First Edition Biography
Kingdoms of Men - Ogre Shooters have a tendency to turn their ranged weapons into improvised clubs and charge the enemy
As each Ogre is the survivor of a brutal childhood in the frozen north. They are natura providing ranged support for their paymasters, although the weapons the Ogres carry are so large that “artillery support” is probably a more apposite phrase.
Ogres either carry giant crossbows the size of small ballistae, or fearsome blunderbusses that are more akin to short-ranged cannon than any firearm a man might wield. Their crossbows are powerful enough to punch a hole in the thickest armour and knock a man ten feet backwards when hit (an experience, we must add, he is unlikely to survive), while 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 Shooters open fire at once.
Both these out-size 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.
