'''Badgit Snazzhammer''' was a veteran [[Bad Moons]] [[ork]] [[Nob]] of the [[Tekwaaagh!|TekWaaagh!]], under the command of [[Da Meklord]]. Until his death, his mob had a number of orks that would become notable to the TekWaaagh!, including the [[Mekboy]] [[Da Boffin]], [[Dok]] [[Drozfang]], and Badgit's eventual successor, [[Ufthak Blackhawk]]. Badgit took his surname from his prized wargear, the [[Snazzhammer]], a [[Powered weapon|powered]] hatchet-hammer upscaled into a monstrous polearm the height of a man.{{Fn|1}}
Towards the end of his life, he and his mob were entrusted with the boarding action of the [[Resolute Spirit]], a [[Mechanicus]] ship that the TekWaaagh! chanced upon as it was fleeing the [[Battle of for Hephaesto]] in search of reinforcements.{{Fn|2}} Da Meklord recognized the ship as a Mechanicus vessel and hoped to use it to follow its path back to its home forge world for loot.{{Fn|1}}
Though he led a successful boarding action supported by other mobs providing a distraction to draw off the Resolute Spirit's defenders, once they were close to their objective, Badgit's mob encountered a [[Kastelan Robot]] that guarded the ship's warp core. Badgit attacked the automaton immediately, which earned him a quick death as the robot burst his skull with a burst of its shoulder weapon.{{Fn|1}}
