Ogor Mawtribes – Leadbelchers

The cannon is a weapon that speaks deeply to the ogor soul – it is heavy, blunt and fully capable of splattering someone’s guts across the ground with a single shot. No one really knows when ogors first picked up the cannons of their enemies, let alone how they learned how to fire them. Gnoblars were likely involved in teaching the finer points, or perhaps a leap of destructive genius was gifted to them by the Gulping God. Whatever the reason, a certain breed of ogor soon became besotted with the sheer carnage they could cause with their new toys, and they came to be known as Leadbelchers. Whenever a town or settlement is sacked, Leadbelchers hog as much blackpowder as they can. Finding actual cannonballs proves a lot harder, for handguns are a lot more common than artillery in the armies of men and even duardin. To make up for this, Leadbelchers stuff discarded weapons into the barrels of their cannons – when the blackpowder detonates, these are fired with terrific force into the ranks of the foe, often causing even more damage than a cannonball by shredding a wide spread of victims.
