Hey there, fellow Warhammer Age of Sigmar enthusiasts! If you’re into big, mean, green wrecking machines, then the Ironjawz are right up your alley. These guys are the epitome of orruk brutality and they love nothing more than smashing heads and causing chaos. Let’s dive into what makes these guys tick and why you should be hyped about fielding them on the battlefield.
Who Are the Ironjawz?
Ironjawz are the biggest, baddest orruks around, worshipping Gork, the brutal side of their twin-headed god Gorkamorka. Unlike the sneaky Kruleboyz who follow Mork, Ironjawz are all about raw strength and ferocity. They live for combat and grow bigger and stronger the more they fight. Imagine hulking green brutes in rough-and-ready armor, swinging massive weapons—they’re the ultimate melee powerhouse.
Warclans and Waaagh!
Ironjawz organize themselves into warclans led by the strongest and most charismatic orruk, known as a Megaboss. When they go on a Waaagh!, it’s not just a mindless rampage. It’s a spiritual and physical manifestation of their god’s power. The Waaagh! energy flows through them, driving them into an unstoppable battle frenzy, visible as a green haze around them.
Gear and Combat Style
These orruks aren’t just brawny—they’re resourceful too. They beat iron into crude but effective armor and weapons. Their gear might look ramshackle, but it hits like a truck. The Ironjawz love a good scrap and will throw themselves at the biggest, toughest foes they can find. If they get knocked down, they just get back up, lick their wounds, and jump right back into the fight.
Battle Units and Formations
Megabosses, Warchanters, and Weirdnob Shamans: At the heart of the Ironjawz are these leaders. Megabosses are the biggest bruisers, leading the charge. Warchanters whip the boyz into a frenzy with rhythmic war beats, and Weirdnob Shamans channel Waaagh! energy for supernatural buffs.
Ardboyz and Brutes: Ardboyz form the core of the Ironjawz forces, wielding shields and weapons like seasoned warriors. Brutes are even bigger and tougher, leading the charge with sheer muscle.
Gore-gruntas and Maw-krushas: These fearsome beasts add some serious muscle to the Ironjawz forces. Gore-gruntas are nasty boar-riding cavalry, while Maw-krushas are massive monsters ridden by Megabosses, turning the battlefield into a green-stained slaughterhouse.
Battle Traits and Special Abilities
The Ironjawz excel at untempered aggression. Their unique ability, “Mighty Destroyers,” lets them launch devastating charges and unleash extra melee attacks. Once per battle, a warboss can call on all the primal energy of the Ironjawz Waaagh!, transforming their army into an avalanche of muscle and iron, improving charge rolls and melee attacks.
Epic Figures and Leaders
Gordrakk, the Fist of Gork: This guy is the ultimate Megaboss, aiming to unite all orruk-kind under one Waaagh!. With every enemy he vanquishes, he gets stronger, earning Waaagh! Tokens and gaining extra attacks. His mount, Bigteef, is a Maw-krusha that swallows enemies whole.
Brutes: These veteran killers wield brutal weapons that can carve through infantry with ease. With a 3+ save and Damage 2 base on their weapons, these guys are tough as nails and can hit like a freight train.
Maw-Grunta: This monstrous beast with a crew of Ironjawz is an unstoppable force on the battlefield. It gains momentum points when it runs or charges, transferring that energy into devastating attacks.
New Updates and Future Content
The latest rules for Ironjawz and Kruleboyz are coming together in the Orruk Warclans Faction Pack. Even though they’re functionally two separate factions, you’ll get a full set of battle traits, enhancements, battle formations, and warscrolls for both. Plus, there’s always something new brewing on the horizon, so keep an eye out for more updates from Warhammer Community.
Final Thoughts
Ironjawz are all about smashing through the opposition with sheer brute force and overwhelming aggression. Whether you’re new to Age of Sigmar or a seasoned veteran, these orruks bring a raw, visceral excitement to the game. So, gear up, rally your boyz, and get ready to unleash the Waaagh!
Tomorrow, we’re shifting gears and diving into the mystical woods with the Sylvaneth. Stay tuned!
