To answer the question "What stops Grimgor?"... Boredom. Boredom has saved more people from Grimgor than anything else. As seen in the fight with Clan Moulder, Grimgor will eventually either lose satisfaction with the fight, or feel like he has gotten the most from it he can. He's kind of notorious for just leaving in the middle of a WAAAGH, and it falls apart without him because he's just no longer interested. Grimgor is not just looking for combat, he wants more than just to fight. He is actually very Slayed-coded in that his dream is to find something that can actually kill him, as that will be the best fight. And the result is he just gets tired of fighting weaker foes, and so goes off in search of a better fight.

[@sev1120]

And because Orcs get bigger and stronger with every fight, Black Orcs especially, there's not much that can take down Grimgor He's as big as a troll, and about twice as deadly

To give context to just how bad winters in Kislev are, the Warriors of Chaos tend to march through Kislev on their way to fight the empire. Most of their armies will just die from the cold and be at a fraction of their strength by the time they make it past Kislev. And as a reminder, the Warriors of Chaos tend to march SOUTH out of the Chaos Wastes near the North Pole, down through Norsca, and then hit Kislev. Now granted they're also FIGHTING the people of Kislev on their way through, and the Ice Witches tend to make things as uncomfortable as possible for the Warriors of Chaos, but it really says a lot that they're dying of exposure while marching SOUTH towards the warmer parts of the world. In short? Kislev is *COLDER THAN HELL.* And yet people somehow manage to live there, where the only season that isn't Super Winter is just regular Winter.

[@jefrosiers8880]

quick note on the lore, we can thank the chaos dwarfs for the existence of orc blacksmiths, they taught some of their orc "laborers" to do it, and after the revolution, guess where that lot went to? Had sigmar and the dwarfs not held the line at Blackfire pass all of lands beyond the mountains would've fallen

[@screamingcactus1753]

It's not just that they taught orcs how to smith, they made an entirely new breed of orc in the black orcs. The black orcs were more patient and disciplined than their paler skinned cousins, which the Chaos Dwarfs thought would make them better slaves. It turns out that, while they were more disciplined, they were NOT more obedient, and so they used their patience and discipline to organize a revolt under the noses of their masters. It failed thanks to a last minute betrayal by the hobgoblins, but a bunch of black orcs managed to escape regardless and integrate their strain into the wider orc population. It's these black orcs that are capable of smithing thanks to the unique traits given to them by the Chaos Dwarfs.

[@sev1120]

​@@screamingcactus1753not only more patient and disciplined, just straight-up smarter than regular orcs too. Black Orcs can make fairly complex battle strategies and follow them through. The only normal Orc to use complex strategy is Gorbad Ironclaw, who's Orc Sun Tzu

[@jefrosiers8880]

One of the scariest things about Grom is the fact that since he was from a wolfrider tribe he wasn't a siegeloving guy, this made his WAAAAAGH atypical since orc led waaaaaghs will often try to besiege a place and fall to infighting, Grom however being a goblin didn't have the patience for this and he just moved on, he didn't do sieges, some parts of his waaaagh still split of and did sieges but Grom would not keep up a siege. This meant that grom's waaaaagh would last DECADES! he was genuinely one of the most succesful warbosses ever, the empire due to Dieter not even warning the elector counts or summonning the armies, got steamrolled, they weren't ready to split up the horde (which you have to do if you don't want to get overrun when fighting a WAAAAgh!) another factor was that the high king, enraged by dieters refusal to help his people make a stand against the greenskins forbade all kings from aiding the empire until dieter was dead, the priesthood of sigmar, who see the dwarfs as important in their religion were furious at the emperor. Grom's WAAAAAGH! also killed of the largest population of Gnomes left in the old world and in his wake he also left multiple goblin tribes which still plague the empire to this day

[@phylippezimmermannpaquin2062]

Theres gnomes??

[@jefrosiers8880]

@@phylippezimmermannpaquin2062 there were until grom showed up (is the joking answer) the truth is that Gnomes were in warhammer in the first editions, then vanished, they were never fully retconned but almost never mentioned, then in later editions a writer Andy Law found out there was a gnome in a warhammer fantasy roleplay adventure they were making and asked GW whether they should say it was a halfling or whether they should flesh out what gnomes were, GW chose the last option and so Andy Law began writing. When, he rewrote their lore he wanted to include a reason for why gnomes didn't seem to feature prominently in the army books and lore, he chose as the reasons two things that arrived in the same edition that "wiped out" the gnomes, the high elves and grom the paunch. Gnomes were pictured as having a tradition of magic focussed on illusion and on dark magic (which is inherently corruptive), he wrote in the lore that when Teclis the elven wizard established the colleges of magic and its laws gnomes and their magic became distrusted, and that Grom the Paunch durinf his grand tour of the old world destroyed their largest stronghold

[@roele699]

Probably the thing I like most about Fantasy Greenskins is that both Orcs AND Goblins get to share the spotlight. Specifically, I love the bigger presence Goblins have in greenskin society and warfare. They're definitely still weaker to Orcs but can play to their smarter/manipulative ways enough for them to elevate themselves into becoming powerful Shamans and Warbosses in their own right (imagine that, a puny Goblin bossin' Orcs around). In this setting, its the Goblins that perfectly represent Mork's cunningly brutal side of the coin. You can have entire tribes comprised solely of Goblins and have them still be an actual, legit threat and thats sick! It just makes me sad for their 40k counterparts, the Grots/Gretchin and how much of a backseat they've taken there. Like aside from the one example of Da Red Gobbo and his Grot Rebellion, they've lost a lot of their independence and exist only to be servants to Orks.

[@mamamiazakaria7481]

Snaggi Littletoof from the Warboss and Big Dakka books has real potential to become a significant Grotboss if handled well, it would be awesome if something happened with him but knowing 40k lore I doubt cool things are even allowed to happen. Da Red Gobbo is kind of just a christmas mascot now its really depressing for Gobbo fans.

[@gokbay3057]

Yeah, Goblins being a full equal (well, perhaps not completely equal) part of the setting rather than just set dressing for the Or(c/k)s definitly is an advantage Fantasy has over 40K.

[@klaykid117]

It's real sad that grots are essentially just ork servo skulls

[@GearShotgun]

I've found that Fantasy as a whole is far more nuanced and better written than 40k. Each faction has a lot more depth, and while they may not all be as active in the world, you dont have one completely overshadowing the others like the Imperium and Space Marines do in 40k.

And that’s what they tried doing to him…. Except he didn’t burst, and the troll meat literally gave paunch the healing factor of a troll… so all that troll meat that is growing in him grew his size… I believe it’s passed since then, but he still keeps eating.

[@gokbay3057]

I mean, Fantasy also has a bunch of really cool Orc characters and badass units like Black Orcs and Boar Riders. Orcs in Fantasy are definitly better off than Gretchin/Grots in 40K.

[@Brutalyte616]

For anyone wondering why the Slayers didn't just throw themselves at Grimgor, part of the Slayer Oath is that they must sell their lives as dearly as possible and NOT do so at the expense of another dwarf's life or honor. So, if the Slayer's can just turtle up behind the wall and wait until Grimgor leaves, they have to do that, otherwise they would not be dying a worthy death in combat, they'd just be committing suicide by Orc, and their death wouldn't absolve them of their dishonor, so their spirits would be stuck in limbo and forever denied entry into the afterlife until the day one of their surviving relatives takes the Slayer Oath on their behalf to absolve them of their dishonor. Now if the king or acting commander tells the Slayers he NEEDS them to go out and try and thin the Orc numbers in a counterattack, that's a different story, because they're just following orders, but issuing this order without proper justification or against the counsel of any advisors may be considered dishonorable, so a king or commander will very rarely tell the Slayers to go fight and die outside of a rearguard action where the Slayers are honor bound to hold the enemy at bay for as long as possible.

[@sandythethird2292]

One of the reasons everyone in the wh fantasy community hates the end times is that during it over half the world get destroyed by grimgore's waaagh, offscreen...... He does more damage to the world by far than chaos and we don't even get to see it.

[@RougeMephilesClone]

Two things I find especially interesting about Warhammer Fantasy's Greenskins compared to 40K's Orks are that they're a touch more serious because the whole of Fantasy is a touch less, and the Fantasy Goblins get way more love than the 40K Grots. The Grots have some tabletop and lore stuff like the Red Gobbo, but Goblins get major factions. When a Goblin like Skarsnik holds proportionally similar infamy to a major Ork like Ghazghkull, it's safe to say Fantasy's given the little guys their due.

Grimgor was created by the Chaos Dwarfs. He was one of if not the head Orc leading the rebellion that almost brought the Chaos Dwarfs to extinction. Grimgor got his eye torn out by a Chaos Dwarf and he forced them to make his axe. And once completed he christened with their very blood. And there's no level of impressive that is wiping most of Hellpit out. He did something few in the world could on accident and they only lived cause he got bored. If possible I would 100% suggest Pancreusdon'twork or Loremaster of Sotek. Both are fun and incredibly knowlgeable on Warhammer. Pick a topic and you can get a well explained breakdown of it.

For those curious about how Orcs are in Age of Sigmar, it's a bit complicated. For one, they're renamed Orruks (because Copyright). In the jump between Warhammer Fantasy and AoS, there were three factions: the Greenskinz (the main Orcs & Goblins army; don't get attached, they get Legends'd in early 2nd ed), the Ironjawz (expansion of the Black Orcs into a full faction), and the Bonesplittaz (Savage Orcs ported over as-is). Of these, only the Ironjawz survive to the present edition, with the Bonesplittaz being removed as a viable army a few months ago. (Technically, they have interim 4th ed rules, but those are getting sent to Legends summer of next year. RIP.). 3rd ed also saw the introduction of a wholly new "Orruk" faction, in the Kruleboyz. A group of swamp-dwelling, sneaky gitz that break almost completely with the modern Warhammer Orc design language. Looking more like the "realistic" orcs from Tolkien, less cartoony and more like ugly humans. Not everyone liked the aesthetic, leading to the 3rd ed launch box ("Dominion") underselling like mad. You can still find copies of the complete box rattling around on the secondary market for about $100, which is insane for a modern edition launch product. (I picked up the Kruleboyz half of that box for $55 a couple years ago). So the current state of Orcs in AoS is a heavily armored elite faction, and a tactics-heavy tech army. So, Gork and Mork respectively. (For those wanting "Normal" Warhammer Orcs, the old Orcs & Goblins range, minus the Savage Orcs, is back in production with the launch of The Old World. Square-based, as Gorkamorka intended.)

I thought Dk's ork voice was good but he could absolutely kill a goblin va role

tomorrow is gonna be one of the worst days of my life, really happy this video dropped tonight. best part of every week.

[@Macpherson864]

@cyleratcliffe5518 are you doing okay? Just a stranger checking in to see if the storm has passed.

[@residentfacehead3465]

Dueing the end times Grimgor becomes the Elemental Incarnate of Beasts. Which basically means that 1/8th of all magic in the world is going into making Grimgor stronger.

[@capsizemoonz2251]

Fun fact Grom is dead, sadly Urimensity was killed by the high elfs and his body was shoved into an eternal furnace never to regenerate

[@Sara3346]

During the End Times? Because I thought his fate was intentionally ambiguous?

[@capsizemoonz2251]

@Sara3346 nope not end times

[@Sara3346]

@@capsizemoonz2251 From what source then? He's obviously not dead in total war.

[@capsizemoonz2251]

@Sara3346 pancreasnowork hes the fantasy lore guy Also total war aint canon to the actual fantasy timeline as it came after the end times

[@Sara3346]

@@capsizemoonz2251 There are many fantasyv lore guys, i've seen his coverage on grom and Lorebeards goes into way more depth. Only reason I bring up TW is AFAIK it's the closest anyone has come to officially resolving that plotline in any way.

DK’s Orc & now Gobbo voice acting has leveled up so much. So fun to listen to

[@thebaron9405]

blacks orcs often get weird looks from other normal orcs by the mere fact black orcs take care of their gear, sharpenning their blades fixing their armor, the other orcs think they are wasting time like humies do with their gear

[@Duhad8]

Bricky: "Who can actually beat Grimgor?" Archaon the Everchosen of Chaos, Exalted Grand Marshal of the Apocalypse. AKA Fantasy Horus if he won. And even then it was a close fight.

[@petulantpeterturbo]

The idea that Grimgor won a headbutting competition against Mork is 100% more believable when you consider that he nearly killed this universes equivalent of Horus at the point when Horus fought the emperor. He nearly singlehandedly stopped the End Times, but was foiled when Archaon (said Horus parallel) was forced (yes FORCED) to free the demon in his sword. Just to distract Grimgor and give himself a couple seconds to land a decisive blow and kill Grimgor.

[@OctodadUnderstudy]

Imagining how all the Orcs all just rotmaxx without Goblins

[@pierrotnasse]

DK goblin impression is rather funny Also Grom The Gamer must be a thing BLOOPERS

[@novakaizr]

You should check out the total war warhammer quest battle speeches, they are really good, especially Azhag. Just avoid Throgg, his adaption isn't that great. "Rememba, dis is a cursed place, da shamans don't loike it, so don't mess wid stuff ya don't understand. If ya summon someting from da void, ya'll have ta deal wid it yurself" -Azhag

[@Planewalker1999]

You missed a huge talking point when it comes to Grom the Paunch. His shaman lead him to Ulthuan to destroy the magical way stones that basically hold Ulthuan and basically the rest of the world from being destroyed by the magic of chaos. He almost(probably accidentally) destroyed the warhammer world.

[@michaelgomez3664]

DKs greenskin voice is insane Mike Brooks should hit him up next book

[@inductivegrunt94]

Grimgor Ironhide will always be the best Greenskin of them all. He's a Black Orc Warboss, leads his own unit of Black Orcs called "Da Immortalz", is a chosen of Gork and Mork, and decked Archaon so hard by kicking him in the nuts and headbutting him, while Archaon was in full chaos armor and helmet. That is why Grimgor iz da best Orc eva'!

[@jand.4737]

1:13:23 Grom stealing the roof of a Temple in Middenheim, particularly without any other casualties, is very odd considering what Middenheim is. Just imagine a city built atop a mountain, with only 4 heavily guarded bridges from neighbouring mountains leading into the city. How did nobody notice Grom?

[@Wulgreath]

Poster Idea: Orc or Gobbo Weatherman FOE-CAST SEYZ: WE'Z SCREW'D!!!

[@BarokaiRein]

I love it how these episodes usually just end with Bricky realising how 40k really is just Warhammer Fantasy but in space.

[@iamfoo1]

Fun fact about Grimgor in Srorm of Choas (the version of end times that got scrumded from cannon) he kicked Archaon in balls so hard that it saves the world.

[@mathewcooper8505]

Yay! Ty for more Fantasy stuff! I’m gonna listen while I make small stone walls to decorate the bases of my peg knights

[@Zakvadr1995]

Please do Beastmen next! GW never gave them the love they needed to be an actual threat!

[@radish_dash4155]

I was sat here thinking Greenskinz really didn't need a new DLC, then I saw the Mangler and Colossal Squigs and I kicked my feet and giggled

[@MrSlaw3]

I believe that Grimgor just headbutted some big ass mork statue and declared himself winner when statue broke

[@sandythethird2292]

Umm, to be clear, Grom's wagh was not only the reason greenskins got reintroduced into the empire, and also the storm they got hit by was definitely Divine intervention, cause the side of the elf island they landed on is specifically protected by a bunch of massive protective wards and spells to make it impossible to find land.

[@goldjaw]

My name has been Goldjaw in every game ever since middle school when I was making my Savage Orc tribe, the Goldjaws. Warboss Goldjaw had a golden painted jaw that he fully believed could bite through metal, as it was "Da weak 'umie stuff" unlike strong Orc rock.

[@HankScorpio49]

I will never understand, but absolutely love, Bricky's incredulity at Warhammer Fantasy stuff that is the exact same level of silly as 40K lmao

[@digunder14]

Grimgor is the chosen/champion of Gork and Skarsnik is the chosen/champion of Mork

[@jonathanviera1589]

Love the video I can’t wait to see more. But I noticed there are two green skins you forgot to mention, the Gnoblars who are with the Ogre Kingdoms and the Hobgoblins who are divided into two groups. Does who joined the Chaos Dwarfs during the rebellion and betrayed their fellow Greenskins who hold a never ending grudge towards them. As a reward the Chaos Dwarfs kept them as slaves but made them Overseers, so they don’t work instead they get to order around the other slaves. Then you have the Hobgoblin Khanate who are basically the Mongols but with Hobgoblins who ride large wolves instead of horses. Their in the Eastern steppe so the Old World Nations like the Empire, Bretonnia etc they don’t interact with them much but the Nations of the Far East like Cathay, Ind and maybe Nippon have to deal with them. Their much more independent and have their own khans , they also sale their services as mercenaries to the Chaos dwarfs but not as slaves.

40:00 The rat clans are largly summarized as: The rat wizards (Grey Seers, rat wizards, nuff said) The soldier rats (Clan Mors, makes elite shock troops) The rat ninjas (Clan Eschin, assassins and sneaky stuff) The diseased rats (Clan Pestilense, bio warfare and poisons) The rat Frankenstiens (Clan Moulder, specialize in breed monsters and genetic alteration) And the rat mad inventors ( Clan Skryre, high tech and warpstone based technology. Flamethrowers, sharpshooters, gattling guns, bombs, etc) And most of the smaller clans are largely just offshoots of one of these larger clans.
