Ogor Mawtribes (Warhammer Age of Sigmar)

Ogor Mawtribes are the Age of Sigmar army for players who want large, characterful miniatures and a hard-hitting, in-your-face style of play. They are roaming tribes of huge ogors, led by tyrants and butchers and supported by monstrous beasts. The easiest way in is the Ogor Mawtribes Army Set (Spanish Edition), paired with the Destruction Battletome: Ogor Mawtribes.

What are the Ogor Mawtribes?

The Ogor Mawtribes belong to the Destruction grand alliance. They are huge, gluttonous nomads who travel the realms, and their appetite is the centre of their culture. Each tribe follows a tyrant, and the butchers and slaughtermasters who serve them turn feasting into something close to religion.

Around the ogors you will find giant beasts, hunters and hired mercenaries. The result is a faction with a strong visual identity: bulky, scarred figures, heavy armour scraps, trophies and fur, with a dash of the cold, wild frontier.

How do Ogor Mawtribes play?

In broad terms, the army is a close-combat force built from big models that hit hard and close the distance quickly. It rewards players who like to commit to a plan, push forward and let large units do the work. It tends to have fewer, larger models on the table than many other armies, which also makes it a lighter collection to build and paint.

Because ogors are big, you do not need huge numbers to make an army look imposing. That makes the faction a good fit for newer players who want a striking force without a mountain of models. For how the wider game works, see our Warhammer Age of Sigmar guide.

Where should I start an Ogor Mawtribes army?

Start with one box that gives you a playable core, then add a leader and a unit or two you actually enjoy building. A sensible order looks like this:

1. The army set. The Ogor Mawtribes Army Set (Spanish Edition) is a ready-made starting point. Note that it is the Spanish edition, so check that suits you before buying.
2. The battletome. The English-language battletome explains the army, its background and how it is put together for play.
3. A leader. Choose a hero such as Morga the Mighty or the Butcher.
4. A core infantry unit. The Gluttons are the classic ogor foot soldiers.
5. A centrepiece. The Frostlord on Stonehorn gives you a big model to build, paint and show off.

Which Ogor Mawtribes kits are worth knowing?

Heroes and leaders

Tribal leadership is a big part of the faction's identity, and these kits give you a choice of commanders:

• Morga the Mighty – Overtyrant is a named tyrant leader for a tribe, a strong choice if you like special characters.
• Redd the Maw – High Slaughtermaster is a named, magic-minded leader from the butcher side of the culture.
• Butcher – Ogor Mawtribes Miniature Kit gives you a ritual cook-priest, a flavourful and flexible hero.
• Frostlord on Stonehorn is a mounted commander on one of the biggest beasts in the range.

Ogor infantry

The ogor foot units are the heart of the collection:

• Gluttons are the standard ogor warriors, a good first unit to build and paint.
• Ironguts are the heavier, better-armoured ogors, good for a more imposing battle line.
• Cleavers add another ogor melee option with a different look and role.

Beasts, hunters and mercenaries

Beyond the ogors, the range adds hunters and fast raiders that make the army feel like a real travelling tribe:

• Maulbeast Raiders are mounted units that suit players who want beasts and speed in the force.
• Hunters with Sabrefangs bring the tribe's hunting side to the table.
• Bloodpelt Hunter is a hunter character who fits that same theme.
• Grell Firefist – Ogor Mawtribes Mercenary Miniature is a hired gun, a fun addition if you want something outside the core tribe.

How should I paint Ogor Mawtribes?

Ogors are large, which means big areas of skin, fur and cloth. That is good news for beginners: broad surfaces are forgiving and show off simple techniques such as basecoating, shading and drybrushing well. Skin tones, leather, bone and metal make up most of the palette, and you can keep a unified look across the army by using the same few colours on every model.

Many collectors pick a cold, wintry scheme for fur and base edges, or a warmer, earthier one, and keep it consistent. If you are new to the hobby, read How to start painting Warhammer miniatures first, then use the Citadel and Warhammer Colour paints guide to choose paints and understand the different paint types.

Finish the collection with a matching set of Ogor Mawtribes Dice, a small but fun touch for tabletop games.

What rules and books do I need?

The core of your reference material is the Destruction Battletome: Ogor Mawtribes (English). It collects the faction's background, army-building options and the rules that describe how your units work in a game. Check that the edition you hold matches the rules currently in use, since Games Workshop updates its publications over time.

The Army Set is a useful way to begin, but it does not replace the battletome. For anything beyond your first few games, treat the book as an essential companion to your models.

How do Ogor Mawtribes compare with other Destruction armies?

The closest neighbours in the same grand alliance are the Orruk Warclans, who favour numbers and aggression over the ogors' size and presence. If you enjoy collecting different styles of army, you might also look at Ossiarch Bonereapers, Seraphon, Nighthaunt or Maggotkin of Nurgle, each with a very different feel.

Frequently asked questions

Are Ogor Mawtribes good for beginners?

Yes, particularly for people who like big models and a simple, forward plan. You need fewer models than in many armies, and the large surfaces are forgiving to paint. The army set plus the battletome is a comfortable first purchase.

What should I buy first for Ogor Mawtribes?

Begin with the Ogor Mawtribes Army Set and the battletome, then add a hero such as the Butcher or Morga the Mighty. After that, add Gluttons or Ironguts to build out your core.

Is the Army Set in English?

The set we list is the Spanish edition. The battletome we list is the English edition. Check the language on each product page before you buy so that your models and books suit how you want to play.

Do I need a battletome to play?

It is strongly recommended. The battletome describes how your army is built and fought, and it contains the background that gives the faction its personality. It is the main reference for your tribe.

Do you ship Warhammer abroad?

Universe TCG ships worldwide from Spain and has physical shops in Mollet del Vallès, Barberà del Vallès and Segovia. We are an independent hobby store, not an official Games Workshop partner. For a wider overview, see our complete Warhammer buying guide.
