Foul, duplicitous wretches. While I despise the Greenskin hordes, at least there is some honesty to their savagery. They are as they are and while they all must surely be annihilated one day, they've not committed the greatest sin of joining the dark powers. Not so the Hobgoblins, for they are the willing minions of Chaos. They march under the cursed banners of the host of Zharr Naggrund, enslaving other races at the behest of their cruel and twisted Dwarf masters. Could there be anything more unnatural than Greenskins working for Dwarfs?!?
