Ironjawz – Scourge of Ghyran Gore-gruntas
9" 5 3+ 2 Thundering and smashing their way through the trees of the Swathe without regard for caution or self-preservation, the metal-clad cavalry known as Gore-gruntas are an unstoppable menace. Clinging on to their porcine mounts and guffawing oafishly, Ironjawz riders swing wildly at their foes with oversized cleavers, each strike sending severed limbs and heads flying through the air. | ||
