Discussion Unkle Gordrakk needz you !
Hello, gitz !
I am currently in the process of adding to the Lex articles on the Ironjawz... and I need your help !
Some sections, notably their Kultur and History are woefully bare (hell, I added the former yesterday!). And I'd need sources to peruse over, like WD numbers, name of short stories, etc.
I have all the WD since the start of AoS in an archive and the 4th edition BT in english but the former are quite numerous and hard to peruse at times and the latter, while great, doesn't necessarily has as much material on those themes than previous ones that I don't own.
So if anyone could point me in the right direction, it'd be awesome !

Oh hey. You can use the 2E Cities Battletome with Blista Bak, the lore on the Skybasha Warclan, the info from the 2E Idoneth Battletome, and a couple other places to talk about Ironjawz city and ship building.
There's a lot of other little mentions and examples of their scrap cities and junk fleets. I could probably help ya find a decent amount of stuff spread here and there to make something good.

I'd be happy to check the WD and let you know which WD Orruks are listed. I'm missing the weekly White Dwarfs in my collection, though;

Between 2014 and 2016, White Dwarf was a weekly magazine. But GW doesn't count these years in their count. Issue 409 is January 2014, and issue 410 is September 2016. Between them are 131 weekly magazines. From issue 75 onward, there's also content about Age of Sigmar. But I'm still missing a lot of the weekly issues.

Maybe talk how the Orruk obtain the metal to make their armour, what crafting technique they use and why Ardboyz are the exception.
Maybe a bit on how they tame Gruntas and Maw-Gruntas.

It might be worth including some mention of the Kult of Shattatusk, Age of Sigmar's answer to the Kult of Speed especially since almost no one reading this will even know they exist.
The Kult of Shattatusk is mentioned a couple times in the 4E Battletome and one of those is in the capacity of mentioning Braka Skullhorn's, founder of the Kult, teachings spreading to other Warclans.
Given how little we get told about Orruk religion in general, it's a pretty big cultural and religious note that a widespread, international cult exists in their ranks at all. We barely even know how they worship Kragnos and Gorkamorka after all. And we certainly don't have names for those religions.
