Instead, we look at the frankly terrifying units available to

Guided as they were by the Ancestor Gods Grungni, Valaya, Grimnir, and their incestuous offspring the culture was formed and then BOOM! The Polar Gates collapsed and chaos washed over the land. Suddenly there are elves, mohawks and mysteries

DWARFS! DWARFS! DWARFS! In this our first look at the glorious Dwarven race we take a look at what makes a Dwarf so great… Their age! (Dhar approves). We look at the stages of a Dwarf’s life and the role they fill during each phase. We follow this up with an examination of their clan structure, and their guilds, including the mighty runesmiths, before examining the types of Dwarf out there and what happens when they break one of their three laws.

Skarsnik rose to power within the crooked Moon tribe through savvy leadership and quick dealing with both enemies and allies. Exiled for his mercantile nature he fought his way back to the very heart of Karak Eight Peaks to face a former ally to claim the title of King of Eight Peaks.

Our fourth episode on Greenskins we look at two very different warlords both of whom were influenced by external sources. The legendary brutality of the Greenskins was often used as a weapon by manipulative foes. Azhag the Slaughterer rose to prominence in Kislev after the discovery of a mysterious crown, one that imbued him with magical powers at the expense of invidious directives. Grom the Pauch, the greatest goblin warlord in history brought the empire to its knees before being driven, through

With the judicious use of colossal squigs he brought his neighbouring warlords to heal before wreaking havoc on the dwarves of the Middle and Worlds Edge Mountains. With the Dwarves cowering in their Holds, he fights his way through Blackfire pass before ravaging the empire, and decimating
