Breaka Boyz are a type of Ork fighter who prefer to get up close and personal in their battles. They are often seen in Wrecka Krews.^[1a]

Description

A Breaka Boy^[1c]

Equipped with hammers crafted from scrap metal, they use their immense strength to smash through armoured hulls, pry open bulkheads, or rip through chitinous armour to get to whatever valuable parts lie inside.^[1a]

Breaka Boyz have a rivalry of sorts with Tankbustas, viewing their preference for long-ranged firepower as kill-stealing and cheating. However the two subgroups will nonetheless work together to form a Wrecka Krew.^[1a]

Operatives

• Krushas, are clad in heavy scrap metal armour, and often lead the Wrecka Krew into battle. Their pneumatic knucklebustas make them skilled siege-breakers, capable of delivering a right hook powerful enough to cave in a bunker door or punch a hole in the armour of a battle tank as easily as cracking a Boss Nob’s skull.^[1b]

• Fighters prefer close-quarters combat. While they typically go after the biggest, toughest enemies, they’re more than willing to smash anything their boss points at. Their weapons, known simply as smash hammers, may be simple, but they’re no less effective.^[1b]

• Demolishas take things further than just swinging a hammer—they strap explosive rockets to their weapon’s head before swinging them with fury. Though the resulting blasts can be deadly to the Demolisha themselves, they almost always ensure the target is obliterated.^[1b]
