The Slayer King of Karak Kadrin
Ungrim leads Karak Kadrin, the Slayer hold. His identity makes him a natural choice for a Slayer-led army: he is a powerful close-combat lord with a history of confronting monsters. The king's duty to protect his people sits uneasily alongside his Slayer oath.
Karak Kadrin also uses the Dwarfs' shared campaign systems. Plan wars around grudges, and balance new conquests against developing your existing holds through the Deeps. A Slayer theme gives your army a focus; settlement defence and recruitment still need funding.
Choose a target for Ungrim
Use Ungrim against dangerous large enemies when the approach is safe. Support him with troops that keep other opponents occupied. Chasing a monster across the battlefield can pull him away from the army and expose him to concentrated shooting.
Slayers add an aggressive element to a Dwarf formation. Dwarf Warriors give the army a holding line, and Irondrakes can attack infantry from a clear firing position. Keep their flames away from the friendly troops already surrounding Ungrim's target.
Garagrim and the Slayer hold
Garagrim Ironfist is Ungrim's son and a separate Legendary Hero from Malakai – Thrones of Decay. He joins an existing army through his recruitment mission. Owning Ungrim through the first game and owning Garagrim's content are separate unlocks.
Slayer King of Karak Kadrin
Ungrim comes with Thorgrim in Total War: Warhammer. The 2022 list starts him at Karak Kadrin. Kingship and the Slayer vow sit on the same line. In The Old World's earlier period he has the Slayer Crown and the Axe of Dargo, and not yet the Dragon Cloak.
Garagrim Ironfist, his son, is the legendary hero in Malakai's pack. The Slayer throng is Ungrim's campaign. The engineering adventures are Malakai's.
