The INSANE Story of How 2 Ork Boys Killed A Titan. | Warhammer 40k Lore

the galaxy of the 41st Millennium is a crazy place where impossible things happen every single day it's a wildly over-the-top Universe filled with some pretty insane stories and characters many of which tragically don't get nearly enough attention well today we're going to do our part to fix that as we're going to talk about that time that two Orcs And A Squig managed to kill a Titan they took down one of the god engines with nothing more than a fast car a snaz hammer and some truly brutal cunning he said it he said it and hey look at that that's actually the name of the book this story comes from this is definitely one of my favorite 40K books and I've read through it like three times so in the interest of avoiding spoilers for people who haven't read it yet we're just going to be talking about one scene that happens in the middle of the book that doesn't give away any of the major plot reveals it's one of the most wild things I've read in a 40K novel in a really long time so more people need to know about it but before we get into all of that here's a quick shout out to this video sponsor which is actually a brand new Warhammer game on PC from the makers of Horus heresy

around their lore an extra big thank you to Warhammer 40 000 warp Forge for sponsoring this video and with that out of the way let's get into the grimdark so in the book the Orcs of the mechlords tequa are invading the forged world of avisto the is made up of Orcs from all different Clans but most numerous are that of the Orcs of the bad moons Clan and although not technically part of this particular itself the world is also being invaded by a sizable force of orc free Buddhas led by captain badrock now you could be forgiven for thinking that this was a combined force a different orc group setting aside their differences to team up against their enemies but that couldn't be further from the truth they both just kind of showed up around the same time and both want to dilute the Forge World for themselves so all of the Orcs have a tentative Alliance and not to shoot each other in the back but each one of them is trying to quote unquote get to the good stuff first it's a friendly competition between Orcs And a brutal Armageddon for the humans on the world below now skipping ahead a little bit the battle in the planet surface has escalated quite a bit the mechanicum is deployed four of the their Titans against the Orcs only for the Orcs to respond by unleashing the mecca gargan a colossal Monument to the Ingenuity of orc engineering this is the pride and joy of the techwog's leader de meklord and demek Lord enjoys using the Orcs teleporter technology to make this monstrosity appear out of thin air right on top of the enemy that always made for a pretty good laugh when the mecca gargant teleported in it immediately destroyed one of the enemy Titans much to the amusement of all of the Orcs on the battlefield it didn't take long for the humans to adapt and the three remaining Titans split off into different directions and began to fire on it from all sides their Firepower wasn't enough to break the mecca gargan Shields but even still it wasn't going to last forever under such sustained Firepower from three different enemy Titans not to mention the two warhound Titans were smaller and thus were able to dodge and weave some of the incoming fire which was absolutely ridiculous to the Orcs what's the point of being an a garden if you're gonna Dodge now this is where the orc known as ufat comes in he's sitting there looking out at the Titanic battle taking place in front of him massive guns that shake the Earth with every single shell are being fired back and forth lobbed through the air at the massive gods of War all of the shots from the mecca gargan are exploding against the shimmering void Shields of the Titans and they're not really doing much damage uffak looks around first at the Titans void Shields then over at the orc fuel silos where a fight had broken out amongst a bunch of speed freaks who were trying to be the first to refill their tanks so they could go charging back into the fight vidis gay shift out past them to a bunch of humi Highways and overpasses that had been smashed up by the fighting of the Titans ulfac looked down at his snaz hammer and then finally over at his mate mulgrat redtooth said to be utterly deadly in combat and about as intelligent as a lobotomized grot all of the gears started turning in its orky brain and he got a right cunning idea he tells the other orc boys to go out into the fighting that him and magrot had a special plan that was cooking up to help the mechlord and his garden after the lads had taken off Margaret turned to uffak and asked so what does we do it anyways boys oh just stick close to me more crot this is either gonna be brilliant or sweetie's gonna die all spectacular Nike what's that means with a right big explosion in that sounds good to me boss the way they figured it if it was an Orcs time to meet gork and Mork they might as well do it in the biggest flashiest loudest way possible and the more explosions the better so here's what the boys did they ended up stealing a shock jump drag stuff from one of the speed freaks by clobbering the git with ufax snaz hammer after their ride had been secured he grabbed the weedy little Gretchen that had been working on the bike and asked him if he knew how the thing worked the Gretchen nodded in response and said that he normally shoots the gun that was good enough for uffak so the two Orcs the grot and uftax pet Squig all jumped into the Dragster and took off dude was right boss this was a great plan you idiot there's more to the plan than that now not being members of The Cult of speed themselves magrat and uffak had made fun of the speed freaks plenty of times in the past but here on the open road in the dragsta buffak had to admit that there was something kind of badass about tearing over the ground in a vehicle like this he thought about it for a minute but he figured at the end of the day he'd still want to get out and crack some heads the proper way but he got the appeal ufax stared down at the Gretchen and said the short jump how's it work oh that's the Shocker Roy or would you go in fast enough you hit the Shocker went into shock jump happens or sometimes it don't happen it happened oh that would be a bit more of a technical matter boss oh how fast is fast enough oh pretty shocking face boss refuse asking for an exact figure out never mind all that more grunt take that tone coming up on the right you wonder which takes us towards the Goggins boss that's the one punch it the Orcs careened wildly across the battlefield towards the battling God engines magrat said it was a very uneasy voice which demonstrated a remarkable amount of foresight into the implications of future events oof that clearly had not given him enough credit I think he's running out of Road just keep it flawed we don't need it the Orcs the Gretchen and the Squig careened Over The Gorge their dragster launching into the air and at that exact moment oofthak slammed his hand down on the big red button and a massive spinning purple portal materialized in front of them the boys flew through the vortex being bombarded with an accelerating Riot of colors everything was very loud and had lots of teeth and then almost as suddenly as reality had warped the real world exploded all around them once again and the enemy Titan was much much closer the shock jump drags to collided with the Titan's shoulder launching the boys and the Squig out of the cockpit and sending them tumbling across its metal frame the impact was strong enough that it actually caused the warlord Titan to Lurch and try to correct itself ufek started falling over the side and had to very quickly slam his snaz hammer into the metal plating to keep himself from falling to his death at that exact moment the grot from before started tumbling past him over the edge and on its way down uffak tried to kick him not for any real reason other than it would have been funny but the Gretchen managed to latch onto his legs bush Oh I thought I was a corner him and the grot climbed back up onto the shoulder and there waiting for him was magra and his squigg so what's the plan now boss now right before oof that could respond there was a blinding flash of red light the pair of them turned and looked across the battlefield and saw that the mechlord's mechagargan had turned its gaze of Mork on them they should have been instantly incinerated but they weren't why ain't we dead boss oof that pointed up at the shimmering void Shields above them oh the shields hell that was a pretty good plan after all boss told you as it would be it took a little bit of maneuvering and shimmying along the side of the Titan but eventually the crew ended up on top of its head leaning forward to look down into its face well thack was pretty sure that the humans crewing it would be inside the head and going through the eyes was their best way of getting inside bloody useless board if you ask me on the count of three the crew dropped down in front of the Titan's eye and smashed through it the humans inside started wailing an alarm in that annoying high-pitched human noise they make when they're scared the humans panicked reaching for their weapons but they were way too close to uffak who batted one aside with his snaz hammer pulping him into Red Mist whilst grabbing the other one around the head with his enormous fist there was a crack and something gave way and suddenly his hand was all sticky and wet uffak dropped the limp corpse on the ground and shook the blood off his hands zogging humies they were always leaking at the slightest provocation in that moment a tech priest rounded on the massive orc and its appearance admittedly caught him off guard it was a flailing mechanical thing covered in metal arms magrot and this Slugger into the tech priest's chest and ended up saving ufax life and just like that the threat had been eliminated there was a lot less resistance than they had anticipated the Pair Of Orcs started looking around and the inside of the cockpit was covered in all kinds of knobs levers and shiny buttons the Orcs were trying to figure out what to do next the plan had worked perfectly and honestly way better than it had any right to have buff scratches his chin and thinks to himself if him and magrot can figure out how to Pilot this thing maybe he can keep it have his own garden if only a couple of humies could figure out how to do it then he certainly could too it's in this moment that they notice a swirling tube of liquid at the back of the chamber they hadn't noticed it before because it didn't really pose any kind of threat but now that the Orcs looked at it more closely they could see there was a naked almost crippled looking human floating in the tank it certainly looked like a human but it was kind of gross it was all gray and withered humies normally came in shades of brown and pink I'm not a good strong green like the boys but certainly not gray either and this thing was skinnier and more skeletal than most of the humans they had ever seen the creature also didn't have eyes or at least it had a series of thick cables coming out of where its eyes should have been it had all manner of other cables and wires trailing out of its back and up to the top of its tube Roy now that's the weirdest thing I've seen today ufak aimed a shotgun at the princess of the Titan and fired it blasted apart its tank an amniotic fluid gushed out and Spilled across the floor the human limped forward held up only by its cables it was in this moment that the grot from before who had waited behind on top of the Titan had jumped down and come through the open window running away from the Squig that was trying to eat it right at the last second it dodged and the Squig that was lunging for it slammed into the Titans princess who latched onto its face and started to rip it apart there was a massive shutter that went through the entire Titan as as it lurched back and forth It's still connected to its princeps that was being mauled by a Squig the Titan discharged all of its guns at once in random directions and then suddenly fell very still the Orcs then heard a little bit of shuffling coming from underneath them and realized that there was still more humies aboard ufak lifted a latch in the floor dropped in a stick bomb and then slammed the Hat shut there was a big explosion and then an alarm started going off at first the Orcs thought the alarm was to signal that all of the humans were dead but then they thought about it for a second why would a human alarm go off if they're all dead and there ain't no one to hear it uffak pulled the hatchback open and looked down into the chamber there was a pretty large amount of damage there were sparks flying everywhere and small fires had begun to break out there was also an exploded Umi pilot whose remains were dripping off of the wall and ceiling this was a lot of damage that looked suspiciously like that of a stick bomb going off in a tight enclosed space ufek walked back to the entrance that they had made in The Titan's head and looked down it was a pretty far away to go so they checked to the back to see if there was another way out while they were looking around oof that took a moment to look at the top of the tank that the gray broken Hume had been in before and he sees some human glyphs carved into a bronze plate at the top of the tank now most Yumi spoke the same language and he had picked up enough of it in order to interrogate prisoners or order human slaves around but their writing was tricky the glyphs represented sounds instead of Concepts which he thought was incredibly stupid and inefficient just like most of the things that humies did but he knew enough of their written language to make a good guess of it he tried to sound it out and to his credit he got pretty close the thing in the tank had been a princess or perhaps was Princess he nudged the Squig with his boots still eating away at the dead thing on the floored you want to be consistent the Squig looked up and grinned at him with big bloody teeth Roy use princess Den good squeak you're a boss we got a different problem now Margaret said and the two Orcs looked out across the battlefield and since the Titan they were inside had stopped firing and the orc gargan had turned its attention to one of the smaller Titans instead and it had used its massive liftedropa to levitate the smaller God engine into the air spitting in the face of this world's gravity seeing such a massive metal monstrosity floating around in the air with its legs kicking back and forth uselessly was right funny to the Pair Of Orcs however things got a lot less funny when they realized where the gargant's pilot was aiming its catch now the void Shields of a Titan are incredibly impressive but they do have limitations and having a literal Titan thrown at them was just beyond their capabilities the two Titans collided with each other but to the warlord Titan's credit having a warhound thrown at it wasn't quite enough to take it down it only wobbled magra and uffak laughed but then the wobble tilted slightly further just beyond the Tipping Point and the whole Titan toppled backwards with the Orcs still inside they both grabbed onto the walls and secured themselves as best they could as the Titan Came Crashing Down When It impacted they were flung backwards and crashed into the wall with all of the bloody humey bodies crashing on top of them remarkably they were uninjured and uffak considered that he had spent far too much time today in large metal vehicles that were about to crash into something when all the proper orc wanted was smash a few humies and steal some right good gubbins he forced some air back into his lungs and pushed off a dead humi he's dead no boss but what do we do now we get a sugar here dashboard the faceplate that they had entered through was now the ceiling and it was going to be quite a climb to get back out of it that's a door the Gretchen said pointing at the wall that was actually the roof of the chamber and sure enough it looked like a door and had one of those dumb wheels that humans like to put on their doors which never really made sense to uffak how can you steer a door the crew climbed out of the door and onto the Titan's body and it was at this point that uffak noticed that the Titan head was more centered in its chest compared to where ahumi's head should be above the shoulders it looked more like an orc which was definitely why it was so shooty if Titans had been shaped like humans they would probably just walk around the battle Battlefield doing nothing of importance looking stupid until they eventually got killed the boys looked around the battlefield and saw two groups charging in their Direction one side filled with the Warriors of the mechanicus armed with shields and pointy sticks that shot lasers and on the other side was the rest of Du Bois they were charging in the direction of the Fallen Titan which didn't seem like the smartest thing to do considering the warning sirens that it was blaring but then again never really did make much sense to him ufax started to formulate a plan saying that they should link back up with the boys but before he could finish his sentence magrat screamed his war cry and jumped down the Titan coming over now the two of them had just killed a gargon and the most sensible thing to do was to bag themselves some right good loot but uffak would take orders from a grot before he lit magrat run into a fight while he hung behind sorry always guess what he's doing this he let out a fierce war of his own ran forward and leaped clean into the air not even bothering to hop down the side of the Titan like magrod had he hit the ground hard but his legs were up to it and he thundered towards the oncoming cumi horde there was still a bleeding hole in his side where a humid with a claw weapon had stuck him good earlier in the day it stung pretty bad but then again what was life if you didn't get reminded how close it sometimes came to ending thank you
