Worlds of Warhammer: Dark Humour

Jordan Green considers why grotesque comedy belongs in settings filled with catastrophe and cosmic horror. Orks, grots and troggoths follow their own coherent but absurd logic, yet looking at those same creatures through an ordinary soldier’s eyes restores their danger and prevents their comic appeal from reducing them to harmless relief.

The Tome Celestial: Troggherds of the Realms

Troggoths emerge from the deep places in wandering herds whose violence and apparent stupidity frustrate more calculating opponents. Accounts of Glogg’s growing migration, the Stoical Gobblemaws and the Old Lady of the Bog explore regional differences and uncertain origins, while a historical sequence follows the destruction these creatures leave across the Mortal Realms.
