Thunderlord and Bonechewer is the third mission of the Horde campaign in Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal.

Mission briefing

Ner'zhul has met with opposition to his plans from the leaders of both the Thunderlord and Bonechewer clans. They desire to journey to Azeroth and have their clans triumph where Doomhammer had failed. This is a vision not shared by your Warchief...
