Time for more cool stuff from the vaults of mantic as Justin and James check out what you'll be getting in the Ogre army.

The Ogre does what ogres can,
Deeds quite impossible for Man,
But one prize is beyond his reach:
The Ogre cannot master speech.
About a subjugated plain,
Among it’s desperate and slain,
The Ogre stalks with hands on hips,
While drivel gushes from his lips.
Ooogre Oooogre Ooogre – Awesome one Guys!
Love these models, and the Uruk-Hai style paint scheme suits them really nicely.
I’m liking the art direction
Much prefer these to the GW style ogres.
Agreed. Very much so.
Black orcs.
These are very good looking Ogres.
Good looking models. Going to have to add a few to my collection.
the ogre s look really good
thank you
“I say, is that an Ogre army?”
“What? I can’t hear you over the approaching Ogre’s”
Love it.
If I start KoW it’ll be with ogres!
Are they neutral?
Do they have magic?
yeah, they are neutral
They are nice but the legs are all wrong, they ruin an otherwise great sculpt.
They come in the VHS type boxes? OMG, they would look way more awesome on the shelf than the ordinary cardboard box.
And yes – OGRES! HULK SMASH! 🙂
nice line breaker units going on there
Kings of War!
I can’t shake the feeling that the crossbow part is a bit small for an ogre
Maybe it’s just years of heroic scale talking.
Ireally like that they made the ogres less comical than most games, who tend to make ogres either completely stupid and/or a big blob
tad top heavy but nice none the less – love the blunderbuss haha
The Ogres look good. Let’s see them in a battle report.
Absolutely amazing models… I’ve had them for a bit now and I want more. Really top notch! 🙂
Anyone know of anyway I can convert the Ogres to look more oriental.
Kings of war week is awesome! These minis are totally quality! I hope this game catches on across the pond….to the north… Up and to the right really… Great videos!
I really like these, I like that they have found their own style and I quite frankly prefer these lean mean fighting machines over some other designs.
I must admit I’ve yet to meet a neutral Orc!
I really like how you can take allies, it reminds me of the good old days of WHFB. I think these could be a addition to another force.
These are so awesome if i don’t get some for the army I will have to get the just the crossbow to put out during a D&D game just to hear the player go “Oh crap”.
I was planning on just getting a few Ogres to throw into my other armies once in awhile but these guys look so good and I love their story so much I will most likely have to start a full army for them.
I must say I will enjoy picking up some ogres when I have the cash to do it. Keep them coming boys.
I really like the KoW Ogres, they are outstanding models.
I like that the crossbows have arrows. When that point was made in the vid I looked at some minis I have and no arrow in the pose. Never noticed before.
LOVE those.
I’ve got them at home, they’re my favorite Mantic models, with some of the undead !
Mantic really hit the mark with this army.
Those look really cool, Uruk Hai paint job really suits them well!
Be nice if the Xbow guy had a shooting pose though, you think it’s doable without a heavy conversion?
Looks good.
Orges are nasty looking!
These models just look mean and hungry for destruction.
The Ogres are fantastic, I wish I got more through the kickstarter but there is always Mantic’s website. Also for anyone still playing Mordheimesque games, that command buckler makes a great spiked gauntlet.
I actually modeled all of my Tomb King Skeleton Archers with arrows and bowstrings…. its a lot of work but I swear the dice reward it.
Very tempting…
These are so sweet! I need to get on this!
Great looking ogres.with enough variety to make each one a unique figure.
Entry 12!
How cant you love this??!
These guys look awesome, will look great with dwarfs
I do like these models.
Please no more singing
Lovely ogres, favorite army so far.
I love how you don’t need a ton of figures for the ogre army. Easy to paint up an army!
seeing these is really making me want to collect kings of war
I love the poses of these ogres.
An interesting take on making Ogres neutral. Most other game systems make them evil.
Like the fact there is a very clan like feel to them, plus the mention of families! Yes these guys have wives and are intelligent. Puts them in their own league as compared to some other types of ogres.
The ogres look really brutal. They’re great miniatures!
Ogres smash!! Look amazing… The ranged ogres are cool…
Love the Ogres baby!
should have added some command bits to my kickstarter pledge
Why must you do this to me mantic, your prices and minis compel me to make an army of every faction QQ
My favourite’s so far
Seriously, who wouldn’t want an army of these ogres?
I like the heft of these models.
Yup, these will be allies in my Orc army.
Those are nice ogres.
I’m convinced, our FLGS in Northern California doesn’t play any Fantasy games so I just ordered a 2 player set. Thanks for all the great previews and reviews !!
These are way awesome
I love the menacing faces on these. No comical poses. Damn fine.
trained ork’s
run for your lifes!!!!!
Haven’t yet decided what skin colour to go with
Yet another great interesting video made
Ive seen these in the flesh and they are nice, its hard to see how good they actually are from the Pictures, which is true with a lot of minis. This Unboxing went a long way to showing how good they are. Plus its always nice to see James “Absolutely” Hewitt…absolutely 🙂
Nice.
stomp some orcs tick
looks good
pretty nice looking mini! Love the two handed weapons!
Great minis, they really look like they are going to war or pub brawl
Can not wait to field some Ogres
awesome… really like the ogres since the first pictures made their waves around the web… have to pick up more of these… great video, thanks!
Fantastic box
Gorgeous
They look brutal
One of my dreams is have an ogre army… amazing miniatures!!
One of the things I love about Ogres is the painting. they are big enough that you dont fell like you are mising details, but they have more than enough designs in them for the advanced painter also.
Best Ogres on the market. These models are full of win.
I have never been a fan of orc/ogre looking armies, but these just look stunning! I am tempted just to get them and paint it up!
the legs seem a littke spondly, maybe they should do less on the bench press and a little more cardio
One of my favourite mantic armies, been struggling not to buy them for a while!
Nice unboxing. Anothing army I’m tempted to add to my ally list… cool models.
It’s really nice to see a different take on a stereotype. They kind of remind me of some of the races in Steven eriksons malazan book of the fallen. Brutal when needed but with a reasonable background.
Ogres! this is just like WFB in look again I ask why have GW not tried these squishing these guys in a long legal battle? I’m glad they haven’t but would not be surprised there evil eye is watching!
spotting the 50 pound(ish) box of ogres in my LGS is what caught my interest in kings of war and love the ranged and 2 handed particularly kings of war week is dumming up some interest at club so may very well be grabbing me some ogres soon
I wonder if the ogres, or all kings of war minis for that matter, are easy to magnetize.
