Playstyle

The Orcs of the Bloody Handz tribe seek the greatness Wurrzag ‘Da Great Green Prophet’ can bring them, having wandered into the Dragonback Mountains in search of more than just plunder. Wurrzag desires this for all his kind, inevitably bringing his force into conflict with other Greenskins, bands of humies, stunties, and whatever-else dares get in their way.
