MadHatter:
The Great Market of Zharr-Naggrund is a place of marvel and wonder for the Dawi-Zharr citizens. Here spoils, exotic goods, weapons and artifacts from all four corners of the world are traded and sold. Hobgoblin servants scurr around on their masters errands (when not sneaking away for a game of dice). The market is ruled by a Matriarchy of Rinn’Zharr, the Chaos Dwarf women, with their own politics and their rule of the marketplace is harshly enforced by the Bullcentaurs.
At the border furthest from the Temple of Hashut the sulphurous smell of tar and burning coal is mixed with both the fragrance of exotic spices aswell as that of the sweat and blood of the thousands of slaves up for auction or trade.
Among the endless warehouses of the greater families the small clan known as Kalan A Gorak-Zharr, the Clan of Bestial Fire, have their rugged little tradingpost. Here, the Gorak-Zharr Castellan Zaki Elkidrengul in peaceful times oversee the auctioning of what spoils the clan might have hauled back to their capital city.
By clan tradition positions are inherited and this is the sole reason why the once grand Gorak-Zharr clan these days are few (and a poor and hardened bunch it is). The clans worst hardship was the catastrophic loss of a newly constructed Battlebarge loaded with goods and clansmen bound for Uzkulak which sank in the great underground tunnel when steered into a solid rock wall by it’s newly appointed captain Varrul the Blind.
The Gorak-Zharr Castellan is no exception to this problem, while his grandfather was a great merchant the bitter Zaki himself is more the grim berzerker type of dwarf and only deals in trades (simply because he does not understand coin).
"Steeep right up and see the best meat this side Zorn Uzkul! The mighty Gorak-Zharr offer tender umgi and 'ard dawi alike (break 'em you buy 'em)."

Bloodbeard:
Writing fluff for the sales thread. Ha e some slaves.
Could I get a better picture of the warwagon crew?
MadHatter:
Updated!
Have squats, need cannonbarrels and leaders!
Admiral:
Woah, Squat exoarmours! I’m sure they’ll get you a nice sum of cash on Ebay or Tradera if you put them there. The ones I tried to bid for crossed the 300 kr threshold in no time. I’ve got nothing to barter with, but are you interested in cash? I won’t go that high, though, so you’ll be better off putting them up for Ebay auction.
Nice background, as well. Unexpected in this forum section. :cheers

Bloodbeard snatched him and all the empire just a second ago, truly sorry. There may be some other empire stuff coming up in a while!
Thanks alot for the offer!
MadHatter:
“Whip 'em umgi off to Lord Zantromm’s mine eeemmediatly and throw 'em weird dawi on the next freighter to Uzkulak” Zaki bellowed. While the red-eyed greenskins got to work he patted his fat belly thrice, quite pleased with himself.
Items have been shipped.
Bloodbeard:
Zaki was sitting enjoying a glass of thick dark blood-mead, a rare ray of sunlight hitting a spot in his neck, when a shadow fell over him. “I tend only to leave my laboratory when making sacrifices at the Great Bull Furnace or when marching to war. So consider this an unexpected honour if you will Zaki. The slaves has arrived, and rarely seen in such an… unbroken condition. Don’t disappoint in the future and we’ll trade again.”
The tall, for a dawi zharr, hellsmith dropped a heavy leather purse on the table near Zaki. Then Zantromm turned away, continuing on his way towards the temple district. The ray of sunlight had drowned in dark smoke and poisonous smog.
Items received
MadHatter:
Having watched the Torturous Prophet walk his way Zaki returned to his senses. The clans slavestock almost depleted a rickety wagon pulled by a beaten and worn slave-ogre approached.
“Eazy on beating the dragrumi” Zaki bellowed to the Hobgoblins. “We can’t afford ter break another one”.
The Hobgoblin Overseer handed him a letter which read:
“Spoils from the west, we ate the rest” and was signed Harul Ogriguz.
Was this the young Daemonsmith’s idea of a joke? Zaki muttered to himself. He found the wagon to be filled with giant robed ugly bones underneath which he found a tied up lone sooty face grimacing badly. “Argh! Why me!? Another dwarf!!” he kicked in the dust.
OOP, metal, Nagash - Lord of the Undead

Admiral:
Nagash is OOP? I hardly expected him to go with the recent great purge. After all, all other vintage models look good, but that head on Nagash…
Really entertaining background.
Dînadan:
OMG the Nahash miniature - kill it with fire!
Herby
Do you honestly think that will be enough?:o

lol ;P
So true. One of the worst miniatures ever made.
Herby
I read somewhere that it was supposed to be better but GW didn't like the original sculpt so the sculptor (Gary Morely?) sculpted the Bobo the Clown version thinking they'd reject it and go for the original sculpt but instead they went for the Clown version and that's what we got.
MadHatter:
Never should we forget :hat off
Its famous and a fun to own piece, and alot more talked about than the forgotten but fantastic old models like Dieter Helsnitch or Arbaal the Undefeated! I had this one shipped overseas because of the bullhead on his torso, my fireborn has a better solution now but I still believe that robe will be great flaming with a steel skeleton beneath. I might just exchange his head for that of a Great Taurus and make it a Daemon Prince of Hashut in the future if no one wants to trade :cheers
Bloodbeard:
I think the minotaurs are even worse - they look so unnatural.
If my budget allowed for it, I would buy him - convert him with minimum effort and paint him cool.
MadHatter:
With the success of Harul Ogriguz’s western expedition greenskins start to show up at the Gorak-Zharr tradingpost.
“Finally that hazkal-doh sends some decent greenskin muscle” Zaki thought to himself. With a wicked smile he ordered the hobgoblins to lock up the savage orcs in the same cage as that of the captured dwarf pilot. He rubbed his hands together, this was going to be entertaining.
