As you may have guessed, I am now the proud owner of the army deal! Woohoo! The waiting was definitely worth it. All of the models are great (even the Yhetees which I was unsure about), and there are a lot of really funny touches on the models, eg, the gnoblars that come in ogre boxes mimic the ogres (the ironguts' gnoblars look like they have great weapons and heavy armour!).

And, of course, I now have the book. Teeheehee... if anyone has any questions (within reason, obviously), I can now definitely answer them - I'll just check in my copy of the book. :D

:thumb: Way to go, GW!

The Green Goblit :orc:

Only, one word.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
So finally, n00bs can go and get an army which is harder to win with than brets and I don't have to put up with any more units of 12 grail knights and 15 Knights of the Realm.
A happy cally.

Just out of curiousity Cal, have you ever contributed something that was beneficial to this forum, or do you just come in here and complain about or bash Ogre Kingdoms when you get the chance?

Anyways, I had a question on Ogres. I'm still kinda hazy on how their magic works, and would like a little input on that. Thanks.

Okey dokey, gut magic...

• Each butcher (hero) and slaughtermaster (lord) knows all 6 spells
• The first time per turn you cast a spell it's on a 3+, the next time you cast it that turn it's 6+, then 9+, etc.
• Butchers count as lvl 2, Slaughtermasters as lvl 4 for the purposes of power & dispel dice
• Opponents can dispel any gut magic spell in his own turn as if they were Remains in Play spells at power level 7

I really doubt I'd be allowed to post the spells here, but if you want I'll email you.

Do you own a scanner. If yes then do you think you could scan the rooster sheet in, so i can see all the stats in English.

I have seen the book as well. It is cool. I like the speacial characters. The one with T6 and is it W6 and I1. He is very fat but cool.

Goblit, what do you think of the stats of the combat lord(forgot his name)
I mean, he has s5, t5, w5, a5, a bit dissapointing don't you think?
He would really lose of a vampire lord, a vampire lord is even better, only the vampire has one wound less..
I expected something better from the strongest oger out there....

That would be the biggest possible copyright breach I could do. So no.

Well, those are the basic stats (which aren't exactly terrible, BTW), and then you can give him magic items and big names. A tyrant with the thundermace (S8, no saves, D6 wounds) and deathcheater (once per game one enemy must re-roll successful to wound rolls) should take down a vampire lord in single combat. :thumb:

The Green Goblit :orc:

Ive got to know this.
Is the gnoblars ledership simmilar to goblings or other creatures that tedn to runaway??
Also what hunters like stat wise and how many sabers cna he have , plus what are there stats like.

What's a gobling? Sounds kinda like a goblin... anyways, gnoblars are Ld 5.

A hunter can take two sabretusks. I can't give you his/their whole stat lines, but he has one more wound than a regular ogre (use the statline from the DOW ogres on the GW site), and is S5 T5.

I'm not really sure how much detail I'm allowed to go into on questions like that, if a Moonshadow or a mod could let me know I'd be grateful. Cheers. :thumb:

The Green Goblit :orc:

Ah so it came then?

I'm expecting you not to be in school on monday ^_^ . Should be at home modelling :lol:

Which begs the question.. where the hell have I been the past half a week. the answer is.. drowing in my own flem (sp?). I actually thought I was dying at one point, couldn't breathe (no joke). I managed to catch some huge virus or something...

On the up side, I managed to paint my runepriest and finish off my wolf scouts you'll be glad to know! ^_^ . And again congrats on the OK stuff. That means its now around 363 days till Wood Elves!! :D

:D




:mellow:




:(

Lol.

Also, what do the spells do? I had a look at the book, but never got to see the spells.

Also is it true that ogre regimenets get Impact hits or something like that?

Actually, I'll be in hospital having nice nurses fiddle around with my broken toe. :D

Nice *pukes*

If an ogre unit contains 3+ models they get a special "bull charge" impact hit per model in the front rank at their base strength. If any ogre has another ogre ranked up behind it their hit is at +1 strength, and if they have another behind that its another +1, etc.

I'm not sure how much I can say on something like that - I PMed Moonshadow yesterday to ask him how much I can tell people so when I get a reply from him I might be able to tell you. :thumb:

The Green Goblit :orc:

Phlegm.

Goblit, you're going to keep us updated on the progress of your army, right? Wins, losses, pics of your modelling/painting...:D

agreed :P ^_^


anyway could you tell me a guess of the base size of ironguts?I am converting some dwarf dreadnoughts out of ghazgulls (pics soon) and I want to use the rules of ironguts.

I would be intrested in that as well. Maybe you could do it as part of the herald?

Yeah, I'd be happy to if people are interested. I started painting my first bull tonight, so if I stick with the scheme I'll post a pic.

Re: the herald - isn't the next issue in february? That might be a bit late.

EDIT: Ooops, forgot to answer your question Longdrong. They're on 40x40mm. The conversions sound cool, post pics!

The Green Goblit :orc:

Goblit after flicking thoruhg various white dwarfs i kept on seeing ogres that looked like asssins is there an actula ogre assing thingy or are these jsut some other bull or something model.
If so cna you please tell me how the hell can a ogre be stealthy.

I'd say that those are just the....thingies. The Ogres that mimic other cultures. This one happens to mimic the Cathayan assassins.

Ok i didnt know about them but wouldnt they have soome sort of rules (if u want a pic of one look in WD300 pg37 is the msot recnet jsut so u knwo what i mean), i hope Gw has came up for a way that they cna be used in gmae lol.

Oooh nice one Goblit! :clap:

When are you gonna start posting pics? ;)

Cool. They do sound nasty.

What colours are you going to paint them?

Hey,didn't you say your tribe came out of a volcano?why not find a way to paint lava bases with molten rock?

Do what I did when 3 gamers was on. I just did enoguh for 10 issues with pics and then left it.

Waaaaaaaay ahead of you, buddy! :P I've already started greenstuffing the rocks on the bases, then once they're all done I'll go back and make little lava bubbles.

10 issues? That's twenty months! I think I'll just make a thread in here then update it every two-three weeks. Maybe I can rope Xarhain into doing a battle report with me for it...

The "thingies" are maneaters and yes, shock horror, they do indeed have rules! :eek:

I'll probably be able to take some on Friday (it's a half day at school, so there might actually be some light when I get home!), otherwise they'll definitely be up at the weekend.

Wait and see... ;)

The Green Goblit :orc: aka Bashut Firegut :ogre:

It was once a month or there abouts then.

How many Herald issues were there? I can only find two...

Back OT: I've finished the first bull ogre, and sculpted three bases. Piccies soon :) And I've painted a gnoblar trapper, if anyone cares.

The Green Goblit :orc:

so what is it now then?the green goblit :orc: AKA the caucasian (sp?)/horrible mangey GW skintone ogre :ogre:?

Nah, my ogre's a nice darkish grey tone (it fits more with the mountainous terrain than a regular 'oomie flesh colour IMO) not their odd skin colour, although that does look better in person and in the book.

Still prefer mine though. :D

The Grey Ogre :ogre:

We failed.
On topic, would love to see some piccies.

Just a quickie: Can you confirm that Ogres get rank bonus?

Congrats on getting the army boxed set :D . BTW what are their colour schemes like, any alternate ones in the back of the army book ;)

Enjoy!!!

I can indeed, although it'll cost you 140pts in a bull unit - worth it?

Yes and no - there are alternate colour schemes but only the warpaint/armour is different (all the skin is the same).

Believe me, I will!

The Green Goblit :orc:

what can greasus do apart from bribe the enemy?and what can that lovely mace do?

D6 impact hits, can always march, 5 sword gnoblars, S10 D3 wounds mace.

The Green Goblit :orc:

:eek:

Ouch.

How expensive is he?

565 and 2 lord choices. I forgot to say, he gets 3 of those mace attacks and he counts as a BSB.

The Green Goblit :orc:

only 565?? That sounds pretty cheap for something that can deal S10 D3 hits and stupidify everybody

Yeah, but he's two lord choices so you can't take him 'til 3000pts. By 3000pts you'll be fighting against dragons, lords on flying monster mounts, lvl 4 wizards...

You get a discount because you're missing out on so many other options, basically.

The Green Goblit :orc:

He is nasty. His movement is low though, well for an ogre anyway.

What sort of war machines do they get. Is it only the leadbelchers or do they get more?

they get the scrapalauncher,a stone thrower that chucks junk at the enemy.also counts as a chariot

At first, yes, but once you get up close he can always march anyway so it almost makes up for it. Almost.

Well, leadbelchers aren't technically war machines but they get the scraplauncha, which is basically a strength 3 stone thrower (with killing blow), on a chariot pulled by a rhinox (a cross between a rhino and a mammoth).

EDIT: Pah, beat me to it Longdrong!

Incidentally, does anyone remember the night gobbo army in WD about a year ago (in the UK, at least)? Anyway, the army was a goblin scrap-merchants army led by "Ma the Grub." According to the army book, the scraplauncha was pioneered by Ma, self-appointed king of the gnoblar scrappers. Coincidence? Does it matter? Not really, I just wanted to let everyone know I found it first. :rolleyes:
