After about twenty years I figure these guys have been patient enough.
Two boxes of parts spares bits and pieces from a number of kits not all ogres but some of the larger weapons from other gw kits too (black orcs and Minotaur mostly) should by now furnish enough to create a Warband
Looks to be about thirty in total (27 foot and 3 mounted)
So should furnish five or six units depending on make up 2,4 or 6 men
First problem…pretty sure I had at least a brace of sabre cats but a thorough churning of fifteen or so other boxes of accumulated wargames figures has turned up zilch-a-Rooney…🤔
There are no problems only opportunities and ideas spring from adversity so we will use this cowpat of figure loss age as a spring board of identity
We have nine fenrisian wolves which are languishing in a state of mild neglect that can be requisitioned in to the current summer project.
And seeing as I have no intention of pauperising myself to buy enough warhammer rule books or be using the Warband for competition purpose we can pretty much free our imagination
Replacing the cats with wolves and using them as they’re own separate unit will also fill out the light cavalry/skirmisher section (which we don’t have 🤷♂️) and probably doesn’t exist in ogre culture.
Two hunting packs of four wolves to use as a fast attack/screen should suffice as they are quite large though not as large as the rhino sized thunder wolves which are to be the mounts of the orc army.
Marrying this with the banner that turned up during churning should be able to crow bar a wolf ish feel/totem/emblem into the Warband 👍🏼
Cheers all
