All Giants are monstrous humanoids, as tall and strong as ten men. The only thing they love more than alcohol is battle, and they are almost always drunk, fighting or both. Giants are loud, coarse, violent and often stupid, but they are able to lay waste to whole regiments when the mood takes them, smashing foes with fists and crude clubs and crushing them beneath their massive feet.

Giants are encountered far more frequently in the north than in other areas of the Old World. They are more fond of the cold, rocky climes of the Troll Country and Norsca than they are of the forests of the Empire. Although they will occasionally descend from lairs in the Worlds Edge or Middle Mountains to join bands of Orcs or Beastmen, it is far more usual to encounter them raiding from the north, either alone or with warbands of fellow marauders. There is little besides the thrill of combat and vast barrels of ale that a Giant requires from a Champion of Chaos whose band he joins, and as long as enough livestock and villagers can be found to feed the Giant without recourse to him devouring other members of the warband, he will be welcomed in any Chaos army.

Some Giants, especially those who make their homes far to the north where Norsca begins to give way to the Chaos Wastes, are warped still further by the power of Chaos. The mutations caused by the influence of the Dark Powers are even more terrifying when displayed by such monstrous creatures, and Giants moulded by Chaos into even more fearsome shapes can turn the bravest warrior to flight.
