The Goroscream Forces is a militia created by the troll hunter Guénon to fight the Scourge in the name of the Horde, lately, the faction dedicated itself in fighting the Alliance, such switch in objectives caused it's downfall.
Initially, it was called Guénon's Forces, and was dedicated to free Borean Tundra from Kel'Thuzad's presence and his undead legions, but the militia almost met demise.

History
War against the Lich King
Borean Terror
See:Borean Terror
Guénon and other adventurers of the Horde received information that Kel'Thuzad was assembling a huge Scourge army at Borean Tundra, to prevent this, they united themselves under the troll hunter's leadership, after hiring some volunteers, such as the servants of the Barov Family from the Eastern Kingdoms -Alexi Barov was in debt with Guénon- and some Timbermaw Furbolgs, a militia force was created, which Guénon personally called Guénon's Forces.
After weeks of preparations in secret, they launched their attack against the Scourge army in Borean Tundra. This conflict was a massacre, and Guénon's Forces were utterly destroyed in the end, most of their members turned into mindless zombies of the Scourge.
Even with the surprise backup from the Netherwing couple Horzinaku and Yoza, Kel'Thuzad emerged victorious, and Horzinaku was killed and then consumed by the risen members of Guénon's Forces.
At Warsong Hold, Guénon refounded the Guénon's Forces alongside Yoza, Kredo the Ghost Furbolg Shaman, Gorossauro and Gorescream.
Rise the Goroscream
Guénon refounded Guénon's Forces with a single purpose: to better serve the Horde in a independent way and to bring those who suffered around Azeroth a new home and life within the Horde. Thus, Guénon set out in a journey around all of Azeroth, seeking members to recruit.
At Stranglethorn Vale, Guénon met several jungle trolls who were exiled from their tribes and were now living a precarious life, among them the warlock Bonehook. Guénon promised to aid them with healing of wounds and shelter if they joined his forces, the jungle trolls were so grateful that they embraced Guénon's cause.
Guénon stumbled upon a considerable-sized group of Forest trolls during walks around Lordaeron, these forest trolls were expelled from the Amani tribe many years ago and now lived together so that they can survive, among them was the rogue Jo'ao. After a long discussion among the members of the group, the exiled forest trolls decided to join Guénon's Goroscream Forces.
At Tirisfal Glades, Guénon asked for financial support from Alexi Barov, who gave him money and servants to build the faction's stronghold, thus, in no time the stronghold was built somewhere in the Western Plaguelands, Guénon named it Goroscream Hold.
Meanwhile, at Kalimdor, Kredo visited Azshara and Felwood to see how his people were doing, and during his visit to Timbermaw Hold, Gorn One Eye mentioned in secret that the Horde was interessed in acquiring Furbolg allies and made several attempts to communicate with them, he asked Kredo -who was a wise spirit- what should he do. Kredo saw the perfect opportunity to bring the power of his people to him, and told Gorn to secretly spare some Timbermaw to join the ranks of the Horde, One Eye did so. As he left Felwood, Kredo and his furbolgs were surprised by a huge amount of defectors from the Deadwood tribe, these furbolgs considered their corruption a disease and they wanted his pure brethen to guide them to a new future, opportunistic, the ghost furbolg recruited the defectors.
Guénon attempted to recruit the Dreadmaul tribe into his forces, but failed, however, he found a Fel Orc walking around the Blasted Lands, Guénon prepared to attack him but he said he was a mercenary, this fel orc mercenary was Kortoh Stripribs, now no longer a member of the Dragonmaw Clan. Neither Guénon nor Kortoh remembered each other -it was Kortoh who ambushed Guénon's captors and sent him to the prison of Dragonmaw Fortress- and thus the troll hunter hired his help, Kortoh was to train the warriors and rogues recruits of the militia. The news of Kortoh joining a Horde-aligned faction reached Outland, and many fel orcs who wanted to be accepted by his former brethen left the planet seeking the group that accepted Stripribs, they eventually found Guénon and the troll hunter accepted them, many Netherwing drakes were brought by those fel orcs that came from the Dragonmaw Clan.
His forces grew much more than he expected, renamed it the Goroscream Forces and declared that their activities have begun. Meanwhile, the Nexus War started but the Goroscream Forces weren't ready yet, Guénon still had to organize his forces in order to go to Northrend. Thus, Guénon decided to send Bonehook the warlock to represent the Goroscream in that war.
Shortly after the end of the Nexus War, the Goroscream Forces were finally ready to advance to Northrend. After leaving a portion of their manpower at the Western Plaguelands to protect Goroscream Hold, the Goroscream Forces advanced to Northrend to join the War against the Lich King.
Guénon and his Goroscream played minor roles in every battle against the Scourge that the Horde was involved, with a few exceptionsm, where their participation was more decisive...
The Battle for the Undercity
After the events of the The Battle for the Undercity, several Forsaken began to share the same distrust that the rest of the Horde had against their kind, these undead sensed that something changed in the Banshee Queen and thus they defected, but they couldn't serve the Warchief directly because he didn't fully trust them, and thus they joined the Goroscream Forces.
The Siege of Naxxramas
After several battles against the undead, Guénon heard that the Alliance was preparing to lay siege on Naxxramas, while the Horde was ready to attack Azjol-Nerub. Although the Goroscream was to aid the Horde, Guénon wished to help the Alliance, so that he could have his revenge against Kel'Thuzad. To grant Goroscream participation against Azjol-Nerub and attack Naxxramas, Guénon left Kredo in charge of the advance against Anub'arak at the main section of Azjol-Nerub and the Twilight's Hammer at the Old Kingdom, while he, Yoza, Gorossauro and Gorescream, attacked Naxxramas alongside the Alliance.
The adventurers from the Alliance -under the banner of the 7th Legion- were almost ready to invade Naxxramas when Guénon landed with his small team, at first, a human priest, Brother Michael, rejected Guénon, stating that they had no time to lose with Horde "whelps". Guénon, although indignated, said that he was there to help and that he had important matters to settle with Kel'Thuzad.
After some time pondering, the Alliance accepted the troll and his companions in their ranks. Guénon and the Alliance adventurers attacked Naxxramas with energy, hours and hours spent destroying quarter after quarter, until the path to Sapphiron's Lair was open.
Not even the frostwyrm's might was able to stop the strength of the combined might of the adventurers, mainly Guénon's shots and Michael's magic, and the path to Kel'Thuzad was finally revealed.
The adventurers were finally face-to-face with the Archlich, Guénon picked up his gun and pointed it to Kel'Thuzad. Yoza roared with anger, both her and the troll were ready to have their revenge against Kel.
Kel'Thuzad didn't even rememeber who Guénon or Yoza were, and laughed at them, Michael Saintangel started charging a 
[Smite] spell, but was frozen by the Archlich.
Kel'Thuzad attacked the whole raid with a Shadow Fissure, consuming half of the Alliance's forces in darkness and killing them, with exception of Michael, because he was inside an icy prison and was free because it was consumed by the fissure. Michael and Guénon started running around Kel's room and attacking him with everything they could, Gorossauro climbed on Kel'Thuzad's back and started slashing him, part of the Lich's corporeal form started to collapse because of Gorescream's Acid Spit and burn because of Yoza's flame. Meanwhile, the remaining Alliance adventurers hit Kel'Thuzad with all their weapons and spells.
This time, Kel'Thuzad was fighting an entire army by himself, with Guénon laughing at him for the Archlich was facing a similar situation the troll had back at Borean Tundra, Guénon's laugh angered Kel, and he unleashed a strong ice spell, which frozen every single soldier in his room.
Michael repelled the ice encasing with 
[Power Word: Shield] and dispelled the prisons at his partners as fast as he could. Kel'Thuzad, angered by the Priest's persistence, pierced the human's chest with one of his chains, before dying, Michael dispelled Guénon's icy prison and used a mighty healing spell using his remaining forces, making Kel'Thuzad's freezing fury in vain.
The lich was angry and desperated, so he decided to raise every killed men into undead, he succeeded, in a matter of seconds, the Alliance had to fight their former "brothers" alongside the Scourge's Archlich.
Guénon and Yoza remembered when the members from Guénon's Forces were risen as undead and started consuming Horzinaku, these memories made both troll and drake enraged and stronger. Gorescream used her Acid Spit to corrode the icy prison encasing her, while Gorossauro destroyed his prison with his blood-hungry claws.
The battle proceeded, with the Alliance in disadvantage, every men killed represented one more Scourge zombie to fight.
Guénon, used his 
[Volley] shot and destroyed a large group, Gorescream entangled the Scourge around her with her mighty body, while Gorossauro cut the zombies' bodies with a hit-and-run tactic.
Thinking that the party should end, Kel'Thuzad used another Shadow Fissure, this one killing every single member of the raid, Guénon, his friends and the Alliance adventurers met demise...if not for one thing:
Michael's corpse woke up later than the others, now undead, he protected himself with another [Power Word: Shield] -blocking Kel'Thuzad's offensives against him- and revived as many Alliance soldiers as he could.
Michael, although revived, wasn't under Kel'Thuzad's control, so he ressurected Guénon and escaped using a hearthstone before he fell to the lich's undead mind-controlling powers and became the raid's latest enemy.
Guénon then ressurected his pets, but none of the risen soldiers were able to revive Yoza.
Feeling the pain of another loss to the Scourge, Guénon enraged even more, he began to put as many bombs and bullets as he could inside his gun, preparing the ultimate shot.
Meanwhile, the Alliance and Guénon's pets started fighting Kel'Thuzad again, buying time for the troll hunter to prepare his attack.
After considerable time, Guénon's gun was ready to shoot, so he fired the strongest 
[Explosive Shot] that anyone there has ever saw. All the bullets and explosives inserted were fired at the same time and the chain reaction of explosions that hit Kel'Thuzad was so strong, that his corporeal form was completely destroyed, he disappeared with a final cry of pain, vowing that the Lich King would present all those who fought him with their graves.
The battle was finally over, Guénon had his revenge, the Alliance defeated Kel'Thuzad. After giving a long hug in his pets and crying for such an important victory, Guénon proceeded to see Yoza's corpse...
The Alliance survivors, in retribution for Guénon's help, aided him in transporting her corpse to the Path of the Titans, where she was buried.
After a ceremony in her honor, a gnome gave Guénon a Flying Machine, so they could fly back to their base, and so they did.
Weeks later, a Scourge Expedition found Yoza's corpse and raised it's corporeal half as a frost wyrm.
From that point on, Guénon and the Goroscream Forces wouldn't play any relevant role in the war until the final battle.
Zalazane's Fall
As Guénon and his forces prepared to leave Northrend at Vengeance Landing, Kredo found a poster talking about the recovery of the Echo Isles. The furbolg called his attention, and after analyzing the poster, flashes of his life as a barbarian troll at the isles came to his head. Mainly the day he had to leave the island because of Zalazane's Hexed Trolls. Guénon was also in debt with the Darkspear Tribe, after all, it was thanks to them that he met life-in-society, so the troll strongly felt he needed to participate in that battle.
Guénon took Gorossauro and ordered Kredo and Yoza to watch over Goroscream Hold while he didn't return.
When the battle was finally over, Guénon helped the Darkspear in building their new home at the Echo Isles, and left.
Cataclysm
The Fall of Goroscream
After the fall of the Zalazane, Guénon returned to Goroscream Hold at Western Plaguelands. Once he received news that the Horde had a new warchief, the troll travelled to Orgrimmar to see what plans Garrosh Hellscream had for the faction. Though neither Guénon nor Garrosh saw each other during the troll's stay at the Orcish capital, Guénon found out that Hellscream had expansionist plans for the Horde.
With this in mind, Guénon devised a plan to ensure Horde domination at northern Eastern Kingdoms, so that he could ensure that Garrosh wouldn't mess with the Goroscream's exisence.
The Goroscream advanced and claimed the Alliance-Argent Crusade base of Chillwind Camp for the Horde, later, he gave reinforcements for the Forsaken assaulting Southshore, and conquered several other Alliance bases.
The Alliance soon heard about it and prepared a counteroffensive, since those "Horde" attacks didn't have Hellscream's authorization, the warchief sent Eitrigg and Horde agents to aid the Alliance Counteroffensive, and thus, the Goroscream Wars started. The Alliance's counterattack was massive and the Goroscream Forces met several defeats and the battle was taken to Goroscream Hold. The Goroscream Forces resisted valiantly against the Alliance but they were utterly destroyed, Yoza died, Gorescream died, Kortoh was sent to the Stormwind Stockades...the only survivors were Guénon and Gorossauro, the troll almost collapsed when he saw what had become of his militia, but Kredo's words managed to calm him down a bit and give him a new mission: to join the ranks of the Darkspear Trolls and help Vol'jin in preventing the Horde from collapsing thanks for the tension risen by Garrosh. With Gorossauro in his arms, Guénon departed for his new journey, and Kredo finally managed to rest in peace, going to the Spirit World.
Guénon's return to the Horde
The Horde Agents left the Alliance Counteroffensive before they could reach Goroscream Hold, so Guénon was unaware that his own warchief gave support to his militia's demise, this made him accept his new journey. Since he covered his face with a 
[Snowserpent Mail Helm] during the Goroscream Showdown, there was no way to recognize him without the helmet.
The troll hunter and his Bloodtalon Raptor made their first stop at Orgrimmar, he saluted the Warchief at Grommash Hold and pledged his services to the Horde, only to be driven out by the Kor'kron Elite Guard under Hellscream's orders, because he was a troll. Angry at his new warchief and not believing that he fought so hard in an allout war to please "a bastard Brown Abomination", Guénon and Gorossauro went directly to the Sen'jin Village, he was greeted by Zjolnir, the only one who remembered him. After spending some time talking about a part of his adventures to Zjolnir, both trolls went to the Echo Isles, so Guénon could formally introduce himself to Vol'jin. The Shadow Hunter distrusted Guénon at first for he thought he came from nowhere and couldn't remember him as a Darkspear troll, but Zjolnir told the Darkspear chieftain how he found Guénon in the day of Zalazane's revolt.
Vol'jin felt pity of Guénon for all he passed in that time and praised Zjolnir for what he did, the troll chieftain quickly remembered the day that Guénon brought some of his Goroscream to help the Darkspear Trolls during Zalazane's Fall, and as a mean to give his thanks to the hunter, Vol'jin accepted Guénon as an official member of the Darkspear tribe, even giving him a new outfit and a bow for him to use during the battles to come.
