Hello fellow warriors of the Great Maw,

   I had stopped playing WH fantasy right about when the 8th edition book came out, picked up a copy, read some of it, but never played a game of 8th edition. My playgroup and I have decided to pick up the game once again, which means it's finally time I get my Ogre fix once again. I was wondering how they have faired so far in 8th edition. I have not read any reports, or anything of the sort since 8th came out, so it is a mystery to me. I was hoping to get the answer straight from my favorite source, the stronghold! thanks for reading, and greatly appreciate any answers.

P.S. I used to play a standard 3 IG MSU type army, but I am guessing this is no longer viable?
Far to the east of the old world within the craggy valleys and cave networks of the Mountains of Mourn, lie the Ogre Kingdoms.

You'd be correct - they're always striking last now even if they charged and the enemy and with the enemy attacking in two ranks that armour isn't likely to save them. For a summary of some of the changes, look here: http://www.ogrestronghold.com/forum/index.php?topic=19161.0
I don't suffer from mental instability. In fact, I enjoy it immensely.

Gutlord Inquisitor: FORUM FIGHT! Me, I'm betting on the stronghold. Sure, they're outnumbered with thick skulls, stubborn bull-headedness and an inflated sense of self-worth, but hey, they're Ogres.
