So Im buying some ogryn tomorrow, and I just wanna know how many I should take? 6 sounds like a reasonable number, so I can shove em into a chimera and drive them across the board... What do you guys think?

Btw...2000 points

i love ogryns. I run them whenever i can.

Dont expect them to survive much. Their armor is crap and they will be shot to hell quickly. And they are pretty expensive with no upgrades available.

When i do run them in large fun games i toss a squad of 5 with yarrick in a chimera and rush them into CC quick as you can. They will kill a lot if they make it .

I'm about to start running ogryn next week, and I'm starting with 6. They have a strange points value that's hard to fit into stuff... unless you take 6, in which case they cost 250 points. It's almost like they were designed for taking 6.

I mean, I don't know if I'd take many less, or there's not enough survivability, and I don't know if I'd take more, due to problems with tarpitting. Of course, I'll know more for sure once I've fielded them some, but I don't think 6 is a terrible place to start...

I dont expect them to do much, I just love the fluff... also, I look forward to another of your great battle reports Ailaros.
