Have you ever fallen into such a deep and consuming sleep that an entire kingdom collapsed around you, and an altar of arcane power was embedded onto your back purely by accident?
Turns out that’s what happened to Trugg, the Troggoth King, one of the largest and most irate troggoths the Mortal Realms have ever seen. But now he’s awake, and he’s smashing stuff up like none before him.
Stirred into a state of semi-consciousness by Alarielle’s Rite of Life, Trugg was finally roused by the rambunctious caterwauling and clanging of the Rabble-Rowza Braggit Big-Talka. The arcane engine on his back sprung into action after he tried to dislodge it by smashing against a cave roof, and since then he’s been affected by the mother of all magical migraines.*
The altar’s magical powers are actually subtly influencing him, and he is being drawn inexorably along the magical ley lines that underpin the Mortal Realms, though to what end no-one knows. Trugg is only concerned with stopping this awful headache, smashing anything magical that he finds along his way.
Following this ornery behemoth are a huge horde of Troggoths: Fellwater, Rockgut, and Dankhold. He is only dimly aware of the hollering hordes that trail behind him, but Braggit has elevated this living wrecking ball to the status of a king with his tales.
You can find out all about Trugg the Troggoth King and his rampage through the Mortal Realms in the next instalment of the ongoing Age of Sigmar campaign series, Dawnbringers: Book II – Reign of the Brute, which continues the story of the Twin-Tailed Crusade as they wind their way forth through Aqsha and Ghyran.
Both are beset by brutish challenges in the form of Trugg and his entourage, a great stomp lead by King Brodd, and a Waaagh! spearheaded by pugnacious greenskins seen riding wild hogs of prodigious girth.
This book will also contain all the rules you need to support these three particular factions with Matched Play Armies of Renown, as well as an Army of Renown for the Kharadron Overlords themed around the Grundstok Expeditionary Force – a hard-hitting force of mercenaries who often work with other Order forces.
