Alright, Warhammer enthusiasts, buckle up because we’re diving into the gnarly world of the Ogor Mawtribes from the Mortal Realms! These hulking brutes are all about survival of the fittest, and believe me, they’re convinced they’re the fittest. Let’s break it down:
The Gutbusters and Beastclaw Raiders
The Ogors are split into two main groups: the Gutbuster warglutts and the Beastclaw Raiders. These massive, insatiable warriors see everything and everyone as a potential meal. Gutbusters are tribal gatherings that roam in circular migrations called Mawpaths, devouring everything in sight and dragging the leftovers back to their feasting halls. Meanwhile, the Beastclaw Raiders are nomadic hunters riding mighty beasts, always on the move to escape the supernatural Everwinter that follows them.
Warglutts: The Ravaging Horde
Warglutts range from small bands of scavengers to massive warhosts capable of flattening cities. They’re led by Tyrants with iron-fisted authority, and their spiritual leaders, the Butchers and Slaughtermasters, perform gruesome rituals to summon mawpits and empower their warriors. These guys are all about battle, often selling their services as mercenaries – though they tend to view weaker allies as future meals.
Beastclaw Raiders: The Nomadic Warriors
The Beastclaw Raiders ride into battle on powerful creatures like Stonehorns and Thundertusks, using their bond with the Everwinter to unleash devastating blizzards. These tribes are always on the move, fighting to stay ahead of the magical storms that pursue them.
Battle Traits and Abilities
Trampling Charge
Whether they’re Gutbusters or Beastclaw Raiders, Ogor Mawtribes fight like an avalanche of muscle and meat. Their Trampling Charge ability lets them use their sheer bulk and momentum to deal mortal damage to any foes in their path.
Feast on Flesh
When the Ogors get hungry, they move faster, and once per battle, they can Feast on Flesh. This lets them gorge on their enemies in combat, healing themselves and dealing mortal damage in the process. It’s a game-changer that can swing the tide of battle in their favor.
Battle Formations and Strategies
Beast Handlers and More
The Ogor Mawtribes have four distinct battle formations. The Beast Handlers focus on the Beastclaw Raiders, making their war-steeds even deadlier on the charge. Other formations enhance the magic of the Butchers, improve the accuracy of gunners, or use the Everwinter’s cover to protect advancing infantry.
Magical and Spiritual Power
Mawtribes have their shamans too. Butchers use gastronomic magic to heal allies, induce bloodlust, and slow enemies with torrents of grease. Beastclaw Raiders’ Huskards, who are part warrior-chief and part priest, use the power of the Everwinter to reshape the battlefield.
Key Units
Kragnos, the End of Empires
Kragnos is a god of destruction and one of the few beings who can command the unruly Ogor Mawtribes. His Rampaging Destruction ability inflicts mortal damage on everything within range, and he’s nearly immune to sorcery thanks to his Shield Inviolate.
Huskards and Gluttons
Huskards ride atop beasts like Stonehorns, which can reduce incoming damage and drive enemy monsters into a frenzy. Ogor Gluttons, the backbone of any warglutt, become nearly unstoppable once they start to Feast on Flesh.
Gorgers: The Cursed Outcasts
Gorgers are emaciated horrors cursed with an insatiable hunger. Banished from their tribes, they become Frenzied Hunters, tearing apart enemies with terrifying ferocity.
Spearhead Spotlight
Even your kitchen table isn’t safe from the Ogor Mawtribes! The Tyrant’s Bellow set includes a Tyrant, six Ogor Gluttons, four Leadbelchers, an Ironblaster, and a Mournfang Pack. These units combine to create a formidable force capable of crushing foes in close-quarters battles.
Final Thoughts
The Ogor Mawtribes are an unstoppable force in the Mortal Realms, blending raw physical power with strategic magic and battle formations. Whether you’re leading a warglutt or commanding the Beastclaw Raiders, these brutes bring a unique and devastating presence to the battlefield.
