The Bad Moons Orks are one of the wealthiest and most flamboyant clans in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, recognized for their lustrous displays of wealth and power. Known for their association with yellow and black war paint, they are heavily adorned with gold and intricate decorations, often leading them to be called “da flashiest” by their peers. This penchant for extravagance isn’t just for show; Bad Moons have an unusual biological quirk where they grow teeth (their currency) faster than other Orks, giving them a near-endless supply of wealth to spend on the best weapons, armor, and customizations their Mekboys can provide. This relentless display of opulence sets them apart as targets for envious Orks but also marks them as a formidable clan on the battlefield.
In combat, Bad Moons Orks are known for their love of dakka—firepower in abundance. They go to war equipped with the heaviest guns, flashiest gear, and biggest mobs of Boyz that their teeth can buy. Their shoota weapons are often customized to be more potent and reliable than those used by other clans, as they spare no expense in upgrading their arsenals. Whether it’s long-range slug throwers, deadly kustom shootas, or oversized armor plates, Bad Moons Orks are masters of showy firepower. Their weaponry and vehicles are not just symbols of status but deliver a terrifying array of fire on the battlefield, where sheer volume and the gleeful noise of their shooting define their tactics.
Despite their wealth and firepower, Bad Moons are also famous for their volatile, competitive nature within the clan. The most successful among them, known as Nobz and Warbosses, often attract mobs of eager Orks wanting to show off or challenge for the best loot. This desire to maintain their status means they are constantly seeking bigger, louder, and deadlier weapons, leading them into frequent skirmishes even within their own ranks. Yet, this fierce internal competition strengthens them, ensuring that only the toughest, richest, and flashiest Orks rise to the top. In their eyes, war is both a business and a sport, where the loudest, flashiest display is the ultimate proof of an Ork’s worth.
