I think they kicked it over and looted a good portion of their kit, going by the last excerpt and the fact a high priest is currently their prisoner.
I thought they got that from Ironrock. IIRC they've mined it completely.
As for the Chaos Dwarf (no idea who it is they just called him an overseer IIRC) I mean there's plenty of possible explanations for how they got em.
I don't want to bother people with unneeded questions, but my understanding of the course of events is this.
The Orks were originally led by 4 bigguns, fighting the Great Skaven Clan that was living in Karak 8 Peaks. They won after beating one of the horned rats greater daemons and...maybe killing a lord of decay? Not sure on that front, but one of them died. Karak 8 Peaks was also demolished as a side effect. After that they spent a bit of time demolishing Iron Rock and gathering up all the boyz, which leads to modernity and them trying to destroy Karaz a Karak.
at least from greenskins anyway
Yeah. Between this and the beastmen the problem is that even victory is going to be extremely problematic. There's going to be a power vacuum and friendlies won't be able to rebuild to fill the void in time. Ah well, problems for after victory.
He´s facing ascended Genieve, Magnus the Pius with Ghal Maraz and Thorgrim with both the az a grimnir and grugni´s hammer.
The only melee combatants who´d i´d give a chance in this match up in all of malus are abhorash and tyrion with widowmaker.
Do note I'm not saying they'll loose just asking to keep perspective.
I think that's giving them too much credit. They're all potent fighters with strong weapons to be sure, but none of them are exactly combatant focused people, the hob goblin probably is (in addition to being a sneaky git majorly empowered by the waaargh.) Sure the hobgoblin or Tullaris can't lead a nation, but they don't need too.
Which again isn't to say that they'll lose barring some major bullshit, the problem this is playing to Orkish strengths. If they do kill em (a big if, sneaky git so escape is a very real possibility) then time is still wasted and they're out of position while the orks are hitting them.
Obviously, right now we can't know what impact the mines have had, but this is a battle of attrition and their big strength is that they can essentially throw arbitary we win if you don't have hero counter nonsense at them and the issue is they have a lot more heroes.
Actually speaking of how high up the totem poll is the hobgoblin?
Edit:
But yeah, AFAICT various factors are going to defacto accomplish what's his name's goal (the beastman leader) of essentially resetting the empire and the old world...well not the old world, but the empire. Even assuming no out right Ls attrition and expenditure of unrecoverable resources is just too damn high.
