Guttrekk

From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Jump to: navigation, search

Guttrekk was an Ork Warboss who was part of a horde that invaded the eastern flank of the Realm of Ultramar, sometime after the Great Rift's creation.[1]

Many of the Imperium's worlds were attacked during the invasion and the Warboss led his forces in invading the Agri World Nova Thulium. It had served as an important asset in feeding the other worlds the Orks had invaded, until Guttrekk's attack nearly brought this to an end. However, while the Warboss' forces easily crushed Nova Thulium's PDF, the Orks met their match in an Ultramarines strike force, led by Lieutenant Calsius. Under the Lieutenant's leadership, the Ultramarines began to push the Orks back, but Calsius knew the battle would only be won with Guttrekk's death. The Lieutenant soon led a direct attack on Guttrekk and the Warboss was killed in a duel with Calsius, which allowed the Ultramarines to destroy the leaderless Orks.[1]
