Warboss Review

WARBOSS

A fun short novel and a must read if you like da Orks! Warboss takes you on a tour of Ork culture in the backdrop of a waargh on an Imperium planet. On the verge of conquering the Imperium hive capital, the waargh takes a turn for the interesting and things don’t go as expected. True, that is to be expected when dealing with Orks, who are only too happy to start a fight or jet off at full speed towards the enemy in the absence of clearer instructions, even if that means starting a fight with each other!

In Warboss, you’ll see different factions within the Ork warmachine and how they view their waargh and each other as well as the perspective from the Imperium and Aeldari who also make an appearance. No spoiler here as the author has provided a list of characters at the start.

One of the features I like about this novel is the source material on the different Ork factions, from the Blood Axes and their use of tactics, to the Goffs who tend to be the biggest and brutish of Orks. There is a good array characters, including speedfreaks and grots and at the heart of the story is a Weirdboy. The Imperial and Aeldari characters get a little time to shine, but really this is an Ork story so much of the novel centres around them.

This was a key reason for me reading the novel. I wanted a novel that centres of events from an Ork perspective and gives greater detail to them including their warmachines and philosophy. They may be aggressive and crude, but there is Ork ‘Kulture’ and a time-honoured way their society works. I enjoyed reading Warboss. There are parts to the story I felt could have been deeper and the story ends with a number of questions and scope for future writings, so this may not please everyone. Overall, though, it is a fun short novel giving a good insight into the Orks.
