Badgit Snazzhammer
Badgit Snazzhammer was a veteran Bad Moons ork Nob of the TekWaaagh!, under the command of Da Meklord. Until his death, his mob had a number of orks that would become notable to the TekWaaagh!, including the Mekboy Da Boffin, Dok Drozfang, and Badgit's eventual successor, Ufthak Blackhawk. Badgit took his surname from his prized wargear, the Snazzhammer, a powered hatchet-hammer upscaled into a monstrous polearm the height of a man.[1]
Towards the end of his life, he and his mob were entrusted with the boarding action of the Resolute Spirit, a Mechanicus ship that the TekWaaagh! chanced upon as it was fleeing the Battle for Hephaesto in search of reinforcements.[2] Da Meklord recognized the ship as a Mechanicus vessel and hoped to use it to follow its path back to its home forge world for loot.[1]
Though he led a successful boarding action supported by other mobs providing a distraction to draw off the Resolute Spirit's defenders, once they were close to their objective, Badgit's mob encountered a Kastelan Robot that guarded the ship's warp core. Badgit attacked the automaton immediately, which earned him a quick death as the robot burst his skull with a burst of its shoulder weapon.[1]
Though not quite their intention, Snazzhammer was avenged when Ufthak used strategy to first try to sneak past the Kastelan using disguise (hull plating with tech priest corpses affixed to it). Though when that failed, he used a mass of Stikkbombs to overwhelm the automaton's defenses and the Snazzhammer to finish it off, though Ufthak was grievously injured by the robot's Power Fists and its exploding remains.[1]
Thanks to the intervention of Dok Drozfang, Ufthak inherited the Snazzhammer and Badgit's command (and Badgit's larger, decapitated body), becoming the new Nob. Da Boffin was successfully able to use his device, leading Da Meklord back to the vessel's home forge world.[1]
