The Ogor Mawtribes are receiving a range refresh that introduces seven new model kits, a dedicated Army Set, and a revised battletome. The update modernizes the faction's aesthetic and expands tactical options with new heroes and infantry units.
The Ogor Mawtribes are receiving a comprehensive range refresh, marking the most significant update to the faction in years. Announced during the Big Summer Preview, the update introduces seven new model kits, a dedicated Army Set, and a revised battletome. This expansion arrives as a transition for the army, which has relied on models spanning two decades while operating under temporary rules within the current 4th Edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar.
A Massive Range Refresh
The new releases aim to modernize the aesthetic of the warglutt, replacing outdated sculpts with detailed alternatives that match the current scale of the game. Central to this update is the launch Army Set, which serves as a foundational collection for new players. The set features a new Tyrant miniature, updated Gluttons, and reimagined Ironguts. The Tyrant kit includes various customization options, such as alternate heads, cleavers, hammers, and back banners, designed to replace a figure that had remained unchanged for over a decade.

The Gluttons and Ironguts have also received complete redesigns. According to reporting from Spikey Bits, the new Gluttons kit provides five distinct poses and modular weapon bits, while the Ironguts now feature scarred armor and larger silhouettes to better distinguish them as elite infantry. The update further expands the cavalry options with the new Maulbeast kit, which can be assembled as either melee-focused Maulbeast Cavalry or ranged Maulbeast Raiders.
New Heroes and Tactical Units
In addition to core units, the refresh introduces new characters and specialized infantry. Redd the Maw, a Slaughtermaster, serves as a centerpiece for the faction. Accompanied by Mawseeker acolytes and a Gorger carrying a cauldron, the model emphasizes the religious-horror themes associated with the Gulping God. A new Butcher kit also returns, providing a dedicated support wizard for players who prefer to avoid large centerpiece models.
Tactical flexibility is a recurring theme in the new kits. The new Cleaver units can be built alternatively as Gutseers, providing a dual-purpose unit that can function as anti-magic support or elite infantry depending on the player's needs. Furthermore, Ontabletop highlights the inclusion of Grell Firefist, a "brutal cannoneer" who utilizes a weapon known as Blastbelch to disrupt enemy ranks.
The Ogor Hunters represent another tactical addition, focusing on reconnaissance and ambush gameplay. These units are deployed with Sabrefangs and possess a signature ability to redeploy from the board to terrain features after the initial setup. This mechanic allows for strategic positioning, though the units are restricted from using movement abilities during the first turn.
Battletome and Future Developments
The new battletome, available in both a special edition within the Army Set and a standard gamer’s edition, introduces a new sub-faction called the Mawseekers. The book contains updated lore, rules, and photography.
