In all BL novels Ogryns play very little role. I would kill for a novel about Nork Deddog but till now Ogryn fans must live with what we get. If you want good=fluffy description of Ogryn then I recommend First Word Bearers novel and Priests of Mars.

See Thogg. See Thogg run.
Run, Thogg, run.
See Thogg find Heavy Bolter.
Shoot, Thogg, shoot.
Cleanse, Thogg, cleanse.

It is best to be a pessimist. You are usually right and, when you're wrong, you're pleasantly surprised. |

His Last Command has an Ogryn as a primary character..kind of. I mean a Chaos one...that's had its body and mind reworked. Ogryns aren't intelligent enough for a Black Library author to competently cover, ie its too off the wall for them. It'd be an entire story about a mentally deficit soldier really. =/

Sigh... I never said a novel with the ogryn as the narrator. I said a novel that deals with ogryns.

You have to realize that, outside of the few with the Bonehead Implants, Ogryns are dumb as a bag of hammers. This makes for a comical, if not entirely interesting, protagonist. Outside of their role as heavy infantry units in the IG, there's not much to recommend the Ogryn to the wider Imperium.
