Azhag the Slaughterer

Azhag the Slaughterer is a Greenskins Legendary Lord introduced in Total War: Warhammer. In The Total Waaagh! Update for Total War: Warhammer II, he was given his own faction, the Bonerattlaz, and moved to the Northern Worlds Edge Mountains. Nobody knows what the crown is or where it is from, but through it Azhag gains clairvoyance and power.

In the campaign, he leads the Bonerattlaz faction.

Description
Azhag is a threat like no other. What makes Azhag so unusual is his ominous iron crown, which emanates pure, ancient evil. It is this crown, a relic of olden days, which grants Azhag sorcerous powers and a sinister council beyond the comprehension of any Greenskin. This evil combination of Orcish brute-strength and a brilliant, if completely malevolent, ability to grasp far-seeing strategy makes for a deadly combination.

Strategy
Azhag is notable for being able to cast spells from the Lore of Death, something that the Greenskins do not have access to otherwise besides the River Troll Hag hero. Given the powerful spells in this lore, such as Spirit Leech and Fate of Bjuna, it gives the Greenskins a way to aggressively lord snipe and damage high value units like Blood Knights or Har Ganeth Executioners. Azhag is also the only Greenskin Legendary Lord with a flying mount, affording him extra mobility compared to other options (Warbosses also have access to a Wyvern mount, but lack Azhag's spellcasting).
