Playing a campaign as Grimgor now in WHIII. I started in the far north of the mountains, in Ogre Country. To the west, was order, Kislev, The Empire, the Dwarfs, and everyone else, already under threat by Chaos and the Undead. Easy pickings. To the East, the Chaos Wastes, the forces of disorder and destruction, daemons and monsters beyond counting, a hard, and unrelenting campaign. And on that day... Grimgor decided, that maybe he didn't want to be the bad guy anymore...

Always felt like a wasted opportunity. "We bred these super special orcs, they're more disciplined and smarter." Who's their leader? Just the biggest specimen and the meanest, exactly who a regular warboss of any tribe would be. What do they want? Fight and kill everything... like regular orcs. What clever strategies have their greater minds made them infamous for? Uh... we wuz... uh.. brute force frontal assault, get stuck in and fight harder until we win, bet no orc's ever thought of that before.

@@bonefetcherbrimley7740 Its even better when you keep in mind they didn't want this to happen, the only reason it made it into the lore was because Chaos lost the 'Storm of Choas' player driven event and the Orcs won.
