They still deserve the fearsome reputation that Grom carved out for them.īroken Axe generally plays like the other Greenskins factions but with a larger focus on gobboz, chariots and pump wagons.īroken Axe uses the Greenskin roster. Grom's name lives on through the tribe's war songs, as do his tactics, making full use of war machines, cavalry and massed Goblin infantry. This led the Waaagh! to the shores of Ulthuan and its eventual defeat before the walls of Tor Yvresse. Some time around 2410 IC Grom led his horde over the Black Fire Pass, defeated the Dwarfs at the Battle of the Iron Gate, invaded the Empire and eventually built a ramshackle fleet. For some years, the Broken Axe tribe wandered west and north, conquering the Orc and Goblin tribes of the southern Worlds Edge Mountains and the Badlands. Within ten years he had conquered the other tribes along the Mad Dog Pass and subjugated the Night Goblin tribes that lived around and under Thunder Mountain. After weeks of fevered indigestion and almost terminal flatulence, Grom's stomach managed to digest the Troll flesh as fast as it regrew, making him grow quickly in size and power. Some time around 2400 IC a Goblin named Grom engaged in a now infamous eating contest, ingesting a plate of raw Troll steaks. The Broken Axe tribe is a clan of Goblins that live at the eastern side of the Worlds Edge Mountains occupying one of the countless tumble-down fortresses that line the craggy and tunnel strewn passes.
