When not working in the quarries of the Empire, the Cyclops are occasionally pressed into battle. They are large, ferocious, and the least intelligent of all the races in the Empire. The Goblins, with their usual cunning, have found them a useful addition to their forces.

Cirith:
I like. Even if the Ogres do not like these guys...
4 Wounds is beastly. Its easy to visualise one of these guys walking around the battle field with a bunch of Goblins swarming around his feet.
joshuaslater:
The playtesting was great with these guys. I had an army with four troops of Goblins, each with a Cyclops.
You have to remember the higher LD of the troop in your wait tests, and panic tests, and it's hysterical when the troop fails a panic test, but the Cyclops is still standing there, not unlike a big dummy.
Four wounds ain't a dealbreaker, as believe me, with the 18 armor, and being so large over the Goblins (Eagle Eye), they add flavor, and on a good day, smash their opponents, but they don't just crush everyone like the latest army from some companies. ;)
Buzzu:
Hmmm. I don't think I'll ever use it, but I like the idea.
The only thing I can't understand is the racism of the ogres. :) Why? How can they survive in the empire with an ogre on the blood throne? Add some background. It' a question of "flavor"... ;)
joshuaslater:
Flavor can be spiced later. Feel free to write something down and post it here. Now go test'em out!!
