Hello, are there any ogre females? I was thinking about converting up a female ogre samurai. I have been wanting to do some oriental converting for a while, especialy the helmets. And then it hit me, where are all the famle ogres? I mean, I do supose they exist?

Yes, this is an official Maneater model. beard is optional.

I always thought that was a man wearing drag.

Nope, although you could be forgiven. The entire army does have Manboobies.

I do not support Mustache on Mustache violence.

Whatever do you mean good sir?

Who was condoning this maltreatment of facial adornments?

Just saying when I get the model I will omit the beard. I don't want to visualize that mashing face with a Fu Manchu

Essentially, there's no difference between the males and females in the society. The bigger and better devourers still rule.

Almost correct. Tyrants are always male.

True enough, but there's been no indication of the fluff as to that is being enforced as a gender thing and more as the males are naturally strong and hungry enough to keep the position. Rather then like say..Brettonia where the Females are always damsels, and no female knights and lords exist due to the land ownership laws. So it could potentially happen in some tribe someday.

Potentially I am sure. Afterall Might makes Right. If a female beats her way to the top nobody is going to question her because of her gender.

I just assume that since the Tyrant's fluff says its the "Dominate Male ogre of the tribe" that to date there hasn't been one single female Tyrant.

It could just be a figure of speach GT. I would imagine a Tyrant caled the broodmother would be nice. Also, while she is pregnant I would imagine the impact hit would be mean. (Her kids would perhaps be a bit dim.)

The current codex has this bit of fluff for Tyrants.

"Tribe Leaders are known as Tyrants and are the biggest and most dominant individuals."

While under the actual Tyrant listing

"Ogres call the leaders of their tribes Tyrants and it is easy to see why. Tyrants are the biggest and strongest individuals in a hulking race that prides itself on these physical features."

Then goes on with a few "He" related pronouns, then the Dominant Male of the tribe quote

So yeah, likely enough that there hasn't been a full female tyrant yet. Though the indication of a female maneater or two maybe shows they prefer to be Abroad rather then at home, and can still beat the utter crud out of anything that gets in their way of Food, Fun, and Profit.
