The Ogor is a bit too lean for my tastes but if more silly stuff like this is coming then I'm all for it.

Ogors need a huge update. This guy falls in line with the Cursed City ones, and the big chunky models likely aren't reflective of most ogors in the mortal realms.

Not sure if I like the howdah. I like the ogor standard bearer with a gnoblar in a little crows nest, but this is uge and holds a full grown man. I get ogors are strong, but still

I can imagine both. The quick turnover meant people were always adjusting to new meta and the quick turnover also meant that GW couldn't do reprints as the reprints would arrive the day the new book should have gone out.

so strange to me that people find 6 month too short to get used to it, i'm already getting bored of a season after 4-5months of playing the same missions.
Eager to get all the details on that one tho

You can play the scenarios from the previous GHB (or even further back). They still work, and many work quite well.

which is an argument in favor of releasing seasons more than 1/year

I find the design really funny, gives me "Walk me closer, I want to shoot them with my gun!" vibes.

Now I want to see a hissy fit fight between this guy and the Breakboss on Mirebrute Troggoth. It'll be like rock em, sock em robots.

Am I the only one who's frustrated that the video is cut to show a rotation of the front of the model five times but not once progresses to show the back? I would have actually liked to see that part of the model as well.

I'm on board with getting some variety in our ogres. Would have been nice to get actual Chaos ogres alongside city militia ogres and cult of nom ogres, instead of ogroids that take that spot and make actual Chaos ogres unlikely.

I think the crow's nest is ridiculous, and not in a good way. It's funny with a goblin or gnoblar that doesn't achieve anything whether it gets rocked around or not. Trying to sell something like that as a serious thing with a human sniper is just bogus.

That sniper, how does he even aim? it has no sight and it's also has a carry handle like an M4 assault rifle lol.

ok, large infantry mounted sniper

I don't know it looks somehow cool and aweful at the same time and I don't know why
it is too large, the Ogre looks like an 32mm human
the sniper is too high up to be of any use, would it be a spotter it would make sense

the whole composition is like a random mix of cool ideas that don't fit together

So ogors are the new ogres? Whilst I dig the model, I feel that the new Ogres and Orcs look more ‘generic’ rather than Warhammer. Very cool concept nonetheless!

The period-piece helmets and the overall amount of filigree makes them look a lot like Rackham sculpts, especially the late Cadwallon stuff.

It's almost there, but I feel Rackham would go full hog with the walking siege tower shtick. Also, that should be a blunderbuss, not a rifle.

It's so silly, I love it!

That does look like it belongs into AoS alright.

that seems to kind of be the vibe im getting from cities... everything seems to be odd/weird.

But odder than the Birdmen of Catrazza from WFB?

Cool concept but the ogor has zero ogrish traits, it's just a resized human sculpt.

Really like it. Hope we get a full unit of Ogors too. That said - I really like that walking tower photoshop above, maybe even a bit more.

Now look just because he's been to the gym, worked out, looked after his food intake and not become overweight doesn't mean he's any less of an ogor than those gutbusters - most of which could do with some vegetation and dieting!

Mawtribes are twisted by their worship of gorkamorka or something, its not the "default" look of an ogor

Came here to say this. It's a good sculpt, but an Ogre it is not. It just looks like an out-of-scale human.

GW, ever since the 8th ed OK book seem to be drifting away from everything that defined the Ogres. They gave them a grey/khaki-esq skin, which gave them a wonderful unique look (a skin tone I use for all of my Ogre minis, regardless of system to this day), which they explained away nicely by the fact that they are explicitly not giant humans and are another fantastical creature, just like Orcs and Lizardmen. Then, with zero explanation in the 8th ed book, they have Caucasian skin, a trend which has continued to this day into AoS.

I like the idea of that model, but the Ogor just looks like a fairly normal guy to me. I didn't see the guy above it at first so didn't even realize it was meant to be an Ogor until i saw that part. He's not wide and bulky enough and the way he's equipped (just typical Cities of Sigmar Gear) doesn't help give across that he's an Ogor.

I mean, here's what other Ogors look like.




(Undead, but still Ogors)



"Traditional" ogors still exist, as seen with the Underworlds warbands, but those are based specifically around concepts from the old world, like maneaters and hunters. The new hunter and tyrant are also just reimagings of classic ogre kingdom models, and not new AOS ideas

I dig it. I hope this means we get a full Ogor unit for Cities of Sigmar.

Whitefang over on TGA seems to have hinted in that direction in the recent past.

I am among the crowd who loves this new mini. I also want to get a bunch of them and create a tower terrain piece which can break apart into several of these guys

Another great model for CoS! And like all the previous ones it seems like it has some choices for heads and weapons too.

I do feel that this could never work. No way the gunner can aim. Maybe if he was closer to the ogor... maybe standing on his shoulders or something...
Still it's very cool. Also I want to see the new CoS minis painted with different color schemes but I love the red wood.

They sort of explain it in the flavor text. He's a second generation city ogor, whatever that means. He can "control his stomach" for hours at a time. Guess he got treatment for binge eating disorder and this model is what that looks like

Mithril Stomach Band.

I take back my odd/weird statement.
I guess cities really should showcase all of the technological marvels and wonders that the realms have to offer 😁
I mean the steam tank and war wagon.
Why not marksmen toting ogres. lol.

Who run Bartertown?
Say louder.

Definitely more than a little Cadwallon vibe. Those guys would be the worst shots ever. I just can't get over how poorly it would function.

I agree with others that the ogre doesn't look ogrish. I do really like the filigree and medieval look of some of the gear.

The gun takes cues from this :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breech-loading_swivel_gun

the bit with the carry handle is a pre-loaded breech block holding the powder charge and projectile.

The old Mordheim ogres didn't have jowels or huge bellies, so we've long had a basis for non-tubby ones and i prefer it. Always thought the tub o'lard versions looked too cartoonish.
