In this week’s Warhammer Old World lore dive, we explore the later history and legendary figures of the Ogre Kingdoms, from solitary Ogre Hunters who roam the wilderness with Sabretusk companions hunting monsters, to the rise of famous Ogre mercenaries who fought in wars across the Old World and beyond. We follow key events such as Ogres fighting in the Great War Against Chaos, serving in human armies, being hired by Dark Elves, and even influencing engineers like Leonardo da Miragliano. The episode also covers the creation of Leadbelchers—Ogres who carry massive cannons into battle—and the rise of Maneaters, veteran mercenaries who travel the world adopting foreign weapons, clothing, and fighting styles. Finally, the story culminates with the rise of Greasus Goldtooth as Overtyrant, the growing wealth and population of the Ogre Kingdoms, and the beginning of a new Ogre migration and expansion, showing how Ogres evolved from isolated mountain tribes into a global mercenary force found across the entire Warhammer world.Chat with us on DiscordPatreonMerchandiseQuartermasterListen Ad-FreeSHOW IMAGES:1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12 - 13 - 14 - 15 - 16 - 17 - 18Theme Music: Tavern by Alex Rufire
