Kralt Gemeye

Kralt Gemeye

Known Facts: A Warlock Bombardier who commands a ragged band of survivors from a Ulgu-related disaster he refuses to talk about; their numbers are mostly composed of engineer acolytes, but a trio of stormfiends, a doomwheel. and a few weapon teams all remain functional. His soldiers wield bizarre firearms of unknown origin that use Warpstone as a power source, but he has started fuelling them with Aetherquartz out of necessity, a decision that has altered their behaviour into becoming more orderly and secretive. 

Description: A leanly muscled, twitchy rat, never seen without a suit of enchanted armour and a pair of homemade thermal vision goggles. By Skaven standards he is relatively young, on the cusp of middle age, and his face and hands are heavy with burn scars. His above average height and black fur mark him as being descended from Stormvermin stock, but his aptitude for repairing circuitry and manipulative streak lead him to join the engineers instead. 

Personality: Curious, boastful, and good at improvising, with a cautious streak that leads him to double check each stage of a plan for weaknesses before commiting. Has a habit of both encouraging and taunting his apprentices to improve their skills, while playing them against each other to keep them from overthrowing him. He is surprisingly open-minded for a Skaven, caring little for who funds his research. Elf-thing, Ghost-thing, Ogre-thing, he’ll work for anyone who can afford his services. 

Current Status: He is currently based in an abandoned black fortress of unknown origin in the Neonwood Wetlands in Ulgu, where his forces regularly skirmish for resources against the local Unmade and Coalesced, but the recent arrival of a Dawnbringer Crusade threatens to upset the balance of power. 

His main source of income is mercenary work, hiring his clan out as scouts or a security force to the highest bidder. He seeks to maintain whatever alliances he can find, and refuses to break a contract unless his life is threatened.

Olrog Iron’ead

Olrog was a mercenary who was surprisingly cunning and intelligent for an Orruck. He earned the title Iron’ead by his tendency to head butt rivals into submission. During his early years he recruited his lieutenant Bolg to his cause. Bolg has remained with Olrog throughout his many campaigns, serving him faithfully and acting on his behalf when needed.

Olrog became the Prophet of the Waaagh by sacrificing an Aelf Mage following the Realm Hoppers crisis. But Olrog knew he was destined for more power.

Lord Dracothfoote

Lord Dracothfoote’s origins are shrouded in mystery. Some say that he is the classic rags to riches story, others that he is the son of a rich and powerful merchant banker that has been exiled from the family for some heinous crime. Those that question Dracothfoote about it are met with a stoney silence and soon find that lady luck turns against them and their fortunes wain

A Time to Krump, a Time to Dig

“Dig”. That had been the only glyph written on the stone Dethmuttera had sent in reply to Snagruk’s question about what to do with the amber blood. He had flung the stone right back at the ardboy that brought it to him. He had cursed the shaman, and Urgoth for telling...

Escape from da Factory

Troggoths live a simple life. They sleep, wonder in their caves, consume mushrooms and then go back to sleep. Sometimes they are herded by grots to do a bit of destruction, but overall they live secluded lives. Such was the life of Dunn the Dankhold Troggoth and the...
