Lacking Lore: Belegar Ironhammer, True King of Eight Peaks

By the G&F novels we know that Belegar got a foothold in K8Ps, by the End Times we know that he died fighting against gobbos and skaven, but what happened before that?

Can the exodus from Karak Izor and the Vaults presented by TW: Warhammer be taken as canon?

How the fuck did this madman manage in the first place to sneak trough the Badlands and besiege K8Ps?

Also, fuck Grimgor Marysuehide

Fuck Grimgor indeed, he's everything unfunny about orcs. As for the canon, WHFB is dead, Jim.

>he's everything unfunny about orcs

???

Kicking Archy in the balls was pretty funny.

>Also, fuck Grimgor Marysuehide
I just hate the fact that, due to regiments of renown, he levels up quicker than any other lord and can thus pull an army out of his ass by turn 30

>WHFB is dead

But not its memory m8, and thus its lore.
I want to know more about the Old World lore, because it's nice and full of epic shenanigans, while AoS's is, well, lacking to say the least.

About pic related, did he even play a part in the End Times?
Why is his new model just a white haired slayer?

That is a nice note, but he spared Archy too, and that's just infuriating, it was literally a "that's why we can't have nice things!" moment

My Dawi legendary campaign met its end at turn 5 because of that

>mfw having fight him 3 times at full strength before he retreated into a place I could nail him down.
I finally discovered the trick was to never actually target the RoR.

Yes, he appeared to save malekith at some point, they were bff in the past, and then I think partecipated in the last dwarfen shieldwall along the ghosts of other ancestors.

Kill the Lord and everyone loses their shit, it works for Orcs and Vamps too.
The tricky part is to kill someone tanky as Grimgor or Mannlet von Carstein or, even worse, Vlad.

How were on the tabletop in ye olde days Grimgor and Mannfred?

Grimgor's such a colossal pain in the ass that I just find it easier to tarpit him with Slayers, wipe out his army and kill him in the rout.
Last time I tried the assassin route, He took on Belegar and all three of the melee ghost heroes, forced me to pull back two of them die in 3 hits and nearly won.

>Fuck Grimgor indeed
Indeed.

Also, WHFB isn't dead as long as CA keep making games.

Funny how GW isn't pushing for them or anyone else to make AoS games. It's almost as if CA nor GW's vidya division think AoS is any good.

WHFB will live as long as there are people and LGSes that play it.

The only melee battle you can win against Grimgor is the one you don't fight.

Durthu, Kholek and Franz on Deathclaw can reliably kill him if you abuse charges.
Vlad, and I think Archaon, have a chance of killing him when fully upgraded.

Otherwise he just minces everything in his path

>Franz of Deathclaw
Since I tested multiple times a Franz & D VS Louen & B duel and Louen won almost always, I think it's safe to say that Louen too could 1v1 Grimgor effectively.

WHFB is in a place where GW can't touch it anymore, so better than ever.
I'd disregard anything from End Times, because Belegar just dying unceremoniously with no real point to it is both stupid and boring.

Probably, but it Depends on how reliably his charge can knock down Grimgor, since that's the key to winning

>Can the exodus from Karak Izor and the Vaults presented by TW: Warhammer be taken as canon?
Why not? The setting is dead.

>cucklegar nohammer
>lord of Eight Peaks
Make way for the True Lord of Eight Peaks

I hate that his new model is a white fireslayer

>WHFB is dead
Tell that to my pile of WHFB and WHFRPG and Mordheim books. I don't have to play what GW tells me to play, just like how I play Basic DnD still instead of whatever Wizards is putting out now adays.
