The Bad Moons: Warhammer 40,000’s Wealthiest and Flashiest Ork Clan
The Flashiest Ork Clan in the Galaxy
The Bad Moons are the wealthiest and most extravagant of the Ork clans in Warhammer 40,000. They measure status not by brute strength or speed but by the teef (Ork currency) they flaunt and the gear they own. Their unique biology allows their teef to grow faster than any other Orks, making them rich beyond comparison. With their wealth, they acquire the best weapons, flashy armor, and powerful vehicles, all decorated in their signature yellow, believed to bring luck.
Masters of Firepower
Bad Moons have a love for big, loud, and flashy dakka (guns), which dominates their armies. Their arsenal includes oversized shootas, devastating custom gunz, and looted tanks, built by well-paid Mekboyz. They wield extravagant weapons most Orks can only dream of owning, from massive Kustom Force Fields to ornate Wartrukks. On the battlefield, their firepower is matched by their grandiose displays, making them both impressive and envied.
Wealth Brings Trouble
With great wealth comes great risk, and the Bad Moons are constant targets. Rival Ork clans admire and covet their wealth, leading to frequent battles over loot and wargear. Even within the clan, Nobz and Warbosses compete fiercely to outdo each other with the most extravagant displays of power. This culture of constant competition ensures the Bad Moons stay sharp, though it keeps them under constant threat.
Winning in Style
For the Bad Moons, war is about more than just victory—it’s about doing it with flair. Their Warbosses, adorned with gold and custom mega-armor, lead with confidence and swagger. Their Boyz, armed to the teeth, take pride in their elite status as some of the richest and best-equipped Orks in the galaxy. With their preference for long-range firepower, they soften enemies with storms of bullets and rokkits before the rest of the horde charges in. For the Bad Moons, being rich and armed is the ultimate Orky way to live.
