The battle on the river Att, up near Furyoth Dell, devolved into absolute chaos when the continent itself reared up against invader and defender alike. While many, if not most, or the warriors in the area perished, a few managed to cling to life and have washed up beaten and broken within a forest that seeks to eat them alive – literally.
These survivors, need to decide on where to go next. Some will travel to the Furyoth Dell, understanding that the fight seems to be converging in on that area. That said, many have since got wind of a new convergence, either through the use of scouts, because they rode the river downstream further than most, or via simple instinct. The Gaping Portal is yet again being eyed by the various factions of Rondhol as a strategic point of contest.
Although currently held by Da Choppas and their Sylvaneth allies, the gate is far from safe. Many of the Seraphon from the Xarlanth are on the move, and converging on the gate, though to what end no one knows.
Both Blackmaw and Ka-rokk have made it clear to their followers that although they need to make headway into the Dell at some point, loss of this strategic focal point would be unacceptable.
Though radically reduced in numbers by the ravages of Rondhol, the feral forest folk of the Brashbriar Brood are no less ferocious for it. They have dwelled in Ghur since before the Age of Chaos and are well-accustomed to the realm’s violent ways. They still love their homeland, and will fight for it to the bitter end, even if that end should be delivered by the great continent itself, rather than by the enemies they originally set out to oppose.
I’m not great at taking photos, so these took me a while to get right. As it turns out, using Agrax Earthshade for the shading on these dryads was perhaps not the best idea, as it’s made their bark oddly shiny. The glisten on the red around their talons and mouths was intended to be there, though, and I’m quite happy with how that part turned out. The idea is for it to look like fresh blood.
Anyways, this report is going towards helping the Wrathful Land (A.K.A. Da Choppas & Friends) maintain control of The Gaping Portal.
Gatherin’ Da Troops : The Great Weave
Story submitted for “A Portal’s Pull”. In the aftermath of the rage of Ghur at the River Att, Urgoth begins gathering troops to replace his losses and taking them back towards the portal, hoping to meet up with someone when he gets there.
Razgor feels cornered and trapped with enemies at the gates. With no direction or hope, he seemingly gives up. That is until a faithful encounter reminds him of why he fights. He fights for the hunt. He riles up his boyz to face the enemy head on and either win, or die during the glorious hunt.
Reporting for Da Choppas

A branch nymph gathers up some of her sisters in the wake of the stampedes which cost the Waaagh! so many lives. Later, after regrouping at the Gaping Portal, she receives the greenwood scythe which Da Choppas were able to retrieve after the branchwych’s demise.
Briars Drawn Back: The Great Weave
Really loved the way you wrote this, really cool story
The steel fang gather themselves ready to push forward into Orruk territory https://thegreatweave.com/vengeance-for-dead-children/
Whilst Razgor takes half the warclan to face the enemy head on, he sends his most trusted ally and friend, the troggoth known as Big ‘Un to deal with the seraphon artillery which has been plaguing the orruk warcamp.

Urgoth Skullsmasha’s lieutenant, the Ardboy Boss Durbok explores the wrecks along the river for more lost Orruks to join the fight, maybe some loot and, however unlikely, clues to the whereabouts and condition of Warchanter Dughoz.
Along the way, he and his band are attacked by nighthaunt. They manage to drive the vengeful ghosts away for now, and Durbok himself cleaves a Knight of Shrouds in two with his new Spookbusta Choppa, earning the name Durbok Shroudcleava.
Warcry game, victory to Ironjawz.
