Synopsis

A Warhammer Fantasy Battles novella As orc warboss Gorfang Rotgut prepares a final apocalyptic assault on Karak Eight Peaks, King Belegar must swallow his pride and call for help from one dwarf who can break Rotgut's horde: High King Thorgrim Grudgebearer. READ IT BECAUSE It's another chapter in the Karak Eight Peaks saga (see also Headtaker and Skarsnik), that will eventually culminate in the apocalyptic events of the End Times. Also, how often do you get to see a dwarf give birth in the middle of a battle? THE STORY In the ruins of the dwarf hold of Karak Eight Peaks, ancient enemies battle for supremacy. Belegar, king of the dwarfs who call that venerable realm home, is assailed on all sides - the skaven Headtaker, the goblin Skarsnik and the orc Gorfang Rotgut all threaten to take his hard-won glory. As Gorfang prepares to sweep the dwarfs aside in a final apocalyptic assault, Belegar must swallow his pride and call for help from one dwarf who can break Rotgut's horde: High King Thorgrim Grudgebearer.
