The Axes of Norr
The Axes of Norr Ironbreakers regiment was the most famous of the surviving Norgrimlings clan. Hollering their iconic warcry. 'Gand Dammaz, Az Baraz, Norgrimssons-za!' - which translates as 'Suffer the axe-promise, the Ancestors of Norr are upon you!' - they had fought by King Belegar's side since he returned to Karak Eight Peaks, winning renown at the East Gate. Led by then Borrik Norgrim, the Axes of Norr held off the greenskin onslaught long enough for the Citadel to be retaken. As veteran Ironbreakers, they were well used to long shifts guarding vital passageways deep underground. They showed so much confidence in their unit that the back ranks often grabbed brief naps while standing upright, locked in place by tight tunnel confines and their own brethren.[1a]
