Mantic’s Ogres Prove Just as Dangerous When Far Away
June 27, 2013 by dracs
Ogres, big bulky monsters monsters which could crush your head like a grape. But you'll be OK as long as you stay out of arm's reach, right? Wrong as the new Ogre Shooter Regiment is now available to pre-order from Mantic Games.
Yes the Ogres, which are to my mind some of the best troop miniatures in the Kings of War range so far, have been given some fire power. While that fire power might be crude it definitely packs a punch.
The really cool thing about Mantic's Ogre Shooter Regiment is that you have different options as to just what sort of shooty weapon they'll be lugging around with them, with the option to take either a blunderbuss or a massive crossbow.
Massive monsters lugging around huge weapons of ranged devastation? What's not to like? Unless of course you happen to be standing in front of them.

It might be how the models are placed on the bases but the poses look very odd and disjointed when you look at the weapons.
That’s what I thought. The blunderbuss ones aren’t that bad, it’s just the crossbow guys. :/ Could’ve done with bits to make an aiming pose imho.
Looks like the crosbow guys are gonna do a lot of damage to each other before they get anywhere near the enemy lines!
Which could take a long time on their funny little legs that appear to have unithighs
Or do they just need a pee? lol
You know I hadn’t actually noticed the stances. You’re right they do look very knock kneed
woah ,what you got against us knock kneed people?
i think i may start an ogre army and lead it ,in all its knock kneed glory ,and i shall be known as the dodgy legged king of the mountains.
Have some nice elements but on the whole look pretty odd/ a bit naff.
