Orky 'Istory Bitz: Grotpoker was the runtherd for the Badmoon warboss Kraulkmural until the eldar ended his employment. During a land campaign against the eldar he was seriously injured several times. After Da painboy Kavorkian put his 'ead back togather and stuck da squig arm on him he was beginning to be seen as a ded 'ard Boss by da boyz. Soon he abandoned the waaargh and set off with all the snakebites to make his fortune! He went on to build his own particular form of waargh, using nice traditional ork values, ie snakebite values.

Origin of Grotpoker's Killer Buzzer Squigs:
During one of the many breeding sessions for squigs, grotpoker found
that a new buzzer squig seemed to be very intelligent (by ork
standards). They, however, would eat orks and seemed more territorial
than the norm. He soon started keeping small nests of these to throw
into areas where enemies were hiding. The squigs were tenacious and
wouldn't leave the area around the hive, attacking all who entered their
territory. He soon realized he had a bond with them on a bestial
level. Soon he was never seen without a buzzing swarm of these
ferocious squigs. He was able to set them on runaway grots or snotlings
with a gesture. He became a mighty warboss among the snakebites. The
swarm is huge and fast so they may never be attacked.(it is just a
weapon after all). They are also extremely fast and avoid templates and
blastmarkers. This one event, perhaps brought on by the serjury,
sealed it in the minds of the snakebites that he should be their
leader.
