Ogor Mawtribes
When the Ogor Mawtribes march to war, the ground shakes beneath a rolling avalanche of unwashed flesh. Living embodiments of gluttony, ogors worship the ever-hungry Gorkamorka, whom they call the Gulping God. By stuffing their gaping mouths with raw meat, bone and whatever else they can get their greedy hands on, they give praise to their ravenous deity.
This page contains all of the rules you need to field your Ogor Mawtribes miniatures on the battlefields of the Mortal Realms, from a host of exciting allegiance abilities to a range of warscrolls and warscroll battalions. The rules are split into the following sections.Contents | ||

Designers’ Commentary
Battletome: Ogor Mawtribes
| Q: | If I pick the Ex-mercenary command trait, do Blackpowder’s Buccaneers gain the Battleline battlefield role? |
| A: | Yes. |
| Q: | If a unit cannot be picked when carrying out a monstrous rampage (for example, a unit in the Stormcast Eternals Astral Templars subfaction), can it still be affected by the Unstoppable Charge monstrous rampage? |
| A: | Yes. |
| Q: | The Avalanche of Flesh battle tactic requires 10 or more mortal wounds to be caused by the Trampling Charge battle trait in order to be completed. If 10 or more mortal wounds are caused by the battle trait, but some are negated and the total number of wounds allocated as a result is less than 10, is the battle tactic still completed? |
| A: | Yes. |
