When a Warlock goes to war, his followers come too. While they may lack the strength and military precociousness exhibited by the blocks of Ogre warriors around them, they more than make up for this with their fanatical fervour and unwavering steadfastness. Adorned in their spiritual tattoos and tribal relics, a Warlock can feed on their presence, drawing extra power to his own spells, channelling it through their zealous faith. | When a Warlock goes to war, his followers come too.

Revision as of 15:47, 28 August 2025
Berserker Braves, also known as Berserker Braves, have been a Large Infantry unit for the Ogres faction since their introduction in Kings of War 1.1 – Kings and Legends supplement book.
About
These individuals group together in small warbands, or rarely into whole clans, and march to whatever battles they can find. Fighting with wild abandon and seemingly feeling no pain, these Berserkers do not stop fighting until they are killed outright.
Wielding two handed weapons which a man would struggle even to lift, the ogres are a whirlwind of destructive force, barrelling through entire regiments of the foe and scattering even the bravest and most capable warriors around them.
