NOOB'S GUIDE to GROM THE PAUNCH

If you get the Stunty Ale ingredient, it makes Trolls Unbreakable taking away their one major weakness. So Grom does buff Trolls a little.

[@Shinekage]

Considering their low leadership is their only real weakness, it makes them (at least stone trolls) reaally good flanking unit.

[@Sir_Bucket]

It just shapes them into really tanky and smelly flagellants

[@clairelili873]

@@DevixianTheOriginal and it IS! trolls are very good melee combatants, the problem being their leadership is shit. if you get the stone trolls with stunty ale, the enemy il need some archers to deal with them.

[@warhammerguy]

You ever looked at "ugly bastards" in anime, manga or "other" media and thought "I want to be that!" Well Grom let's you do that as he goes on his quest to ravish the beautiful elves (homeland) while eating his fill.

[@khamulthewack4732]

You know I didn't find the centigor milk joke terribly funny at first. But then I started thinking about the centigor's 'O' face randomly throughout the day and each time it got funnier and funnier, until eventually I was just laughing hysterically. My girlfriend would come up and ask me what was so funny and I'd just have to say "nothing" because how the hell am I supposed to explain myself?

[@deni140492deni]

The good part of this expantion is that the Dwarfs no longer are part of the Order Tide, they get wipped by the greenskins before turn 60. but eltharion conquers naggarond while tyrion takes northern lustria brining 2 Helf faction on the order tide... Clan Eshin is also full insane, Fielding 6 armies while holding 3 provinces, WTF IS THAT!?

[@Meh-kl9ep]

Weirdly enough the dwarfs in my campaigns are always getting wiped out by the Empire. Not sure why.

[@Kubulin24]

I would call that a good part only as non-order factions, try play as Empire for example, in moment when you unite the Empire enjoy fighting 10+ stacks of 40 regiments of Orks. Patch made Dwarfs too weak i would say, next DLC should be Dwarf themed to put them on same level as Orks. Its ofcourse bad when Ordertide happens, but Ork or Skaven tide should not be every save you play. I played 4 saves so far, on every one Dwarfs got roft stomped by Grimgor and game as Order faction turned into boring Great Ork war.

[@mr.silver5476]

Lol in my campaign Eltharion conquered the rest of Ulthuan. He litterally B Slapped Tyrion off the face of the earth around turn 30.

[@djawesome3385]

Small detail, Massif Orcal was already on the map, aside from that, great vid cody.

[@stagebound1992]

Yep. Though to Cody's credit, not alot of folks took notice of it anyway unless you were Brettonian. It's literally the ass end of Brittonia. Edit: Well, Brettonian or Beastmen, but only because its yet another thing you destroy as Khazrak One-Eye as you make your way up north.

What makes the centigor milk thing worse is that you only need to defeat a six limbed centaur like creature in battle which in theory means you can milk Kholek

[@thethirdsicily4802]

With enough scrap, you can pretty easily turn even an army of base goblins and goblin archers into one of the deadliest armies in the old world, With AP archers and the scrap upgrade for gobbos that nearly doubles their armor, a Grom goblin army is incredibly stronk in campaign.

[@darthplagueis13]

That one has been fixed. Eagle Talon food no longer increases ap damage but instead gives them anti-infantry ammunition which sadly just means it's now objectively worse than the Harpy Head.

[@thethirdsicily4802]

With all that protein intake, imagine how dangerous Grom would be if he actually exercised

[@KrimzonFlygon1]

The Battle of the Belly i can imagine was somewhat like that first transformation scene in Ghost Rider: Ominous Latin chanting in the background as Grom slowly grows bigger and bigger and his wails and shrieks of anguish turn to bloodcurdling roars. The orcs stop laughing as they realize something has gone horribly wrong. Grom struggles to his feet, looming over the now-terrified orc that fed him the troll meat and effortlessly snapping his neck as the goblins in attendance watch in religious awe.

[@hammermandan8264]

Grom wasn't forced to eat raw troll meat. Someone dared him to do it, so he did it. No idea what made you think otherwise.

[@iniudan]

Because it something that orc enjoy doing to goblin, as they like seeing explosive indigestion it normally cause. Which is probably what got him some wrongful information.

[@millerrepin4452]

Well orcs could have been forcing goblins to eat troll meat and Grom instead of reading the situation as him being forced could have interpreted things as a challenge. There now you and Cody are right.

Still waiting for a "Noob´s guide to Khalida", the perhaps most benevolent leader to have ever graced the universe of Warhammer. Her hatred for the Vampires which ultimately ended in forgiveness coupled with a relentless and at times weird compulsion to fight for the living even expelling her undead allies to accomplish that goal, she gave without wanting in return, very few in Warhammer can be credited with that. In the end as doom approached she did side with Nagash, a sacrifice for a glimmer of hope, it mattered not as history shows.

[@slaaneshshewhothirst9136]

If I remember correctly, she is the cousin of Neferata right? That’s where she got her hatred for the vampire?!

@@slaaneshshewhothirst9136 Yup, correct. It was the very same Neferata she held hands with when doom came knocking and death seemed inevitable (End Times).
