Ohhh lots of fun stuff we'll end up forgetting the rules for heh I also have visions of that Giant picking up and stuffing my Vampire down his pants :O

Subedai - in terms of giants, its perhaps not the best time to read about this little spat me and Warlord Paul fought few weeks back.

Have fun both of you!

Sounds like an entertaining scrap you had there!

If a giant ends up doing something useful in a battle it always comes as a surprise to me. Rarely stops me from fitting one in though, gambling is what playing Orcs & Goblins is all about!

Which manufacturer is your giant from? I know it well from the 3rd Edition rulebook, would love to have it for my Orcs & Goblins, since the Marauder Giant is much too civilised (I intend to transfer him to my Imperial Dwarfs eventually).

His Giant is a 54mm Fighting Fan figure

*Mutters something about having to get his Grenadier Undead Giant built and painted*

Yup - Chico's got it. He's a Ferocious Ogre from the Fighting Fantasy 54mm range.

Quite right too!

That Undead Giant is a bit tasty too

Knowing Chico, all this talk of 54mm 'giants' is a smokescreen for something to do with willies!

Damnit, another miniature range to collect is the last thing I need right now. But once seen, they can't be unseen...

The story of Kanbok's Kingdom Krusherz so far:

Kanbok Goresmasher has led his tribe of the Greedy Maw from the lands east of the Mountains of Mourn in search of new conquests. Whether he has fallen out with Hobgobla Khan or is even still in his service, nobody can say for sure. Fact is that Kanbok seems like an Orc on a mission, whose ambition is to carve out an empire in the lands of the west, where plunder is said to be plentiful and the enemies weak.

For several years the Greedy Maw battled their way across the Dark Lands, hiring out their services in exchange for the best in weapons and war machines, many of which built by the Chaos Dwarfs.

When approaching the northern World's Edge Mountains they encountered the Leerin' Moon Goblins who were controlling access to one of the few passes into the Old World and had grown rich on levies.

Kanbok demanded the Goblins submit to his rule or he would batter their fortress down with his war machines. The Goblins agreed to a parley and invited Kanbok to a banquet in his honour. His experience in the lands of the Hobgoblins had made Kanbok wary of trickery, and so he brought along his Trolls as food tasters. When one of the duo turned from green to blue after tasting the squig stew be had been served, Kanbok declared negotiations over and helped himself to a side order of Goblin King sashimi. The remaining leadership of the Leerin' Moon tribe quickly accepted his terms of unconditional surrender.

As the first snow began to settle on the eastern foothills of the World's Edge Mountains, Kanbok led his army across the pass and into the north of the Old World, expecting to catch the weakling fiefdoms of the humans off guard.

Once his army reached the western side of the mountains, they encountered hunters from the rag-tag Orc tribe of the Split Tongue. A bloody skirmish ensued and the Greedy Maw emerged victorious. Back in the camp of the Split Tongue, their Shaman Zogdrek divined from the entrails of their slain Warlord that the gods favoured an alliance with the new arrivals.

With a foothold established in the Old World, Kanbok immediately set sight on subduing the surrounding kingdoms of men. Zogdrek advised him that the closest was ruled over by a sickly looking human called the Rotten Prince, whose army would be a push-over, consisting of nothing but skin and bones, and sometimes not even that. With these lands added to his new realm, Kanbok would soon be set to fulfil his mission.

Love your back story, well done

The Ropsmenn, the fall from grace.

The Vampire now known simply as the Rotten Prince, the fallen son of Kislev pondered how he had fallen so low. Once he rode at the head of a mighty Warhost, Destroyer of Chaos and beloved of the Ice Queen.

Bitter, corrupted and twisted by the Blood Kiss received hundreds of years before by a Black Clad Knight bearing the symbol of the Red Dragon. The Rotten Prince now seeks not only his revenge on that Black Clad Knight but also on all the living, those that feel the warmth of the sun.

Now his former kinsmen The Ropsmenn serve him in death as well as they did in life. His Demi-Boyar the Wight known as Sir Boney the Black leads what's left of his once proud Winged Lancers. Hardy Kossars now nothing but rag and bone still retain there missile weapons and at his whim Catapults made from bones has been constructed.

Only one thing stands in his way of marching on the Old World, a foul tribe of Greenskins known as Kanbok's Kingdom Krusherz led by the infamous Kanbok Goresmasher. Soon he shall feed on Greenskin flesh and it'll taste like victory.

Nice, I like the gothic tragedy!

So the scene is set, I'm looking forward to discovering how the stories of our protagonists develop from here...

Aye should be a good one, win/lose/draw I'd be happy so long as that Giant doesn't stuff my Vampire down his pants.. Hmm actually come to think about it that would be very funny, a melancholic Vampire meeting his end in such a fashion lol
