Ogre Kingdoms... Just curious

[CylonDorado]

So, I was once again considering getting into Warhammer fantasy battles, and one of the armies that caught my attention was ogres. An army of few high toughness units seems like a very () different play style to my current 40k armies (Eldar and Tyranids).

I've been hearing a lot about under/over powered army books, and I was wondering what people thought about this faction.

Hmmm all i know about them is that they are dang fast, 3wounds each and cause fear.

[Elaitor]

They are big.
They like to eat, and they like to smash things.

Seriously, I have never seen anyone play them, I've only seen the army box on sale (apparently nobody is interested); the units however look cool, and fluff-wise they are almost as funny as orks and goblins.

[pocketsizednid]

its one of those scalpel armies, i've played them in some small games. After im done with my chaos warriors ill start ogres

[ZergLord]

Hm, I've heard that they are a bit underpowered... But they're cool.

[The Custodian]

Ive heard opposite, The regular ogre player hear wouldnt dream of taking his army to a tourny, its more for (please do not swear) and gigles than a serious army...

[Redwax]

Ogres are my next army coz i want as far as opposite army from my current elves and if i have them they can be used together. From what i'm seen they have some decent items and gut magic can be a bugger. I am going to just use them as my fun armycoz they concist of a small number of models so i can really go to town on all of them without repeating myself. (Braveheart ogres)

BOOMER!!!

That's it. I'm sold. I don't really need a serious army at the moment anyway. Hell, by the time I actually scrounge up the funds for a battalion, they'll probably have an OP new army book anyway (most likly a slight exageration, lol ).

But then again, I still kind of like Lizardmen...

[genestealer1414]

yeah im starting to use lizardmen. if you wanna play serioulsy use them, but otherwise use ogres.

[Psychichobo]

I've started Ogres. It's pretty fun, thuogh you're not top-tier. Having said that, you can often avoid enemy magic by being fast enough to get into combat on time. Shame about the Worst Weapon Skill Ever.

Also, the magic is designed to draw out dispel dice more than anything. A lot of people think it's naff because there's no mega-doom spell, but two wizards alone can churn out a ton of spells cast on one dice that really makes dispelling difficult. Also, the wizards are 3 wounds toughness 5! It's wonderful to not have to worry about some paper-thin old guy getting swatted away by a goblin or something.

[Zemox]

so true the goblin would get squashed, but i think they should increase the WS of the ogres to 4 and make the standard S and T 5. I mean seriusley, the white lions are as strong as they are and the white lions are about the size of the arm of say a bull.

[CylonDorado]

Well, I heard they were making Ogryns toughness 5, so maybe there's hope . But if they have that high of a strenth I think it's only fair that they have low weapon skill.

Best quote ever!! I don't care what you argue just no this is the best.
