Warhammer has two very different treats today.
First, the Ogors get serious list-building advice. Meanwhile, Huron Blackheart finds a much bigger predator at his door. Together, they cover tabletop hunger and Black Library menace nicely.
Ogor Mawtribes Get Three Big Recipes for Victory
AoS Coach Anthony Magro breaks down the new Ogor Mawtribes battletome through three 2,000-point army concepts. The big message is that Ogors still charge, crush, and eat, but now require sharper positioning. The Adaptable Gutbuster Horde uses Maw-Cult Fanatics, plus a Tyrant, Butcher, Gluttons, Ironguts, cavalry, Hunters, and Mawpit.
However, its plan is not blind rushing. Instead, Gluttons bring bodies and Control, while Ironguts become a concentrated central threat. Also, the Tyrant pairs with Ironguts through Personal Enforcers for a 5+ ward. Brawlerguts then lets the Tyrant fight and pull Ironguts into combat with +1 to hit. Meanwhile, the Butcher patches whichever line needs help, either improving attacks, blocking shooting, or adding protection.
The Maulbeasts stretch the board, while Hunters screen, score tactics, and contest awkward spaces. Redd’s Endless Feast goes harder into Glutton bodies, using three reinforced units, Gutseers, and Redd the Maw. Better yet, Redd gives nearby Gluttons a 6+ ward and lets one unit trigger Eat ’Em Alive early.
The Maw Opens then pushes another unit D3+3 inches before movement, which gives slow infantry surprising reach. Gutseers boost Redd’s casting, extend spell origin points, and fight enemy Wizards and Priests. Finally, the Tyrant’s Thunderous Entourage swaps infantry grind for mounted brutality.
A Tyrant on Glutthorn, two reinforced Maulbeast units, a Huskard on Stonehorn, and Hunters create fast layered threats. Also, Freezing Tailwinds improves runs and charges, while Maw-Cult Fanatics healing keeps expensive models in the fight. The article also teases Jaws of the Beast ambushes, Cleaver damage builds, and Kragnos-backed Maulbeast charges. That last point matters, because Ogors often win by forcing bad answers, not by playing fair trades. Overall, these lists show Ogors as flexible brutes rather than one-note missiles.

Huron Blackheart Meets the Great Devourer
Black Library’s new reveal puts Huron Blackheart into a properly nasty strategic bind. After Master of the Maelstrom, he has consolidated gains, but still wants victory over the White Scars. However, those plans change when Tyranids threaten his domain in Claws of the Maelstrom by Marc Collins. That is a fun matchup, because Huron’s empire is not built on loyalty.
Instead, intimidation, bargains, and spite hold his allies together. With the Dark Gods watching and the Great Devourer closing in, his control may finally crack. It also keeps him as a schemer, not just a screaming Chaos warlord. Also, the novel gets a signed Special Edition with black and red cover art and blood-soaked printed page edges. For more details, read the original Warhammer Community Black Library article.
Summary and Final Thoughts
Overall, this is a great pairing of rules depth and narrative danger. The Ogor article makes the new battletome feel surprisingly thoughtful. Meanwhile, Huron facing Tyranids sounds like villain-versus-apocalypse storytelling. For players and readers, both pieces serve a proper feast.
