The '''{{PAGENAME}}Wyrm-Killa Tribe''' are a tribe of [[Orks]].{{Fn|1}}
==Overview==
When [[Waaagh!]] [[Bork]] rampaged out of the [[Ghoul Stars]] and into the [[Eastern Fringe]], theWyrm-Killa tribe came with them. Festooned with alien trophies and covered in scars,this [[Snakebite]] tribe earned their name killing [[Tyranids]]. [[Runtherds]] tell tales of how thetribe were hunting through the jungles of some remote world when they came across agreat fleshy spore encased in glistening amber. Dragging it back to the Ork fleet, theycracked it open and hundreds of clawed, serpentine Tyranids spilled out. TheSnakebites hunted the creatures, taking great pleasure in the fact that they seemed togrow rapidly, and no sooner had you bashed one than another one appeared from avent or drain. Before long the Ork [[Kroozer]] was infested, and most of the other tribes onboard were killed, only the Snakebites surviving in the weird Tyranid jungle their shiphad become. By the time the infested kroozer drifted into a system, the Snakebites hadfinally killed most of the Tyranids on board, having learnt the best ways to crack themopen and smash them up. Covered in Tyranid trophies and using alien claws andtalons as weapons, they joined up with other Orks, calling themselves the Wyrm-Killatribe. Having had so much fun hunting the Tyranids in space, the tribe had kept somealive and released them on the first world they came to. While the rest of the Orksbashed the human inhabitants the Wyrm-Killas made sure the Tyranids had time tomultiply, so they would make good hunting. By the time the Orks had torn apart thehumans they found themselves overrun by Tyranids, and gleefully turned theirattentions to this new foe. Since then the Wyrm-Killas have spread Tyranids to dozensof worlds so they can have a good fight wherever they go.{{Fn|1}}
