If a Warboss is killed, the largest Nob of the tribe will take the Warboss's place, usually only after brutally restoring order among the tribe and establishing himself as the new Warboss. This works effectively out of combat, as things have time to sort themselves out through duels and challenges by would-be successors, but sometimes Ork Nobs fall upon one another during a battle, effectively destroying any sort of cohesion that the original Warboss had among the tribes under his command. Many an Ork invasion has been repelled due to killing the Warboss combined with a swift counter-attack, but such an action should never be thought of as a perfected method of fighting greenskins.{{cite this}}

====Variations====
Warbosses sometimes have a variation of titles depending on their place in Ork society.{{Fn|2b}}
The most powerful and successful Warbosses may instead refer to themselves by a unique and impressive title of their own devising, such as the "[[Snagrod|Arch-arsonist]]" of [[Ork Empire of Charadon|Charadon]].{{cite this}}

==Wargear==
Warbosses wield a wide array of wargear, with little variation existing. He will always wield a formidable array of weaponry, a necessity to reinforce his position to other Boyz. As the biggest and meanest Ork, he will always have the best spoils of war and access to the best equipment [[Mekboyz]] can provide. Often, Warbosses will ride transports such as [[Battlewagon]]s or [[Warbike]]s to the frontlines.{{Fn|2a}}
