-INTRO and BACKGROUND-
Hi there everyone, this is my first post on these forums, so just a hi before i begin
I started my OK army about 2 weeks ago after looking through all the armies and deciding what i wanted. i have purchased a Bull unit and made 5 and converted the 6th into a butcher which is one of the main characters in the history of my tribe. Ive decided to make my own tribe called the Gut Eater tribe:
The basic background is that a certain tribe of ogres, after The Great Maw landed, went through such horrid starvation that they began eating themselves, when the Tyrant decided it was time to stop this cannibalism (as the tribe's population was decreasing rapidly) the tribe began raids on the other Ogre Tribes that were migrating to the Mountains of Mourn. However, the Gut Eaters werent interested in there valuables, they wanted their meat. Thus the tribe became cannibalistic, however does not eat members of their own tribe. Every few months the tribe will raid a rival tribe, kidnap a batch of bulls and whelps and cook them up for a special feast of Ogre meat they call a 'Gut Feast'.
-MISC THINGS-
After i have painted my bull unit i plan on purchasing some ironguts and making them, a mate of mine has offered me 4 ogre bodies and anouther 4 if i decide to buy them from him too before he makes something out of them. However i cant decide what i will make with them. Some conversion projects id like to do are: A second Butcher, A Bruiser, A Tyrant, A BSB and 3 Maneaters. Im thinking ill purchase eight bodies from him and do everything and maybe make a replacement bull from the 6th that became a Butcher. So please vote in the poll and post here why you think i should do what you vote i should do
