When building a Warhammer army, the best place to begin is with its respective Army book. These books are indispensable, as they not only provide you with the complete rules and army lists for your Ogre Kingdoms army, but also give you guides for painting, assembling, and selecting your army. Plus, you'll learn the background story of these obese terrors, a story you can find nowhere else.

Warhammer Armies: Ogre Kingdoms is one in a series of Warhammer Armies supplements. Each book in the series provides an in-depth description of an army, its history, and its heroes. Inside, you will find:

THE BRUTISH HORDES

A full-colour bestiary, with complete descriptions of all the troops that make up the ravenous armies of the Ogre Kingdoms.

A GATHERING OF MIGHT

Full rules for the weapons of destruction available to the Ogre player, both mundane and magical, plus the Gut Magic of the Butchers – bloated shamans devoted to the Great Maw. Also included are Big Names to boost the abilities of your Ogre heroes and rules for devastating bull charges that smash enemies aside before a single blow is struck.

GUTS OF LEGEND

Rules and background for Greasus Goldtooth the Overtyrant, as immense in wealth as he is in girth, and Skrag the Slaughterer, blood-maddened Prophet of the Great Maw.

COLLECTING AN OGRE ARMY

A reference for collectors, with advice on how to paint your own Ogre Kingdoms army.

An Ogre Kingdoms army is a massive, blunt instrument that smashes into enemy lines with the force of a ton of bricks. It is a hard-hitting, impact driven army that is devastating on the charge but will often be hugely outnumbered on the battlefield. Nevertheless, with the right combination of Ogre units led by one of the fearsome Tyrants, an opponent's battle line can be smashed apart by a devastating bull charge even before a single iron-bound club is swung. However, to get the most out of an Ogre Kingdoms army, you must coordinate the attacks of its supporting units, including the bestial Yhetee packs and shark-toothed Gorgers, the diminutive and cruel slave-race of the Gnoblars, and the shamanic Butchers who wield the mighty magic of the Great Maw.
