Long term I could have 16 blodgers, ogres would be lucky to have block. Sure they get a lot of dice, but they're easy to bring down. Die as often as dwarves do.

At higher TR Ogres are just ridicilous.
No matter how hard your Orcs or Chaos are; you are just hammered to bits when faceing 11 ST5 players.
Unless the Ogre coach fails a LOT of bonehead rolls. And even then...

I'd like to see some comments yes or no. From looking at matches played I don't see humans playing Ogres that much.

yeah I think high rated elves would do pretty good against ogres. but bashy teams will get out bashed I think--or any other team that has a hard time dodging away.

My Ogre is broken, but that is cause he fell off a shelf and I stepped on him by accident...*snap*

11 players with guard and mblow = no way to get through. block tackle? yay when facing 3dblocks in their favour... they WILL get pows.

Easy to bring down wtf.... and btw when you make a comparison you're supposed to actually make a point for your view not against. Rolling Eyes

PS; no need to get lucky, just get them to the 4th skill-roll.
An all too easy feat really with ST5 and AV9 Ogres tend to be rather survivable.

5th skill roll before you pick up auto doubles.

There are 4 ST skills they HAVE to pick up first. Guard, Multiple Block, Break Tackle, and Piling On.

I think ogres are really broken. unless you get crazy lucky they are hard to kill, especially when they are lined up in a row and all have gaurd Twisted Evil . I can never find a game for my ogre team and its new so i would think people are pretty scared of them...

Ogres are genuinely a scary team to play......not a mistake i plan to make again

however am suddenly inspired to make an ogre team. They are like an inverted gobbo team.

Infact the presence of an ogre team pretty much makes a gobbo team seem a silly idea

You can't just suppose that Ogres will get to say TR 250 without suffering a lot more than other teams from aging and slow growth. Even without those rather useless skills they tend to get, an team of 11 ogres and 6 RRs they'll need to counter BH is around TR 200. By then, most teams can either get them down or run between their legs.

Have a look at

to read about why FUMBBL data are difficult to use to evaluate the Ogre team.
