Author Topic: The Bellower - Issue #2 Out Now! (Read 2890 times)

Hragged · « **on:** Apr 27, 2010, 01:07:53 AM »

The second issue of the Stronghold's Ogre Kingdoms webzine is available to download now! You can find it here.

This issue focuses primarily on a much ignored Ogre hero choice: the Hunter. So put on your finest Rhinox fur coat and get stuck in!

If you have feedback, praise, suggestions, or contributions for future issues, let the Bellower Team know about it! You can email us at bellower@ogrestronghold.com, or leave your comments here.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the second issue and apologies for the delay! Hopefully the next issue will be out in July.

Downloading now! And I must say, a second issue seems almost a bigger accomplishment than the first—it shows that the team is still progressing and the enthusiasm hasn't died down! Love the Bellower. Hopefully I can contribute something some day.

Wow thats a hunter heavy magazine

Thanks for it! I've been looking around for nice hunter tactics and this sure is a help. This also gives him some more credit, wich he deserves.

Hmm i also like the painting guide. And the models that you've shown in there. As an beginning sculpter im always looking for nice ideas for army's so perhaps some greenstuff conversions in the next issue?

I really do feel like fielding a Hunter now—and I never have before! Except that one time when he did absolutely nothing. Now, I'll be better prepared!

Thanks for the positive feedback, guys. We´ve been struggling with many real life issues, plus some unexpected article delays showed up, that´s why this issue is late. We all hope the wait was worth it

TobiOgre · « **Reply #6 on:** Apr 28, 2010, 08:10:18 AM »

I think it IS worth it - and I haven't even read the big story due to a lack of time.

Thank you all so much for doing the Bellower!

Just found the bellower magazine. I have to say it rocks! It looks really professional, and the articles are great. This site/forum keeps surprising me, I have to say it's really one of the top sites out there.

You have inspired me to order a hunter.

So did anyone try out the Jhared list yet or make a sample list? Interested to see what people can come up with...

Maybe we can get some Warhammer Online going here?

That was awesome! Great work all!

I was planning on using it tomorrow at my gaming club's weekly meeting!

no need to apologize, my friend. We never took that for granted, so we weren´t counting on you to provide one. If you promised us a battle report in a way that "Sure, I will definitely get you one", that would be another story.

So, no worries

Nando: let us all know how Jhared did, then

fan-friggin-tastic hunter information. thanks for pointing out the 'noobs do this' hunter tips - which i was close to doing, as i havent used one many times before. if only i had read this LAST week... and not charged my tusks into that heavy infantry lizard unit...

Downloading it now and I'll have my comments in a few days as usual.

Great work guys.

Cheers for the review, Willmark!

I understand that much of your "cons" point are about technical stuff, so that would be a good read for Randroid, as I don´t really uderstand a thing abot it

So, we´re glad you liked it and we´ll surely try to improve even more with the next issues!

Fantasyfreak · « **Reply #20 on:** May 16, 2010, 12:08:53 AM »

Great job guys!
I can really apreciate the hard work that goes into making the issue, especially when you have certain people making it harder than it should be

Looks excellent and is a good read even if you're not new to Ogres.
I particulary liked Hermut's strip.

Thanks for doing a great job on my army too

A little late I see...
Seems even despited my Creative differences, I was one of the few to get my work in on time..

I read Willmark's little blog entry.. Cant say I agree with him.. In fact I find the Bellower to be far more Coherent then The Word of Hashut..

Well Done Randroid.

Just finished reading the 2nd issue of the bellower. It was awesome, I really liked the short story "the birth of the Maw". I've got a feeling 8th edition will bring good news to all ogre players, possibly helping with our combat res rank problem.
