#RUNNING WITH RIFLES OGRE EXCEPTION FULL#
The full Ogre Kingdoms faction is introduced in Total War: Warhammer III, where the Ogre Kingdoms are playable in the campaign, Custom Battles, and the planned Immortal Empires. Ogres first appeared as recruitable mercenary units in DLC for Total War: Warhammer II. Thus the Ogre Kingdoms came to be founded. The Ogres eventually settled in the Mountains of Mourn lands and began to thrive despite the cold environment. With nothing left for them they travelled westward, ultimately running into and consuming or driving off the peaceful race of Sky Titans that lived in the mountains they came to. Those who survived beheld a strange maw-like void in that ground that seemed to stretch endlessly into the earth. The astromancers of the Dragon Emperor retaliated by dropping a vast celestial body into the heart of the Ogre homeland, destroying it and wiping out much of the Ogre race. But when this was not enough for them, they began eating whatever they wanted. In time the Ogres found the Empire of Grand Cathay and often served in its army as mercenaries in exchange for food. But they were not finished, with the Old Ones destroyed or forced to leave before they could finish the Ogres' homeland or fix their interminable hunger. So the Ogres were made big and strong, quick to adapt and resilient against mutation and corruption.

The Elves were too fragile and slow to reproduce, the Dwarfs were too stubborn and culturally stagnant, the Humans were too vulnerable to the corruptive power of Chaos. Ogres were the final race created by the ancient Old Ones and were intended to avoid the same pitfalls that other Elder Races fell prey to. Though some live as nomads and others as mercenaries, most of their kind are united under Tyrants, who venture forth from their kingdoms to wage war and gain plunder to satisfy both their pride and their guts. From the moment they are born, Ogres are in the grip of an insatiable hunger, which they will consume virtually anything to satiate. Here, the vast majority of the gluttonous Ogre race live, fighting amongst one another for glory, wealth, and most of all, food. In the southern parts of this region lay the Ogre Kingdoms.
