Rotgrim Skab

Rotgrim Skab was an Ork Nob of the Evil Sunz clan and a member of the Cult of Speed.[1]

When the Orks invaded the Imperial planet Tunis, they established a base hidden in the mountains east of Tunis's great salt flats, planning to construct many war machines. Rotgrim, however, led a band of Ork Warbikers and other vehicles in daily raids away from the main base, simply out of boredom.[1]

On one of these excursions, the Orks encountered an Imperial Fists Scout Bike squadron led by Sergeant Hilts and raced after them, eager for a fight. Over the course of the combat, Rotgrim killed Scout Kelso and severely injured Sergeant Hilts before herding the surviving Scouts into the mountainous defile where the entrance to the main Ork encampment was located. Rotgrim then sprung its trap, opening the base and allowing the Orks to flood out to engage the humans.[1]

This all played into the Fists' plan; the Scouts were carrying a homing beacon, allowing an Imperial Fists Terminator squadron led by First Captain Darnath Lysander to teleport into the defile, enter the base and massacre the Orks, saving Tunis. Rotgrim, realising that it had been tricked, then angrily charged at the Scouts. The Nob was immediately killed by Scout Zatori's meltagun.[1]

Wargear

Rotgrim was armed with a large axe and a handheld dakkagun. He also rode a bike that was painted red to make it go faster.[1]
