The Ogor Mawtribes have needed an update for a long time. Originally built to be ranked up, they suffered from a stagnant look and a lack of the threatening presence that they project in the lore. Thankfully Games Workshop have delivered, with a glow-up for the ages!
The new Ogor Mawtribes begin here - the new Battletome: Ogor Mawtribes which gives you the lore, the new units and all the goodies you need to field this brilliant looking refresh! There's two version, the Juicy Manflesh Standard Edition and the Yum Yum, Get In My Tum, I Will Eat Your Fleshy Bum Gamer’s Edition (which also includes the softback version of the battletome and the Warscroll Cards).
Every faction needs a leader, and for these brutes it's Morga the Mighty mounted on their be-horned best. This is a combi-kit, so if you're not into Morga, then you can also choose to make a generic a Tyrant on Glutthorn as the kit gives you lots of bits to be creative!
Morga isn't the only character as we also have the High Slaughtermaster himself, Redd the Maw with their minion-powered cauldron, and the she-beast Grell Firefist (just casually one-handing a cannon).
Looking for something a little more generic and customisable to lead your troops? Well the new Tyrant
is the way to go. Sure to be a centrepiece model (and a favourite for Golden Demon), the Tyrant comes with alternative gut plates, three different heads, two sets of weapons for each hand, and two separate back banners to really bring them to life! This seems like a brilliant kit and will surely be hugely popular!
Now if you wanted your friendly neighbourhood Ogors to be friendly, we have some bad news - and Redd the Maw was a hint - these chaps are not friendly and enjoy the taste of man-flesh. That being said, this means you'll need a Butcher - and here he is! Super-gross and with an alternative head (sporting the hood we all know and love) this is a powerful unit that will cause some serious damage to their foes.
Let's get into some troops, and as the Butcher needs pals, the Cleavers/Gutseers combi-kit have their hands in the air to help. Particularly grotesque, this is definitely a unit not for anyone without a few pots of Blood For The Blood God around. The Ironguts have to be the standout unit in this release, with their heavy armour and alternative weapons and head options. This is the vision I think most of us have of Ogors, and finally we have them!! These are on my shopping list for sure! If you need something not as elite bust still packing power, then the line infantry of the Ogor Mawtribes is for you! Gluttons by name, gluttons by nature, this unit has a wide variety of weapon and head options, plus "all sorts of optional cosmetic parts".
There's some more specialised units too, with the Maulbeast Raiders/Maulbeast Cavalry combi-kit. The Maulbeast Raiders are designed to hunt your enemy, while the Maulbeast Cavalry are a heavy cavalry unit, designed to smash through their lines. There's also a ranged unit, with the Hunters with Sabrefangs not only being very thematic, but adding heavy crossbows to the arsenal. Cute kitties too! Notice the standard Ogors helmet this time appearing in leather - a really clever touch for a lighter unit. Last but not least it's the unit that looks like something out of Warcry, the Mantrapper who gives you accuracy and power in ranged combat.
Lastly in terms of minis is the Regiment of Renown, Okar’s Torrbad, which sports two of the older sets - a Huskard on Stonehorn and a Thundertusk Beastrider - but are still some of the best mounted kits GW have ever produced.
Lastly we have the Ogor Mawtribes Dice, which sport an icy look. Brrrr it's cold in here, there must be some Ogors in the atmosphere!!
In books this week we have the Galaxy in Flames in the Already-Sold-Out-Premium Edition and Hardback. There's also False Gods in Paperback. I have to admit I'm not too sure why GW are reprinting these every year. Just leave them in print! We also have the new Blood of the Godeater in Hardback, and a brand new Witch Hunters: The Omnibus (in paperback) with includes the novella City of Secrets, the novels Callis & Toll: The Silver Shard, Hallowed Ground, and Temple of Silence, plus the short stories Callis & Toll: The Old Ways, The Interrogator, The Orphan of Pale Harbour, and Shadowglass Creek.
