Mekboyz are an essential part of every warband, as without them vehicles and spacecraft would no longer keep running and the Orks would never be able to mount a proper [[Waaagh!]]. As such, lower-ranked Mek apprentices known as [[Spanners]] often lead mobs of [[Loota]]s and [[Burna Boy]]z, going around any Ork settlement or ship and keeping all their technology in the greenskin equivalent of working order. Meanwhile, [[Warboss]]es and [[Nob]]z who want a new [[Battlewagon]] or weapon go directly to a Mek and commission him to build it then and there in their personal workshop{{Fn|8a}}, using [[Teef]], scrap, or the opportunity for an interesting field test as incentive.{{Fn|10}} In a scrap, Mekz will themselves take to the field in battle, wielding a variety of crude but exotic and high-tech weaponry.{{Fn|8a}}
