Recruitment[ | ]
- Recruited with: Whip of Domination quest
Description[ | ]
Like many devoted to the Blood God, Ghoritch was once a frenzied Marauder Berserker who loved the thrill of battle and the tang of fresh blood upon his tongue. He served Archaon throughout the Storm of Chaos, but the creed of his true master ran strong in his veins, causing Ghoritch to lead a foolhardy attack on an Empire artillery train despite express orders to the contrary. Though he slew a score of men that day and lived to tell the tale, Ghoritch's tribe were cut down almost to a man. For his insubordination and failure, Archaon sent him to the Master Mutators of Clan Moulder for their unholy experiments. Even shackled and bound, Throt the Unclean could see Ghoritch was of exceptional stock, singling him out for the climax of a series of experiments and successfully transplanting the Berserker’s mind into the body of a heavily modified Rat Ogre without driving him mad in the process. The resulting combination of intellect and strength was perfect for quelling rebellious troops, and it was not long before Ghoritch had worked his way up to the rank of Chieftain. Naturally, Throt is less than pleased at the meteoric rise of his creation, and he hopes to one day create something better to bring about his dangerously-ambitious Chieftain's downfall.
Attributes[ | ]
Melee Specialist- ▲ Armoured: Armoured units can block damage from any source apart from Armour-Piercing damage.
- ▲ Armour-Piercing: The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
- ▲ Anti-Infantry: Anti-infantry units have an advantage against targets that are smaller than a horse. This advantage can be a damage bonus against small targets, superior weight used to smash through lighter enemies, or an explosive attack from range that effects a large area.
- ▲ Causes Terror: This unit can cause terror, making its melee target rout for a short time. Units that cause terror are immune to terror and fear themselves.

Strategy[ | ]
Ghoritch is a strong melee fighter. He provides a deadly damage dealer that can trade efficiently against most foes. He has abilities that help him blend infantry, but he should be generally trying to beat down high value targets like lords/heroes or large armoured monsters.
