Thoughts

This is a difficult one to call, as both armies have a lot of strengths here. The Khorne list is very mobile and capable of shelling out a lot of damage, and the ability to disrupt the Ogors (honestly excellent) spell lore and Morbid Conjurations is not without merit.

That said, the Ogor list while less mobile isn’t completely inert, and is capable of taking a good punch on the Jaw from Khorne while also hitting back. The mix of reinforced gluttons units with Beastclaw mounts gives a solid mix of units to stand on objectives and to charge forward and do some damage.

The mission is pretty good for both but ends up with a dominating lead for the Ogors player – a perfect score!

Result

Ogor Mawtribes Victory – 50 – 37

Mixed Ogors

Thoughts

We’ve seen a lot of Foot ogors in the first few events of 4th ed but not really any mounted units. Beastclaw took a real hit while the foot ogors are undercosted for how much damage they can put out (and take!).

This creates a real solid mix of units able to handle a variety of threats. The two reinforced glutton units are the heavy lifters, their attack profile is deceptively strong, especially when buffed by Blood Feast for +1 to attack. They also are very hard to put down, being a solid 48 wounds and can be -1 to hit if the enemy unit is hit with Greasy Deluge.

The General Huskard on Thundertusk is no slouch either. With the Keening Gale prayer they can rocket across the field and their warlord trait gets to ignore all negative modifiers to hit and save, while the artefact lets them ignore wards once per game. An excellent choice for anything that would have anti-Infantry against the ogors.

Thoughts

This is an interesting mission for both of these armies, since both generally want to try and run and charge up the field as fast as possible since all the objectives are deep in someone’s territory. The Foot Ogors aren’t known for their speed – but Gorgers can be quite fast in this subfaction.

It’s largely going to come down to who can get their charges in first. The Daughters of Khaine, if properly buffed, can put out an obscene number of attacks that do some solid damage between Mindrazor for +1 to rend and Damage, and the Slaughter Queen’s Orgy of Slaughter for +1 to attacks. But if they get charged first…they won’t last long.

Meanwhile the Ogors while wanting to charge in general are quite resilient. It’s unlikely they’d survive a strong Daughters of Khaine charge phase but they definitely would handle it better than the reverse. It ultimately comes down to a very close game, off by only 2 points.

Ogor Mawtribes Victory – 30 – 28

Foot Ogors

Thoughts

A Gorger heavy list is a fascinating choice, but they’re a bit of an underrated unit. A bit expensive at 260 for 5, but their ability to deep strike in later allows them to capture backfield objectives far easier than a solely Gluttons list could do. Their ability to run and charge also means virtually nowhere is safe from them, they make excellent support as the hammer to the Glutton’s anvil.

The two requisite 2 reinforced units of Gluttons are here of course and same as the list in our first matchup are a terrifying force if hit with Blood Feast for +1 to attacks. Overall, just a very solid list that hits the fundamentals of foot ogor gameplay without too much fuss or muss.
