A Band Of Hulking Slave Ogryn Head To Necromunda
February 14, 2020 by brennon
Games Workshop has previewed a few more options coming your way for the world of Necromunda. This time around we're looking at the Slave Ogryns, a bunch of big bruisers who are ready to smash apart any soft and puny humans who get in their way.
Get Started In Necromunda @ Store.OnTableTop
There are three different styles of Ogryn for you to check out, armed with all sorts of chunky equipment. I love the fellow who is carting around a massive gun strapped to his arm, enclosed within that helmet which has probably been fused to his head. You've also got the more normal-looking fellow who still seems quite happy despite the fact he is armless.
These folks are all about getting up close and personal. They are ready to get stuck in, weapons at the ready so they can turn your opponents into mush. They are quite dumb but they make up for it with brawn. There are even a few more notable additions to this Ogryn band too with the likes of T.H.R.U.G. 12, also known as Sparky, in the mix.
If you are able to pick up the House Of Chains book which is going to be available this weekend then you'll access to the rules for these characters.

I like them. Id want to attach something to that guys stump though, I wonder if thats why they left it blank so to speak?
I bet they strap all sorts of different weapons to it for various scenarios
The other two guys have similar stumps as mounting points for their prosthetic bits, so I imagine they left it blank so you could see what the “base” figure looks like and start thinking about ways to swap their parts around.
A 40k angle family?
Finally, we get the last missing non-House-specific brute set, and they really look great! I do wish it wouldn’t have taken so long, but it’s good to see GW is slowly but surely catching up on all the teased early releases. Now, how long until the House-specific Brutes start getting proper models?
Well the Orlock “Brute” is the Jotun Ogryn Servitor, so I’d expect them to be released alongside the Orlock box. A whole gang of Ogryn Servitors? Not sure if that’s a good idea, one normal sized doorway and they’re scuppered 😀 But seriously does the game NEED another “new” gang now when there’s so many that the fans are waiting/wanting (like Ratskins and/or Scavvies (the one I’m REALLY waiting for))?
Technically the Orlock “Lugger” servitor is a human-based servitor with tank tracks and a heavy bolter attachment; the Jotun-class were released as non-faction-specific in one of the earlier supplements alongside the Ambots, so you could take them with Orlock if you wanted. As for why we need a slave Ogryn gang… I’d just put it down to “why not?” It also lets you play with them right out of the box; with the Ambots, you needed an existing gang to tack them onto.
Also, given the size and weaponry of these guys, I’d be more worried about the doors than them!
I love those. The faces (and helmet) have loads of character, so I’ll definitely pick them up. I can’t figure out whether they’re plastic or resin though…
They look awesome, I don’t even play Necromunda but I really want these.
Have to say I like these chunky abhumans! I might not like the price when it’s released. 😛
