SI.E DOES MATTER

Since many enemy units will have a +4 or +5 combat resolution rating before the fight

even begins, Ogres need all the help they can to level the field so their brute strength

can do the rest. The size of your regiment has a tremendous impact pun intended!, so

you should evaluate carefully when selecting the number of models in a unit. "aving

a ran# for your $ull or %rongut regiments give a +& Strength bonus to the impact hits

caused by the $ull 'harge. "owever, this process can be an e(pensive underta#ing

since a ran# of $ulls will cost &4) points before you even add any e*uipment gainst

many opponents, a $ull 'harge has the chance to #ill enough models to not only

reduce the number of ttac#s with which they can reply, but also bring the combat

resolution bac# to an even footing. -ow the Ogres /+ ttac#s each can ensure thecombat is theirs

One other thing to consider regarding unit size is how many models have to be lost

before 0anic tests become an issue. Since Ogre $ullsand%rongutshave a minimum

1nit Size of /, you should give careful thought to smaller units as well. %f you ta#e a

regiment of three or four models, youll face a a 0anic test if one model is lost from

shooting or magic. "owever, if you base your units around

five models, you will have to suffer two casualties 23ounds! before any 0anic tests arise.

$utchershould be a mandatory choice in your Ogre

army. ut agic provides a very uni*ue spell list that

primarily serves to enhance other units in your army. 6ou

can bestow everything from Strength or Toughness bonuses to 7egeneration on your

regiments. $est of all, unli#e other 3izards, a $utcher can have 7emains8in80lay8li#espell effects up and still cast other spells The downside of ut agic is the relatively

short ranges of most of the spells. 9ont forget that although ut agic spells are easy

to cast, they can be easy to dispel as well

6ou can have only one beneficial spell effect active on an Ogre regiment at any one

time. Thus, be sure to use your castings wisely. The +& Strength from a $ullgorger

spell is perfect to boost the Strength of your $ull 'harge. %f you use that spell on a

charging unit of %ronguts, you now have a S5 $ull 'harge and S: hits from your great

weapons 8 not something that your opponents will want to see

3hen selecting your army, be sure to have a basic plan for each of your units. %t

ma#es no sense sending a lone aneater out to attac# a regiment of 'haos 3arriors

when he would be much better suited to support another regiment with a flan# or rear

charge. "ere are a few #ey units and their useful roles on the battlefield;

themselves can also be used to finish off their targets during
