Ogruk Gutwrekka is an Ork who was once the Bad Moons Warboss of Waaagh! Gutrekka,[1a] until he was overthrown by Gargaz Teefgrabba.[1c]
History
His downfall began, when Gutwrekka led an invasion of the Imperial Hive World Luteus Alpha in order to claim its Promethium for his Waaagh!.[1a] During the invasion, the Warboss took notice of the Ork Gargaz Teefgrabba after he killed an Astra Militarum Commissar in battle, which caused the nearby Guardsmen to flee.[2a] The Warboss decided to keep Teefgrabba close to him because of this, but in doing so, Gutwrekka took notice of Teefgrabba's Hair Squig and decided to claim it for himself.[2b] In his mind, since Gutwrekka was the Warboss then rightfully the Waaagh!'s snazziest things belonged to him.[1a]
This led Gutwrekka to invite Teefgrabba aboard a Heavy Bommer,[2b] when the Waaagh! began attacking one of Luteus Alpha's Hives.[2c] While Teefgrabba was firing from its open hatch, during the attack, the Warboss struck and pulled the Hair Squig from his head before tossing Teefgrabba out of the Bommer.[1a] However Teefgrabba not only survived the fall, but vowed to reclaim his stolen Hair Squig. This led him to find an aircraft on Luteus Alpha and use it to board Gutwrekka's Kroozer, which was in the Hive World's orbit. Teefgrabba then fought his way through the Kroozer in order to confront Gutwrekka, but the battle inflicted such heavy damage on the Kroozer, that it crashed into Luteus Alpha before Teefgrabba had a chance to do so. Once more though, he survived the crash landing into the Hive World, but Teefgrabba was soon confronted by Gutwrekka who also survived the impact. The Warboss was aboard a Stompa and insulted Teefgrabba for causing his Kroozer to crash. Teefgrabba though ignored this upon seeing his Hair Squig on Gutwrekka's head and demanded the Warboss return it to him. A laughing Gutwrekka refused and claimed the Hair Squig now preferred him over Teefgrabba, which enraged the Ork. He vowed to take it back by force and the two then fought. Teefgrabba emerged victorious[1b] and the Warboss' Stompa exploded from the damage he caused it. Gutwrekka survived though and as he lay dazed, Teefgrabba reclaimed his Hair Squig and declared himself the Waaagh!'s new Warboss. He renamed it as Waaagh! Teefgrabba and then continued the attack on Luteus Alpha.[1c]
