Disciples of Tzeentch – Ogroid Thaumaturge
6" 8 5+ 2 The ogroids are an exceedingly ancient race. Though they once fought in Gorkamorka’s hordes, they sought a more refined existence. These ideals of structure drove a wedge between them and their barbarous brethren, until at last their capital of High Progrexia was sacked by a greenskin horde. Enraged, the survivors fell into the embrace of Chaos, selling their souls for vengeance.
Thaumaturges are the inheritors of the ogroids’ more esoteric traditions, and in their pursuit of magical lore, they have embraced service to Tzeentch. Though brutish, horned and bestial creatures, they are undeniably beings of the arcane, their flesh constantly writhing with eldritch energies. A Thaumaturge’s sorcerous ability is channelled through the head of their totemic staff – a tool hand-crafted by the ogroid themselves – and released in storms of multi-hued wyrdflame.
Thaumaturges are certainly cunning, as many Magisters who seek to manipulate them learn to their cost, but their battle-rage is never far from the surface. When pain strikes, Thaumaturges fly into a frenzy, discarding the subtle arts of magic in their need to crush and tear. Such brute strength is of great value to the Arcanite cults, who flatter the ogroids into spearheading their most aggressive uprisings. | ||
