Dregrak was a fiery and objectionable Ork, one known for great overcon.dence in his own abilities and overoptimistic view of his own destiny. Dregrak was present in one of the last large waves of Orks to reach Armageddon, and chose to haphazardly bombard the planet ahead of his own landing, claiming to be clearing the way for an assault, but in all likelihood doing far more harm to his Ork rivals than his Imperial enemies. That Dregrak chose to most heavily bombard regions where Ghazghkull’s own warbands were operating is unlikely to be simple coincidence. When Dregrak did finally venture to the planet’s surface, his campaign was shortlived as rival Dethskulls, allied to the defecting Imperial Governor Herman Von Strab, teleported aboard the Dethdeala and massacred most of its crew in the midst of their planetary assault. Stranded on the surface with most of his forces dead or marooned aboard the Dethdeala, Dregrak vanished very rapidly. Whether the fatal blow was struck by man or Ork is unlikely to ever be known for certain, but either way it is unlikely that Ghazghkull would have had many regrets over the loss of the troublesome and untrustworthy Urgutz Dregrak…
Notes: Dethdeala may be equipped with torpedo bommerzs for +30pts. Due to its poorly distributed mass Dethdeala may not use Come to New Heading special orders. When Leadership values are generated for the Ork fleet, Dethdeala can opt to swap Leadership ratings with a Kill Kroozer or Terror ship to represent the warlord dragooning the best crew in the fleet aboard his vessel. All Ahead Full: Dethdeala is equipped with powerful ‘Soopa Enginez’ and may roll 4D6 when making an All Ahead Full special order, as opposed to the 2D6 normally rolled by Ork vessels. |
