- Grimgor Ironhide, Greatest Black Orc Warboss to ever lived



A Black Orc is the biggest, meaniest, and most strongest and brutal of all the Greenskin race. They get their name from the darker shade of green or black in their skin, another reason for the title might also be their black colored armor and their horrendous and foul odor. Although contrary to popular beliefs, a Black Orc is no normal Orcish Greenskin but an actually different species of their kind, that was blended by the Chaos Dwarves of the Darklands. These beast are grim and singularly focus on war, an occupation they take extremely seriously. Unlike the other biologically related Greenskin race's, Black Orc's obtained a certain trait that is nearly "unique" in a regular Orc. Discipline is what the Black Orc's are fear of the most and would often been in the thickest of fightings, although their strenght and size could also be noted.

Overview
The Origins of the Black Orc is debatable, but the most widely known story of origin is that of the Chaos Dwarves. The Chaos Dwarves of the Dark Land grew very wary of the animosity and infighting of their greenskin slaves, and so sought a solution to this problem. With the aid of dark magic, and the choosing of the bestest and most strongest of the Greenskin slaves, they magically bred the first Black Orc. If this is true, their expirement became a disaster, for their ability to create a more dicipline and coordinated Greenskin race, only made them the perfect leaders for brethren to rise up and take over their Chaos Dwarves Overlords. The magically abilities of their mage's couldn't erase the strong sense of independence that all Black Orc's posses and in doing so, they only created a Beast to lead the monster's. The great uprising from these Black Orc's almost lead to the complete destruction of the Chaos Dwarf Empire, coming so far as to be at the doors of the temple of Hashut itself, but only the timely betrayal of their Hobgolin allies, spared the Dwarves from complete annilations.

The Black Orc's pride themselves on being the best fighters in their tribe, or in fact the whole Greenskin race. Only the strongest of the Greenskins race, such as Big Un's or Warbosses can even match the skill and strenght of a Black Orc. In fact, Black Orc's think of themselves as superoir to all Greenskin race. This pride they held is due in part to the Orc's tendency for animosity. An Orc's life is always to fight, and more often then not, brawls or pit-fights happened in a daily basis's that makes the idea of Discipline or Coordination unheard of. This lack of discipline is a shortcoming that Black Orc's neither forgive nor forget. The Black Orc's opinion of the Gobliod race is even worse, thinking them as nothing more then a annoyance not fit to even carry spare equipment, much less fight.

Indeed the Black Orc's, since they are the best fighters, would have the "Lion Share" of the loot in battle. Being militaristic and spartan, Black Orc's would find anyway to improve on their combat, or to be more bigger and meaner. Black Orc's usually band togather in their own mob, usually independent from the other greenskin armies, acting as shock troops, or elite heavy infantry to fight in the thickest of fightings. Black Orc's would regularly spend their time inbetween battles to nitch up broken armour, or to fix certain weapons for the next big battle. In additon to wearing impossible huge armour, Black Orc's usually have the best weapons around, often bearing multiple choppas of various sizes. These Orc would even come close to cleaning their gear "as close for Orcs anyway" when the fighting is over. Such unnatural activity is often discriminated by the their greenskin brethren, but only if the Black Orc's aren't noticing. Most Greenskins can't comprehend their larger darker skinned brethren, they dont understand such kill-joy behavour, perferring instead to whoop and revel in jubliant victory celebrations, such as Skull-Stacking contest or generally to just seek out every opportunity to engange in a brawl or punch up, which only more distance the Black Orcs from them, often trying to keep to themselves.

Regarless of history, there have been accounts of there being pure Black Orc tribes, in the Darklands, yet these tribes are very rare, some of which are very famous such as the Ulott's Bashaz, or the Steel Fang tribe and Grimlott's Grundaz that dwell in the lands. Black Orc's would try their best to keep to themselves but it is still not uncommon for Black Orc's to violently take over other tribes of greenskins, even if a Warboss rule it. In fact, during a battle or Waagh! a Black Orc would leave if the fighting is slow downed, but if the pickings are good they would try to "supplantaing" the tribes current Warboss. The most strongest and powerful Black Orc to ever live was the legendary Grimgor Ironhide. His deeds are legend, being the first Black Orc Warboss to march across the World's Edge Mountain, and to be able to gather an army to fight the armies of the Kurgan tribes of the steppes. Indeed his prowness is unmatched, only the great Crom the Conquer, Archaon herald manage to fight him to a standstill.
