By the year 40,001 Gnomekind has spread across the surface of the planet - their awesome steam fueled mega-cities stand as a testament to Gnomekind’s place as the dominant race on the planet*.
The monolithic Onyx Dynasty** unites the nations of the north under one banner***, bringing technological advancement and a better life for all****.
To the south, the scattered peoples of the nations of the Barron-Gnomes+ live a nomadic life fraught with danger++. Gnomekind’s expansion has taken a devastating toll on natural resources+++ and nowhere is it more evident than in the south. The Barron-Gnomes cast envious eyes towards the lands of the Onyx Dynasty and the now infamous battle cry echoes across the blasted plains separating the north from the south:
“SOD THIS, LETS FIGHT!”
…and so the Gnomemecha - great lumbering machines of iron, steam and flame now thunder across the plains driven by steadfast heroes++++ from both north and south, to do battle in the great war of our time
This isn’t just a war about differences between nations, this isn’t just a war about resources+++++:
This is a war that lets you strap yourself into a 20 foot tall lumbering mass of metal, gears, steam pipes and pistons built around a high pressure explosive engine core and then go and pound the living crap out of a Gnome who richly deserves it.
…..and if you’re really lucky, you’ll stumble across some of those greenskin ‘tree hugger’ bast**ds and get to pound the living crap out of them too.
* also, our skin isn’t green, you can’t be dominant and green, stands to reason
** “the man”
*** in a purely friendly, tree hugging way of course
**** in charge
+ or Big Guns, as we affectionately call them
++ bloody greenskin “environmentalists”
+++ we ran out of doughnuts months ago
++++ argumentative, often inebriated bunch of overweight pixies that they are
+++++ it could be argued that its a war about doughnuts
