Gutbuster’s Gutbusters are a company of Ogre maneater mercenaries. They are seasoned veterans and have fought for (and sometimes against) Imperial armies from the Grey Mountains to the Worlds Edge Mountains and from Kislev to the Border Princes. They are hardened and cynical and wouldn’t think twice about eating anyone if things come to that.[1a]
They are currently camping around the Teufeltal Lake spending their bounty. They have eaten most of the sheep from all the small farms around Tallerhof. The farmers are pleased because they’ve got a good price for their flocks, but food is running low. The ogres are keen to stay because they are avidly trying to catch ‘Old One Eye’, the local legendary giant fish of Teufeltal Lake. The entire company has become obsessed with the idea of catching and eating the giant fish and cannot be persuaded that it doesn’t exist.[1a]
The Gutbusters will do nothing for free. The patrons will have a hard time convincing them to join the defence against the Waaagh! that is menacing the region, unless they are prepared to pay handsomely. It looks like certain death, and the company has no loyalty except to their stomachs. The best thing they can do is offer lots of good food, and the next best thing would be lots of money. Food might be a problem; the Lowe Farm is the only one around that has a good number of sheep left. If the patrons could bring all the sheep down from the hills, that would definitely convince the maneaters to help but will of course cost them even more of their limited time.[1a]
Snarky Gutbuster[]
Snarky is the company’s corpulent captain. The other ogres are in awe of the size of his belly and the sheer amount he can fit in his mouth in one go. So large is Snarky that he carries an Imperial cannon, which he uses as if it were a mere handgun.[1a]
