Grimbold Blackhammer:

Huh, what do you mean?

gorthorbeastlord:

AoS mercs are matched play, there’s no way it’ll feature greenskins though since gw squatted them

But you’ll be able to take ogre maneaters, we’ll get a full list when the ghb comes out

I Belive it was ment as a more generic term. :) But Ogres seems just fine as well... Looks lite GHB2019 will be out within a week or two.

Heavygear:

The full list of mercenaries is on the Warhammer Community site. Disappointed there are no goblin or orc units available. I was hoping some of the FW monsters might make it as mercenaries. Many of them were relagated to grand order destruction back when AoS first dropped and they honestly thought everyone would abandon army lists and points and just throw whatever model they liked on the table.

Uther the unhinged:

Hey at least we got man slayers/ big hat slave ogres. Also a fire belly, what is that if not an ogre with an old daemonsmith/pyrophant strapped to his back (master blaster from mad max3) casting spells and letting rip with a magma pistol/flame pistol. Dang I need some ogre models

Uther the unhinged:

Double posting, bad etiquette I know but…

Going wit dwarf on ogre/ firebelly (got to beat the sorcerors curse somehow) big hat slave ogres could be standard chaos ogre allies and the manslayers could be the �?~enhanced�?T servants of the daemonsmith, either steampunk cybernetic enhancements or more organic (mutations/grafts or chemical like Bane from batman or the 40k dark elder vibe).

The fireslayers are just disciple of Lugar analogues (a bizarre sect of Hashut?).

Now, if only I could think of good mounts how cool would it be for the Zharr Vyxxa dawn to have a land based ally. Count Dwarfula perhaps?

Oh dear it is late and I have had wine.

gorthorbeastlord:

I love the idea of the firebelly being an ogre slave with a dawi Zharr riding him

Haha, now that makes for an odd and cool mount! :cheers

I was contemplating using the marauders as hobgoblins myself. I can live with their bows being javelins as they are only shortbows. So long as one’s opponent understands we’re just reskinning the warscroll to fit our models one should be good to go I think.
