Total War: Warhammer 3 – Ogre Kingdoms Legendary Lords
They’re goliath, they’re gluttonous, they are the hungry hungry new legendary lords of the Ogre Kingdoms faction in Total War: Warhammer 3.
Driven by the all-consuming Maw, the Ogre Kingdoms are rushing forth to devour the world in Total War: Warhammer 3. But gathering these hungry brutes together and whipping ’em into a devastating force takes guts. And when it comes to Ogres, nobody has more guts than Greasus Goldtooth.
Tradelords Greasus Tribestealer Drakecrush Gatecrasher Hoardmaster Goldtooth the Shockingly Obese, as he is more properly known, is the biggest and beefiest Ogre. Strong and fat and cunning, Greasus has made tyranny into an art, rising to the rank of Overtyrant and becoming rich enough to decide he’s “done with walking”.
He has an understanding of power that few others do, and you can see that in his unique abilities.
- Everyone Has Their Price: as your massive, powerful opponent sprinkles you with his spare gold, most combatants are going to rethink their place in the battle.
- Sceptre of Titans: The legendary staff of Greasus grants him huge power boosts, particularly when taking on other Ogres to retain his dominance.
But Greasus isn’t the only great tyrant in the Ogre Kingdoms. Skrag the Slaughterer is the other Ogre Legendary Lord. He is the legendary Prophet of the Great Maw, sometimes called Gore-Harvester or Maw-that-Walks. His every battle is a bloody prayer to the Great Maw, and he is the most powerful wielder of Gut Magic in the world.
Backed by the hunger in the belly of all Ogres, Skrag can call upon the Lore of the Maw, which includes:
- Braingobbler (Hex)
- The spellcaster chomps through a severed skull, gobbling up the brain and projecting the decapitated victim’s worst nightmares into enemies’ minds, sapping their will to fight on.
- Single-target leadership debuff.
- Overcast version has extended effect duration.
- Bullgorger (Augment)
- Devouring the heart of a bull Rhinox or Mournfang, raw vitality is projected into the Great Maw, increasing the ferocity of the Ogres’ attacks.
- Single-target large buff to melee attack and armour-piercing weapon damage.
- Overcast version has extended effect duration.
- Toothcracker (Augment (Area))
- By consuming a hunk of tooth-breaking granite, the spellcaster bestows the rock’s resilience and the sturdiness of the mountains themselves into his brethren.
- Increases armour and missile resistance for all units in an area.
- Overcast version has extended effect duration.
- Bonecrusher (Explosion)
- Stuffing a handful of bones into his mouth, the spellcaster crunches them up whilst cursing his foes, who are crushed by a giant fist which pounds them to dust.
- Small AOE that deals large damage after a short wind-up with significant armour-piercing properties.
- Overcast version deals additional damage and armour-piercing damage.
- Trollguts (Regeneration)
- After downing the toxic and utterly repulsive innards of a Troll, the Ogres’ wounds seem to stitch themselves together before their enemies’ dumbfounded eyes.
- Significant single-target heal over time.
- Overcast version has extended effect duration.
- The Maw (Explosion)
- The Butcher can summon the power of the Great Maw itself, causing the ground beneath to split wide open and crush any foe trapped within it.
- Huge, long wind-up explosion.
- Overcast version does more armour-piercing damage.
Beyond that, Skrag can also summon units of Gorgers at a moment’s notice.
