Boomers is a Large Infantry unit for the Ogres faction and was introduced in 2nd Edition
About
Ogres enjoy the hurly burly of close-quarter fighting a lot, but they are cunning hunters, too, and for a proportion of them missile weapons hold an undeniable draw.
Prosaically called Shooters (the ogre language is blunt and to the point), these ogres spend their mercenary days providing ranged support for their paymasters, although the weapons the ogres carry are so large that ‘artillery support’ is probably a more apposite phrase.
Boomers carry fearsome blunderbusses that are more akin to short-ranged cannons than any firearm a man might wield. Their blunderbusses kick out a wall of scrap and shot that will mash anything in front of it to mincemeat, especially when an entire group of boomers open fire at once.
These oversized weapons are ordinarily crafted for the ogres by the dwarfs, who are as delighted by the deep pockets of the shooters as the shooters are by the dwarfs’ meticulous expertise.
Once an ogre shooter feels the irresistible pull of home and hearth and heads back up north, he will take his pride and joy with him, where it will be much admired by his kinfolk, and eventually passed on to his eldest son.
