Foz Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Thinking about using some rat ogors to add a bit more beef to my Skaven army. What are your experiences with them? I used them to some success pre GHB but now at 120 points for 2 I'm not so sure. Also - at tournaments would the warpfire guns need to be modelled on all of them? I only have one with it at the moment and thought I'd ask before I go at them with greenstuff etc to model the guns. Cheers Foz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dez Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I've used them once in a unit of 6 with a packmaster, and they were great. Not all Rat Ogres came with them modeled on, I think it's ok to assume they all have them. The shooting didn't do tons, but once in combat they just shredded.

hobgoblinclub Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I love my rat ogres! Busy building a list with 16 of them. Whipped by a packmaster and with the Chaos ability 'Unpredictable Destruction' they hit on 2s. With a plague priests 'Wither' they wound on 2s. With this combo, units of 6 regularly do 20 wounds on the charge, and I've had them do up to 40 before! Took 29 saurus off in one combat in my last game!They're far from optimal, with their poor saves, but they hit like a train and they're a pile of fun.

Num Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Sorry for resurrecting this old thread, but I've got 8 rat ogors on my hand (and potentially 10 more) and am left clueless as to which list to put them in... They were indeed pile of fun the games I played them, but is there anything viable we could do with them? @hobgoblinclub have you managed to build your 16-ogor list? Especially now that they are battleline-if Moulder allegiance Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dez Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Hey Num! I think Skaven are in a tough place at the moment (if you are playing Matched Play in the GHB). I've been converting mine to Stormfiends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Num Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Thanks @Dez for your reply. How did you convert them into stormfiends if I may ask? Did you just use the spare bits from the stormfiends set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikobot Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I don’t have much experience with them. But the way I view them is they are not really efficient for their cost, lack of save etc As already stated with the right buffs they can certainly bring the hurt. Probably would draw an opponents attention. Be prepared to see them disappear quick with no decent save or defence. Their warp fire guns could be a bit of a surprise.

Carnith Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 maybe increase to wound to 3+? It's a giant brass bell, that has to hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that sounds right, I will do that, maybe some other thougts and ideas with the abilities? We want to create a viable hero for our games.

Num Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Here is a purely theoretical rat Igor list Allegiance: moulder - 3* Packmasters (240pts), one general Lord of War - 3* plague priest (240pts allies) - 6* rat ogors (360) - 6* rat ogors (360) - 6* rat ogors (360) - 3* stormfiends (shock gauntlets) (300) - 3* stormfiends (warpfire thrower or mixture of handy weapons) (300) - 2* warpfire throwers (140pts allies) Total: 2000 Packmasters explode the range of shock gauntlets Plague priests explode the range of rat ogors rabid fury Charge everything and roll the doyces...

Num Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Hello I read on the Adepticon 2018 post that many lists there were running rat ogres with a moulder allegiance... Do you happen to have these lists, have faced these lists, or even be these players please ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We want to create a viable hero for our games. Personally I have found that made up warscrolls should always be a little 'bad'. Or at least make it underpowered instead of overpowered. Regarding the scroll. Maybe make it 5+ 2+ D6 damage. Doesn't change the odds if you are going to change it to 3+ but feels a little bit more random/Skaven to me. Agree with @carnith that it should hurt IF it hits Also if it's a hero, maybe increase it's wounds to 7, more inline with the Ogor heroes instead of smaller skaven heroes. Also brilliant conversion! And a great starting point for a clan moulder Path to Glory campaign? Maybe even name it after and allow the player to always include it as a "Only one 'insert name' can be included in a Chaos army" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
