Imperial Guard Rumor Roundup

[Mr Mystery]

Ogryns are simply painted to cleanly.

Bit of roughing up and weathering would suit them nicely.

[Blood Shadow]

For me those pictures speak volumes about the quality of the designers at both Forge World and then at GW...

Those Ogryn are the worst models I've seen since from GW since the plastic Warhammer Ogres.....they're totally disproportional, even considering they're supposed to be post/sub human...how hard can it be to design huge freakin' muscle heads with riot shields?!

I love the idea of ogryns/ ogres, but they're totally unrepresented in the GW range, very disappointed....

But the Horus model....justified awesome

Oh wow! Gas masks for ogryn? My Steel Legion are suddenly getting an ogryn detachment! And I love the last little guy, with the Commisar voxer sitting on his shoulder. It's so comical that the ogryn has no choice but to listen to it!

^This. I'm really surprised by how poor they look. I know it's just initial pics and there may be better ones to come but, so far, I'm really not impressed by these, or any other, Ogryns.

Horus looks great. I can't wait to see bigger, clearer pictures. Should be amazing.

Also, I'm loving the truck 'n' troops. They'll be a happy addition to my growing hoard... er... collection. The Hydra seems like a nice piece too.

On the whole, these are great. Hopefully the Ogryns aren't as bad as they appear, but then I thought that about the Centurions and the Abomination... ahem... Stormraven.

Basing military strategy on armored vehicles has not historically worked out in many cases... if they can be defeated by RPGs and IEDs,

German Blitzkreig 1940, Gulf Wars tank offensives, 6 day war? With Infantry support and air cover Armour is still a Major winner in open country. If it were not so countries would not still be building tanks in numbers.

They look and sound good in real life too.

[Bork]

the new ogryns heads look horrific, the one with the grey mustache is terrible. easily fixed with some ogre bulls heads though and they'd be fine. horus looks amazing.

Oh, I love those shields...

German Blitzkrieg was part of what war again? Can't remember who won that one..

Outside of that, you're cherry picking.. I said in many cases. In current modern conflicts and in Vietnam, more often than not armor proved to be a giant pain in the ***.

The side that built more tanks.
