Villains of the Hinterlands, Part 1

Badruk Eadsplitta's Runt Waaagh

"It has become increasingly rare to encounter those specimens of orruks reported of in the chronicles of the Age of Myth, the Greenskinz.
Nonetheless, they are occasionally spotted in those remote corners of the Realms spared the worst of war. Perhaps is this lack of extreme conflict that prevents those Orruks from growing stronger or from being deeply touched by Gorkamorka. Besides their smaller size and comparably saner behaviour, or perhaps because of them, Greenskinz also appear to be more tollerant towards grots. It is thus not uncommon for such tribes to comprise both orruks and grots on a regular basis, rather than as an alliance spurred by the common thirst for violence.
When these Runtz, as the other orruks call them, are found by the roaming remnants of defeated Great Waaaghs, it takes very little to start them on the path of the Waaagh. These Runt Waaaghs are generally brief, but as always when orruks are involved, violent affairs. If they are not quickly stopped by determined opponents, the continuos conflicts pursued by their new leaders strengthen or madden the Greenskinz. By the time they emerge from the hinterlands, the grots have been weeded out and a new Ironjaw or Bonesplitter tribe is ready to join the nearest Great Waaagh.
One such Runt Waaagh was formed shortly after the Season of War in Ghyran. Following the horrific siege of Greywater Fastness, Ardboy Boss Badruk and his mob roamed far and wide until they stumbled upon an alliance of Greenskinz and Moonclan Grots. Badruk immediately issued a challenge to any and all bosses, orruk and grot alike. In quick succession he beheaded three orruks, but did not keep count of the grot bosses. Or perhaps they were more than five and he lost count.
As the heads were piling up, the tribe Great Shaman, Worgutz Deffskull, stepped forward, hailing Badruk as the Eadsplitta and their new Warboss. A high pitched scream of indignation came from Loonboss Gripe Neckstabba and Madcap Shaman Flug Sourtongue, but that was immediately drowned in the orruk boyz' chanting. A couple of green flashes from Worgutz eyes scorching the ground in front of the grot leaders closed the deal."

I've recently hacked the rules for AoS solo playing published in White Dwarf 458, so that I could use any model as the Adversaries, rather than just the three factions covered in the article. However, I didn't have enough models on round bases to be used as minions. So, I dug out my old Orcs & Goblins and rebased a few of them.

I had already done Badruk and the Ardboyz for Armies on Parade 2019. Since they were a matched play valid unit, I went for minimum sized matched play units for the other models, even if less are needed to play a solo campaign.

Now I have plenty of minions and bosses to play a solo campaign and, whenever it will be possible to go back to real gaming, a 1500 points army.

Since I was at it, I've also calculated how many more points I can get by rebasing the rest of the army. That will be another 1500 points allowing me to deploy either 1000 points of Gloomspite Gitz, 2000 points of Greenskinz or the whole lot as Grand Alliance Destruction army.

Anyway, that rebasing won't be done for a while. Now it is time to get some gaming done!
