| Rare Units are the most
powerful troops in the army, as well as those that are least in number. There
is a maximum number of Rare Units that can be fielded, and this varies with the size of
the army (see "Armies of The Gorrum Empire").
Famous companies of Dogs of War have on occasion fought
alongside the armies of the Gorrum Empire, such as Ruglug's Armoured Orcs and the Cursed
Company. |
| GROLLACS |
Points/model: 35 |
The Grollac are the strangest of all the races of the Empire. They live
alone or in small tribal groups deep in the mountains subsisting from hunting and
foraging. They are huge four-armed beings who tower over the Gorrum Chi, and it is lucky
for the ruling classes that they are so few and that they are generally peaceful until the
bloodlust takes them in battle. With the scent of battle and the bloodlust in their
hearts, they become raging terrors and machines of death and destruction. |

| WAR ELEPHANTS |
Points/model: Gorrba
Crew: 210
Gorrul Crew: 220 |
Elephants are large creatures imported from the Indus, and use for war and for
beasts of burden. War Elephants are specially trained for use in war. The Gorrum equip
them with a Howdah carrying an armed crew of troops armed with missiles and long handled
halberd weapons. The usual crew will be made up of twelve armed troops, plus the mahut,
who rides astride the Elephant's neck. The mahut carries a large spike to drive into the
head of the Elephant if it goes on a rampage. The howdah can also be equipped with a
single ballista. |

| CELESTIAL FIRE ROCKETS |
Points/model: 85 |
The Celestial Fire Rocket carries an explosive charge, but due to its
unpredictable nature it does not always explode when the rocket lands. Sometimes the
rocket will smash into the ground and simply bury itself without exploding. On other
occasions the rocket will hit the ground and spin round madly before its propellant
splutters into life once more carrying the rocket off in a new direction. A rocket that
goes wild in this way can sometimes hop and skip across the battlefield, changing
direction several times before it explodes. |
