Ogryns

Big. Dumb. Useless.

The Ogryn.

130 points for 3 guys?

40 points PER MODEL?

For a BS3 12" Heavy Bolter with no AP?

For I3 S6 attacks without power weapons?

Sure, this unit can beat down Marines. Tactical marines! Well gee, who can't?

Marines also bring in the Thunder Shield Terminators, Biker Command Squads, and Grey Knight Terminators (at much better costs) and pwn face.

T5 is nice. Until a Dread shows up and beats face, a Chaos Dread could potentially inflict 12 (yes, TWELVE) wounds on the charge before the Ogryns even swing.

Much like oh every non-marine army with big expensive models, they aren't allowed to be anywhere as good as terminators and probably never will be.

For these prices, you can invest in a GKT allied unit with a Ministorum Priest and absolutely wreck face from a Valkyrie.

Which amazingly enough, Ogryns can't get in. For fuck all reasons, I'm sure.

Much like Rough Riders, Ogryns are a hobbyists dream--go nuts modeling Ogre Kingdoms guys with big guns. Just don't expect them to not suck.
