Iron Angels
Orlock (HoI)
Lore
Out of Action Tally: X X X X X II Kill Tally: II A band of miners and road warriors once under the employ of House Valencor, the Iron Angels were far from the carnage of the House's fall and were quickly scooped up by House Orlock in the aftermath. Their new management has done little to change the Angels' position in the underhive save for a score of new rivals to contend with in the unending proxy wars of the House gangs. Having been sent down to Dread Burrow shortly before the onset of the gang war, the Iron Angels had only just finished setting up a base of operations in a long-abandoned clubhouse when open hostilities were initiated by the Church of the Exalted Wyrm. The Angels' clubhouse, rechristened by the gang as the Headlight Hall, is situated in the heart of a humble mining town founded within an small quarry generations prior.
Notes
"Tombstone" Tyber Valencor
Leader
Lore
The Angels' very own Road Captain “Tombstone” Tyber Valencor had once been the heir apparent in his family's lineage before deciding noble rule was not the life for him. Tyber formally ceded his claims to his younger brother and left his estate to command the Iron Angels. Suppressing his lingering bitterness at his family's destruction, Tyber now puts all of his focus on leading his new family to whatever passes for prosperity in the underhive. Tyber is rarely the type of man to shoot first, but the first shot from any foe has never once taken him down either. Tyber always stands up again, and his moniker "Tombstone" has been earned in two ways; dodging his, and digging theirs.

Out of Action Tally: V V V IIII
Brickhouse
Champion
Lore
Tyber’s oldest friend among the Angels and easily the burliest member of the gang, Brickhouse is just as capable of cracking skulls as he is stone. His steely gaze does as much work to keep the gunners and greenhorns in line as the Road Captain himself.
Notes
Leadeye
Champion
Lore
Hired in the endgame of the war for Dread Burrow to provide some heavy firepower against the increasingly savage rival gangs, Road Sergeant Leadeye brings an infectious enthusiasm for battle to the Iron Angels' gangers. He's got himself a really big gun and holding down the trigger always brings a wide smile to his face.
Notes
Riot
Champion
Lore
A representative of House Orlock sent to ensure their new employees fell in line. A veteran of many battles, initial distrust turned to grudging respect among his new cohorts as he demonstrated his artistry with the combat shotgun and propensity to use it to raise hell for the gang’s enemies.
Notes
Falco
Prospect
Lore
Styling himself as a cocky gunslinger with a jetpack steed, Falco is more than happy to fly headfirst into danger with twin guns blazing.
Notes
OoA Tally: III
Crash
Specialist
Lore
Joined the Angels alongside Road Sergeant Riot, bringing with him his trusty grenade launcher. Crash enthusiastically employs it at range to cover the sergeant while he moves in close.
Notes
Ripper
Ganger
Lore
A late addition to the gang following the reputation of honor and determination they’d earned for themselves, Ripper is keen to bring the Orlock brand of justice to Dread Burrow even at the cost of his own health and safety.
Notes
OoA Tally: I
Ruckus
Ganger
Lore
Something of an old wise guy, Ruckus is a favorite among the Angels during nights at the bar for his comedic routines.
Notes
OoA Tally: I
Buzz
Juve
Lore
The first inductee into the Angels since their acquisition by House Orlock, Buzz takes a cautious approach to proving himself. Glory means nothing to him if he gets his head blown off achieving it.
Notes
Damus “Rain Man” Marlocke
Hanger-on
Lore
A conniving and opportunistic merchant of premium ammuntion, Damus Marlocke has decided to hitch his wagon to the road warriors of the Iron Angels for one reason only. Not for honor, not for justice, and certainly not for sentimentality; such trivialities mean little to the Rain Man of Dread Burrow. No, Marlocke has sided with the Orlock gangers solely to ride the coattails of their soaring reputation among the people, hoping to coast along with them out of this dingy underhive some day soon.
Notes
Hoss Gunsmoke
Hanger-on
Lore
Hoss Gunsmoke had no prior connection to House Valencor and so has no strong feelings about Tombstone Tyber's gang one way or the other. He does have a long history of servicing the weaponry of House Orlock's many gangs, however, and the Iron Angels have shown just enough promise to pique his interest for the moment. For now he keeps mostly to himself but does occasionally allow himself to listen to Ruckus' insane, rambling stories with the barest hint of a smirk.
Notes
OoA Tally: I
Lukyan "The Luck Truck" Kudrov
Hanger-on
Lore
Of short stature and thick build, Lukyan Kudrov made a career fist-fighting at the Fortune's Pendulum gambling den. There he earned his nickname by hitting like a truck and bringing more fortune than misfortune to those who bet on him to win. Lukyan is a man who speaks rarely but loudly, oozing the borderline-arrogant confidence a prize fighter requires to be successful in the ring. His fame grew to new heights as stories of him defeating a mutant monstrosity in unarmed combat began to spread and grow more exaggerated with each telling.
Notes
Mr. Russ
Brute
Lore
Named after the ubiquitous Astra Militarum armored vehicle, Mr. Russ is truly a scaled-down tank in the underhive. Tombstone Tyber managed to track down House Valencor's former chief of security; the man who had failed so spectacularly to defend his House. As punishment for his failure, Tyber turned him into a servitorized, treaded gun platform so that he might find redemption in mindless service of the Iron Angels.
Notes
OoA Tally: V II
Harley
Prospect
Lore
Perhaps the most vicious of the Angels, Harley employs her jump pack to assault her foes from their most vulnerable angles. She hopes to build a bloody reputation for herself to one day earn the rank of Arms Master. Always taking extreme risk to get in close, Harley suffered several debilitating injuries over the gang war. A fatal shot from a mutant’s lasgun proved to be the final straw, her heart unable to cope with the unending strain she endured and beating its last on the operating table.
Notes
OoA Tally: III
Rattler
Ganger
Lore
Mundane yet dependable, Rattler doesn’t try to stand out; he’s there to get the job done and get himself and his gang out alive. While attempting to hold the line against a bombing raid by the Children of the Exalted Wyrm, met his end when the heavy rock saw of a mutant abomination sliced his head from his shoulders.
Notes
Silver
Ganger
Lore
A new hire from House Orlock who chose to make her way down to Dread Burrow hoping to join in on the Iron Angels’ early success. A diehard follower of her House dedicated 100% to furthering their goals even in such a gloomy place as this. After nearly securing her gang a victory by destroying several Brotherhood weapons caches, was ambushed by a flying monstrosity and eviscerated. She bled out on the operating table.
