It's not a post apocalyptic world at all, not sure where you got that idea. There was a period of thousands of years of civilization in the mortal realms before Chaos hosed everything up (again)

Edit: ^^^ If that's true it's hilarious because there has been zero communication about that thousands of years of world-building that they could have talked about. I mean that is literally what this is missing that WHFB had; all sorts of winding backstories that helped you give the races a real persona and context.

I have a theory that the Mortal Realms are the orc afterlife and Age of Sigmar is a huge retcon of the End Times. So basically all the Orruks are wearing their Sunday best armour and are battling for eternity, seeking the ultimate unending battle. Or as the old Norse may know it, RagnOrruk. Chaos managed to destroy the Old World thrusting the narrative forge into overdrive and creating the Mortal Realms. Sigmar, struggles to force his Fascist order onto the unsaved souls bitching about how their collections are worthless and their hobby was killed. Meanwhile a bunch of body builders in gimp suits coagulate into throngs inside might-skull castles. Then an race of smaller body builders with big hats oil themselves forth and slide out of the deepest mines searching for ur-Gold. Enter the Orruks - a fourth race of body builders with big armour. But they seek the pure joy of combat and battle. They are a perpetual motion machine of flexing muscle, tense sinew, and roaring testosterone. All they seek is more, ever more depraved acts of This is a retcon of the End Times because the Orruks are the real

There was a period of thousands of years of civilization in the mortal realms before Chaos hosed everything up (again) Not so. From Lexicanum, this is what happened immediately prior to present day: "The horrors the dark gods set upon the mortal realms seemed paltry in comparison to the devastation they caused in the world-that-was. The free folk fought, but they were weakened by the fall of the alliance and the union of chaos followers due to the return of Archaon, the ender of worlds. Sigmar closed the gates to Azyr and left the other realms to their fates, not seen again for centuries. The other realms were forced to live in a living hell, frowned in gore and rot, were cities and settlements were torn down and spiked citadels were raised beneath blood-red skies." Sounds like a post-apocalyptic wasteland to me!

Yeah, that happened. But then Sigmar opened the gates again a length of time later (I want to say a few millennia) and the sigmarines came out to save/conquer the worlds. Presumably some people rebuilt some stuff... Like... Uh... Well the chaos and dwarves are basically naked... But the orruks got their armour from somewhere. Otherwise you just have the plot of TF2 which is billionaires fighting a war with mercenaries over useless ground purely to prevent the other from having it, only with no idea why that would be ironic, darkly humerous or anything but stern-faced drama. Edit: I zoomed in enough to read some of the blurryness. The orruks wear pig-iron shaped with their bare hands, and minds too small to comprehend more than canage. So, the small-minded warriors punched chunks of metal hard enough to turn them into suprisingly regular-edged shapes... And then punched the paint onto them as well?

i love fantasy fiction, where a faction named Chaos whom are the most flat definition of Chaotic Evil possible and whose every bit of arbitrary characterisation is either based on, or justified by, them being Chaos, can have literal hundreds of loving years pass by in stagflation and conformity. blood citadels, forever. one chaos warlord dared to build a pool and fill it with water instead of FROWNING GORE and he was subsequently flogged to death.

I mean, since all modern day fantasy orcs follow from LOTR, including warham orcs, it only follows that they also represent the fear of industrialization and deadly machinery that threatened the idyllic past and destroyed the natural beauty that Tolkien admired. Their armor suggests industrialization, which is evil. The Sigmarines, of course, are Luddites who oppose such industrialization and they defeat it while wearing the finest handcrafted items that are custom made by the best smiths to look identical to each other.

Okay so thinking about the rest of the space on this 12" x 12" and I though about little chevrons that you could stack for easy to forget unit modifiers like so:  These can stack on the corner, and they will nest with the bigger markers on the end. I have a generic 'Magic Item' one, and 'Inspiring'. Good idea? What else would you throw in there. 'Elite' maybe?
