Boss Snikrot

Snikrot, Boss Snikrot, Snikrot the Stalker, is no ordinary Ork cutthroat but a living legend of greenskin warfare, a Kommando who has honed the cunning tactics of the Blood Axe clan into something close to supernatural mastery. He leads the Red Skull Kommandos through the steaming equatorial jungles of the hive world Armageddon, and among all the horrors that world has endured, he is the one the famed Armageddon Ork Hunters have learned to genuinely fear.

His warband earns its grisly name from its habits. The Red Skull Kommandos scalp their victims and smear their own faces with the still-warm blood of the slain, painting themselves into the very nightmares they spread. They strip away every unnecessary scrap of kit until their bodies melt into the jungle, then wage a patient campaign of terror and sabotage that gnaws at the Imperial war effort from within, ambushes sprung from nowhere, sentries found dead, whole barracks of soldiers cut down in their sleep before a single alarm can sound.

The stories told of Snikrot border on the impossible. They speak of a killer who drifts through dense jungle without disturbing a leaf, who passes through tangled groves as silently as a ghost, whose eyes blaze with a malice that lives only for slaughter. He began his career as the personal assassin and executioner of Warboss Killzkar before rising to command his own feared company, and his mastery of infiltration has become a thing of grim myth on every front where his name is whispered.

Snikrot's war has since spilled far beyond Armageddon's jungles. He has launched boarding raids against the void-ships of the Black Legion and undertaken secret missions on Ghazghkull's behalf, tied to the Great Warlord's renewed designs on Armageddon. Making a captured Imperial gunship his mobile lair, he has returned once more to the world that made his legend, slipping back into its jungles to resume the silent, patient killing at which no other Ork can match him.
