The history of the Ulkriderz begins with The Lost Waaagh! in 978.M41. When Warlord Grizgutz killed his doppelganger the confusion may have derailed his Waaagh! but some of the ladz felt that the whole concept of travelling throught the Warp was a hoot, and so they decided to take their hulk and go back into the Warp fer anuvver go. This time they wound up far, far away from the Morloq system.
The orks have dubbed their hulk "Da Warpwagon". Da Warpwagon is an enormous, confusing mess of space debris. Some of the Ulkriderz have taken it upon themselves to rebuild the hulk into a moon-sized Gargant with which to pummel everything in the warp once and for all. The others feel plans like that are a result of staying outside too long in the Warp, and are content with just travelling at random through the warp and fighting whatever they come across.
One of the key features of Da Warpwagon is Da Fing Downstairz or just Da Fing. Da Fing is a large amorphous blob of some tar-like substance that lives in a large cargo hold. It's apparently alive and can move by changing shape, usually to grab whatever comes near it with a hastily formed pseudopod. It's got a number of eyes that float around on its surface to observe the goings on around it.
The orks think Da Fing is extremely fun for example to play "toss da grot" with, a game where the orks toss a grot for Da Fing to catch and absorb. This is, of course, hilarious. For the orks.
