An Ogre Butcher at his meat pot. |
A Butcher should be a mandatory choice in your Ogre army. Gut Magic provides a very unique spell list that primarily serves to enhance other units in your army. You can bestow everything from Strength or Toughness bonuses to Regeneration on your regiments. Best of all, unlike other Wizards, a Butcher can have Remains-in-Play-like spell effects up and still cast other spells! The downside of Gut Magic is the relatively short ranges of most of the spells. Don't forget that although Gut Magic spells are easy to cast, they can be easy to dispel as well!
You can have only one beneficial spell effect active on an Ogre regiment at any one time. Thus, be sure to use your castings wisely. The +1 Strength from a Bullgorger spell is perfect to boost the Strength of your Bull Charge. If you use that spell on a charging unit of Ironguts, you now have a S5 Bull Charge and S7 hits from your great weapons - not something that your opponents will want to see!
- We have a downloadable set of Gut Magic Cards online for your Ogre Butchers.
