Hey everyone. I'm a 40k player switching over to fantasy. I was trying to decide between ogres or high elves. The aesthetics of the high elves looks really nice to me, but I like the low model count of the ogres. Anyone have any advice

High Elves are also a low model count army (Warhammer has a FAR higher model count than 40K anyway). High Elves are also far better as a gaming army they can basically do anything and fight anyone. Ogre Kingdoms are one of the worst armys in the game and when you add Gnoblars the model count sky rockets.

"But me no buts! Our comrades get hurt. Our friends die. Falkenburg is a knight who swore an oath to serve the church and to defend the weak. He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.

I recommend HEs if you want to be able to win, however if you're playing for fun, Ogres seem to be as fun army, even more funny prehaps?

Win/Draw/Lost statics
Space Orks: 11/1/1
Space Marines: 10/2/5
Lizardmen: 8/2/3
High Elves: 13/2/2 and one tournament victory!
Dark Eldar: 1/0/0

If you like the aesthetics of HE, Ogres seem to be the opposite imho. So that's something to consider... however I think it would be awesome to go for Ogres! There's a new ruleset for fantasy coming out and, who knows, maybe they'll be more viable for it
