Big Names
URL Copied!

Some Ogres gain such renown that they literally earn a name for themselves. Whilst many Ogres will be awarded humble or humorous nicknames based upon their achievements, some can earn truly grandiose titles that inspire awe in their kin.

To represent this, some characters drawn from the Ogre Kingdoms army list may be given a Big Name, chosen from those detailed below. Each Big Name gives the character certain benefits in the form of modified characteristics and additional special rules:

Mawseeker(Ability)30 points

Those tough enough to survive the pilgrimage to the Great Maw often return with part of themselves eaten away.

Models whose troop type is infantry only. This character has a +1 modifier to their Toughness characteristic. However, this character is also subject to the Stupidity special rule.

Mountaineater(Ability)25 points

Those able to scale the tallest peaks ritually consume part of the mountain to mark their conquest.

Models whose troop type is infantry only. This character cannot be wounded by a roll To Wound of 2, regardless of the Strength of the attack.

Giantbreaker(Ability)20 points

Any Ogre that has defeated a Giant in hand-to-hand combat can be, justifiably, supremely confident in their abilities.

This character (but not their mount) has a +1 modifier to their Strength characteristic. However, this character cannot refuse a challenge and neither they, nor any unit they have joined, can Flee as a charge reaction.

Kineater(Ability)15 points

Having achieved their rank by killing and eating a member of their own family in a pit fight, Kineaters are considered ruthless even by their own tribe.

Longstrider(Ability)10 points

A Longstrider has hunted on the slopes of the mountains for decades, and is even capable of running down a sprinting ice elk.

Models whose troop type is infantry only. This character has a +1 modifier to their Movement characteristic.

Beastkiller(Ability)5 points

As a sign of their prowess as a hunter of monsters, a Beastkiller will adorn their body with trophy horns and tusks.

Once per turn, this character may re-roll a single failed roll To Wound made against an enemy model with the Large Target special rule.

Deathcheater(Ability)5 points

An Ogre that has escaped certain doom is considered blessed by the Great Maw. Not surprisingly, Deathcheaters tend to have impressive scars.

Once per game, you may make your opponent re-roll a single roll To Wound made against this character.
