Ogres Hit The Blood Bowl Pitch Ready To Toss Their Teammates
October 24, 2019 by brennon
Games Workshop has also been showing off a new addition to the Blood Bowl pitch with a team of big hulking Ogres! Check out the Fire Mountain Gut Busters.
This team is looking rather cool and as an Ogre player once upon a time I hope that they've been given a bit of an upgrade in-game. I love them lumbering around and throwing their Gnoblar teammates more often than the ball they're meant to be scoring with.
The design for these players looks great and I think this is another case of them doing some sterling work on the core teams but then maybe losing some of the quality when it comes to creating the additional extra players, personalities and such. Each of these players has a little story to tell and think it's great to see more of this dark comedy in Blood Bowl.
Every good Ogre team manager knows that at its core though, the main focus of your tactical thinking should be with the Gnoblars/Goblins that your Ogres are throwing around. Give them the ball and make sure they survive and you could be scoring more often than you think!
I guess in many cases you could see these Gnoblars as ammo rather than players. It's nice to see a good mix of sculpts in here showing off some angry looking fellows that have been kitted out in the most meagre way possible. I imagine they end up swapping kits with dead Gnoblars quite often.
If you're looking to enjoy Blood Bowl and not take it too seriously this could be the perfect team for you.
What do you make of the new Ogre team?

Oh wow. I still think Dreadball has the superior gameplay but orgres lobbing gnobblers, yes please!
GW trying to regain its cash when the IP was held for so long in the hands of the fans to make their own teams. Good sculpts a little late.
I have no desire to get into Blood Bowl, but the sculpts for the Ogres are nice and distinct from the Ogre mercenary players, and the goblin-throwing mechanic is GREAT.
Great looking team.The gobbo’s/gnoblars just pretend to be frightened before/during and maybe even after a game.
Grabbing almost everything I can for Bloodbowl. I have the (modest…) ambition of painting up multiple teams and getting my roleplaying group running a league.
The teams have all been great so far and (barring some of the recent human releases) the FW star players have been cool.
These models look great, will be picking up a set. I’m interested to see how the team plays!
