While on the hunt for ever more delicious prey, we first caught wind of the Bloodpelt Hunter at the NOVA Open. This fearsome predator heralds the arrival of the gluttonous Ogor Mawtribes.
Where others see mystical lands to conquer, Ogors only find a banquet of delights. They are irresistible, immovable, and ready to feast in style with the upcoming Battletome: Ogor Mawtribes.
Whether carving up the realms in eccentric circular hunts known as Mawpaths, or fleeing from the gnawing supernatural bite of the Everwinter, all Ogors share a handful of things in common – brute strength, a knack for building tools of war, an endless hunger, and… heinous halitosis.
To stand before either the Gutbusters or the Beastclaw Raiders is to face off against the hunger of the Gulping God Gorkamorka made manifest – a million mouths that will consume all that stands before them.
These tribes aren’t just mindless bellies on legs, though – their rough-and-ready culture is built on simple tenets – might is right, eating is good, and bodily functions are hilarious. These are the main ingredients of their cultural stew, but each tribe sprinkles in their own flavour– all covered in the battletome.
The tome contains a hearty lore and background section, a gorgeous miniatures showcase with lots of painting tips, and an army rules section reworked for the current edition.
New battle traits unlock army construction options, while individual Mawtribes define your horde. Field ranks of extra powerful cannon-wielding Leadbelchers as the Underguts Mawtribe, or imbue your Mournfang Packs with unnatural swiftness with the Thunderbellies Mawtribe.
These flexible options are backed up by 28 warscrolls and a Path to Glory section focused on undertaking the Mawpath. There’s also a host of battle traits, command traits, artefacts, as well as spell lores and prayers for Butchers and Firebellies and Beastclaw Raider Priests, respectively.
Whatever flavour of Ogor army you favour, Battletome: Ogor Mawtribes is full of tasty options. We’ll be digging around the innards of this tome closer to release, so sign up for the Warhammer Community newsletter, so you don’t miss out.
