Warhammer: The Gorrum Empire
Contact The Old Sage

Core Units are the most common warriors in the army.  There is a minimum number of Core Units that must be fielded, and this varies with the size of the army (see "Armies of The Gorrum Empire").

There is no maximum limit on the number of Core Units that can be fielded.

On this page are listed the basic regiments of the Gorrum Empire.  They are the most numerous units, forming the bulk of the Gorrum Empire armies.
