Mekboys

Mekboys are a fictional subspecies of Ork in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. They are Orks who possess an exceptional talent for engineering and mechanical repair, often to the point of obsession. This inherent skill allows them to build, maintain, and modify Ork war machines and weaponry, which are typically crude but devastatingly effective. Mekboys are instrumental in the Ork WAAAGH! (a massive Ork invasion), as their creations are essential for the Orks' military might.

Their methods are unconventional and often dangerous, relying on a combination of salvaged scrap, sheer intuition, and a phenomenon known as the "WAAAGH! field," a psychic emanation that makes Ork technology function beyond the laws of physics. Mekboys are easily identifiable by their often soot-stained overalls, welding goggles, and an array of tools perpetually attached to their belts. They are usually found amidst piles of scrap, constantly tinkering and improvising.

Despite their crude appearance and seemingly haphazard approach to engineering, Mekboys are vital to Ork society. Without them, Ork fleets and war machines would be far less numerous and potent. They are respected, and sometimes feared, within Ork culture for their ability to bring destruction through invention. Their creations range from simple, ramshackle vehicles to colossal battle fortresses and devastating weapons of mass destruction.
