Da Meklord
Da Meklord, Da Biggest Big Mek, was a Bad Moons Big Mek Warboss, who commanded the Tekwaaagh!.[1]
He commanded the Mork’s Hammer, which was the flagship of his Ork Fleet, and was personally armed with a Supa-Shoota and a Shokkhammer. The Tekwaaagh! was composed of many different factions of Orks, each of which is led by a Warboss who could lead their own Waaagh!. They were kept in line, however, by the memory of Oldfang Krumpthunda's explosive death, after he fought the Da Meklord in a failed attempt to seize control of the Tekwaaagh![1]
The Da Meklord's hordes invaded the Imperial Forge World Hephaesto, which was already being attacked by the Freebooter Badrukk. Rather than have their forces fight each other, for the right to loot the Forge World, the two Ork commanders agreed to share Hephaesto between them. They agreed that the Forge World's resources would go to whoever claims them first and that the Freebooters and Tekwaaagh! would not fight each other. Da Meklord told his Orks, though, to ensure there were "accidents" that ensured the Tekwaaagh! gathered the most prized loot.[1]
Da Meklord was later challenged for leadership by one of his warbosses Ufthak Blackhawk and lost. After the Meklords death, Ufthak seized command over the Tekwaaagh! and renamed it Waaagh! Ufthak.[2]
