OGRES (WARHAMMER) EXPLAINED | Fantasy Fireside

[@ThomasHogan-b7w]

Ogres My lord!

[@alasiadarthe001actual9]

That one time the Halflings hired the ogres to defend the moot from averland. Guts big and small unite.

[@big_tymerro]

I don’t think it’s one time, Ogres and Halflings actually have very good relations with each other in the Empire, both races are outcasts, both enjoy food very much, and even beyond that they were essentially made from the same blueprint by the old ones. Also, Halflings are the best chefs in the Warhammer World, and the Ogres are the hungriest race in the world, they were made for each other.

[@alasiadarthe001actual9]

@@big_tymerroI believe there was one particular time that averland invaded the moor attempting to exterminate the halflings and the only allies the halflings only ally was the ogres of Bloat Feast Master or something like that. If I remember the conflict ended when the elector count of averland took a blow to the head and came to the conclusion that the halflings were on his side and it was all the ogres behind everything.

[@Brutalyte616]

So the relationship between the Halflings and the Ogres is, to my knowledge, not explicit, and the notion of a connection stems from the fact that they're both fat, generally pleasant when they're not trying to rob you, eating you out of house and home, or just eating you in the case of the Ogres, and the two races get along. This is because Ogres respect people who are big, fat, and know their way around a kitchen, and the Halflings are almost as obsessed with food as the Ogres despite lacking the compulsion of the Great Maw constantly making them ravenous as if they're on the verge of starvation. As for the matter of an Ogre's intelligence? They're not really as dumb as you'd think, they just don't think like humans do. They're weirdly pragmatic, because if they figure out something can benefit them, they're surprisingly eager and able to learn about it, but the particulars of some concepts that they don't deem particularly important are probably going to be lost on them. Like most Ogres understand the concept of currency, but only insofar as 'I can use this to get food', so they can't really be bothered to learn the complex parts of economics because it's not really relevant to them, but if you manage talk to an Ogre and explain how being a businessman can make you a lot of money and therefore a lot of food, and you do so in such a way that actually excites them, that Ogre might go on to actually learn how to be a businessman, and if he finds it interesting enough, that fat bastard might become a goddamn stockbroker and potentially become the richest man on the planet. Presumably, the only thing holding the Ogres back is how naturally laid-back they are their constant need to keep themselves fed and their endless gnawing hunger distracting them.

[@Aceshot-uu7yx]

All I heard was mood kindred.

[@Rukdug]

Agreed. For example, an Ogre that is illiterate is not because they are too stupid to read, but because they have never been given proper motivation to try and read. It's a part of why Maneaters get so into local cultures: something has sparked their motivation to learn about the culture they work for the most, and they dive headfirst into the topic.

[@thehermitman822]

Mundo great business man.

[@josecoronadonieto6911]

​@@Rukdug there was a maneater who saw a woman whoop a respected knights ass with a roller, now he clothes like her and uses a giant roller as a weapon

[@zachm5485]

Putting the best faction lore video on thanksgiving is diabolical

[@nerdyvids1]

There’s also the neat fact that Skrag is effectively the high priest of the Maw, so he has a lot of ogre prestige from that.

[@Battlechicken12]

Hey I found Colin on the title screen

[@Aceshot-uu7yx]

That is too tall to be Colin.

[@Battlechicken12]

@ fair I forgot Colin’s 4ft 4inch

[@gloomy8795]

Savage

[@ThanquolAndBoneripper]

Are you guys gonna sing the Total War song?

[@Battlechicken12]

Thanquol Colin’s on the title screen

[@stevesteverson]

Alright, I said I'd buy something if you guys covered Ogre's and you called my bluff. I guess I'll get whatever merch you're doing.

[@Predator20357]

Now this is what I needed from you guys, a good ol talk about my favorite faction from Warhammer Fantasy in all of its Guttiness

[@thehermitman822]

I have no gut and I must feed. Such is the power of Nagash.

[@djbeast2145]

I've always wanted to know about the Brexit geezer faction

[@akumaking1]

Thanksgiving special!

[@derekburge5294]

Stormgut Eternals sound awesome!

[@killkaio7565]

My first AOS army was Ogors. It was fun to paint up. Here's hoping for a model fresh, and I might restart them

[@dansawyer1199]

Tolkien hobbitses has always been thieves, my precious...

[@TheRadude]

A video about a race of obese monsters that eat and ravage anything in their vicinity being released on Thanksgiving? This has to be a coincidence.

[@akumaking1]

You missed out on the pun “Survival of the Fattest”. (And I think it’s also the exact name of one of the Ogre OSTs.

[@Aceshot-uu7yx]

They stole enough supplies from an Averland road /bridge project to steal more materials in value than it would have cost to build the damn thing to begin with. This road was going to benefit them arguably more than Averland, and they stole enough to double the cost of the project. I too would hunt them on horseback and beat them like a pinata, which the knights of the black bear did.

[@yopoxikeweapescai9066]

In the second book of florin and lorenzo we get a good insight on the ogres (they are even worse than colin made them look). Grimdark narrator has the 3 books narrated, recommend to read them all

[@giorgaras1851]

One of the best factions in Warhammer (mainly because it's the most relatable)

[@bkuzu1332]

1:41:26 how cool would that be if GW released a cookbook for ogres first. Don't even cook much but I'd buy it.

[@donkeymanusa6364]

The Colin Slop Special is the perfect sidedish for Thanksgiving. Perfection lads.

[@tristanmora1081]

Perfect Thanksgiving Special. Today we honor the Greatest Gut in Da Land

[@tomwarren5580]

Halflings know whats up everybody else in the warhammer world was fighting about stupid things like which elf was the best or whether or not to help demons destroy the world. But the noble halflings know that the only thing thats really worth fighting for is pie.

[@kobban63]

This is going to be interesting

[@franzsanders9573]

1:28:29 - AoS stuff

[@spencerpollock5688]

Ogres what a fantastic lore explained I hope you do the fimir clans in the future but until then have a wonderful time 👍

[@darrianweathington1923]

(Looks at maneaters name) Easy fix, we call him Golg(British cigarette) maneater, or cigarette the maneater. 👌

[@sauronplugawy3866]

Or, as Tarriff called him, Golgciggie Boymuncher.

[@diegodankquixote-wry3242]

It's all ogre now

[@Battlechicken12]

Colin when is Thanquol getting a video

[@the_jacenpc660]

There is one fantasy book from an older edition! The Florin and Lorenzo trilogy’s second book is about the ogre kingdoms and a random tribe.

[@fatpower3426]

I hope you do a greenskin episode at some point sense these episodes are fun to listen too. I love listening about the boyz.

[@devenlemend4599]

So now I'm gonna make an ogre that wants to make food out of every being in the warp and a tribe of ogres that wishes to consume the great maw. Just because they can

[@jonthanechols6410]

Colin's gut reaches the Mournfang 30 seconds before he does.

[@SavageBabyAlex]

The big boys!

[@thehermitman822]

Lorebeards were saying "Golgfag" every other sentence. 😂

[@x7x2porters]

ngl i kinda wish that greasus speed bug was back, that shit was so funny

[@Crazypsychoticgamer]

One of the best books featuring the ogres from warhammer fantasy is the book Reiksguard by Richard Williams, Burakk is a really cool character

[@20yamma07]

Would have loved if you told Andy about tamurkhan as he is technically a order zombie with nurgle but still close to what he asked about the nagash

[@LongfusedbombasticBarbarian]

Fantasy Mongolians is very accurate because it basically boils down to Ravenous horde

[@patrickegger5842]

Guts out boys!!!!

[@tarot3078]

At 33:13, fun fact in the warhammer bestiary there are quotes by giants and it’s revealed that the reason they drink so much is that they know they are the degenerate descendants of a great civilization and they fall into deep depression if they stay sober.

[@tanakoskyler-thetabletopsh377]

Ah I see we did a lore video on the Average American on Thanksgiving

[@collin1401]

Can't wait for you guys to do the Warriors of Chaos. I prefer the Chaos from Fantasy to 40K.

[@ronanHanni]

Wood elfs next please or when their minis release.

[@redmammoth8759]

Finally my boys

[@Crepa-s1n]

Yes this is German 1:41:53

[@devenlemend4599]

So I'm only about a third through the video and since I've just learned about the giant maw. How many ogers said "fuck it eat the damn pit"

[@myonlyfriendtheend4958]

It's all orge now

[@lenny9040]

good video lads

[@lisandroperezcueto7155]

So the ogres tried to make Khornesome

[@nolanbaker2360]

Perhaps the ogres just have the diabetes hunger

[@dawsonwright2755]

MEAT!

[@MikeTheBretonianGrailKnight]

Give us bretonia part 2 also ogers are better colins

[@pinkiprime7877]

Halflings next

[@CLOWN6145]

The ewe boll of the fantasy universe except instead of boxing his critics he eats them
