Marauders
History: an offshoot race of humans deerted on a feral planet. Over the millenia they have evolved into hulking brutes that specialise in close combat, setting taps and using hunting tactis to demoralise and ultimately destroy their enemies. They also capture the wild animals of there planet that clsely resemble dinosaurs and employ them instead of conventional war machines.
Heroes: one of the greatest tribal leaders of the marauders history, dolthrak used an excessive amount of war beasts compared to other tribes. although his tribe was initially much smaller than many others, with the use of so many beast he was able to overthrow other tribal leaders and gain more troops.
troops: the normal marauder soldier is built like an ogryn, but specialise in waiting in ambush and trapping their foes, before using there superior size to overwhelm them in close combat. The basic tribesmen that do not wait in ambush are often found riding into the battle on their war mammoths or herding the one of the many other montrous creatures the marauders employ against their foes.
Heavys: many of the creatures that the marauders employ are similar dinosaurs, albiet much larger, sabre tooth tigers are standard to most tribes, but some of the larger tribes manage to capture creatures resembaling t-rexes to use against their foes. Once unleashed, the creatures will charge straight ahead into enemy lines as small arms fire bounces harmlessly of their scaly hides. When the foe is destroyed, the marauders face the challenge of once again restraining the monsters, often losing more tribesmen. this may seem like a high cost, but they damage that these monsters inflict on the enemy is unparraled apart from the titans of the more established races. There have been reports of some creatures matching the size of titans however; they are normally cut short and followed by the sound of gunfire. It is unknown if it is the regular heavy creatures of the marauders, or if there are even larger creatures that the marauders have yet to use in combat.....
