*THUMP*
Gargatok Gitsmasha was not an idiot.
*THUMP*
The Beekie commander wasn’t desperate.
*THUMP*
Well, he might be but it didn’t matter.
*THUMP*
He called out Gargatok Gitsmasha.
*THUMP*
Gargatok knew that if he died, the lads would all start squabbling over who’s the biggest.
*THUMP*
Mork’s sake, it had taken all of Gargatok’s patience to hold together the disparate elements of Thraknar’s WAAAAGH and re-form it into a fighting force.
*THUMP*
So, Cap’n Antonius wanted to kill Gargatok Gitsmasha so he could break up the lads.
*THUMP*
That was fine.
*THUMP*
He was welcome to try.
*THUMP*
Thing was, Garagtok was the boss for one reason.
*THUMP*
He was the biggest.
*THUMP*
Being the biggest was sometimes all you needed.
*THUMP*
Case in point.
*THUMP*
That hab block over there?
*THUMP*
Now it was rubble.
*THUMP*
That humie gun emplacement?
*THUMP*
Flat.
*THUMP*
Cap’n Antonius was a smart Beekie.
*THUMP*
Beekies are good at things like fighting and laying traps.
*THUMP*
But even the ‘ardest Beekie tends to die when a Gargant steps on ‘em.
*THUMP*
*THUMP*
*THUMP*
