The few surviving Skytitans fled the lands of the Ancient Giant Holds. The once-flourishing herds of Mammoths which roamed the lands were mercilessly hunted by their new Ogre overlords. The Skytitans' children were taken and beaten into submission, becoming the Slavegiants of many Ogre tribes. One by one, the Skytitans fell, and soon their great civilisation was nothing more than ruins. However, they could not match the numbers of the Ogres, and like a pack of wolves taking down a bear, the Ogres crushed the Skytitan race, breaking down the great masonry of their soaring mountain fortresses and hurling them to the lands below. The Skytitans fought this smaller monstrous race with tremendous ferocity and massive strength. Eventually, the Ogres reached the Mountains and it was there where the great war known as the " War in the Sky" began between the Ogres and the Skytitans. Both fearing and worshipping the Great Maw, the Ogre race sought a new homeland to call their own. The Ogres came to the mountains of the Ancient Giant Lands after their own mountainous homeland was destroyed by the fall to earth of the meteorite that became the Great Maw, a malevolent entity that supposedly obliterated much of the Eastern Steppes and killed a large portion of the Ogre population. As with all things, however, this peace was destined to end, and the Skytitans were eventually destroyed by the destructive migration of the Ogre race. For the most part, they only ventured from their fastnesses to tend to their flocks of Mammoths, aloof from the conflict of the mortal world below. Unlike the Giants, the Skytitans didn't interfere with the lands below instead, they kept to themselves, secure in their ancient fortresses surrounded by a sea of clouds. They were far larger than any Giants of today, and were also considerably more intelligent. In ages past, the Giants were the direct descendants of the Skytitan civilisation, who ruled benevolently within the highest peaks of the Mountains of Mourn. Giants, like so many other intelligent species of the Known World, are the creations of the Old Ones, designed to protect their treasures and secrets.

To keep a Giant within a tribe, the Greenskins often have to regularly feed him considerable amounts of food, as should the Giant become too hungry, he will usually wander off into the wilderness and never return. įor their part, Giants are quite happy to join an army of Greenskins, as it would significantly increase their chances of eating regularly and getting their hands on plunder and strong liquor. As such, many Greenskin tribes would often fight each other over the possession of a Giant. To most Greenskins, a Giant is a bellowing, cursing display of raw might, ruthless aggression and mindless savagery - traits that are highly respected and sought-after within Greenskin society. On occasion, a Giant will be persuaded to join a passing army, often that of Chaos-worshipping Men from the north or marauding Greenskin Tribes, who lure the lummoxes with promises of fighting and food.
