[[Image:Gorgutz.jpg|thumb|right|300px|[[Warboss]] Gorgutz 'Ead 'Hunter]]
'''Gorgutz 'Ead 'Hunter''' was an [[Ork]] [[Warboss|Warlord]] who was involved in three major campaigns during the last century, mostly in [[M42M41]]. == History ==First was the battle for [[Lorn V]], where he temporarily allied with (and then took the head of) [[Crull|Lord Crull]], the [[World Eaters]] [[Champion of Chaos|champion]]. After being defeated on Lorn V, he fled to [[Kronus]] and built up his [[Waaagh!]] once more, only to - once again - be defeated. He then arrived in the [[Kaurava system]], settling his forces on [[Kaurava II]].
Gorgutz originated as a simple Warboss on the planet of [[Lorn V]], where various Ork tribes had been warring with each other for untold generations. Here his Waaagh! originated, as he united the tribes of rival Orks under his control, by burning their big banners. One notable tribe he captured were the Footstompas, a group of Orks that trained [[Squiggoth]]s. Warlord Gortgutz defeated them by sending their own [[Squiggoth]]s against them.
He is the second longest appearing character in the ''[[Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War|Dawn of War]]'' series (the first being [[Gabriel Angelos]]) having appeared in ''[[Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Winter Assault|Winter Assault]]'', ''[[Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade|Dark Crusade]]'' and ''[[Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm|Soulstorm]]'' without dying and will most likely make another return.
== Canon Conflicts ==
A [[Warboss]] named '''Gorgutz''' appears in the graphic novel [[Blood and Thunder]], but that warboss is killed in the third chapter of that series, so the character detailed above is likely to be a different Ork.{{Fn|4}}
