WarriorFish Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I'm assuming you mean Ogryns as in the unit, so that's not Bullgryns? They're not a commonly seen unit due to the somewhat unique place they sit. They suffer from being the generalist in an army of specialists (mostly) - Bullgryns hit much hard in combat and are much tougher thanks to their improved saves. Shooting is something Guard aren't short of and unfortunately Ogryn shooting isn't anything special :confused: I think they'll do better outside of a Guard list for it, as a unit that can handle infantry units well either in shooting or combat where their higher Strength and Toughness will server them well. A lot depends on what sort of list you intend to run, as it's easy to recommend Bullgryns over them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I have some old metal ones that at some point I will finally finish painting My plan for them was to counter assault in my defensive line as they're slightly cheaper than Bullgryns and can at least tarpit something Although as WF says, they're considerably outclassed by Bullgryns so I can't say its the best decision, I just need an excuse to run them! :lol: :sweat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mertbl Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Unless you want to run pure guard, I found the custodes a better deal. Better weapons, armor and invuls, buffs are built in and unstoppable where a psychic power or stratagem can be denied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuardDaddy Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 For 50ish points you get bodyguard. I've been playing around with them - they benefit from chatachter rules re targeting and heroic intervention. I haven't tried Ogryn in game for reasons noted above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paedrig Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I only have the 3 bullgryns from the last christmas bundle, and the triple bodyguards do some serious damage for their points. GuardDaddy hit it right on the head, proper positioning keeps them safe, and poised for the intervention. Looking forward to the Elites supplement for Killteam.
