A New Tyrant Approaches

Greetings fellow Ogres.

Throughout the last couple of years I have been wanting to get into miniature wargaming as my lifelong hobby but the cost of money was an obstacle that bared my path. However, I have recently gotten enough funds to start building a few armies for both 40k and Fantasy. My 40k faction of choice is the Imperial Guard but I have also started making an Ork army as well.

When it came to Fantasy I had originally set my sights on creating a Chaos Dwarf force that could also count as a normal Dwarf army. Although that was my original intent I realized that since I was already building two horde style armies it would take me along time to complete any of my forces. So I decided on choosing a elite army that would enjoy alot and could be completed in little time compared to a horde army.

After some researching, I choose to go with the Ogres because I always liked the idea of playing an army that is close combat oriented. Plus their low model count made made the prospect even more appealing to me. Therefore, when I found the Ogre Stronghold site I decided to join and learn from you guys and girls on how get the most out of this hobby. Whether its how to play competitively or bringing an army to life; I look forward to the knowledge I shall hungrily devour from you.

Thank you DrunkenAussie. I will make sure of that. But if the worst happens I will still build an Ogre Kingdoms army for sure. I like them too much to just let this idea die.

I'm sure there are going to be plenty of people still playing 8th Edition after 9th is released, especially if Ogres get relegated to a lesser role in an Orc/Goblin or Empire army (not sure which is going to happen, I've heard rumours of both, but reckon that Orcs are more likely).

So, there'll be plenty of gamers to play against, I'm more worried that GW stores won't support it in favour of 9th, and we'll have to find somewhere else to play. I sure as hell can't fit a gaming board in my flat!
