Ogre Kingdoms (Warhammer) - Dogs of War

Dogs of War

Ogres often find employment as mercenaries as described above. This carried over into gameplay as Ogres can be taken for virtually any army, although only Bulls, Leadbelchers, Ironguts, and Maneaters can be taken. Although they are the "new" ogres, the old rules are still in effect (players just prefer the new models). The Dogs of War army list no longer exists in the latest edition of the game.

These rules allow most armies to field some serious strength, as ogres are powerful close combat troops. Ogres also have a psychological part in the game, as they are typically seen as a good target. Due to their high resilience they can absorb large amounts of fire and still defeat enemy units once they reach close combat.

Famous quotes containing the words dogs and/or war:

    “even the dreadful martyrdom must run its course
    Anyhow in a corner, some untidy spot
    Where the dogs go on with their doggy life and the torturer’s horse
    Scratches its innocent behind on a tree.”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    “All war represents a failure of diplomacy.”
    —Tony Benn (b. 1925)
