He flexed his wrist.
An irresistible force surged from the warhammer.
Crack!
Kroodaka's supposedly indestructible Power Claw, forged from Titan armor plating, shattered piece by piece at the knuckles!
Then Horus stepped forward, the Talon of Horus on his left hand flashing like black lightning straight into Kroodaka's chest.
Kroodaka tried to retreat, but it was already too late.
He could only watch as that savage claw tore through his thick breastplate, ripped through his tough skin, and plunged deep into his chest, seizing his violently beating heart-a heart larger than a bucket.
"You... what've you... done..."
Kroodaka lowered his head, staring in disbelief at the arm thrust through his chest.
"Nothing much."
Horus looked up, a cruel smile spreading across his face.
"Just wanted you to feel what it's like to have your heart skip a beat."
With that, he clenched his hand.
Squelch!
The heart burst in his grip.
The expression on the face of Kroodaka the "Behemoth," the WAAAGH! leader who had made all of Vigilus tremble, froze in that instant of shock and agony. His massive body slowly toppled backward, as though all its strength had been drained away.
Crash!!!
The enormous corpse crashed onto his throne, smashing the seat built from Titan wreckage to pieces.
At that moment, the WAAAGH! field shuddered violently like a punctured balloon, then began to fade rapidly.
On the distant battlefield, Dakkabad the "Big Tank" and Oglock the "Bite Spider" both felt the power flowing from their boss disappear.
Both stopped fighting the Imperial Army and turned their gazes toward the scrap factory.
They saw it.
They saw Kroodaka's enormous, lifeless corpse.
They also saw the black-and-gold figure standing atop it, slowly raising his warhammer to proclaim his victory to the entire battlefield.
Neither Ork Warboss showed the slightest anger
