Can we have an Ogryn thread? Ogryns are my favorite.

Gav and Bob tier for Best of /tg/ along with Lego Quest. All year. Every year!

I've always wanted to take some of those big retarded linebackers in a game.

This thread is now about ogryns

>>12421326
Yeah, ogryns!

They're not the best unit in the game, but THEY'RE COOL.

Plus, the best characters in 40k are ogryns. Like Nork Deddog and Gav and Bob.

Potato peels dude...

;_;

First time ever I visited /tg/, gav and bob story was the first thread on the first page. I intended to troll you guys, but I always thought ogryns were cool in DoW so I read it and then I shed manly tears and decided not to. Been here ever since.

>>12421344

Gav should be a unit

His special rule is "YOU KILLED BOB"
He gets a bonus to attacks against chaos and is allowed one reroll on a miss.

I wonder if Gav ever had a baby.

>>12421408
what?
With who?

I'm making an Ogryn squad named SLOVCO. They're all brothers and the leader is the oldest one. His name is Shorty (I accidentally bought an old Ogryn who are a few heads shorter) and he's fucking small for an Ogryn, but makes up for it by being extra mean. He thought joining the Imperials would be cool so he could finally bully around smaller guys than him. Then all 9 of his younger brothers decided to join too and he's still the smallest guy in the unit.
SLOVCO stands for Shorty's League Of Vertically Challenged Ogryns. No one's had the heart (or the balls) to tell him he's the only short one in the group yet.
I intend to make a banner for em once I get to converting some more Ogres from Fantasy. I've only got two of Shorty's brothers completely painted yet, so unfortunately it's not worth showing em yet, but I just loved the idea of having a bunch of Ogryns in the army.

Ogryns are shitty, they need to be rebalanced.

I've actually never seen someone take ogryns in a list.

Baecons pursue; indeed Captcha. Baecons pursue; indeed.

Forgot to upload pic. Derp.

>>12421501

I have, it was an apocalypse game.
They were a rather decent speedbump for the 10k of nids coming down the highway for a turn or so.
Which is pretty impressive for only 5 of them.

>>12421501

I use them often. They eat Mareens for breakfast. They also never survive a game.

>>12421541

So they're like the Slayers in my Dwarf army?

>>12421501
I do when I use my Guard as renegades.

I couldn't resist the FW Chaos Ogryn models, even if their rules do suck.

Aren't they the guard equivalent of termies, just with shitty saves and a fuckton of toughness.

so /tg/, if you were to stat Gav Smith as a character, how would you go about it?

I don't know enough about 40k to do so.

>>12421567
WS4 BS3 S5 T5 W3 I2 A3 Ld6

Which is good.

40pts a model, which is ridiculously overpriced, and why no-one takes Ogryns in their army.

>>12421592
They're also Stubborn and have Furious Charge.

>>12421567
Terminators are actually useful to space marines.

Ogryns have no use in an IG army.

They're dedicated assault troops that cost a fuck load of points, points which would be better spent on something shooty to make sure you never get into an assault in the first place.

I kind of want to continue Gav's story as an Inquisitorial agent, but I'm not sure I could do it justice.

Emperor damnit.... second paragraph and I'm already sad as fuck. What have you done crewmen?!

Who ever wrote this is an evil evil man.... This is so sad I'm about to cry over fucking meat faces.

I killed Bob.

>>12421892
FUCK YOU
FUCK YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE FUCKING LEGION
YOU BASTARD!

>>12421892
YOU FUCKING SON OF A BITCH.

>>12421892
You made me swear off Thousand Sons forever

And I have a Thousand Sons army

>>12421716
Do it, even if it is shitty, just having gav innit will make it decent

>>12421951

SONS OF BITCHES, THOUSANDS OF THEM.

>>12421892
And the hilarious part is that pre-heresy he was probably one of the least dickish of the space marines.

Bob...

*Sniff*

What no love for Tarla or Arry? Heartless fucks

>>12422130
arry was a boss.

A commissar in the finest tradition.

>>12421892
His name is Robert Paulson.

Cmon Writefags, can we get some Gav Smith in here?

I'd settle for anything less than bob/gav slashfic

>>12422215

I did some writefaggotry the other day. Not great stuff but it ain't slash fic.

>>12422248
was it gav? if so post it.

Gav was happy. The sun was cold but Gav was happy. Sum nice guy gave him bread and that made him happy. So did his hat, he liked his hat. He ate the bread and it tasted good, he was happy with the man. He was sad of the fact that he had to kill him.

His nice boss lady told him to stand here and tell everyone he was a polease guy for his captain. She said that when a man in a black coat talked to him for longer than ten seconds (he had to use his fingers to count, it was hard) that he was to kill him when he heard Grint in his ead.

>>12422326
He heard Grint in his ead. This made him sad. He liked the man in the black coat, he gave Gav bread. But Gav had to kill him so Gav did. He grabbed the man and hugged him hard. The man was screaming when he did. Gav kept hugging him until he heard a snap.

Hearing the snap reminded Gav of ork bones snapping. He was happy again until he remembered how nice the man was.

"Now reach inside his coat and take out anything he has in there." He heard Grint's voice in his ead. It hurt to hear it but he was happy to listen.

oh god, the manliest of tears...

>>12422356
Gav took a small book out of the man's coat. He never could learn how to read books even though Arry tried to teach him.

+"Good, now put that somewhere safe and get it back to us down the street."+

Gav put the book in his pocket. Right next to his gun so it was twice as safe. He walked right down the walkway. Leaving his half eaten bread with the dead man. He turned into the open hall between the buildings. Grint kept telling him it was called an alley but he could never say it right.

part 2 is EVEN more awesome

>>12422395
"good job boyo, knew that he'd think you were one of them genestealers perfectly! I mean you fit it quite nicely if ya think about it." Terg said this. Gav didn't like Terg

Terg was mean and always made Gav do sad things. Like killing the nice man, but Terg said that the nice man was a traitor so Gav was happy again.

Traela told Gav that they were looking for the pant theives again. Gav didn't like them, they smelled like bugs and looked ugly like demons. He was mad when he found out and wanted to smash them.

>>12422437
Gav was stuffed into a small metal box. It moved on wheels like a tank but smaller. It smelled like smoke all the time from Terg. Gav didn't like the smoke.

Grint tossed Gav his shotgun back. Gav like his new shotgun, it was shiney like his old las-cannon but small. It blew people up nice when he shot them. Seeing bad people blow up made him happy like his new hat.

Terg tried to steal Gav's hat again while Grint drove the car. Terg always tried to steal Gav's ork skin hat from him. Gav didn't like that because it was a present from Sheexa.

>>12421892
YOU KILLED BOB

>>12422485
The box then shook bad. Terg was scared from this because it was shot.

"Emperor's balls! How'd they find us so fast?!" Terg was screaming. Gav didn't like Terg's screaming voice, it was always high and squeeky. Like an eldar thing when it was squished.

"Didn't you chuck the body somewhere you glax?! Gav didn't know what glax ment. But he thought it ment hero. This made Gav happy when he heard it from Terg.

"No sa'h." Terg's face became mad. Gav didn't like that nor did he like the sight of another box shooting at theirs from behind.

>>12422526

Go on...

>>12422526
Terg and Grint argued about driving and magics. Gav didn't know much about magics other than it killed Bob and Tarla.

Gav was mad and didn't want to hear about magics anymore so he jumped really hard. He exploded out of the box and was hit by the other box while it was moving. The other box kept moving even while Gav was ontop of it.

Gav saw that the passanger was squished so he looked at the driver. The driver looked scared but his face was a bug's so Gav couldn't tell. Gav pointed his shotgun at the driver and pulled the trigger. The driver exploded from the chest up with his smelly blood getting everywhere.

This caused the box to stop moving so fast but it crashed into the small wall too. It almost knocked Gav off the side but Gav was big so he grabbed the top of the box and hoisted it above his head so he hit the wall instead. The box fell over the side with two more bug people screaming inside it, Gav didn't know what happened to them but he hoped they were dead.

Gav didn't like buggies.

>>12422570
"good job Gav! But next time try to just ditch the glaxxing body next time alright?" Gav didn't under stand why the body was a hero or what body they were talking about. But he didn't care. His hat was gone.

It was squished down the road by the box and Gav was sad. Sheexa would be sad too cause that has was her present to him. He promised himself that the bug pant theives would have a hat and one for Sheexa so they can both have them. This sounded good to Gav.

This thread makes me want to do some crazy conversion of Gav holding a thousand sons sorcerer by the throat and beating the shit out of him. So much greenstuff... but it would be the centerpiece of my collection.

>>12422602
"Well this is worse than I first believed." Traela was mad. The book thingy in Gav's pocket told her that the pant theives were all over the underground and they were getting weapons. She said that the nice man was really a bad guy and he was giving the buggies guns that could hurt Emperor loving people.

Gav still couldn't understand why the buggies didn't love the Emperor if they were part human too. But he was going to kill them because they were hurting the Emperor's people (and Gav's hat).

"I suggest we pump the entire lower levels below hab elevations -8 with water. This should wash out most of them while the PDF can handle the stragglers." Said Maars. He was Traela's in-tur-oh-gator. Which ment he asked big questions that hurt Gav's head. Gav liked Maars less then Terg.

>>12422642

Pants stealers, eh? Color me intrigued.

Are there any rules in DH for making Ogryn characters? Because I damn well wanna play one now.

>>12422661
=]
pic related.

>>12422642
"Even though we have the resources to do so Maars such an action would require us to access each of the Local's security control station as well as the water works having to be blown so a stead stream could possibly flow into the correct lower tunnels to reach them." Traela disliked Maars ideas alot.

They were too drawstick is what she told me. Maybe because we was killing buggies instead of demonthings like she was suppos ta is the reason.

"Sheexa and the meat can easily handle the latter of the problematic areas. While the rest of us can easily handle simple security terminals with the staff already maintaining them."

Gav didn't like it when Maars called him meat. Meat was stuff you ate, and no one ate Gav other than the buggies some times. Maybe Maars was a buggie, then Gav could kill him. Gav liked that.

>>12422690
Gav was tired. He was never tired usually but Grint's head talk made Gav tired. He thought taking a sleep would be nice, maybe in that pillow stack that Terg used all the time. Gav liked Terg's pillow stack even though Terg told him not to sleep in it.

But Gav didn't get to sleep. Maars was telling him to follow and he seemed happy. Maars was scary when he was happy with his dark skin seeming darker. His skin was a bad dark nothing like Terg's.

Gav followed Maars to the big box tank. Gav liked the box tank, it ment Sheexa would drive it and Sheexa drove fun.

>>12422718
Sheexa did drive but not fun. They drove slow and downwards to below the sun's sight. Gav liked the sun, even if it was cold unlike his homeplanet he left twelve years ago.

Sheexa told him to be quiet when they entered the big building. It had lots of pipes under and above it and looked boring. It was painted gray and was nothing like the colorful towers above.

>>12421716

Go right ahead. Just remember: the point of the Gav stories is to make Anonymous cry manly tears while reading something awesome Gav has done.

So Gav beating the shit out of the Thousand Sons Sorcerer who was responsible for Bob's death? Manly tears + FUCK YEAR! Same goes for killing the Keeper of Secrets that had just killed Tarla.

>>12421234

>>12422744
The inside had more pipes and was full. Not of people but of pipes and metal things. Gav thought that one looked like his old las-cannon and tried to pick it up. He couldn't because it was stuck on the ground.

Sheexa then pulled him to the side, Gav almost knocked over a pile of metal things but made sure he didn't when he saw the buggies. They were all over the wall and floor, some looking like human people and others looking like ugly bugs. Gav hated the bugs they stole peoples pants and made them into bugs. He wondered how they did it but then thought that such a thing was bad.

>>12422762

Oh, and also: It's always Necrons/Genestealers/Chaos behind the Orks/Rebellion/Tau incursion. This is like a law of all 40K writing.

>>12422781

>they stole people's pants and made them into bugs

I'm getting diabetes, this is so cute.

>>12422781
"shit Gav. how are we going to blow a hole to the tunnels through this mess?!" Sheexa was scared, she never saw this many buggies at once before but Gav has seen more. Gav has killed more so he was about to tell her not to be scared because she was big like Gav.

But Gav saw Bob in the bugs. Seeing Bob scared Gav and Gav tried to focus on him with his red eye. What he saw made him sad. It wasn't bob, it was a pant thief who looked like Bob. They were copying Bob, this made Gav angry.

Gav bellowed out and ran foward to the Bob bug, he pull out his shotgun and squished some sleeping bugs. He didn't care when they woke up and screamed at him.

>copying Bob

wat. Bob got burned up after the Horrors killed him.

>>12422836
"You not bob! You not Bob! Stop being Bob NOW!!!!!
he shot at the Bob bug. It looked scared like the driving bug if Gav remembered what the driver bug looked like other then mush. His shotgun didn't blow up the Bob bug from this far away so he charged faster.

He never reached the Bob bug as he was tackled by two of what looked like ladies except that they had bug legs and one had a big eye. Gav shot them with his gun and kicked a smaller one hard with his right foot so it punched straight through another screaming pant thief's head.

This is glorious! The Legend of Gav (and Bob who Gav misses every day).

>>12422878
More bugs piled up onto Gav, the one that looked like Bob was trying to eat his nose. Gav was even madder when he saw his nose's assailant. It was a fat bug who's skull was jagged out in awkward places that made it look like Ogryn face. Gav was mad that pant bug tried to be ogryn even by accident.

Gav headbutted the bug and once again. Hitting him again with his head until the bug was mushed down bellow him and Gav's head bled.

Gave stood up and smacked bugs away with his shotgun like a club, pumping it and shooting took too long for him and he wanted all the bad buggies dead fast.

Ogryns normally use ripper guns, which are drum-fed automatic shotguns, ruggedized to be used as clubs. Saves them the time to reload. 2e rules had them firing so fast that they literally couldn't miss at 6" range.

>>12422914
Sheexa was shooting the bugs with her small bolt pistol thingies. Gav didn't care for that, he only cared that he smashed the bugs that were trying to steal his pants, copy his friend (even though it was merely a coincidence) and to make sure Sheexa wouldn't but eaten by them.

He grabbed the closest one and used it like a club in his metal arm and his squishy arm kept clubbing the bugs before they could reach his pants. The smell of their nasty blood made him happy again.

>>12422937
ever stop to think that maybe he's using a regular shit-tastic shotgun?

>>12422975
Nah, just doing my job

>>12421234
I was on today to ask /tg/'s advice on getting a Guardsmen army. The tears have already decided for me.

>>12422965
Gav lost count of the time he took killing the bugs. All he knew after a while he was standing on a pile of buggies and his squishy club was gone as well as his metal arm. He turned to Sheexa to smile and wave to her, wondering if he did good.

Sheexa was in trouble though, the pant thieves were clawing closer to her while she shot at them with one hand and her other was making a bomb stick to the wall.

Gav tried to run at them but Sheexa screamed "I'm fine damnit! Just go hit that plunger at the end of the pipe while I handle this crap!"

Gav felt that if he didn't help sheexa she was going to die like Arry, Bob, and Tarla. He didn't want to miss Sheexa she was strong and nice and gave him his now destroyed hat.

"Fucking go you glaxxing piece of meat!" Gav knew she was serious. She never called Gav a hero or meat before so she must really want him to press the plunger. Gav ran to the plunger and stared at it, he didn't know what it did other then go down when he pushed it.

But he pushed it before at the big ship in space and it didn't do anything other than click. Sheexa was awefully mad at him though for messing with her anteek thingy though.

>>12423065
Sheexa was stabbed through her back from one of the sneakier bugs. This made Gav very mad. He didn't dare want to lose another friend.

He charged foward away from the plunger and into the bugs, he smacked them away with his bare hand has his shotun/club was smacked away from him from one of the bug men's extra hands.

>>12423114
Yeah I'm done. Sucking at it pretty bad anyway and I have to do more important things.

Some one else can take up after it or just let it die and stuff

>>12423114

Yes? GET ON WITH IT, MAN!

>>12423243

Son, I am disappoint.

>>12423272

Whoops, forgot my trip.

>>12423272
>>12423282
ugh fine I'll finish. I mean who needs to eat anyway?

>>12423295

Eating is for mortals. We're writefags. Carry on.

>>12423114
He was finally within reach of Sheexa, grabbing her tight and pulling her closer to him for safety in a way so the bug that had it's disgusting claw impaled inside of her was swung around and flattened together with another buggie that was unfortunate to be in the way.

Sheexa was out cold or dead. Gav didn't know but both thoughts sent his rage to the roof once more. Allowing him to feel no pain as the pant stealers claws and teeth dug into him. His fist pounding away and punching straight through their bodies killing them instantly as he even used their soon to be ripped out spines as a once use weapon only to be impaled into another bug man's skull.

>>12423332
"Gav may can not count you all!! but Gav shall kill yazz fah sheexa and Bob!! Gav knocked one of the pant thieves away, only for it to land on the plunger that Gav had ignored.

The explosives around the pipes and floor that Sheexa had placed exploded with enough force to incinerate the bug's around Gav. Gav only being protected with his mass bulk as the blast burnt his skin away around his back and arms to where his spine was revealed.

The blast knocked Gav towards the opposite wall as well, he only had 10 seconds, enough for one second per each finger on his hand (and he made sure because he counted) before he reached the wall, and the jaggerd piece of metal that stuck out to greet him.

>>12423371
Gav didn't know how long he stared at the blackness. He could hear voices easily. Hearing them made him happy. He couldn't remember the last time he felt happy. Their voices made him smile as he stared at the blackness. He could hear Traela's, Terg's, Grint's, Arry's, Tarla's, Bob's, even Maars's.

He didn't like Maars's voice, because when he heard it he woke up. He saw Maars looking down at him on his bed.

Gav's arm was still missing from the brawl and he felt bad all over. He was sorry to the Emperor when he felt this bad he used his name meanly as he sat up.

"Doing well Gav?" Maars said it as if he didn't care at all. Gav didn't like Maars.

>>12423448
"Gav not dead?"

"No Gav, you're not dead in the least." Maars tilted Gav's head with surprising strength. Forcing Gav to look at his lower gut even with his neck flaring up in immense pain.

"I assumed you would die within the day with that awful wound in your gut. Impaled up there with your bare arse for the God Emperor to see." Maars released Gav's head, letting Gav relax back so the cry of pain in his throat would die away.

"Luckily for you, you were just happening to hold our dear demolitions expert Sheexa."

"No, Gav save'ad Sheex-"

"No Gav. You held her infront of you so her body took most of the blade and her spine was severed." Maars simply turned away, his voice still uncaring as he activated the door panel to "open."

"Sheexa died because you used her as a meat shield. Blocking most of the damage to your body and killing her."

Gav was sad, almost as sad as when Bob died. The words Maars used were mostly blocked out because Gav didn't know what they ment but he understood that he killed her by accident. He never got to thank her for being nice. He never got to learn about booming things from her. He never got to give her that hat.

>>12423543
"You should rest up Gav, the medicae has provided us with a replacement arm and the good doctor will take a look at you. We'll need you good and up for the next assignment."

Maars left Gav to lay in his bed. Still and quiet as he stared blankly to pass the time. Eventually gathering up the spirit to pray for Sheexa's safe arrival to the God Emperor's side.

Gav never liked Maars, and he never would.

>>12423563
That's it.

so sad OP. thanks for the link, it was good reading

Gav has no luck keeping his friends safe. Poor bastard.

>>12423662
Maybe he keeps rolling 1's?

We need to clean this up a little, then get it on 1d4 with the rest of them.

>>12423824
If you can make shit less shitty then more power to ya.

>>12423824
Nighttime bump for this

Quick Ogryn question.
Is there any way to effectively use them in combat?

>>12423858

Oooh yes. MANLY TEARS okay, that's what we like Gav for. But this ending just sucks. It feels cheap, even gratuitous.

Sorry writefag, this time you did it wrong. Gav losing a friend every time is failing it. HE did save Tarla, this time he might have gotten a little further in saving Sheexa? Instead of having her killed by Gav's sheer stupidity, she might have died in the blast she rigged up. She's a Catachan, aren't they "Imma die? No biggie." types? Then Gav survives, and somewhat figures that she was actually okay with that, and forgets to get that he might have died too. That's more in line with the story of Gav.
Or Traela could have gotten Sheexa a cyber resurrection, so Gav would actually progress towards saving a friend some time. How to make it more grimdark? Having cybercata-chan infected by a Mechanicus memetic virus that makes her go all "the flesh was weak!" so Gav notices a difference; so he got to save his friend, but she's not really the same. Not Came Back Wrong, just different, having still lost something, but no lolyoukilledher or lolbotomized-servitor.

What do others think?

man, i almost cry
