The Worlds Edge Mountains and the Badlands - Total War: Warhammer 2
These are In engine shots taken from Total War: Warhammer 2 - Mortal Empires Campaign map.
They include the Worlds Edge Mountains. the greatest range of mountains in the old world and heart of the great dwarf empire of ancient days. Between the Worlds Edge Mountains and the Black Gulf is the desolate region of barren rock, arid plains and searing desert known as the Badlands. Safe travel in the Badlands is impossible for this region harbours the largest concentration of Greenskin tribes outside of the Darklands.
Tasks in which I contributed included asset creation (mountains, ship models, city peices.etc), terrain textures, prefab decoration (city decoration and general assets), lighting and map decoration.

Karak Kadrin commonly known as "Slayer Keep" is a Dwarf stronghold which guards Peak Pass, an important trading route which runs through the Worlds Edge Mountains from the distant east to the Old World.
Karaz-a-Karak, which translates roughly as Everpeak, or the Pinnacle of Mountain is the Dwarf capital city and High King Thorgrim Grudgebearer's seat of power. This is the mightiest, most populous of all Dwarf cities, and has never fallen to an invader.
Zhufbar is built into a deep chasm worn over time from a torrential waterfall that cascades down through its centre. The sound of thousands of grinding water wheels, wheezing bellows and pounding drop hammers echoes off nearby peaks.
The mountains are said to be the main barrier for any race to cross if they are to invade the lands of the west, such as the Old World and Araby. It is also the strongest barrier for the Greenskins of the Dark Lands and beyond from invading the Empire.
Without any proper leadership, the tribes of the Badlands are scattered and divided, and until the time comes when a Warlord of great strength and cunning can unite them, the Badlands will only be a region of constant and bloody warfare.
"What fools we were. In pride we built Eight Peaks, sure of our mastery of stone and the dark beneath the world. Yet even as we built the city, the seeds of its doom were planted. "
—Gotrek Gurnnison, former inhabitant of Eight Peaks
The Marshes of Madness are avoided by all but the desperate. It is a realm of the Undead and a remnant of a past civilisation, forever cursed when the Crown of Sorcery was discovered on the banks of the Blind River.
"All Imperial soldiers are to consider it their solemn duty not only to slaughter the Orcs when encountered, but also to topple all Orcish statues, lest we leave a worse threat behind us." - Standing order of the Army of Wissenland
