[[Image:Stikkbomb.jpg|thumb|right|Ork Stikkbomb<sup>2</sup>]]
'''Stikkbombz''' are [[grenade]]s of [[Ork]] manufacture, in the form of a stick with the explosive part at the top and the pin at the bottom. They resemble the [[wikipedia:Model 24 grenade|Model 24 "Stielhandgranate"]] (aka ''Potato masher'') grenades used by German forces in World War II.<sup>1</sup>
The stick handle is very useful, allowing the grenade to be easily carried stuffed down a boot or through a belt. The main reason for the popularity of the design is its brutal appearance and appropriate sense of size and power.<sup>1</sup>
During [[Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader|Rogue Trader]] and [[2nd Edition]], Orks had four types of Stikkbombz, equivalent to smoke, frag, krak and melta bombs used by humans. Besides these four they had other unique grenade types of their own, which made use of aspects of Ork culture - fungus and squigs.*<sup>1</sup>
