Grom is known for his thunderous warcry that strikes fear into the hearts of even the most stalwart of enemies, "GET IN MAH BELLEH"

[@chrislowe1065]

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.

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.

[@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!?

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.

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?

[@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.

[@barbiquearea]

Looks like the Warhammer gods decided to reincarnate Dong Zhou and make him a goblin.

[@Spaaardaaa]

I'm here to look at Grom's low-hanging fruit

[@aname848]

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

[@Karhall]

...Isn't he a male Dragon Ogre. Not the milk you want.

[@gourmand3]

This is my favorite dlc so far. Anything food themed always gets me

[@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]

@@darthplagueis13 no I meant the heavy ammo for the goblin archers that gives them the ap damage.

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?!

[@AurioDK]

@@slaaneshshewhothirst9136 Yup, correct. It was the very same Neferata she held hands with when doom came knocking and death seemed inevitable (End Times). CA has even received snakes in boxes from very unhappy Khalida fans due to her untimely demise, they wanted the Serpent Queen to live forever. I .. well ... it´s the End Times, all good stories come to an end.

[@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.

I try to use vanilla assets for these, But if I do I make sure to note them in the description. For video capture I use Matthew's reshade preset, And then tweak the color slightly in post. Which is probably what you're seeing combined with alternative lighting overhaul

[@marthlink5015]

It's hilarious that even before the showdown Elthorion always order tides right to wherever grom is due to groms default negative standing with high elves so usually they all declare war on him and sail for you as they hate grom more than even the dark elves. To counter the order tide i usually take Eltharions city before the event and then... it glitches out and I can never get it- His mortals campaign is a tough start. Even norsca will try to contest you if you wipe out brit or the empire the elves will still sail for ya and now you have annoying dwarves everywhere- with vampires- Enjoy.

[@tobiashagstrom4168]

"awkwardly placed nipple piercings" I think that by definition there are only 2 places nipple piercings can be placed at. Right nipple or left nipple, which one of those is the "awkward placement"? If it's some other place, it ain't a nipple piercing, it's some other kind of piercing. Maybe more if you're a skaven or something. None if you are a a lizardman. Come to think of it, greenskins shouldn't have any nipples either, they're fungi, yet Grom's model kind of looks like it does have nips, but on the DLC artwork it looks like he doesn't.

[@codybonds]

I blame games workshop. In earlier versions Greenskins did have nipples as they reproduced in ways accepted by biology. Yeah I'm not sure what you would call belly piercings. An extended Jacob's ladder I suppose.
