Mantic’s Abyssal Dwarfs Make Orcs Their Slaves
May 25, 2012 by brennon
Some more new Abyssal Dwarf images from Mantic Games for Kings of War this morning starting with a deadly looking Mortar...
This Mortar looks like it could do a serious bit of damage to the enemy. I like the evil detailing on the front of it which certainly set it as different to the Dwarf war machines.

When orcs get hungry they eat each other …
they are orcs they are great slaves cus they are easy to lead into battle as they dont care who they are fighting for as long as they get to fight
