'''Gorgutz 'Ead 'Hunter''' was an [[Ork]] [[Warboss|Warlord]] of the [[Blood Axes]] and later [[Evil Sunz]]. 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]], eventually conquering the entire system. Next he was seen on [[Acheron (World)|Acheron]]{{Cite thisFn|1}}
==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 thisFn|1}}
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 thisFn|1}}
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]].{{Fn|1}}
