A Warhammer 40,000 Anthology Da Red Gobbo – a name synonymous with seizing liberty from the iron fist of ork oppression, and one that inspires revolt and stokes the fires of rebellion in grot bellies. READ IT BECAUSE Join the Revolushun with this collection of short stories and novellas covering the exploits and escapades of the diminutive, yet powerfully enigmatic, grot-icon that is Da Red Gobbo. THE STORY Follow a collection of grots from across the galaxy that take up the mantle of Da Red Gobbo. With the legendary cape, can they overcome humans, followers of the Dark Gods, and orks to claim the loot and show everyone you should never underestimate a grot? In Da Gobbo's Revenge, a lowly Mek's assistant finds the opportunity to rise against his harsh treatment and become a hero of legend. Da Gobbo's Demise shows us that not every grot agrees with Da Red Gobbo's plans, and uncovers just how far some will go out of a twisted form of ambition. Redsnot’s early adventures feature in Da Wrong Type of Green as his band of grots seek refuge from a Chaos uprising in a ruined building. Can Redsnot take the opportunity to prove he’s Killaskun’s least-worst grot in this prologue to Da Gobbo's Demise? In Da Gobbo Rides Again, ork painboy Stimma hatches a wild plan to inspire demoralised grots, and gets more than he bargained for in the mix. We join Stimma early in his career in The Instigator. As the ork investigates a space hulk, he's in for a surprise when he finds Da Red Gobbo’s house of horrors.
