The Era of the Beast has been good to the Orruk Warclans. Kragnos has led a mighty Waaagh! across all of Ghur, the thundering beat of his hooves a rallying call for the forces of Destruction. Between stampeding monsters and maddened mortals, the Great Stomp is offering unlimited opportunities for a good scrap.
The primal resonance of the Realm of Beasts is even delivering new ways for the Ironjawz to trample their foes flat. Did anyone order ribs?
The mighty Maw-grunta is a big pig like no other. Dwarfing the Gore-gruntas that the Ironjawz love for their orruk-bearing strength and blind porcine fury, these hulking beasts are a true force of nature. A single Maw-grunta can smash through massed infantry like a like a boar in a china shop, paving the way for a brutal Ardboys charge.*
Covered in the trademark fist-forged armour plates of the Ironjawz, topped with a saddle made of bones, tusks tipped with choppas – these giant hogs are living battering rams with tempers as foul as the nastiest orruk.
Adding insult to (massive) injury, the Maw-grunta is big enough to have two orruks riding side-saddle, equipped with massive hooked blades for lopping the ’eads off anyone who thinks dodging to the side of this avalanche of fur and iron will keep them safe.**
These colossal war-boars will make their trotter-shaped mark on the new Warhammer Age of Sigmar campaign series Dawnbringers, which follows the Twin-Tailed Crusade as it sets out from Hammerhal to claim lands back in Aqshy and Ghyran.
Keep an eye on Warhammer Community for more signs of Destruction in the future, and head on over to the Warhammer Fest Hub to see the rest of the weekend’s reveals.
* If orruks wrote poetry, they’d write volumes on their love of creatures that trample.
** Unusually kunnin’ for an Ironjaw.
