Gorbolga’s name is actually derived from the legendary spear Gáe Bulg or Gáe Bulga wielded by the mythical Irish demigod hero Cú Chulainn. Cú Chulainn was basically a cross between Hercules and the Incredible Hulk and had the ability to get super swole via a battle rage called a warp spasm. His spear whose name meant “spear of mortal pain/death", "gapped/notched spear", or "belly spear", was made from the bone of a sea monster, the Curruid, that had died while fighting another sea monster, the Coinchenn. The spear was magic and had to be made ready for use on a stream and cast from the fork of the toes. It entered a man's body with a single wound, like a javelin, then opened into thirty barbs. Only by cutting away the flesh could it be taken from that man's body.

Its so fuuny to me that we get more lore for Thorian, than Tahlia Vedra, the poster girl of the Cities of Sigmar and the character with a model. We dont even get to see what she is doing in Hammerhal

1st congrats on the GW sponsor, getting stuff/noticed like that from the IP holder is cool. 2nd I like that with both Archaon and Abraxia where both know and understand you can't win it all and can prove that just killing your followers shouldn't be the first option.

Is that almost exactly the battle of Pelennor Fields or am I crazy?

I am looking foward reading the book, I'm loving the campaign and I was looking foward the return of Belthanos, I supected it in one of the short stories in Warhammer community where It was told "a great prey awaits North" One question in the book are there detailed maps of the areas of the two new cities?
