Big and mean or small and mean, these green-skinned monstrosities can be broadly categorized into two species: The large and brutish Orcs and the small and cunning Goblins.
GreenskinsThe Greenskins are considered by many to be the scourge of all civilization. Now the Forces of Chaos, mortal minions of the four gods corrupted by their influence or lured to their side by promises of power, lie in wait for the right time to destroy the world and watch it burn. Having first invaded the world millenia ago only to be barely repelled by the combined might of the Elder Races, the Chaos Gods and their Daemon armies cannot easily walk through the world and are barely contained to the poles. Despite all this, they still represent some of the most formidable forces of the world.įorces of ChaosBeyond the veil of reality lies the Realm of Chaos, home to four gods so powerful one of them alone could snuff out the world and its gods along with it, and would do so gladly. However, millenia of strife and tragedy have inevitably led to their decline, and they are now a shadow of their former selves.
In times past all of them built magnificent civilizations, grander than anything Man has achieved so far. Thus, they tend to be far more resistant to Chaos than humans. For better or worse, they have taken a central role in balancing the fate of the world.Įlder RacesOld, declining, yet proud beyond measure, the Elder Races were present in the Dawn Times, when the first of their kind were sculpted by the hand of the Old Ones themselves. Unlike other races, Humans are a diverse species, having as many corrupted and cowardly individuals as they have brave and wise heroes. However, they have grown to be a dominant species in the world, dwarfing the Elder Races by their numbers if not their sophistication. They do not remember the departure of the Old Ones or the first coming of Chaos, nor do they have the depth of knowledge and wisdom of the Elder Races. Human NationsHumans are a relatively young race in the Warhammer world.
