Factions and leaders
Grimgor's 'Ardboyz
Leader: Grimgor Ironhide.
A Black Orc warboss leads a direct melee army. His Black Orc skills and Scrap option support that infantry focus.
Bonerattlaz
Leader: Azhag the Slaughterer.
Azhag adds the crown's Death magic and the wyvern Skullmuncha to an Orc warboss's battlefield role.
The Bloody Handz
Leader: Wurrzag.
Wurrzag leads a Savage Orc crusade supported by Big Waaagh! magic. Update 6.0 moved his start to the Southlands.
Crooked Moon
Leader: Skarsnik.
Skarsnik leads Goblin armies. Holding Karak Eight Peaks unlocks Orc recruitment buildings throughout his settlements.
Broken Axe
Leader: Grom the Paunch.
Grom combines a chariot lord with a campaign of collecting ingredients and cooking beneficial dishes.
Ironclaw Orcs
Leader: Gorbad Ironclaw.
Gorbad's Da Plan rewards particular unit combinations and challenges, encouraging changes to army composition.
Waaagh! and Scrap
Choose a Greenskin Legendary Lord for an Immortal Empires campaign. Waaagh! lets a faction build toward a major attack and pursue rewards from its chosen target. Pick a target the armies can reach and support, then allow for the return journey and the borders left behind.
Scrap improves units that survive your battles. The update 6.0 system allows multiple upgrades on a unit, with further upgrades becoming more expensive. Decide whether to improve a veteran force or spread the resource between armies before spending it all in one place.
Give each part of the army a job
Orc Boyz provide a direct melee line. Night Goblins favour less direct fights and can work around an engaged enemy. The wider roster adds missiles, mounted troops, artillery and monsters; leave space for those units to move and fire while the infantry fights.
Grimgor is a Black Orc melee leader; Azhag adds Death magic; Wurrzag favours Savage Orcs and Big Waaagh! spells. Skarsnik's recruitment revolves around Karak Eight Peaks, Grom cooks in his Cauldron and Gorbad experiments with Da Plan.
Heroes and content access
Snagla Grobspit is the Legendary Hero from Gorbad's pack. He can join Greenskin campaigns through a mission, bringing spider-riding attacks and tools for trapping enemy characters. Select supporting heroes for the part of the battle the lord cannot handle alone.
Keep games and DLC on the same storefront platform for Immortal Empires content access. A lord pack unlocks its associated choices; it does not unlock every other Greenskin Legendary Lord.
Six Greenskin stories
Grimgor and Azhag come with the first game. Skarsnik is The King and the Warlord, and his Warhammer I line starts at Karak Azgaraz. Grom is The Warden & The Paunch. Gorbad is Omens of Destruction. Wurrzag is free: Update 4 places the Bloody Handz at Ekrund, and Update 6.0 moves him to Cuexotl.
Skarsnik, by Guy Haley, is the novel. The King of Black Crag is the short story in which Gorfang Rotgut is the one who acts. The Rise of the Horned Rat is End Times and stays labeled as that book, separate from an Immortal Empires campaign.
