Kaptin Badrukk is the most notorious Ork Freebooter in Warhammer 40,000, a mercenary commander who’ll fight for any Warboss with enough teef to pay him. He leads Badrukk’s Flash Gitz, a crew of heavily armed Orks who’ve fought alongside every major Warlord in recent memory.
Who is Badrukk?
Badrukk started out as a Bad Moons Ork, but his tribe kicked him out for hoarding too many teef. That exile turned out to be a blessing. Since going solo, he’s racked up a resume that puts most Freebooter Warbosses to shame.
He’s a Freebooter Kaptain, which means he works for whoever pays best. He’s also a surprisingly good strategist by Ork standards, and Warlords will hire him as an advisor if they can afford his fees. His crew, Badrukk’s Flash Gitz, have fought with every major Warlord in recent times.
- Originally from the Bad Moons clan, exiled for having too many teef
- Leads Badrukk’s Flash Gitz, an elite Freebooter crew
- Known as the King of the Freebooter and Hero of the War of Dakka
- Active from M41 to present
What has Badrukk done?
His biggest claim to fame is blunting a tendril of Hive Fleet Kraken by raiding the Norn Queen at its heart. That’s the kind of daring move that made his name. During the War of Dakka, his warriors out-shot a Tau Hunter Cadre, and some say he’s personally killed a void-whale.
More recently, he’s been using tellyporta strikes to drop his Flash Gitz exactly where they’re needed. He also reportedly stole half of the Ark of Omen Roskalon Entwined by boarding a Space Hulk and blowing it in two, keeping the section with most of the engines.
Badrukk’s Flash Gitz and wealth
Badrukk’s crew is rich. They’ve buried chests of teef on dead worlds and barren asteroids, and they always take the best loot before flying off in his Kill Krooza, Da Blacktoof. Badrukk’s cunning has let him double-cross or intimidate plenty of employers out of their share.
Despite that reputation, they’re still in high demand. They get hired for the most lucrative and difficult jobs because they’re fearsome fighters who get results. Every Flash Git is armed to the teeth, partly from wealth and partly from gifts given by grateful (or scared) Warlords.
