Mekboyz

Mekboyz are a subspecies of Ork within the fictional universe of Warhammer 40,000. These Ork individuals are characterized by their exceptional mechanical aptitude and their obsession with building and maintaining Ork war machines. Unlike many Orks who rely on brute strength and sheer numbers, Mekboyz utilize their cunning and understanding of crude, yet effective, technology to create devastating weaponry and vehicles.

Their creations are often ramshackle in appearance, cobbled together from scrap metal, salvaged parts, and anything else they can get their hands on. Despite their haphazard construction, Ork machines built by Mekboyz are surprisingly resilient and potent on the battlefield. These contraptions range from crude but powerful guns and armor to massive, cobbled-together tanks, walkers, and even makeshift spacecraft. The underlying principle of Ork technology, known as "WAAAGH! energy," allows these devices to function beyond conventional engineering principles.

Mekboyz typically occupy the role of the chief mechanic and engineer within an Ork clan or warband. They are revered for their ability to keep the Orks' war machines running and to produce new, more destructive devices. While not typically frontline fighters in the same way as Boyz or Nobz, Mekboyz are still dangerous adversaries, often wielding oversized wrenches or custom-built weapons. Their presence is crucial to the Orks' constant warfare, as their ingenuity fuels the relentless Ork drive to fight.
