Gorgutz 'Ead 'Hunter is an Ork Warlord who has been involved in three major campaigns during the last century, mostly being in M42. First was the battle for Lorn V, where he temporarily allied with (and then took the head of) Lord Krull, the World Eaters champion. After being defeated on Lorn V, he fled to Kronus and built up his Waaagh! once more, only to - once again - be defeated. He then arrived in the Kaurava system, settling his forces on Kaurava II.

Gortgutz originated as a simple Warboss on the planet of Lorn V, where various Ork tribes had been warring with each other for untold generations. Here his Waaagh! originated, as he united the tribes of rival Orks under his control, by burning their big banners. One notable tribe he captured were the Foot Stompas, a group of Orks that trained Squiggoths. Warlord Gortgutz defeated them by sending their own Squiggoths against them.

During the campaign of Lorn V, Gorgutz harbored a shaky alliance Lord Krull, a champion of the World Eaters Chaos Legion, which was eventually broken towards the end of the campaign - in the midst of an Imperial Guard invasion supported by Eldar, Gortgutz eviscerated his one-time ally, claiming the Chaos Lord's head for his own, before making a hasty retreat to build up his Waaagh! after defeat at the hands of General Sturnn.

Gortgutz eventually resurfaced once more, this time on the Necron tomb world of Kronus. Here he led another bloody Waaagh!, which, although it once again ended in his defeat, the infamous Warlord escaped once more, with many more skullz on his pointy stikk.

Gortgutz returned for one final slaughter at Kaurava II - there were many feral boyz there, and no greenskin would be fighting without him as far as he was concerned. This Waaagh!, like his others, didn't end in his conquest of the Kaurava system, but he and his boyz did slaughter many 'umies that day.

Ultimately, Gortgutz 'Ead 'Unter is still at large, waiting for the next big battle he and his boyz can get stukk in at.

As his name implies, Gorgutz has a penchant for taking the heads of his enemies, for as he pointed out to one particularly unobservant Nob, it would make no sense to put someone's foot on his "pointy stikk".

He is also the character to appear the most in the Dawn of War series by appearing in three games.
