of the Angry Fist Tribe
Pigbarter is a large, lucrative trading settlement
located at the mouth of the River Ruin, known in
those lands as the Scalded Delta and a prime desti-
nation spot for those following the Ivory Road. Pig-
barter is named as such because of a popular sport
which captivates the citizens of the trading town. Pig
-jousting as it is called is the most popular event,
where merchants and gamblers gather from all
around the settlement for a mile around.
The settlement itself is built above the foul, toxic
chemical waters of the River Ruin, built upon mas-
sive silts which raise the settlment high into the air.
Each habitation is rimmed with sharp shards of
glass and sharpened nail that have been hammered
into the wood of the foundation timbers and sup-
porting beams, presumably to prevent nocturnal
raids from the Gnoblars that infest this benighted
town at ground-level. These beams are almost wit-
hout exception riddled with woodworms, centipede
and louse, and as a result a good third of Pigbarter's
buldings have collapsed to form a ramshackle floor
of shantytowns housing said to be infested with
Goblins below the settlement.
Quite how man and greenskin can coexist in this
manner is incomprehensible to many. Above the
buildings, large flocks of trained eagle-owls as large
as hounds are used by the town's inhabitants as a
way to deter any Gnoblar raiding parties from ste-
aling the goods and profits earned from traveling

Pigbarter Names
The names of Pigbarter are often highly informal but
it’s also quite common for humans from such a
place to just have a name from a land where their
ancestors came from or have a slave-name from
Ogre or chaos dwarf masters long-since escaped.

informal Pigbarter specific names.

"We are rich for we are strong.
Challenge wealth and challenge might.
Many tried. Greasus beat them all.
Praise the overtyrant."
—First caravan-threatener Borlag Goldtooth
The Goldtooth Tribe is one of the important factions onto the old Tyrant's head, breaking his neck. Some
of the Ogre Kingdoms, known for their sheer num-
bers and having the best equipped fighting force.
Since the days of the infamous Tyrant Gofg, the
Goldtooth Ogres have gained notoriety as the
wealthiest of all tribes. Now, under the rule
of Overtyrant Greasus Goldtooth, the Goldtooth
tribe has grown yet richer. Ever eager to show off
their top status, the tribe is given to ostentatious dis- these prodigious deeds spread far and wide, many

plates and, naturally, have at least one of their teeth and often lord it over other tribes, letting others feel
replaced with a gold one. Most other tribes have
learned (the hard way) that it is 'best not to mess
with them Goldtooths'.
It would be impossible to speak about the Goldtooth
tribe without speaking of their leader. Tradelord
Greasus Tribestealer Drakecrush Gatecrasher
Hoardmaster Goldtooth the Shockingly Obese, is
the fattest and most powerful Ogre Tyrant within the
entire Ogre Kingdoms and holds the current title
of Overtyrant, the Tyrant of all Ogre Tyrants.
Greasus was one of the many whelps sired by the
infamous Gofg, Tyrant of the Goldtooth Tribe. Like
his brothers, Greasus grew up to become strong
and fat. However, unlike his brothers, he killed and
ate his own father. After assuming the Tyranthood
of his tribe, and feeling the need to prove himself,
Greasus demanded tithes from other kingdoms. All
refused the audacious request and began baying for
Greasus' blood. Who was this upstart to demand
gold and food from them? They would soon learn.
To rule the Ogre Kingdoms, he knew his deeds
must be legendary -- and so Greasus set out to con-
quer the nearby tribes single-handedly. The first to
fall met their fate during a Midwinter Feast. Scaling
the mountain above their valley, Greasus heaved
boulder after boulder into the hillside, roaring oaths
at the top of his voice until the vibration from the
boulders and his own voice caused an avalanche of
such size that it swallowed the entire tribal encamp-
ment, killing everyone within it. The second dissent-
ing tribe, ruled by a Tyrant named Gut Badmouth,
was paid a visit during the spring Hoof and Horn
feast. There Greasus challenged the old Tyrant to
single combat. Badmouth, older and significantly
larger than Greasus, eagerly clambered into the
maw-pit, awaiting his challenger.
In an unexpected entrance, Greasus launched him-
self into the maw-pit, and slammed his body gut-first
felt that Greasus had defied pit-fighting traditions,
whilst others felt the rules might have been cleverly
bent. Unperturbed by the debate, Greasus con-
sumed Gut Badmouth and, without wiping his chin,
he beckoned the next challenger. After beating and
consuming three Bruisers in a row, all the tribe
eventually swore allegiance to Greasus. As word of
Tyrants decided to join the ruthless leader of the
they are arrogant bastards and while few dare ques-
tion Greasus many question Goldtooth ogres refus-
ing to accept their ‘greatness’.
Tips to play a Goldtooth
To play a Goldtooth ogre make sure to take pride in
your tribe and tyrant. It marks you out from other
ogres and has been an obvious reason for better
food, status and wealth than others. It has also likely
caused others to disagree with your tribe forcing you
into a position of even fiercer defence of it. If you
play a gnoblar you are likely to have lived with vast
numbers of your kindred having fierce competition
for good jobs.
Sayings of the Goldtooth Tribe
Born with a tooth of gold: Born into wealth and influence
rather than having to work for it. Simmilarly used to ”Born
with a Silver Spoon in Mouth”.
Gold gutplate: An item that is more fancy than actually
useful, named after the actual use of some solid gold gut-
plates which turned out far worse than iron ones. Example
of use; “Yeah those Cathayan swords forged for our size is
fancy but they gold gutplates. Club better.”
A Greasus Portion: Sometimes ordered when someone
comes into lots of wealth. A greasus portion is two meals
of every food offered at the place. The saying has spread
to find limited use at Pigbarter especially offered visiting
ogres.
The Feastmaster Tribe
"Oh, sure short fings are good fer eatin but they
even gooderer fer cookin.
Wah ya mean that’s butcher werk?
Come here an I’ll show yer some butchin werk!"
—Ugh Feastmaster the Drunk
The well-fed lowlanders of the Feastmaster
Tribe are famous for two things: the quality of their
food and the Halflings that live amongst them. Their this protection remains so strong that when the
heavily jowled Tyrant, Blaut Feastmaster, captured aforementioned inn was threatened by the
a string of the small folk during his many travels
and, in a display of foresight and extreme self-
control, brought them home for the lads instead of
eating them then and there. The Halflings, in perpet- for free.
ual fear of ending up 'in the trough', fulfill much of
the same role as Gnoblars, but in addition to fetch-
ing, they also help to prepare the food. As long as
they keep making top-notch meals, the Halflings
won't end up being a light snack themselves
(probably).
With their proximity to the Goldtooths they have little different non-ogres are present, showing a prefer-
choice but to recognize Greasus and pay him trib-
ute, something that keeps them safe from other
threats and provides a barrier to many of the warlike and a halfling, adding a wary and slightly paranoid
tribes of the northern mountains. With the spice
route near many of the tribes wanderers take the
path to Ind and when they return they often do so
with massive amounts of exotic spices. Something
greatly appreciated by the halfling captives of the
tribe.
While many ogres care more for quantity than quali-
ty regarding food the Feastmasters have developed
a much finer palette and enjoy the finer points, it’s a
bragging right for such ogres to have a great halfling
chef and they are fiercely protected with ogres kill-
ing to keep them safe and theirs. The finer palette
has however given the Feastmasters a reputation of
not eating anything which is seen as a real bad trait
in the eyes of the Maw.
The halflings of the tribe are for the most part really
unhappy about their status as slaves but there are
those that find the upsides of it. Life in places like
the Empire and Bretonnia isn’t always that great ei-
ther and the safety of having an ogre looking after
you just for your skill at cooking isn’t the worst deal.
Ogres view on tribe and family also suits the
halflings well. Where in the empire several families
having different names and not defending each oth-
er like families should (in the opinion of halflings)
can be a bit of a point of confusion amongst the
Feastmasters they all become part of one big family
that indeed does protect each other from outsiders
the way a halfling family would. While few halflings
get to leave the tribe some that do keep the name of
Feastmaster after they do, indeed there is a halfling
Feastmaster family owning an inn in Marienburg,

Tips to play a Feastmaster
To play a Feastmaster play your hunger as caring
about quality in addition to quantity. Pay extra for
good food, talk about spices and meat qualities.
Reference tasty food often and suggest ways to
cook. Another tip can be to talk first to halflings if
ence for dealing with them. If playing a Feastmaster
halfling try to play as something between a gnoblar
feeling to your halfling. As a halfling also make sure
to use the Feastmaster name especially with ogres
and halflings.
Rules to play a Feastmaster Halfling
To play a Feastmaster Halfling simply generate a
halfling as per the normal rules up until you gener-
ate your career. At this point instead roll it from the
gnoblar career table.
Sayings of the Feastmaster Tribe
Uncurried stew: Bit of a waste. Could be better. Note that
this isn’t a grave insult or a saying that claims great waste,
it’s a bit of a waste and not as good as it could be, not ac-
tually bad.
That’s a spicy pie: That’s cool/good/nice. Used as an an-
swer to seeing or hearing about something you find ap-
pealing.
Like marinated Rhinox: Something good that’s made even
better. For example one could say “Adding spikes to that
club was like marinated rhinox” to say those spikes made
your favorite club even better or “Those spices made the
meal like marinated rhinox” to say they improved an al-
ready good dish.

The Deathtoll Tribe
लालची कमीने
"Now, with last head merchant eaten, you feel good
idea pay, yes?"
—Burp Huglag Tollman
The Deathtoll tribe holds a place on the spice road
and makes as much use of it as they can, extorting
anyone passing their way with high tolls. This
makes them rich but unpopular. Other tribes along
the spice road have at several times been known to
lower the price for hiring them as mercenaries if
they are hired to break through the tollstations of the
Deathtoll tribe.
The Deathtoll tribe holds an uncommon placement.
While many tribes set up near traderoutes few set
up in non-mountainous terrain and even among
these “flatlanders” the placement is usually in an
area rich in food which the Deathtoll tribe certainly
doesn’t hold. The haunted forest holds few living
animals and while a good deal of strangely eerie
plants can be found and eaten there a plant-rich diet
is hardly an ogres preference. And having to send
whole parties of bulls in to just gather is not cost effi-
cient. Thus they come to rely on the taxes just to get
decent food and the feasts other tribes hold when a
beasthunter returns they instead hold when a eich
toll has been taken. Indeed few beasthunters ever
return with food to this tribe, the lands are poor
hunting grounds and once the exile has made his
home in the Mountain of Mourns he prefers not to
return to these lowlands.
With the dislike the ogres face from their western kin
they have little choice but to venture south to Ind
when the wanderlust kicks in and many are those
that return to the tribe with symbols to one of the
many gods and goddesses of wealth, gold or similar
found in Ind. In fact so common is this that a grand
tent called “The temple of various wealth” has been
raised where countless icons to a wide variety of
wealth deities has been placed so that ogres can
enter and pray to the general concept of wealth and
money. In this building no gnoblars are allowed and
a small group of human mercenaries are kept as
templeguards there. This temple was grander in the
past for roughly two hundred years ago the Grabber
tribe executed an ambitious heist and emptied the
temple of every icon. The temple has been re-
stocked since then but the grudge against the Grab-
bers remain to this day and is unlikely to vanish until
all Grabbers have been killed and eaten.
Their tyrant Lord Extorter Vurg Tragg Deathtoll is a
muscular ogre with a menacing way about him. Few
can present threats with quite his presence. With
him he has a group of name gnoblars that unlike
most who are trained to mention titles are taught to
mention toll rates in various languages, meaning
that his threats are accompanied by a cacophony of
exorbitant rates for passage stressing them even
further.
As far as his leadership style the Lord Extorter is
quite conservative pushing for their traditional ap-
proach of taking tolls. Some want to take the tribe in
new directions however, to migrate to better lands
where they can hunt for themselves, most popularly
suggested the Ind highlands. Bruisers try to keep
these ideas in check but newly returned maneaters
threaten to overturn Vurg and even some of his own
bruisers start to see how the winds are changing.
Tips to play a Deathtoll
Extortion, this is the way you have gotten paid in the
past and the one you are the most comfortable with.
However having left your tribe to wander its likely
you want to try other ways, to hunt and fight for food
instead. A good idea is to roleplay trying to make an
earnest living (according to you, this might very well
be plundering or other illegal activities) but falling
back into extortion just cause you’re used to it. Also
play yourself as very used to and streetwise regard-
ing official and unofficial tolls. Immediately under-
standing what people are implying when asking for
money where other complex sentences take a mo-
ment to process. If adventuring in the empire have
an unusual respect for the roadwardens, treating
them as having higher status than they do.
Sayings of the Deathtoll Tribe
Gettalive fees: A catchall phrase to add an extra price to
something. Said fast as part of the price most often but slow
with each word separate “Get. Ta. Live. Fee.” if you want to
drive home the threat.
By the gods o greed!: What a deal! Called out when you feel
something is very worth the price.
The meat extorted is the meat most sweet: Saying that
means hard work and toughening it out is worth it. Might
confuse others who feel extortion isn’t hard work but steal-
ing. The Deathtolls however see extorting as hard work on
account of the placement it forced upon their tribe and the
hard waits for good tolls to bring in.

The Bloodmaw Tribe
"So you killed a bunch of Mammoths heh? Well
good fer ya but hunting what walks across the land
is easy. Huntin what burrows beneath, that takes
skill.
Huntin the Dread Maw of the wastes, that’s what
separates pretenders from true hunters.”
—Crusher Rudd Bloodmaw
The Bloodmaw is a tribe located along the Path to
the East as the last tribe of the mountains to be
found before leaving for the wastes. A location that
sets them in conflict with the Kurgans more often
than not though it only occasionally escalates to an-
ything more than skirmishes.
Their location is not what gives them their name or
their reputation however. It is their favoured prey.
The chaos beast known as Dread Maw. The Dread
Maw is a terrifyingly powerful subterranean creature
which has haunted the mires of tainted sludge and
ooze that stretch across the vast expanse of
the Chaos Wastes.
The first sign of these loathsome beasts is an omi-
nous rumbling from beneath the ground as the
Dread Maw grind and chew their way through the
earth, swiftly followed by an eruption of mud and the
stench of putrid slime as their gaping maws burst
forth.
With their circular mouths, studded with rows of sick prey may well come into play at some point but
-shaped teeth and glistering tendrils, Dread Maws
can seize and devour a fully armored man in sec-
onds. Often smaller prey is swallowed whole, to be
slowly digested within their grossly distended bel-
lies, the Dread Maw's flesh being translucent
enough that their victims struggle can be seen by
their comrades. Even the largest creatures will fall
prey to Dread Maws. Bursting forth from beneath
the ground and latching on with their hooked teeth,
they can tear their way inside the greatest beast,
eviscerating them form within and quickly hollowing
out their ruptured carcass.
Few can forget the sight of a
mighty mammoth or Chimerae bellowing in object
pain as it is eating alive, the wriggling tail of a Dread
Maw protruding from the wounds made in its own
torso. There are few creatures as horrific as the
Dread Maw, their malted grey flesh shot through by
pulsing veins of unhealthy hue and choked with cor-
ruption and rot, and stigmatised with open wounds
and severed limbs and mutations. The entire length
of a Dread Maw, their bodies stretching for many
yards, is coated in a disgusting layer of poisonous
slime and any warrior brave enough to assault them
will have their weapons fouled and limbs caught in
the vile substance, which is almost impossible to
hack through. Due to its unnatural nature, most
Dread Maws never look exactly alike, such is the
price of mutation.
To combat them special weapons and tracking
methods have been developed and the hunters pur-
suing them are armed with strange specialized wea-
ponry, from marksmans crossbows made to target
the beasts eyes to ironforged pronged pikes to
lunge into its gaping maw where the slimy skin does
not protect it and even more cunning traps such as
strapping a rhinox with bags of poison to weaken
the beast when it devours it.
Skinning and preparing a Dread Maw as a meal is
something that takes several butchers days of hard
work but something that the tribe agrees is worth it
for although highly poisonous normally when pre-
pared just right the poisons can be neutralized and
the tasty meat be offered.
In honour of this their greatest of preys they drab
crude paintings of it in blood across gutplates and
banners, giving the tribe their name.
Tips to play a Bloodmaw
Playing a Red Maw is fairly similar to playing any
other ogre. The knowledge of your tribes favoured
apart from that their demeanour and experiences
does not differ too much from the norm.
Sayings of the Bloodmaw Tribe
Fear the Maw not seen: Just because you don’t see an
enemy doesn’t mean an enemy isn’t there. Be wary.
Like a strike from below: Something unexpected. Despite
what many assumes it holds no negative connotations.
Examples; “Bunch a meat for me? Tanks, comes like a
strike from below.” or “That ambush came like a strike
from below, I’d kill that lookout gnoblar if the Kurgans
hadn’t already.
Mawflesh: Something that’s worth hard work and waiting
for. Examples; “Yeah, that passin gunsmith says it’ll take a

The Loose Tooth Tribe
"There's things down there in the lower caves...
'Ungry, blind things. Things that weren't right when
they was born. They sniff you out, and then... well,
there aint much to eat down there that's all I'm say-
in'...”
—Unknown Ogre
The Loose Tooth tribe lays right by gorger path, the
perilous road that leads from Gorger rock to the
Path to the East. This is a dangerous position but
also one of strategic importance for their lands sep-
arates the northernmost stretches of the Mountains
of Mourn from the rest. It is not nearly as well-
trafficked as the Ivory or Spice Roads but Gorger
Path still sees enough traffic to make extortion and
tolls valuable, even if they almost exclusively get to
extort other ogres. The name of the path is not a
pointless moniker however. Trailing from Gorger
Rock where many of the strange mutated creatures
known as Gorgers dwell the path naturally finds it-
self beset by these monsters from time to time as
the creatures move about in caves under the path
listening for footsteps above that they then follow to
cave openings from which to launch their assaults.
In fact it may be good that the Loose Tooth tribes
guards the road, though no other tribe would admit
that, for had they not patrolled it the monsters would
likely be even more numerous than they already
are.
The Loose Tooths are less nomadic than many of
their kin and as a result hold a relatively small terri-
tory which even has permanent buildings. At two
places along the Gorger path massive towers
stretch to the sky, both commissioned by the chaos
dwarfs to be made with ogres in mind. They were
made hundreds of years apart and the costs where
extreme requiring decades of mercenary work from
the entire tribe each time. These watchtowers now
guard the path imposingly making the Loose Tooths
more likely to get their asked toll.
What they are most famous for is however that it is
with this tribe the leadbelchers originate. In
2420 IC - after defeating an artillery train out
of Nuln, they captured six Empire Great Cannons.
They found they could carry a cannon into battle,
and although many Ogres were killed in the learning
process, soon the first Leadbelchers were born. Lat-
er, in deals with the Chaos Dwarfs the Ogres pur-
chased Leadbelcher cannons of their own. Soon
coming to use them as a mainstay armament of
their armies and toll keeping patrols.
The gnoblars of the tribe are quite careful not to
stray too far from the ogres for they all know of gno-
blars that have been grabbed and eaten by the
gorgers below. As a result their shantytowns have
become far less sprawling and instead press togeth-
er very tight clinging to ogretents and the towers.
Indeed on the towers the shanties hang like an out-
er layer that constantly has parts falling apart and
being attached back on again. Seeing these gno-
blars dwelling high up a large amount of blood vul-
tures have come to dwell nearby, constantly circling
the tower to grab an unwary gnoblar as it climbs be-
tween places of relative safety.
Their current tyrant, Grolkfagg Loose Tooth, is vio-
lent and cruel even for an ogre. Constantly in a bad
mood and with a desire to beat someone up. This
likely comes from an old wound on his right leg from
when a Stonehorn nearly ripped it off. He limps now
and the leg causes constant agony not even the
butchers could relieve for him.
The Wanderers of the Loose Tooth often take the
path east to Kurgan lands and fight alongside chaos
for a while before returning home though travels to
the Chaos Dwarfs or further away is not uncommon
either.
Tips to play a Loose Tooth
Tone down the wanderlusts of the ogres a bit as a
Loose Tooth, play more fine with staying in place

ready have.
Sayings of the Loose Tooth Tribe
Loner, Loner, Gorger-feed: A tease the calves often use
when they exclude someone from their games. Implies that
if you walk around alone you’ll get eaten by a gorger. Used
to be part of a longer taunt but the rest is forgotten.
There is always a Loose Tooth: There is always something
wrong. Used when something seems suspiciously good to
remind people that there probably is something wrong with
it.
Shanty-kicker: An ogre that is hilariously annoyed by the
gnoblars being so close. Often used as part of a call like
“Here! Shanty-kicker at it!” so that people can gather and
laugh at the inevitably violent outburst against the gnoblars.
As gnoblars too find other gnoblars demise kinda hilarious
they also tend to point and giggle at these outbursts which
further annoys the ‘Shanty-kicker’.

many Gnoblars are keen to serve the Butcher,

disappears however. Although Gnoblars are not
really slaves, most Butchers will not tolerate the

it wasn't for the Butchers' uncanny ability to track

The last and most compelling reason not to

This lax view of duty and complete lack of

usually works sometimes they get caught as

you can spend one after using a ”Ranged” test you did not re-
roll to have it ricochet and hit a target of your choice (if the
original attack hit the new target must be another one) dealing
the weapons base damage but no SL bonus.

Scrapper
Gnoblar
Most Gnoblar Scrappers or Magpies as they are also
known are the merchants and inventors of Gnoblar-kind.
Perhaps due to the extreme poverty they live in, most
Gnoblars have a miserly approach to possessions and
carefully horde away anything shiny or crafted. The
scrap and broken items other races throw away are the
basis of the Gnoblar economy. As Ogres tend to loot
many of their possessions from other races, Gnoblar
tribes are the proud owners of detritus from across the
world.
The splintered remains of an Elven bow might rest
against a wagon spoke taken from the Ivory Road, both
supporting the tattered remains of an Imperial banner
and all suffering the indignity of ending their days as a

or steal.
The richest move between the tribes in Rhinox-drawn
caravans with a band of guards, trading with anyone
they meet. Most travellers would be hard pressed to find
anything more valuable than a rusted axe, a cracked
helm or a broken belt buckle in these 'treasure' wagons,
however, occasionally the Gnoblars will have something
of genuine value. It is very rare for them to have so-
mething of obvious utility, however, as an Ogre will
simply take anything they want from them. The Magpies
also sell many 'artefacts' taken from the corpses of great
heroes or looted from fabulous ruins. Most of these
items are obviously faked and replaced after each sale,
but the far-fetched stories behind them have normally
been in the merchant's family for generations.
Some Scrappers, whilst pawing over broken items from
across the world, become inspired to emulate the
craftspeople of other races. Unfortunately, gross incom-
petence, theft and constant bickering are just some of
the factors stacked against budding Gnoblar inventors.
However, Gnoblars make up for some of these defici-
encies with blind enthusiasm and a light-hearted appro-
ach to safety, and although their designs are without
exception inefficient and dangerous, some are actually
fairly effective. It was just such a design, 'inspired' by
Crossed

Halberds
mous Scrapper Bik the Nail to infamy with his creation
of the Scraplauncher.
Often the most valuable thing in a Scrap Caravan is the
Rhinox that pull it. Gnoblar-trained Rhinox are a rare,
bad tempered and valuable commodity. In some shanty
towns, individual Gnoblars will specialise in variety of
diverse beast-handling skills, ranging from safe but
grubby jobs like dung-beetle farming all the way up to
Rhinox training. Most Rhinox are so bad-tempered and
aggressive they are almost impossible to train to the
level of domestication a human would consider safe
and acceptable. However, the odd trampling or goring
is considered a bonus to most Gnoblars, as it makes
fine entertainment. New-born Rhinox are stolen or
caught by Trappers, handed over to beast-trainers or
Scrappers of the same tribe, and trained. Most of this
training consists of groups of Gnoblars standing along
the back and flanks of the poor Rhinox with sharp
sticks, however it has proven to be remarkably ef-
fective. Master beast-handlers often have rights of initi-
ation where apprentices must sneak under a Rhinox
and cut off a piece from its shaggy pelt with a sharp
knife. Delicately put, sometimes the pieces they slice
off greatly aid in the beast's domestication.

Human, Ogre, Dawi-Zharr, Dark Elf, Skaven
In most lands of the world slavery is outlawed. Most
but not all. Among the tribes of chaos be they
Norscan, Kurgan or Hung, slavery is commonplace
for it is seen as natural that a good and god-blessed
warrior should have slaves for menial tasks so he
can devout his time in ways more pleasing to the
dark gods. Slaves also come in most handy when
sacrifices need to be made. The few number of
dwarfs dwelling amongst the men of Norsca also
accept slavery as part of life though they tend to
grumble about how it takes jobs from honest hard-
working folk.
In the lands of the Chaos Dwarfs and Dark Elves
slavery stands as a backbone of their entire eco-
nomies. The Dawi-Zharr use mostly greenskins but
nage to get ahold of them. The Druchi instead cap-
ture all but their own kin to use as slaves running
raids to catch them.
In the Mountains of Mourn the ogre tribes use sla-
ves but these are mainly gnoblars. A specie better
at working than being eaten. Some ogres become
slavers for profit and kidnapping other species to
use or sell but this is largely seen as slightly odd.
The ’normal’ response to capturing someone is to
either eat them, ransom them for food and money or
ransom them and pull a bluff to eat them anyway.
Keeping check over prisoners for a long time so that
you can sell them to completely other guys seem
too much work for most ogres. It’s not seen as
wrong for any moral reasons, just because of being
odd in the same way that someone making their
clothes only from ratskin wouldn’t be seen as a bad
person in human lands, just an odd one.

Leadbelcher
Ogre
Leadbelchers, the Ogre term for both the weapon and the unit
that carries them, are the heavy artillery of the Ogre Kingdoms.
Ogres have long been on the receiving end of artillery fire, and
they have grown to respect and admire its tremendous killing
power. Indeed such weapons are everything an Ogre admires;
they are big, loud and have a tremendous ability to smash
things aside if close quarter combat is prevalent. However,
forging any kind of cannon is beyond the ken of Ogres and for
years they had to make do with the salvaged remnants from
battlefields, ripped off their carriages and carried by the mas-
sive brutes like handguns.
There are many Ogre legends about these early pioneers in
the art of gunnery, like the tales of the Loose Tooth tribe and
the army of Nuln, or the Ironstompers and the attack on Karak
Unfirth are often the first to be told. Units baring such looted
weaponry were unreliable, but produced enough spectacular
results that Ogre Tyrants were always greedily seeking to get
their hands on more artillery pieces. It wasn't until the Ogre
Kingdoms began to regularly trade with the Chaos Dwarfs that
specially forged barrels became readily available. Now it is
rare to see a tribe without a unit of Leadbelchers. Their potenti-

al to cause destruction and the sheer joyful noise of their
blasts is simply too great for most Ogre tribes to pass up.
It is easy enough to spot Ogres from a Leadbelcher unit, for
their faces are scorched, they bare severe powder burns, re-
gularly feature eye patches and often resort to protective metal
plates hammered into their faces. This is the legacy of point-
blank detonations and an imperfect, if not downright clumsy,
understanding of black powder. Regardless, these hardy and
noticeably deaf Ogres feel it is well worth sacrificing eyebrows,
an eye or even a few fingers for the chance to level such de-
vastating weapons at a foe. In fact, Leadbelchers without
some scorching or disfigurement are looked down upon as
novices by the rest of the unit until they manage to blast off a
few chunks of themselves.
To fire their weighty guns, Leadbelchers fill the barrel with sho-
vel-like fistfuls of crude black powder, metal shot, rusty nails,
an assortment of wickedly bladed weaponry and occasionally
an actual cannonball or similar sized boulder. The Leadbel-
chers go to battle with smouldering tapers pushed through the
flesh of their scalps or held between their teeth. When a
prospective target comes into range, they touch the taper to
the spark-holes and let loose thunderous blasts of hot metal
and pure concussive force. If all goes well, these shots will
blast apart the target or shred it with a salvo of rusted blades.
Entire ranks have been blown to smithereens before the hel-
lish firepower of the Leadbelchers, but if it goes poorly, a volley
will merely inconvenience the foe with hot wind, smoke and a
pinging sound as small metal fragments fly out of the thick
coils of smoke that momentarily hide the Ogres.

The Ironblaster is an Ogre war-machine consisting of a giant
Halberds
cannon pulled by a Rhinox as well as the name of its opera-
tor. The cobbled-together wagon that is used to mount the
enormous gun barrel is also used to haul the vast quantities
of gunpowder needed. Such is the weight of the vast
contraption that the Rhinox which pulls it grunts and strains
under the pressure and even the stone wheels that hold it up
can only last for a few battles before cracking under the im-
mense weight.
Ogres use few things that require maintenance, however, the
destructive force of an Ironblaster has persuaded
many Tyrants to order a search for extra wheels or support-
horns when the device breaks down, as it is prone to do on
the many nomadic moves of the tribe. Between battles, it
requires a virtual army of Torch-gnoblars to maintain the war
machine and its carriage, the little runts often needing to
patch the rotting planks together or use gut-rope to bind the
vast horns back into place so the cannon can once again
swivel.

Fighter
Gnoblar
The larger members of Gnoblar society have a ten-
dency towards independence. These Gnoblars forsake
their baggage-carrying brethren and band together into
loose but numerous groups that take to the battlefield in
the hope of stealing some particularly choice shiny
things before the Corpse-Harvest.
Gnoblar Fighters arm themselves with an assortment of
broken bottles, swords, spear tips, false legs, fangwea-
sel teeth, pointy sticks and rusted daggers - basically
anything they can get their grubby, grasping hands
upon. Most of the time the Gnoblars will loiter behind
the Ogres, making threatening yelps and menacingly
shuffling forward. They can unleash a hail of sharp stuff,
ranging from bristlehogs or sharpened horshesoes to
jagged rocks - while short-ranged, such pointy rubbish
can occasionally cause some real damage. In extreme
circumstances (i.e., actual conflict) Gnoblar Fighters will
frenziedly jab their enemies in the nether regions with
their 'weapons' until either they or the enemy stops mo-
them to pull down their foes in a tide of snapping maws,
stabbing blades and pure malice. When things do not
quite so well and they start to die in their droves, well,
they're only Gnoblars...
No matter how many Gnoblars meet the endless variety
of violent deaths promised by the hostile lands of the
Ogres, there always seem to be more to take their
place, which means when Ogres go to war, so do Gnob-
lars. It's rare for an Ogre Tyrant to trust Gnoblars to do
anything important, especially in battle. Nonetheless,
Gnoblars have their uses; a common tactic is to send
them ahead of the army, so they can attack with missile
fire, and perhaps even in close combat before they
inevitably run away. Some Tyrants even use them in
hopes of exhausting an enemy's arrows, though this fact
is never mentioned to them as part of their duties.
Some of the gnoblar fighters with great effort to their
small little brains learn how to use slings. These flingers
can keep a bit of distance from the foe balancing out the
risks of one of their kin killing them to steal their slings.

Ironfist
Originating from the traditional Ogre sport of pit-fighting, Ogres often cover their off-hand with some kind of shield, spiked gauntlet or
heavy glove, known as ironfist. This can be used to bat aside even the strongest attacks in a similar way to a giant buckler, or merely to
smash an enemy's face into an unrecognisable pulp. They have not seen widespread military use outside of the Ogre Kingdoms but are
popular amongst pitfighters of other lands too. They are weapons of the parrying weapon group and require one hand to use. They have
