Winter Wolf

I was reading through the Darklands and while looking at the excellent Giak regiment information on page 107, I realised that I had seen it before. I'm not sure if it has appeared anywhere else but it did show up in the first ever Citadel Journal from September 1984.
There are two pages written by Joe Dever and Gary Chalk to support the release of the Citadel Lone Wolf miniature range and it detailed the same nine giak regiments. So I guess that they must have come straight out of Joe's notes. In addition there is a giak army structure.
3 Giak Warriors = 1 Kezneg (squad)
4 Kezneg = 1Nadarog (company)
3 Nadarogs = 1 D'Orgar (regiment)
3 D'Orgar = 1 Zegorim (battalion)
3 Zegorim = 1 Orgar (army group)
Specialist troops such as Doomwolf riders are generally grouped together into separate units known as 'Gogozim' meaning twenties.
The article also contains first or second edition rules for using Giaks and Gourgaz in games of warhammer. Some of the rules are quite entertaining and obviously designed around goblins for the giaks as it has them fearing elves (elves Magnamund) and hating dwarves but also nudniks, and who can blame them "oh get off my money pouch you thieving sewer rat!" Giaks are also subject to frenzy when lead by a Gourgaz.
Finally the Journal contains all of the minis released by citadel including, Bandit, Guardsmen, Giak, Young Thaumaturgist, Lone Wolf, Vonatar, Helghast, Vordak, Nidnuks and all at 60p each ah twenty years of inflation.
The Giak Attack boxed set is also pictured and includes a gourgaz, a giak with banner, two with sword and shield, one with a bow, one with a spear and shield and one with a two handed sword. There is also a mini of a mounted Prince Pelathar. £5.50
Just thought I'd share that. The army structure at least should be useful and the rest has a certain nostalgia value.
