a quote i love about Grom: "It is said that on that day Grom last saw his own legs. Yet so huge and powerful had Grom grown that he no longer needed to see them, and could, instead, order others to see his legs for him."

HIS IMMENSITY, HIS ENORMISTY, HAS RETURNED

The moral of the story is that no matter how small and weak you might be, if you eat the right things, you can become a successful warlord and butcher everyone that pisses you off.

Poor Nibblets saw the Eye of Terror the day Grom sat on him

what makes him even more dangerous is he can and is willing to actually walk and get things done on his own

I hope he eventually talks about Grombrindal, a character who made Secret Santa into a deadly combat style.

"Why did the Emperor move to Audolf?" *Massive greenskin WAAAGH appears in the horizon* "Oh, that's why..."

It's a shame that Grom never got his own Black Library book, trilogy or omnibus (Although a single book would be too short for the tale of Grom). Although it can't be denied that most Black Library authors can struggle to write greenskins...

I just imagine this elven hero-commander-dude chewing out the Ulthuan militia: "I leave for 5 minutes to slap some b*tches in Naggaroth, and while i'm out you managed to lose the entire province of Yvresse to a fkn goblin? Do i have to do everything myself?"

Lol. "Warhammer ripped off trolls. By the way here's 'Raid Shadow Payments' with Elves!" All delivered without a hint of irony.

Mighty grom trolleater... I know tw3 has its issue but I can't wait to see the "cavalry" battle between grom and greesus

Poor Niblets.....I cant even imagine the horrors he observed. Reminds me of that one particular scene from Evolution. On a side note I was laughing so hard during that bit i may have hurt myself. Arch is a master of words.

Grom ate the troll meat voluntarily? I thought Orcs force feed him. As part of a game to tortue little goblins. Force some troll meat down their thort and see them burst.

His immensity, his enourmousty, his gargantuity grom da paunch. My favorite playable greenskins lord in total war warhammer. Thank you for making this video. Not many lore channels have very much lore on grom.

Part of me suspects Groms gut didn't just beat but recruited the Troll flesh, making him a goblin troll hybrid

Ah paunch. Almost as big as GWs hate for arch. Almost.

Dude just rolled up to Ulthuan and invaded, he's just me but fatter

This is why I like the Orks and the green skins in general. They are surrounded by sheer dumb luck of such unimaginable levels that it cannot even be hated. It’s both impressive and hilarious.

Eltharion: And I took that personally. Grom: But for me, it was Tuesday.

I can totally imagine Nibblet falling into Nurgle’s Garden, wherein Nurgle himself points in awe and bows down. “Truly this green skinned one knows the grotesque glory of rot! He has seen the foulest of abysses, and has walked out the other side with his endurance unhindered! He does not need _my_ blessing for continued existence in the face of unending pain & disgust; _I_ would ask for _his!_

Hmm, Blacktooth got strange visions and the resulting flotilla was mysteriously swept into Yvresse after Eltharion raided Naggarond? Curious that...

Arch: I hold Grom's "rear-end" up... Metaphorically speaking, of course.

Has to be the most succesful greenskin ever. Truly an inspiration to little goblins everywhere.

Hmmm, it seems Troll Regeneration has rubbed off on Grom. He wouldn't have tanked those attacks otherwise.

I love the imagery of hrords of green skins floating down the river on a loosely piled forest.

I honestly hope that, inf not officially then with mods, Grom will have a bonus to relations with the Ogres in Total War: Warhammer 3 whenever the Immortal Empires rolls out... A goblin of such girth that he could boss around Black Orcs and the only thing greater than his accomplishments as a Warboss, was his bottomless pit of a gut. If that doesn't sound like someone Ogres would have respect for, I don't know who is...

How I love these ork (or in this case goblin) stories that just go completely bat shit insane.

now DAT was proppa! wrecked up dwarfs, and humies, and elves! WAAAAAGH GROM! WAAAAAGH GROM!!!

Grom the Ponch. Never has there been a more realistic depiction of the r/Warhammer community.

I really enjoy these Ork biographies. Tuska demon Killa was a cool video too.

I loved reading about when the empire faced him in “Grimblades”

"Floating forest." Now that made me chuckle.

Always nice when Arch does fantasy lore

Love the artwork of the late great Wayne England on display during the video. Love the oldhammer vibes it gives me.

Aha. In 2403, a wounded Malekith returns to Naggarond, after casting himself into the Realm of Chaos to escape Teclis at the Battle Of Finuval Plain. In 2423, Eltharion leads a raid on Naggarond. Naggarond has concentric defences and Eltharion's raiders presumably slipped in disguised as druchii corsairs, damaging the outlying docks and slums before withdrawing. In 2424, The goblin shaman Blacktooth receives visions and advises Grom to build a large flotilla. In 2425 Grom's flotilla is mysteriously (and suspiciously) swept into Yvresse and starts damaging the warding stones. As the orcs rampage inland, a punitive druchii fleet ravages the coastline and withdraws before the Asur fleet can intervene (Dark Elf Army Book 8th Ed).

Grom is known to cancel the "goblins fear elves" rules but I'm curious... Gameplay-wise, is there any good reason for that rule (goblins fearing elves) to exist? Would it be unfair if goblins didn't fear elves? What does the rule do to make Warhammer a better or fairer game? Would greenskins vs elves games be unfair if this rule didn't exist? Etc (I genuinely want to know, I'm not just whining.)

I Get An *_Arch_* Everytime You Upload Especially When Girth Is Mentioned Within The First Seconds

I have to admit greenskins sure know how to go on a adventure.

woooooooooo lore. also "Girth"

I am currently rampaging around Total war Warhammer 2 as this guy ✌️

This is (in my opinion) the perfect description of how a Goblin would wage war. I f***ing love it.

Troll flesh breaks the laws of thermo dynamics

Arch you don't need to imagine! One of his official canon titles is ''His Immensity'' which I say do say is very classy!

Thanks for all of the hard work that you do, buddy. It's super important that the community has outspoken folks like you who keep the fandom from just completely sliding into a stupor of accepting political nonsense.

How I think the orks came to start smashing the elves stones Ork 1: Oy Ima gunna krump dis ere rock Ork 2: Youza stupid git you cant krump a bloody rock! Ork 1:Watch mez.

Aw yes, GROM DA PAUNCH! Glad to see a video on this FATASS Gobbo, certainly one of the more interesting characters added to Warhammer Total War. And the CALDRUN mechanic is certainly one of the more fun faction mechanics among the races/factions, defeat enemies to get ingredients and mix them together to get bonuses, fun stuff. Now i just want to see GROM DA PAUNCH fight GREESUS THE MORBIDLY OBEASE, the pinnacle of HEAVY WEIGHT Champions fights.

Setting up my Steam Deck to some Arch Lore. What an lovely evening.

Love to see the fantasy stuff coming back, quick question/request, can you do a video on Mathias Thulmann from the witch hunter trilogy and his entourage? The man is an absolute beast and he gets no credit from the community

He’s the Goblinaut

i love the old storys... sad we dont get stuff like that anymore

One day we will get am "it is in fact ya boi raid shadow legends!" In arch style.

Sadly we never got enough campaigns around Grom and his hordes.

local goblin inflates but refuses to explode

Love the Paunch lol! Used this guy all the time in disk wars! 😁

Haha that's funny with my stomach and digestive issues I always say I feel like my insides want to be on the outside. And I've never heard it said anywhere else till now lol Great video as always I really appreciate your hard work.

Grom's quest chain in total war is quite funny.

Glad to see you making another fantasy video focused on the Greenskins, really any fantasy video is great. Keep up the good work

“If wood floats, then boat.” Heh

Honestly, given his penchant for devouring everything he could get his corpulent hands on, Grom, I'm surprised GW didn't have Grom conscript/enslave the halflings whilst he was rampaging across the Empire. Missed opportunities...

Grom’s story is a fever dream about knocking out your bucket list.

LOL, this was really good. Truly enjoy your programs of lore. Particularly the more unusual lore. Grom makes Wah and wins. Victory feast! Oh what the heck - Grom always liked to feast anyway.

Oh yes, Archbois fantasy, love your stuff man.

And then the Wolf Riders arrived!

Great video as always, but more wazzocks! I would love to hear some more about thorek Ironbrow!

Hey great to see you're still uploading and you've managed to pick up sponsorship. It was really unfair how you were treated and I've always found your videos entertaining. Keep it up my friend.

My peace is restore everytime m'lord Arch releases an Fable fantasy video

Literally ran out of breath from laughter and amusement excellent video

The description of green-skin masonry and sculpture at 20:33 got the like from me.

I must say arch, I have been a massive fan of the channel for years, this may just be one of your very best episodes yet. Always love listening to you!

Gowsa! ..- Mhm yes some good ol’ fantasy, any chance we get some lore from the 3 emperors (?) time? ”Era” …uh the new fantasy setting that Gw hinted

" Hi, I'm Grom and you'z watchin' Doinaz, Droiv-inz and Doivez. "

I’ve listened to your content for many, many years, but this has become one of my favorite bedtime stories.

I honestly thought this was a fever dream 🤣

My first win with Orcs in TWW2 after the rework

FINALLY! I’ve been waiting for this

When body positive movement gat something done

I remember the old lore stating, that Grom entered an eating contest with a troll, and upon winning, eats the troll, wich then starts the whole regeneration thing. At least, that's how I remember it.

sry just first thought that comes to mind with the opening. "Sooo is the inquisition sponsored by RAID: Shadow Legends? Does that make raid greater in power?"

His banner should be blue if it really was the lucky one

13:12 - He should have aimed for the head

Would be nice if arch still talked about total war warhammer vids n dlc

40k background with Fantasy lore _Perfection_

Here I was getting curious of grom, awesome

So keep some trolls chained the basement and you too can start a steakhouse franchise.

GOBBOS! REJOICE!

PAUNCH!

It is only fitting that I watch this while eating.

Been a fan of yours for a while and enjoyed the video, but I would love to see more Warhammer art in your videos.

Damn. I remember when this dude was a cardboard cut out in the Warhammer boxset. Fuck I'm old.

That's quite a grot.

Grom is my favorite Orc and Goblin character by far.

love his campaign in tww2

Ad ends at 2:42

Warhammer fantasy lore is back, i am resunbed

15:00 True true sadge

Didn't Grom come a cropper at the hands of a Halfling Hotpot? Presumably he got better.

El Ogro de las Americas

Could you make the Curs'd Ettin an entry for Beasts Of The Old world at some point?

One PAUNCH man...eer gobbo.
