An Orc Bully is an irascible, infirm and often incontinent old Orc warrior who serves an indispensable purpose -- ensuring the Goblins crewing the war machines shoot in the right direction and don't run away. Woe betide the Goblin that skives off the day of the big battle![2a]
Role[]
Being lazy, Goblins rarely finish what they start, so canny warbosses provide Orc overseers to see the work on their Rock Lobbers and Spear Chukkas gets completed.[3a]
These Orc Bullies are grizzled and sometimes crippled Greenskin veterans who can't keep up with the young pups in the battle line anymore. Whilst it's the Gobbos that actually do most of the work on the various war machines, the Orc Bullies accompany them to battle to shout at them.[1a]
This is a comfortable position for an Orc, as it allows him to crack the whip with authority without doing any of the actual work.[3a] The looming presence of a gnarled and muscular Orc helps keep discipline amongst the crew, as Goblins by themselves are likely to abandon their machines should the enemy get too close.[1a][3a] He also lends a hand if the enemy gets tired of having rocks (or Gobbos) drop on their heads and tries to sort them out.[1a]
Bullies have proven so effective that even Goblin Warbosses sometimes seek them out to ensure their war machines remain steady and focused.[3a]
