Re: Ogre Kingdoms - Warhammer Nation
What do you mean there wouldn't be a point? WH giants translated to dom3 are size 6, not size 4 like the Jotuns. They'll have considerably more hp than 30.
Ogres in WH are also easily three times tougher to kill than humans. They have 3 wounds and 4 toughness compared with 1 wound and 3 toughness. I converted WH ogres to dom3 and gave them size and hp based on this comparison and on simple model size comparison. WH giants will be comparable with /maybe/ Neifels, but not Jotuns - they're in a much higher weight class.
These ogres /are/ smaller than Jotuns, but comparisons between the size and hp of those two units aren't much use. I'm not making WH units by comparing directly with dom3. I want to have my WH mods fit in dom3 and be balanced in dom3, but I'm not really trying to 'integrate' them and base my stuff on vanilla units. If I was, I'd give ogres higher strength than 14 or so - but any more isn't something I can justify, because WH ogres only have str 4, the same as inner circle knights or black orcs. In my mind, that means a gap of 1 or 2 str in dom3 terms is ok, but more than that and I'm ignoring the WH profile.
