Warcry/Tactics/Ogor Mawtribes
Much like the Orruks, Ogors don’t particularly need a reason to be in the Eightpoints other than they are mad hungry.
Faction Overview
The band is generally a low model count team with each big boy capable of taking and dishing out a lot of damage.
Pros
- Durable: Toughness 4 and 5 with have 30+ wounds, something even most Leaders don't have and that is just your basic fighters. Simply put, they don't die quickly.
- High Killing: Ogor attacks are 5+ Strength that do 3-4 damage and 6-8 damage on criticals. As on average, most Fighters are T3 or 4 and between the 8-15 wound range, you are likely to take out a fighter with each attack action.
- Gnoblars: Cheap chaff fighters making up numbers for how expensive your ogors are.
- Fast units and Speedboosters: Have the average Universal 4", with several being 8", which can be boosted with generic abilities, On the Mawpath and Might Make Right.
- Has A Cannon: Only one type of ranged Fighter that's expensive. Despite that, having one boosts up you army's value when your opponent tries to body shield.
Cons
- Low Model Count: Outside of spamming weak Gnoblars, it's easy to get surrounded and each loss HURTS. the 2020 update has given you cheaper options but the only lets you squeeze in one or two more big guys.
- Hard to Spend Effectively: Because of how much they cost, your successfulness is held on what fighters you can bring in a 1000pt budget.
Abilities Overview
- [Double]On the Mawpath: Add half of the value of this ability (rounding up) to the Move characteristic of this fighter for their next move action in the current activation. ([Brute] All Ogors)
- Ability Commentary:
- [Double]Bounding Leaps: The fighter makes a bonus move towards the closest enemy. (Icefall Yhetee and Gorger)
- Ability Commentary:
- [Double] Might Makes Right: A fighter can use this ability only if an enemy fighter has been taken down by an attack action made by them in this activation. This fighter makes a bonus move or attack action. ([Leader])
- Ability Commentary:
- [Double] Ironfist: Pick a visible enemy fighter within 1" of this fighter and roll 2 dice. For each 4-5 the enemy fighter takes 1 damage point, for each 6 they take half this ability's value. ([Bulwark] Fighter with Ironfist)
- Ability Commentary: If you’re not spending doubles for movement, get more value from a Crusher leader. Otherwise, just take Paired weapons on Gluttons.

Fighter's Overview
Leaders
Crusher
- Stats: Movement 4"; Toughness 4; Wounds 40; 285 Pts.
- Runemarks: Brute, Bulwark, Leader
- Weapons:
- Axe-Range 1"; Attacks 4; Strength 5; Damage 4/8
- Fighter Commentary- He exemplifies Ogor kind with the highest wound total of 40. He will destroy the majority of enemy fighters with at most 2 attack actions. Using [Double]Might Makes Right or [Double]Ironfist will extend this rampage.
Gutlord
- Stats: Movement 4"; Toughness 5; Wounds 40; 315 Pts.
- Runemarks: Brute, Leader
- Weapons:
- Axe-Range 1"; Attacks 3; Strength 6; Damage 5/10
- Fighter Commentary- Up the Crusher's Toughness, Strength and Damage. Most other warbands can only hit him on 5s now and wound their heaviest armour on 3s. 30 more points for extra is maybe too much unless your worried about other tough Warbands like Ironjawz or Stormcast.
Tyrant
- Stats: Movement 4"; Toughness 5; Wounds 42; 335 Pts.
- Runemarks: Brute, Elite, Leader
- Weapons:
- Beastskewer Glaive-Range 2"; Attacks 4; Strength 6; Damage 4/8
- Tyrant Ogor Pistols-Range 8"; Attacks 3; Strength 4; Damage 1/4
- Fighter Commentary- darn more expensive then a Gutlord by 20pts, but get greater versitity in all catiogries. gets Gutlords armor and more attacks, even a Pistols to take out enemyes from a distance. [Triple] Bully of the First Degree Chips a lightle on a fellow chpby boy so they get an extra move towards objectives or deal a finishing blow.
Skalg
- Stats: Movement 8"; Toughness 4; Wounds 42; 315 Pts.
- Runemarks: Brute, Mount, Leader
- Weapons:
- Skalg Culling Club-Range 2"; Attacks 3; Strength 5; Damage 4/8
- Ironlock Pistol-Range 8"; Attacks 2; Strength 4; Damage 1/4
- Fighter Commentary-
Thunderfist
- Stats: Movement 4"; Toughness 4; Wounds 40; 250 Pts.
- Runemarks: Brute, Destoyer, Leader
- Weapons:
- Ranged-Range 3-10"; Attacks 3; Strength 5; Damage 3/6
- Unarmed-Range 1"; Attacks 4; Strength 4; Damage 2/4
- Fighter Commentary- Our new cheapest leader choice and a darn deadly one too. Though not "as" killy in CC as a Crusher, but just as dangerous if any fighter gets within 10" of him. Easily the best choice for using [Quad]Thunderous Blast of Hot Metal.
Icebrow Hunter
- Stats: Movement 4"; Toughness 4; Wounds 42; 300 Pts.
- Runemarks: Brute, scout, Leader
- Weapons:
- Hunter's Crossbow-Range 8"; Attacks 2; Strength 5; Damage 2/4
- Hunter Culling Club-Range 2"; Attacks 3; Strength 5; Damage 4/8
- Fighter Commentary-
Butcher
- Stats: Movement 4"; Toughness 4; Wounds 40; 265 Pts.
- Runemarks: Brute, Mystic, Leader
- Weapons:
- Cleaver-Range 1"; Attacks 3; Strength 5; Damage 3/6
- Arcane Bolt-Range 3-7"; Attacks 3; Strength 3; Damage 3/6
- Fighter Commentary- your second cheapest fighter. like a Thunderfist but more balance at ranged and melee. shorter shooting range less effective angienst the tough fighters.
Firebelly
- Stats: Movement 4"; Toughness 4; Wounds 40; 290 Pts.
- Runemarks: Brute, Frenzied, Leader
- Weapons:
- Basalt Hammer-Range 2"; Attacks 2; Strength 5; Damage 4/8
- Arcane Bolt-Range 3-7"; Attacks 3; Strength 3; Damage 3/6
- Fighter Commentary-
Fighters
Glutton Paired Club and Blade
- Stats: Movement 4"; Toughness 4; Wounds 30; 205 Pts.
- Runemarks: Brute
- Weapons:
- Club-Range 1"; Attacks 4; Strength 5; Damage 3/6
- Fighter Commentary- They are big boys, on par with Brutish Leaders. using [Double]On the Mawpath can make one surprisingly quick, They will kill almost every attack and [Triple] Bullcharge turns even a move action into an attack.
Glutton Blade and Ironfist
- Stats: Movement 4"; Toughness 4; Wounds 30; 200 Pts.
- Runemarks: Brute, Bulwark
- Weapons:
- Sword-Range 1"; Attacks 3; Strength 5; Damage 3/6
- Fighter Commentary- Trade +1 attack to have Bulwark and a 5 point discount. the uses of the [Double]Ironfist ability don't really make up for this, so Unless their is a Scenario that benefits Bulwark Runemarks, skip.
Maneater
- Stats: Movement 4"; Toughness 4; Wounds 30; 220 Pts.
- Runemarks: Brute
- Weapons:
- Slicers-Range 1"; Attacks 3; Strength 5; Damage 3/6
- Ogor Pistol-Range 8"; Attacks 2; Strength 3; Damage 1/4
- Fighter Commentary- takes a Glutton and gives him a gun. Still has decent ogor melee damage while dealing some extra poke damage. him vs Leadbelcher is a question of if you prefer versatility or pay 10 more for a fighter that will hang back and obliterate a fighter up to 2 more inches away.
Irongut
- Stats: Movement 4"; Toughness 5; Wounds 30; 235 Pts.
- Rule: Brute
- Weapons:
- Club-Range 1"; Attacks 2; Strength 6; Damage 4/8
- Fighter Commentary - This is bringing a Lascannon to a knife fight. toughness 5 makes him hard to hit and his club will hit almost everything on 3+. He is meant to survive agent strong fighters and kill heavily armored foes. Situational and require those kinds of encounters to be more than once. Only having 2 attacks but if you find a way to boost it (and fish for more six) He is a destroyer. same problem as the Gutlord.
Leadbelcher
- Stats: Movement 4"; Toughness 4; Wounds 30; 230 Pts.
- Runemarks: Brute, Destroyer
- Weapons:
- Ranged-Range 3-10"; Attacks 3; Strength 5; Damage 3/6
- Unarmed-Range 1"; Attacks 3; Strength 4; Damage 1/4
- Fighter Commentary - Easily among the star players of the whole game. Just one of these guys can be very nasty, blowing down enemies from across the board and being pretty durable to boot too.
Gnoblar
- Stats: Movement 4"; Toughness 3; Wounds 8; 45 Pts.
- Runemarks: Trapper
- Weapons:
- Dagger-Range 1"; Attacks 3; Strength 3; Damage 1/3
- Fighter Commentary - Instead of a Glutton, can buy 4 1/2 Gnoblars. They exist so your opponent doesn't get more activations per turn than you. They are on par with other chaff fighters, they will die quickly. They are used to take objectives and accompany Gluttons, their [Triple] Sneaky Traps can detur enemy rushes unless they want to take impact damage.
Frost Sabre
- Stats: Movement 8"; Toughness 4; Wounds 20; 170 Pts.
- Runemarks: Beast
- Weapons:
- Elongated Fangs-Range 1"; Attacks 4; Strength 4; Damage 2/5
- Fighter Commentary - being your "cheapest" objective graber. Ogor light in states but quick as a horse so this cat may grab any loose objectives. Also, recommend a few with an Icebrow Hunter so he can use his [Double] Lead the Skal to give one an extra attack.
Gorger
- Stats: Movement 5"; Toughness 3; Wounds 30; 175 Pts.
- Runemarks: Agile, Brute
- Weapons:
- Distensible Jaw-Range 1"; Attacks 4; Strength 4; Damage 3/6
- Fighter Commentary - this hangry boy is now is if an Ogor becomes a cheaper Bezerker. cheaper and more speed than a glutton but lacks some defensive flab. easy to hit with T3 but 30 wounds should keeping him in for a while. gets [Double]On the Mawpath and [Double]Bounding Leaps so can quickly close in on enemies.
Icefall Yhetee
- Stats: Movement 8"; Toughness 4; Wounds 25; 185 Pts.
- Runemarks: Agile
- Weapons:
- Ice-encrusted Clubs-Range 1"; Attacks 4; Strength 4; Damage 2/5
- Fighter Commentary - mix of Sabercat and Ogor. Like the Gorger they are fast movers, but trade that to deal less weapon damage and 5 less wounds than a glutton. Still cheap at only 10pts more than a Gorger. having [Double]Bounding Leaps, they are well suited to being objective while also hunting down other fighters.
Mournfang Pack with Culling Club and Ironfist
- Stats: Movement 8"; Toughness 4; Wounds 35; 240 Pts.
- Runemarks: Brute, Mount, Bulward
- Weapons:
- Culling Clubs-Range 1"; Attacks 3; Strength 5; Damage 3/6
- Fighter Commentary -
Mournfang Pack with Gargant Hacker
- Stats: Movement 8"; Toughness 4; Wounds 35; 245 Pts.
- Runemarks: Brute, Mount
- Weapons:
- Gargant Hacker-Range 1"; Attacks 3; Strength 5; Damage 4/8
- Fighter Commentary -
Minions, Thralls, and Allies
General Tactics
Other Helpful Tips
Example Builds
- Crusher, Leadbelcher, Glutton w/ Paired Weapons, and 6 Gnoblars
- An all-rounder team meant for most situations. You can easily divide them up into an Ogor and 2 Gnoblars per formation as well.
- Thunderfist and 14 Gnoblars
- An unashamed meme build, but you’ll be drowning your opponent in sheer numbers, using the little runts to tie down enemies while the boss blows them to pieces.
- Icebrow Hunter, Frost Sabre, Leadbelcher, and 6 Gnoblars
- A thematic list for any Ogor hunting parties you wish to throw. If for some reason you don’t want the Leadbelcher, you can replace him with an extra Frost Sabre and Gnoblar.
