In battle a Warboss often directly leads his tribe, and is a force to be reckoned with himself. Warboss's commonly keep a group of [[Nob]] bodyguards, [[Gretchin]] ammo haulers, and a pet [[Attack Squig]] around, making them even more formidable in combat.{{Fn|5b}} A Warboss maintains his position by power purely because of his size and the ability to beat any challengers to a pulp. Yet the more brawls and victories a Warboss wins, the bigger and stronger he gets, which will in turn increase his number of followers and prestige.{{Fn|2b}}{{Fn|2c}}
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.{{Fn|5b}}
