	Trollbloods have the dubious honor of being the most shit on faction fluffwise. Cygnar promised them a bunch of lands, but neglected to tell them that said land was in the way of a gigantic Skorne army. Then when they went to the king of Cygnar, Leto, to get the lands they were promised, he basically told them to fuck off. The trolls were not pleased. This, coupled with the fact that the Menite priest-kings used to enslave trollbloods for use as beasts of burdens and menial workers, has caused the leader of the Trollbloods, Chief Madrak Ironhide to unite all the warring kriels. Picking up the cursed axe of Rathrok out of desperation, he is leading the race into a new, uncertain future, carving out their own land, and Dhunia help any pink-skinned human, elf, skorne or undead construct that dares stand in their way.

			After the Infernals Invasion event, they canonically said "fuck you humans, you can't be trusted" and migrated south to the tropical jungle-covered subcontinent and found their own new nation.

Post Infernals, their biggest boss, a bokor called Barnabas the Bloody, has actually achieved his crazy plan to ascend to godhood.
	* '''The Thornfall Alliance:''' A new proto-nation, like the United Kriels of the Trollbloods. ''Unlike'' the Trollbloods, the farrow are pig people, which is awesomely ridiculous. They have interesting warlocks with different play styles, but little variation in their forces due to a limited unit list. And all of their warlocks can only use [[Farrow]] warbeasts. However, the War Hog (which is the biggest pig around) is beastly enough to do the job in nearly every occasion. Less flexible than Blindwater as they tend to use a more direct approach.		* '''The Thornfall Alliance:''' A new proto-nation, like the United Kriels of the Trollbloods.

	Defeated and banished, the Orgoth asked the Fellgoeth Infernals for aid in creating their own version of steampunk magic-tech in the hopes of another go. Eventually they succeeded, creating their own dark variation warjacks fueled by trapped spirits and tortured souls. After their main rivals, the Nonokrians, screwed up and were kicked out, the Fellgoeth want to reclaim their top spot.

	The Orgoth began their invasion at Khador about five years after the Battle of Hedge Hold. They quickly conquered the provinces Kos, Razokov, and Borstoi(basically the south ~~weste~~ coastline of Khador), and after a brief break to carry out thousands of human sacrifices, they began marching of the capital Khardov, where they were temporarily repulsed.

	A very new faction (only released 2022), so the meta around them is still being ironed out. What is known is that they have a much smaller range of models than other factions. To compensate, the synergies within the Faction are strong and/or models have uniquely powerful abilities.		A very new faction (only released 2022), so the meta around them is still being ironed out.

	'''Warmachine''' and '''Hordes''', often called '''Warmahordes''', are tabletop wargames produced by [[Privateer Press]]. Uniquely among other games of the same genre, Warmachine and Hordes are actually built from the ground up to be played with one another. They are essentially the same game with two different flavorings: Warmachine factions are more civilized and make use of giant steam-powered [[magitek]] robots, while Hordes armies tend to be more [[Orks\|barbaric]] and use huge-ass kaiju instead. Other than this, the two games are functionally identical to the point of most tournaments allowing armies from either game to be fielded against one another. This has led to most players referring to the game as ''Warmahordes''. Both games are currently in their <s>second</s> third edition (06~~/29~~/2016 edition), referred to as ''Prime MkIII'' for Warmachine and ''Primal MkIII'' for Hordes.

	Both games are set in and around the [[Iron Kingdoms]], a group of warring states on the western coast of a continent called Immoren. Everyone hates each other, as is par for the course in a wargame setting, and some major power players are dedicated to constantly stirring shit up among the more good-aligned factions so that they keep fighting one another and make themselves too weak to oppose the inevitable zombie invasions.

	A barbarian empire hailing from beyond the deserts to the east of Cygnar, which were previously thought to be so inhospitable that no one could live out there. As it turns out, this was wrong - it just means that the people living out there are [[Grimdark\|crazy, sadomasochistic pain-worshipers with an insatiable thirst for blood]]. Think of Conan the Barbarian mixed with Hellraiser, with not nearly enough sex. A while ago, they got a visit from deposed Cygnarian king Vinter Raelthorne, who kicked out the leaders and decided to use them as pawns to get his kingdom back. Now they have come storming across the sands full of piss and vinegar in search of somewhere to live that sucks marginally less and they're not going to stop murdering the shit out of everyone until they get it gosh-darn it.

	On the tabletop, Skorne is roughly equivalent to most newbies' idea of Khador: slow, durable, and pretty much guaranteed to crush whatever they get into melee with. Their warbeasts are brutally dangerous in close quarters, and their infantry aren't any less threatening. They're not really going anywhere fast, but if you want some Greek-style phalanx combat and an army that can take a beating and give it right back, this is your go-to.
