Kult of Speed

The Kult of Speed is an Ork "subkultur" for Orks obsessed with and addicted to speed.[4]
Overview
The Kult's members are Speed Freeks, Orks obsessed with and addicted to speed. Although most Orks prefer slaughter and explosions, some become addicted to driving really fast.[4]
These crazy individuals band together in their own mobs and warbands, full of War Buggies, Warbikes and Wartrukks. Shokkjump Dragstas[3a], Kustom Boosta-blastas[3b] and Megatrakk Scrapjets[3c] are also amongst their favourites.[4]
Most vehicles are painted red as, according to Orky superstition, "Da red wunz go fasta!" They rely on Mekboyz to build and maintain their vehicles, and sometimes a warband is even led by a Big Mek instead of a Warboss. The obsession with speed can affect any Ork - so it is possible to find Orks from different Clans in a Speed Freek force. Of all the Clans the Evil Sunz have the most Speed Freeks.[4]
Flyboyz
Flyboyz are an Ork group that are a sub-cult of the Speed Freeks and have been determined to be an unstable part of a tribe that holds a desire to fly.[6]
