Game 8 - Battle Line - Tom - Ogre Kingdoms

Finally the report from the last game! This time I met Tom aka Forgebreaker and his Ogres. I haven't played against them for ages so I was looking forward to the battle and I also hoped to finish the tournament with a great game!

Tom had a few usual suspects but there were also a few surprises. Here is his list in more details:

Game 117 - Ogre Kingdoms - 2014/08/20

Greetings!

Darth Sabre is one of the players who owns more than one army and he wanted to test his Ogre Kingdom force. He also wanted to try new approach to it, so that it is not a standard Gutstar type of an army. I am sure Jimmy the Beastmaster would approve! :)

This is the army list Darth came up with:

Game 29 - Ogre Kingdoms - 2012/06/23

Greetings!

Game 3 of the Day 2 of Wintercon was to be played with modified Blood and Glory scenario. The modification awarded extra 550VP for the player who broke his enemy but the game was to last full 6 turns if possible anyway. This time I had a pleasure to play Garry and his unique army of Ogre Kingdoms.

Army List and pre-battle considerations

Ogre Kingdoms are considered one of the best armies among 8th edition army books. Very tough and with infamous gutstars and ironblasters they are definitely a force to respect. My last game against OK was a disaster and I lost badly at CanCon 2012 also in a blood and glory scenario.This time I had one standard more, also for this occasion but I was glad a I have a chance for some kind of a rematch. When I saw Garry's army I initially thought it is a similar force to any other, with a horde of Ogres and 2 units of Mournfangs. I was, however, wrong!

Ogre Kingdoms - Army List

Slaughter Master, level 4, Talisman of Preservation - Lore of Beast

Butcher, level 2, Dispel Scroll - Gut Lore

3 x 9 Ogres, Full Commands
2 x Sabertusk
3 x 2 Mournfangs, Musicians
6 Maneaters, Stubborn, Swiftstride, Full Command

Game 10 - Ogre Kingdoms - (2012/02/04)

CanCon 2012 - Battle 4 - Blood and Glory

There were many Ogre armies around and I was not surprised to face one eventually. David, my opponent, told me he used to play with Wood Elves (and won a few tournaments with them too!) but in this tournament season he chose new Ogre Kingdoms. So in battle 4 I faced a very experienced player with an army I had problems with in my previous games.

Ogre Kingdoms - Army List

Slaughtermaster, General, Great Weapon, Level 4, Talisman of Preservation, Grut's Sickle - Lore of The Great Maw
Bruiser BSB, Lookout Gnoblar, Great Weapon, Light Armour, Dragonbane Gem, Armour of Silvered Steel
Firebelly, Great Weapon, Level 2, Hellheart - Lore of Fire

12 Ogres, Handweapon & Ironfist, Full Command
9 Ironguts, Full Command, Standard of Discipline
1 Sabretusk
1 Sabretusk

4 Mournfang Cavalry, Heavy Armour, Ironfist, Musician, Standardbearer, Dragonhide Banner

Ironblaster

Very tough army list although with no typical Irongut Deathstar (they operated with Firebelly, while other two characters joined Ogres). Still 3 very dangerous units with hard to kill characters in the scenario where killing them can break the army. What is more, the armies are only 18" apart initially instead of typical 24".
