Speed Freaks Mob............................95 points + Wartrukk

The Kult of Speed is a constant social problem for the Orks.   Nobody minds a few reckless races around the stronghold, but sometimes it gets out of hand, especially if the Warboss's fleet of new red wagons get smashed up by crazed hoodlums in ramshackle Mekboy Hot-Rodz.  The Warboss is sometimes left with no option but to banish the offenders together with their vehicles.  From that moment on they become a roving band of troublemakers looking for adventure, willing to fight for anybody.   All they want is some red paint for their buggies and enough teef to buy a few spare bits and a can of high octane squig gas to keep the engines runnin'.  They are usually a good choice of mercenaries from a prospective employer's point of view, since there is a fair chance that they will hurtle into the enemy and pursue them into the distant horizon never to be seen again and not stopping to collect their share of the booty.

Note: The Wartrukk can be found in White Dwarf 221.

Khorne's Stormboyz Korps

Kaptin...........50 points
Boyz..............23 points per model

Most Stormboyz eventually grow out of their obsession with marching about, dressing in uniforms, and other militaristic behaviour.  However, a few individuals find it hard to give up the old ways, watching their mates drift away or die, while the new Stormboy recruits often come to regard them as cranky old-timers.  Some become Stormboy Kaptins and continue to lead Stormboy Mobz in combat, but others are drawn into one of the Freebooter Bands which worship the Blood God Khorn.  Worship of the Chaos Powers is not tolerated amongst sane and sensible Orks, but the cult is rampant amongst Freebooter Stormboyz.  The Blood God epitomizes the martial virtues which they hold dear, including a harsh disciplinary code, binding rules governing their conduct as honourable warriors, and, of course, a life of almost continual blood-letting.   Stormboyz of Khorne are good hand to hand fighters and easily find employment.   Their strange sense of honour permits them to fight with equal vigour on behalf of Human Chaos Champions and other Chaos Forces, as well as for Ork warlords.  Khorne's Stormboyz who survive long enough may be rewarded with gifts or attributes of which they are very proud.  Once committed to the Blood God the Orks know they can never return to normal Ork society.  They are destined to fall on some far flung field, their blood and bleaching bones a sacrifice to Khorne.  You only have to look at the face of any idol of Khorne to see how that Power thrives on the worship and sacrifice of Orks such as these.

Mob: The Korps consists of a Kaptin and 4 - 19 Khorne's Stormboyz.

Weapons:

Kaptin: Bolt pistol and Chainaxe.
Boyz: Bolt pistol and Chainaxe.

Wargear: The Kaptin may be given up to two wargear cards or Chaos Rewards of Khorne.

The Kaptin may be given additional equipment chosen from the Armour, Assault Weapons, and Stikkbombz sections of the Wargear List.  Note that if the Kaptin is given armour then he may add the +1 bonus for the Mark of Khorne.  This does not apply to Mega-armour.

The Boyz may be given additional equipment chosen from the Assault Weapons, and Stikkbombz sections of the Wargear List.

The entire Korps may be equipped with Stormboy Jump packs at a cost of +5 points per model.
