I was right, It was a FUCKING Exalted Slaughterbrute. You cant even field such masses of fuck you on tabletop, and that allows godsdamned Dread Saurians.
And he duelled it to death, what manner of combat related butchery black-hole is that Warboss.

A Warboss that spent 25 Years in the hardest Pit Fighting that the absolutely ridiculous monster-heavy forces of the Dark Elves were able to throw at him. Kidnapped straight from the coasts of the Northwestern Empire, aka the Middle Mountains, after he'd become Boss of the Tribe. 25 Years of constant, constant, constant, ever escalating combat at the hands of Dark Elves who after the fifth year began throwing ever more monsters of worse and worse description at him just to see if he'd live. Healing wounds out of twisted sense of ownership over their slave, to keep him fighting as much as possible. So he was thrown into fights, would win, and was healed, or would lose, was healed and then thrown right back in.

Lelilopasdgasdg whoever the fuck was a powerful Sorceress personally charged by Malekith to hunt down Archmage Aurelion who previously spared her life during the invasion of Ulthuan a short whileago on pain of death. Also a personal assassin of Malekith. But Aurelion was deep in the lands of the Empire, and they needed a powerful enough force to swipe all aside and reach her.

They chose Gorebash, and trained/forced him into fights to increase his abilities for just such a purpose. Essentially, they made an orc sized missile and added to its payload over and over until they deemed him powerful enough to ravage his way to anywhere he needed to in the Empire to reach Aurelion.

Unfortunately, Victor Ludenhof killed Leklishe's dead it doesn't matter, and she was the only one who knew the specific target. All the rest of her task force knew was that they were headed to the center of Imperial Power, because Aurelion was there in studies with her teacher Teclis. They assumed the target was Magnus.

Oh, and his choppas and armor were/are made out of the rune-inscribed chunks of a Dwarven Ironclad that ran into Black Ark while on its lonesome.

The Choppas and Armor thing are all me, but the whole Pit-Fighter slave for the Drucchi after being kidnapped from his clan was part of Battlemarch. (though in Battlemarch he began as a runt, where here he made Chieftain when he got nabbed)

Oh, and he didn't kill it to death by himself. It had to tear through a thousand or so boys to get at him, and had been fighting on the front lines beforehand for an hour. Also Wazog Empowered him and was shooting WAAAGH! bolts and such the whole fight. Even then, as you saw, Gorebash was really close to dying before he got angry and forgot he was dying. Then Wazog started healing him....

Maybe tell them that those kids become Beastmen when they get tossed into the woods?

Side effect of low education levels, most people, even if they gave birth to a freak, can't quite make themselves kill their own child, whatever they may profess to believe, or are taught. This sort of thing needs very expensive oversight to head off, given the amount of population dispersed over a large rural area to cover. I suppose you could try to make sure a priest(of Shallya) and a Witch Hunter presides over every birth, but that would be ridiculously expensive.

Then at least tell them to kill the babies that mutate, and NOT by dumping them into woods.

They do get told to do so. However allot of parents just won't kill their own child with their very hands and resort to leaving them in the wilderness instead. Similarly there are allot of midwives who just don't have it in them to kill baby after baby like that. Have an excerpt from one of the books:
"Magda looked down at the wriggling bundle in her hands. Revulsion warred with pity. It squirmed, and a fleshy appendage slipped free from the swaddling cloth. Her gnarled fingers adjusted the wrappings, covering the offending flesh. If she saw the thing again, she might go mad. She knew she should drown the thing. It was an abomination. It was her duty. But she'd already drowned a dozen babies in her long career as a midwife, and she knew, deep down another murder just wasn't in her. She couldn't do it."

"A sigh slipped from her lips as she saw the phantom images of malformed faces, sparkling eyes, the very memories of innocent children she had killed, who were somehow undeserving of life because of some cruel joke played by the Gods. The baby cried. She looked around. No one. An empty field at the edge of the wood. The world was purple with the coming dawn. All still slept, tucked away in their beds, ignorant of Magda's crime."

"There. Ahead. Movement. The time is now. Wth trembling hands, she laid the bawling infant on a bed of pine needles. She removed the cloth lest her crime be revealed, and saw the pink flesh of an otherwise hale and healthy babe except for the tentacle growing from its neck. The child looked up at her, its newborn eyes searching out for the warmth stolen from it. It cried louder. The rustling approached. WIth a sob, Magda fled, the wail of the afflicted echoing in her ears."

but then you have cases like this:

OOC: A Bretonnian baron's wife gave birth to a mutant. She killed herself, leaving the Baron alone with the baby. The Baron hated and loathed the child, but couldn't bring himself to have the newborn killed, as it was his after all. So he took the little baby into the woods and left it there to be killed by the forest animals and dark creatures that lived there.

Unbeknownst to him, the child survived.

Many years later the Baron's lands are attacked by orcs, and whilst the brave knights and peasantry face the orcish threat the forest comes to horrible tainted life, spreading rapidly and with the tell tale signs of chaos corruption. Within the rapidly growing forest was a great warherd of beastmen, lead by a terrifying mutant.

The orc camp was swallowed by the corrupt forest and butchered without mercy, then the warherd spread the diseased forest further, swallowing whole fiefdoms.

The bretonnian knights fought valiantly but they had been weakened by the fighting with the orcs, and no message could be sent to send for aid from the Duke.

Eventually, the forest spread all the way to the Baron's castle, where upon it was besieged and laid to waste by the rampaging warherd and corrupted forest. The Baron was slain, but when all hope was lost the Baron's eldest son slew the terrible mutant that lead the warherd, causing the corrupt forest to lose all life and swiftly decay, leaving the warherd without cover. The surviving knights beat them back with great slaughter when they rallied, but at the battles end it was discovered that a tattered, decay ridden banner was found on the mutant who had lead the beastmen.

And it had borne the heraldry of the Baron's own house.

Hmm...maybe a centralized or a common hospital/physician house for pregnant or expecting ladies.

Have a sigmar priest or what not stand by close as well a shalyan as well, if baby is fine, it's fine. If not...well, we need to at least reduce the problem.

That warboss is awesome since he takes his heart falling out after a big fight like a boss.

He also orders the death of all the Dark Elves present which already puts him in my good books. Silly Dark Elves thinking they can control the Orks.:p

He's a protagonist tier warboss with an intelligent shaman that is more or less his second in command. And that was JUST in canon.

Now, how are we going to kill him? Wazog and Gorbash may not be on the best of terms, but they aren't going to up and abandon one another.

Maybe Freddy, Magnus, the Chaos army, or whatever else on the battlefield will kill them.

Just depends on their rolls.
 
[X] Bloodthirster and Legion: You must trust Magnus. Some unspoken rule of one-on-one combat has been enacted, and not a single Khornate approaches. Any that do are cut down by their fellows. If you break that rule…you aren't sure if they'll swarm or not. Besides, the Bloodthirster is the greater threat, ripping and tearing apart your lines! Reiksmarshal Drakenhoff is heading right towards the damn thing, but he is but one man with a runefang. It would be better if there are two. Besides, you can shift an army to assist, which is far more than you can concentrate into the small part of the battlefield that has cleared for the titanic duel. You would be a burden on Magnus in that, and even worse a detriment.

Kinda hoping Gorebash pulls a Gorgutz and runs when its clear his Waaagh is dead, then further proceeds to head back to Naggaroth and whips them local pansy greenskins over their head until he can Waaagh against Malekith.

If he and his shaman do survive they will most likely head toward the southern mountains to beat the Greenskins there into shape.
 
Quesrion...wouldn´t it be smart to say that Teclis and Co should help Magus/deal with Thorgar while the rest of us deals with the other daemon? Because that way the chances of Magnus would increase and we would have only to stop it for a short amount of time before we would get the support of the emperor?
 
You aren't going to be telling Teclis squat diddly what to do.

You ain't the Emperor, or the Reiksmarshal, or commanding officer of nuffin.

This is a 'What is Frederick, specifically' going to do.

Gonna have to hope that the centuries old and super power/intelligent elf dude knows what he's doing.

Pretty much. If I remember my Table Top right allies are not allowed to start fighting one of the combatants(no shooting one of them either) when it comes to the challenge but mages buffing up the guy on their side is A-okay(confirmation would be appreciated though), which is why I think it's well advised to head for the bloodthirster, so the two of them would be clear.

It almost makes me think that Thorgar must be hiding Karanark* somewhere in the battlefield for him to be confident enough to take on Magnus with both Finreir and Teclis being here to support him. Perhaps he's expecting for his bloodthirster ally to head out for the two of them and manage to eliminate them before they can tip the tide of battle firmly in Magnus' favor.

Perhaps he even thinks that Khorne would so deeply resent the use of magic in such a duel that he'd buff him enough to overcome the disadvantage presented by Magnus getting the support of two of some of the greatest mages in the world, if he can even manage that.

*Khorne's personal bloodhound and mage hunter.

Well, my vote isn't going to win soooo....go with what seems more intelligent.
 
I wonder in addition to the buffs Magnus has a re-roll for evey god that supports him.

That would be so cool.
