Editing Grom the Paunch (section)

==[[Total War: WARHAMMER]] II==
This grand lord thiccems is back, and is ready for round two against Eltharion in Total War Warhammer II. Coming in The Warden and The Paunch DLC, he will be bringing Pump Wagons, new trolls, Rogue Idols and a much needed Greenskin rework to the game. He will be able to cook meals to buff him and his army, and Blacktoof is back as a dismembered head to give him advice! Yes, Blacktoof is a talking head now, don't question it, it's hilarious.

Total War Warhammer 2: The Warden and the Paunch DLC adds to the story of Grom by explaining what happened in between his infamous invasion and when Eltharion finally put an end to him. It seems Grom had indeed escaped Ulthuan after the invasion and had recuperated with his surviving forces in the Eastern area of the Southlands near Nehekhara. During his escape he apparently lost his axe but gained the head of Ol’ Blacktoof which somehow still held the shaman’s consciousness and now had the ability to talk to Grom and give advice (possibly due to Blacktoof having absorbed so much magic from wrecking the Waystones).

During his campaign Grom sets about rebuilding his forces in preparation for a second invasion of Ulthuan first by smashing the nearby Spider Goblins into submission and then by absorbing any Greenskin bands left in the nearby Badlands. In the course of doing so the game reveals the answer to the longstanding lore question regarding if Grom knew Git existed or what happened to Git after Grom died. As it turn out, according to Total War Warhammer 2, Grom not only knew about Git Guzzler but Grom had killed and probably eaten the latter. This was due to Git Guzzler having somehow acquired (stolen) Grom’s missing axe and also due to the fact Grom saw him as pretender Goblin King with a stupid hat that he was using to try and make himself seem bigger. After killing Git Guzzler and getting his axe back Grom apparently absorbed his army and proceeded with his plan to assault Ulthuan again. In Grom’s ending the new invasion is successful and afterwards he and his big green army devour the Elves. In the High Elf ending the Elves defeat Grom once again setting the stage for Grom to be hunted down per the BL novel.
