Bear with me on this one. We know that the Black Orc Rebellion occurred "around the time of Sigmar," beginning about a hundred years before the founding of the Empire. We know that Sigmar's rise coincided with a massive Greenskin invasion emerging from the Dark Lands into the Old World, culminating in the Battle of Black Fire Pass in -1 I.C. Recent accounts (The Life of Sigmar, Heldenhammer) have clearly shown that it was Black Orcs running the show, and we know the Black Orcs were created by the Chaos Dwarfs.

Sooo...is it too much of a stretch, d'you imagine, that the fleeing warbands of the Black Orc Rebellion were responsible for the massive invasion of the Old World by Greenskins, which in turn provided the crucible that allowed Sigmar to forge his disparate tribes into an Empire of Men? Did the Chaos Dwarfs inadvertently help found the Empire?

It's a pretty sound argument that our release of Black Orcs on the world have caused incalculable damage.  Black Orcs are very good at uniting Greenskins, and it seems the manlings had to unite to stop the massive WAAAGHS led by Black Orcs.

Sounds plausible and it'd be hilarious if GW actually took notice of this. We must spread the word of this, he he he.

Check the description of the warlords axe in Heldenhammer.  Sounds a lot like a CD made weapon.

Is there a mention of CD in heldenhammer?
It would be nice to have Cd turning that so called invasion into a massive wave of refugees.
