Kickstarter Exclusive 5th Army They say everything is good to eat in a pig... It's probably true, unless said pig is trying to chop off your head with a blade the size of a windmill sail! A Kickstarter army is also going to try and conquer the hill. Uuiiiiii! Pigs are rising and they are angry! They are tired to be smoked, roasted and eaten. Now, they choose you to be the meat! Welcome to a nice BBQ human/orc/goblin/dwarf ribs. The only one to have a chance to not be eaten are the undead, because, even if everybody says pigs can eat everything, dead flesh is still disgusting!
