Editing Gorbad Ironclaw (section)

===The Invasion of the Empire===
In his search for an opponent more willing to put up a fight, Gorbads Waaagh stumbled into [[Black Fire Pass]], and they soon found the fort that guards the entrance into the Empire. At this point Gorbads Waaagh was unfathomably large and, unlike the Dwarfs, the fort didn't have the defensive capabilities to lock their doors, so it was utterly destroyed by the Orcs as they rampaged straight into the Empire and the province of Averland. The peasants of Averland had no idea that the huge Waaagh was on its way, so imagine their surprise when some screaming, green retard kicked in the door of their home. The invading Orcs tallied up such a kill count and plundered such a large hoard of treasure that Gorbad had to stop the Waaagh on the borders of the Moot to set up camp to go through all the things he had looted. Soon enough the Elector Count of Averland sent an army to stop the Waaagh, and requested that the surrounding provinces send reinforcements to help.

When the Count of Averland's army met Gorbad's Waaagh they were hopelessly outnumbered and almost the entire army was wiped out in a single battle, with a few knights getting away and warning the rest of the Empire of the sheer size and strength of the invading army. After the side show of the Averland army, the Orcs continued into the Moot to beat up the Halflings for a few days (in which they invented lots of fun games to torture the little buggers like putting them in pit fights against [[Snotling]]s, and roasting their feet over fires) before marching on, and destroying the city of Averheim, where most of the Halflings and citizens of Averland's countryside had fled. The massive Waaagh then swung round and headed towards the city of Nuln.

Nuln actually had a few days to properly prepare for Gorbad, and so the Elector Count spent his time rallying troops, forming militias and readying the city's defences, as well as drawing up plans to try and kill as many Greenskins as possible. During this time Gorbad was also preparing his army as roaming Orc tribes in the Empire were currently flocking to his banner, further making an already big Waaagh even bigger. When Gorbad attacked Nuln, the defence failed immediately. The walls were almost immediately overrun by the Orcs and the Elector Count called his forces to act out a fighting retreat across the bridge spanning the river Riek, which they then destroyed to ensure the orcs had no way to get across. That was until a bunch of Greenskins sailing really shitty ships came up the river and started to ferry Orcs across the river with a bunch of big'uns acting as shock-troops. Gorbad, now very pissed off that another enemy had tried to run away again, told his boyz to start building a floating bridge across the river, using wrecked ships and any pieces of wood to build it. Gorbad then charged his orcs into the defenders who were once again forced to retreat and abandon the city. With the fall of Nuln, refugees flooded the capital city, Altdorf, as it had the greatest chance of beating down Gorbad's Waaagh.
