Ogrun Assault Corps

Strong enough to wield handheld battle cannons that fire explosive shells across the battlefield, the ogrun assault corps serve their employers as highly mobile artillery. Their great strength and fearsome axes allow them to effectively deal death in melee as well as at range.

Thoughts on Ogrun Assault Corps

Ogrun Assault Corps in a nutshell

The Ogrun Assault Corps are big ogres carrying cannons and axes. They are designed to be a versatile ranged unit that can dish it out in melee when the time comes. They are also priced at the low end for ranged medium base infantry to reflect their middling stats. You will find something to do with them almost every turn, but they face stiff competition in Hammer Strike, where there are many standout options available to you.

Combos & Synergies

• Durgen Madhammer likes extra AoEs. They'll do well for him if you want to play Durgen in Hammer Strike. On feat turn you even get to charge, Assault, make your charge attack, then shoot again with Dual Attack.
• Snipe or Fire for Effect (Boosted POW 17 CRA) from Ossrum

Drawbacks & Downsides

• They aren't really great at anything outside of Durgen's feat turn.
• Small AOEs don't normally do much - if any infantry is that densely packed, it is probably blast resistant.
• They aren't good at melee - even with Assault their charge is little better per model than ordinary Trencher Infantry.
• CMA with medium bases is very difficult to pull off with more than two models.
• Squishy for a multi-wound infantry unit.

Tricks & Tips

• With Snipe and Ossrum's feat, their assault shots go super far. They may not hit or damage anything, but they'll shoot really really far.
