The largest and most incredible ships of the Orcs are the Ripper Hulks – and indeed, they are massive. With Captain Krudger, the highest-ranking officer of the fleet, their tactics are simple yet effective.

In battle, they move slowly and inexorably towards the biggest and most powerful enemy ship they can approach, and they begin to work with their crude machinery:

• Giant chainsaws powered by goblin crank-wheels, capable of slicing a three-story ship in half.
• Mechanical ram devices that can create dents even in a dwarf's iron ship.
• Other devices more suited for siege than for naval warfare.
