The seclusion of the High Elves and the basically maritime nature of the Sea Elves also made it inessential to have a large army. The Elves have never been a very militaristic nation, preferring to raise impromtu armies of citizens rather than keep a large standing army. RR10 вЂ“ ElwingвЂ™s Elven Guard Cavalry (December 1984) Here it is a вЂњfabulously rich cityвЂќ, rather than a trading town in the Grey Mountains. Helmgart is another later settlement making its first appearance. The presence of half orcs among its population seems to imply it was a frontier town. At this stage, however, it is not a major city in the southern Empire, but вЂњa townвЂќ lying вЂњon the borders of the Old WorldвЂќ.

This is the first mention of Nuln in Warhammer. вЂ“ вЂThe Story of Mudat BrokenboneвЂ™ (RR9 MudatвЂ™s Half-Orc Mercenaries) With two clients and the resources of two waring kingdoms at his disposal, Mudat managed to keep the siege going for almost 2 years without actually striking a single blow. Their leader slain, the Tonayls dispersed into the wilderness under the command of the company Champion and paymaster Earwangle.Д«attlecry вЂ“ The battlecry of this famous Regiment is вЂњOnly for the MoneyвЂќ.Дeeds вЂ“ Mudat Brokenbone was to rise to fame (and fortune) by being both the defender and attacker of the fabulously rich city of Helmgart. However, during the battle of Gonnear, after changing sides for the third time that day, Mudat was crushed by the infamous Goblin general Grom, вЂThe Paunch of Misty MountainвЂќ. Proving themselves to be unreliable and unscrupulous mercenaries in the best Half-Orc tradition. The Tonayls wandered the borders of the Dark Lands fighting in a number of wars for both Orc and Human paymasters. Resistance soon crumbled and the body of the unfortunate town champion was impaled on a pole, later becoming the regimental standard. With his warhammer in his hand and revenge on his mind, he led the Tonayl horde against the town of Nuln. After spending several years organising the Half-Orc Tonayl tribe (most of whom had turned to cattle rustling and ambushing travellers), Mudat put his new army into operation. It was general anti-Goblinoid feeling, coupled with religious mania that resulted in the banishment of the Half-Orc population from Nuln, one of the Human settlements on the borders of the Old World. RR9 вЂ“ MudatвЂ™s Half-Orc Mercenaries (December 1984) A further ten Regiments of Renown were produced between December 1984 and August 1985.

The series continued to shape the world of WFB2. In WFB1 the Regiments of Renown miniatures box sets had played an important role in defining and describing the setting (see part XII).
