Fusil-Major Rosforth knows this better than most. Following an almost career-ending injury, he now rides into battle atop Slobda – ogor, Maneater and fierce, unlikely friend. Their bond is simple: Rosforth shoots, Slobda eats.READ IT BECAUSEWhile Grand Alliance Order features many heroic figures, few are as noble as the mortal defenders of the Cities of Sigmar, fighting on through pure grit and determination. These stories offer insight into what it must be like to face down foes that would drive others mad, defending one's family, friends, and way of life against beasts and monsters who want nothing more than to tear your home to shreds.THE STORYSomething gnaws at the Realm of Ghyran.
