He was involved in several major campaigns in [[M41]]. First was the battle for [[Lorn V]], where he temporarily allied with (and then took the head of) 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]]. Next he was seen on [[Acheron (World)|Acheron]]{{Cite this}}
==History==
As his name implies, Gorgutz has a penchant for taking the heads of his enemies, for as he pointed out to one particularly unobservant [[Nob]], it would make no sense to put someone's ''foot'' on his "pointy stikk".{{Cite this}}
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.{{Cite this}}
During the campaign of [[Lorn V]], Gorgutz harboured a shaky alliance with Lord [[Crull]], a champion of the [[World Eaters]] Chaos Legion, which was eventually broken towards the end of the campaign. In the midst of an [[Imperial Guard]] invasion supported by [[Eldar]], Gortgutz eviscerated his one-time ally, claiming the Chaos Lord's head for his own. Gorgutz then beat a hasty retreat to build up his Waaagh! after defeat at the hands of General [[Sturnn]].{{Cite this}}
Gorgutz eventually resurfaced once more, this time on the [[Necron]] [[Tomb World]] of [[Kronus]]. Here he led another bloody Waaagh!, which, although it once again ended in his defeat, the infamous Warlord escaped once more, with many more skullz on his pointy stikk. {{Cite this}}
Gorgutz returned for one another slaughter at [[Kaurava II]] - there were many [[Feral Ork]]s there, and no greenskin should be fighting without him as far as he was concerned. When he formed his new Waaagh!, he switched allegiace from the Blood Axes, to the Evil Sunz. Upon his defeat Gorgutz flees in a rocket ship to rebuild his Waaagh! elsewhere. Ultimately, Gorgutz 'Ead 'Unter is still at large, waiting for the next big battle he and his boyz can get stukk in at.{{Cite this}}
Gorgutz again returned on the world of [[Acheron (World)|Acheron]], seeking the [[Spear of Khaine (Weapon)|Spear of Khaine]]. After clashing with [[Biel-Tan]] and the [[Blood Ravens]] under [[Gabriel Angelos]], Gorgutz is forced into a temporary alliance with his foes in the face of [[Daemonic]] forces. The Blood Ravens eventually destroy the world to prevent the Daemons from spreading, but Gorgutz is teleported to safety. Gorgutz is nonetheless able to acquire the spear as a trophy before leaving.{{Fn|51}}
