Gorbag’s Revenge was the most active Ork battleship encountered throughout the Third Armageddon War, participating as it did in the invasions of both Chosin and Armageddon. The original vessel was captured by Gorbag himself, when he overran an Imperial Dominator class cruiser in the Gothic sector, enslaving its crew to refit the vessel, using its systems and weaponry as the basis for the soon-to-be (and brutally aptly named) Gorbag’s Revenge. Gorbag’s Revenge proved the ideal vessel for large scale planetary assaults with its large launch capacity allowing it to deliver huge numbers of Orky Fighta-Bommerz to the surface. For much of the Ork fleet this tactic would prove unwise and left them vulnerable to Imperial attack craft, but the sheer size and firepower of Gorbag’s Revenge prevented it suffering too badly from the threat. Gorbag’s Revenge remained a constant element of the fleet bombarding Armageddon throughout the course of the war.
Notes: Gorbag’s Revenge may be equipped with boarding torpedoes for +5pts (speed 20cm strength D6+2) and/or torpedo bommerzs for +30pts. Due to its poorly distributed mass, Gorbag’s Revenge may not use Come to New Heading special orders. When Leadership values are generated for the Ork fleet, Gorbag’s Revenge 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. |
