Hi.

Do anybody know of a good breakdown of the ogre army, as a guide to a new player. I am reading the 1d4 chan ta tictics but i need something else.

Make sure to have a good amount of Gnoblars, ignore BS on a 60man is stupidly good. After seeing a lot of Spells from heroes... they don't seem to good at casting, but i would still take 1 for Fleshcrave Curse, on a unit of Ironguts it could be freaking devastating. I personally like ILeadblechers/Ironguts combo with some Gnoblars and no BCR.

I didn't really look to much into the BCR part, and i have only played against them a few times with friends, but i did look over the book a lot b.c i always wanted Ogres, sadly when 3 friends picked them up at released i decided not too (good for them sad for me).

Maneaters don't seem to worth it to me, they have a good niche, but for the price and a 5+ save? Maybe if they get cheaper.

Ironblasts seems fun, can shoot, can melee, good wounds for the points, but i feel Leadbelchers are a better pick, but still viable option, keep in mind that Leadbelchers are worth more for Might Makes Right.


Thats all i have for you, hopefully someone else with a little bit more knowledge can help you, as i was looking at it from Ogres only and a way to counter KoS/FeC as well as they are for sure their weakness matchups IMO.

I see you've already found it, but for anyone else who stumbles on this thread, we have an Ogor tactics thread over on the War Council forum

I really do not want to paint gnoblars.

One of my premisses is not spending a lotvof time painting. That means easy schemes and low midel counts. 60 gnoblars is not on the list.

I like the idea of two units of 12 ogres though. Back them uo with some spells for buffing. (When I played TK in old fantasy i loved having a 'big magic turn' where I buffed all my units for a devestating turn. Having casket, worn powerstone and the khenri scroll meant en ekstra 7 to 9 powerdice to cast spells. Made for some funn and intense timing elements.)

This is about as extensive a breakdown as one can get https://youtu.be/9xwdFzhigZU
