→Overview
The Blood Axes were the first of the clans to encounter the [[Imperium]]. During their exposure and battles they picked up many [[human]] tactics, such as using camouflage (although often it is too bright to actually disguise the Ork), using [[Looted Wagon|looted Imperial vehicles]] and retreating when they're losing. They were also exposed to human culture and values, making them seem less trustworthy to other Ork clans.{{Fn|2}}
They trade with humans for equipment and vehicles, and have even worked as mercenaries for the Imperium at times (such as the [[Battle at Big Toof River]]). All of these things lead followers of other clans to brand them as dangerously treacherous, cowardly, and downright un-Orky.{{Cite ThisFn|1}}
Blood Axe [[Beast Snagga]]s are generally more progressive than those of other clans, fielding large amounts of technology such as [[Gunwagon]]s and [[Wartrakk]]s. They also breed their [[Squig]]s to sport camouflage patterns and field large amounts of [[Squigback Raiderz]].{{Fn|5a}}
