The Ork Dok: Mad Medic of the Waaagh!
A Mix of Medic and Madman
The Ork Dok, or Painboy, is a wild mix of battlefield medic and deranged butcher in Warhammer 40,000. Armed with crude tools like saws and syringes, they perform surgeries that might maim as much as heal. For Orks, pain is part of life, and a Dok’s table is a place of both agony and twisted glory.
Reckless but Revered
Doks are celebrated not for skill but for their audacity. They might replace a missing arm with a mechanical claw or patch up wounds with scrap metal. They also create Cyborkz, terrifying Ork cyborgs, showcasing brutal creativity. Survival rates don’t matter—what counts is that the Dok is willing to try.
Forgers of Leaders
Doks shape the Waaagh! by creating powerful leaders like Nobs and Warbosses. Using grotesque surgeries, they reinforce jaws, implant muscles, and make sure the strongest Orks keep control. Their crude methods hide a genius understanding of Ork physiology, ensuring the Waaagh! never falters.
Survival and Strength
For Orks, a visit to the Dok is both survival and transformation. Whether they leave bigger and meaner or not at all, Doks embody the Orks’ chaotic spirit—turning pain and ingenuity into endless fuel for the Waaagh!
