===Bullgryns=== [[File:Bullgryns.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Yes, those are tank treads.]] Some Ogryns are instead given Ogryn-sized tower shields made from barricade walls and custom-built [[Carapace Armour|carapace armor]] which incorporates loose tank tracks; known as "Bullgryns" (trademarkable shorthand for '''bul'''wark O'''gryns'''), these Ogryns serve as living, mobile bunker walls on the battlefield. The idea is that all of that armor, behind a huge-ass shield designed to be interlocked with the neighboring shields, and with a big strong Ogryn inside of it, will soak up bullets, lasers, and other incoming nastiness that might hit more important things. It's a pretty sound theory. Each Bullgryn also carries an [[Grenadier Gauntlet|arm-mounted grenade launcher]] for fighting back with (though, being Ogryn-sized, it performs more like a handheld ''mortar''). Instead of slabshields and grenade gauntlets, some Bullgryns are instead issued with [[Power Weapon#Power Maul|power mauls]] and deflector bucklers (which generate invulnerable saves in the form of force fields) that double up as a makeshift bludgeon; <s>this being the Imperium, no Bullgryn is ever issued a maul and a slabshield,</s> as of 8e Bullgryns may now be equipped with slabshields and mauls, slabshields and grenade gauntlets, deflector bucklers and mauls, or bucklers and gauntlets; however they may not dual wield any weapons be it mauls, slabshields or deflector bucklers. And issuing both a slabshield and a deflector buckler to the guy whose only job is to stay alive while getting shot is [[heresy]], while issuing a Grenadier Gauntlet and Maul before telling them to go ham is also [[heresy]]. The Ogryns take their protective duties very seriously and will often form a line at the slightest sound of gunfire, [[Fail|which can be most inconvenient in crowded trenches.]] Yet Guardsmen advancing behind a Bullgryn squad swiftly forget such mishaps as shots whine harmlessly from the Ogryns' shields, leaving those soldiers crouched in their lee unharmed. Needless to say, casualties are high among the Abhumans themselves, but the close-range bombardments of the Ogryns' Grenadier Gauntlets means that any opposing foe would get a fist full of Ogryn-sized explosives in the face. They may or may not be the spiritual successor of the Ogryn Charonites.
