The Warp Dekapitator is an invention of Da Boffin (a Mek of the Tekwaaagh!). When activated on a ship's Warp Engine, it causes a "katastrophic warp implosion," causing the ship and all nearby vessels to travel back to the origin point of its last Warp jump.[1]

Da Boffin used the Warp Dekapitator on an invaded Adeptus Mechanicus warship and, as he had hoped, the device caused[2] both the warship and the Tekwaaagh!'s Ork Fleet to travel back to the Forge World Hephaesto.[1] However, the Warp Dekapitator has its drawbacks, as its activation can cause solid objects to merge into each other. This was the case[2] when the Tekwaaagh! arrived at Hephaesto[1] and Da Boffin discovered that some of the Mechanicus warship's crew had merged into a giant blob that was hungry for Ork flesh.[2]
