The Gray Ogre Tribe

original thread ↗

I have been involved with Games all my life. I used to be a competitive Magicer but have always had a weakness for Warhammer, both 40k and Fantasy. Last year I began a WoC army, but got rid of it again after I found it to be too cheesy and people didn't really like to play against me anymore (my LGS is not a competitive environment).

Three weeks ago or so I decided to get back into WHFB and the Stonehorn model led me to start a Ogres army, that and the fact that it is an economic choice made it an easy pick.

My tribe is called the Gray Ogre Tribe, named after the old skool magic card 'Gray Ogre'.

My tribe is by all means very much WIP and therefor I am a bit weary of showing my models here on this forum filled with armies full with beautiful painted models but here we go.

My Tribe is led by Morgoth Bonecrusher. A Tyrant that lives with the Gray Ogres high up in the snowy mountains. Weathered by the rough climate the Gray Ogres are tough. But fueled by their insatiable lust for power the Gray Ogres decent on the world. They pillage and rumble through the outskirts of the Ogre Kingdoms in search for a source to still their lust and hunger for power.

Out of the battalion box and an extra bulls box I made my main army. I converted a BSB, a hunter and a Slaughtermaster out of them. I also bought Brag the Gutsman, who's model I love but who's stats are the most horrible I've ever come across. The model I now use as a Slaughtermaster/Tyrant depends on the game.

My Tribe consists of:

7 Bulls / IF Full Command
8 Ironguts / Full Command

4 Leadbelchers / Bellower
5 Sabretusks (Orc Boars)
2 Mournfang Cavalry HA/IF

1 Ironblaster
1 Stonehorn / Thundertusk (pinned the head and the second rider)

1 Slaughtermaster /Butcher
1 Bruiser BSB
1 Brag the Gutsman (usually ran as Slaughtermaster)

Here is the army in the current state (I will make better pictures soon)

I will keep updating my blog with short battle reports and status updates regarding painting. I hope you guys enjoy it!
The time of the Gray Ogre has come. Prepare for battle, prepare for bloodshed, prepare for victory. Follow me into the Maw of Hell.

these guys are looking really good so far. Obviously it's early days with the painting, but keep it up and they will soon be done.

Look forward to hearing their tales of conquest though with a batrep or two!
