Azhag the Slaughterer

is a Legendary Lord introduced in Total War: Warhammer.
In The Total Waaagh! Update for Total War: Warhammer II, he was given his own faction, the , and moved to the Northern Worlds Edge Mountains.
== 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).
Azhag also has an unique building chain in the Nagashizzar settlement, rather than the generic chain.
