When The Lion of Reikland kills Grom the Paunch during a violent war, the Green shields, a unit of black orks take his remains and build a chart to travel with the corpse. http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,7205.0.html
Then a violent war of greenskins starts in order to capture the chart and buried the remains of Grom taking the legitime of the Broken Axe clan. Diadorks wars begins.
Here I post you the decisive battle between Grunburg The Greed army against the Pirate army of Morgul Khan.
At last the Morgul'ss pirate kills a lot of Grunburg orks, but as Grunburg manage to keep the funerary chart in his side he claims the victory of the battle.
The chariot start in a randomize site of the table. It has a black ork unit carrying the chart who attack both players and move straight. Once the black ork is destroy the unit who kill it attach the chart as it is a command base. It can not be passed to any other unit. If a enemy kills the unit then capture the chart.
The chart will make the waaagh spell on the unit attached to chart. A roll is made during the magic phase.
The battle was 2400 point per side and the player which have the chart will gain 250 VP.
The battle takes place in the Badlands, so whe place scenography to represent that.
Was really fun game. Do not have time to make a proper battler report , so I share some pictures, and I hope you will at least share the mood and the violence of a orks vs orks battle!

I like it! Looks like a fun game.
Nice pictures too.
As well as the Warmaster Giant there are a couple of others - are they the Copplestone ones?
Thanks Ithoriel,
the other Giant is made by Bel, and it is like modern 28mm GW giant.
The other two giant (far away in the pictures. They do not do anything significant in the battle) were 28mm troll and goblin king from Grenadier. Sculpted by Mark but during the 80-90 ies . There is no picture to see them clearly. In the last picture they are brigaded near the crater in the horizont line :)
Good pictures.
Always a good idea to have something worthwhile to scrap over. Keep up the great work
I would say the only winner was the orcs!
nice battle 8)
did I see some fishmen lurking about
Yes you see them right. :D Fishmen or "Fomori daemons", we use them as ogres in chaos and orks armies. They love human flesh, yammi yammi!

Hi, Would you also be able to tell us what the source of the non-GW dragon is?

I think is 15mm Ral Partha Dragon, but not sure because it was bought second hand.
Gorko's subbuteo games are VERY wild.... ;D

Found it!

"Aeetes' Dragon: Hobbyproducts/Demonworld, #4317 High Elf Dragon With Female Rider, link (company is out of business but you should be able to find a retailer via Google
This miniature is for a 15-mm scale game but the miniature is large enough that it is still a Large creature in 28mm scale. I didn't use the included elf miniature and didn't attach the wings, using putty to sculpt textured scales in the gaps where the wings go."
the Demon world range has been put back into production via Ral Partha Europe who bought the moulds
