- A lore documentary on the Ogryn of the Imperial Guard from Warhammer 40K! You can customize and fight as your own Ogryn in Warhammer 40,000: Darktide - store.steampow...
In the 40th Millennium, the Imperium of Man is assailed by many xenos, warp, and traitor foes. Against these threats they are given hope by the Space Marines. However these are not the only hulking warriors on the front line of Mankind's wars. Today we explore the Ogryn of the Astra Militaria.
We begin with a origins of the Ogryn. This occurred during the Dark Age of Technology when humans arrived on harsh, high gravity planets across the galaxy. In the ensuing collapse of this first Galactic Empire, many of these people would be abandoned and spend the following millennia slowly evolving to meet their environments. Be the time of the Great Crusade many had strayed so far from the main human gene pool that they were classified as a new sub-species of Ab Human. Yet rather than purge these forces, the Imperium of Man saw fit to adopt them as a fighting force in their Imperial Guard. These Ogryn would go on to fight in many of the most important battles and campaigns of the era including the conflicts of the Horus Heresy.
In this Warhammer 40K lore video we cover the equipment, training, tactics and service history of the Ogryn.

Darktide is looking phenomenal! Our friend Indypride made an awesome guide for beginners to get you ready for the game: ruclips.net/video/BwuL58xeyv0/видео.html
Can you make a Video on the Dire Avengers for the Aeldari. I'll commission it if necessary
Can we please have some videos on Eastern units?
It would be nicer if they let us on the consoles know when we'll get our chance to try Darktide...
Invicta this video is amazing. Pls I beg of you do more 40k warhammer content!!!
@@Shinzon23 for real. Theres been no info at all. It’s getting annoying honestly
40k & Invcta is a glorious combination. I'd love to see more
I second this!
Yesssss!!!!!!
Agreed.
100%
Yessss plsssss
Everyone thinks of the ogryn as budget space marines but really they’re just the wholesome version
Agreed, I’d take them over space marines any day
There’s no ‘Orus Ersy for a reason.
They are categorically different. Although similar in terms of size, I would suspect astartes would be stronger, especially if they are in power armor. Space Marines also boast high flexibility while ogryn are relegated to close combat. Space Marines have Battle line, assault, scout, devastator, and terminator units, just to name a few. Astartes also employ a wide range of vehicles. Space Marines are also much more intelligent. Techmarines, apothecaries, chaplains, librarians, and pilots are present in most chapters.
@@knightofcaliban146 honestly, considering several events especially around the beginning and climax of the Horus Heresy, Astartes are way more prone to dumb, tactically pointless or even operationally and strategically ruinous charges than Ogryns or kriegers are.
@@essexclass8168 The aggressive, casualty intensive tactics of the Astartes in the Great Crusade and Heresy are explained by the fact that there were a lot more of them, and their roles changed dramatically. 30k Legions acted very differently than 40k Chapters. The Legions were used primarily as a blunt force instrument in the expansion of a fledgling Imperium, whereas the 40k chapters are highly mobile, versatile strike forces that respond to threats to an ever crumbling Imperium. Some Legions, like Night Lords, Raven Guard, and Alpha Legion have a more sneaky, underhanded approach to warfare that minimizes their own casualties.
Looking at something like Istvaan 3, the only reason why it was a battle instead of a massacre is because Saul Tarvitz managed to warn the loyalists, and Angron was dumb enough to deploy to the surface because he wanted to have fun. If you compare Angron's deployment on Istvaan to the siege of Vraks, the Kriegers just threw bodies at the problem because they had plenty to spare, and they were ordered to by an incompetent general. Horus decided to deploy his traitors to root out the loyalists to improve morale, and give the traitors their first big W. Ogryn, lovable as they are, are best used as shock troops. Sometimes they forget to fire their ripper guns, and ripper guns have means of limiting their rate of fire so that they don't run out of ammo too fast. Unlike Astartes they don't have the capacity to execute complex maneuvers, use long range weaponry effectively, or operate vehicles.
Space Marine: “Why are we protecting mere mortals? Let us give ourselves to the ruinous powers!”
Ogryn: “PROTECT DA LIL’ UNS”
YES, BOSS
That’s right. Ogryn are the best.
The only time you see them sided with Chaos is when their Imperial Guard regiments as a whole get corrupted. So in truth, they are just staying loyal to their buddies.
As the great Nork Dedogg once said: GOT YA BOSS! [proceeds to headbutt a mawloc]
@@Reformedhillbilly369
How do you corrupt a spacemarine? Either tell their gene-daddy that his dad doesn't love him anymore and hope his edge enough to believe you and trick his brothers, or mind fuck'em.
How do you corrupt a Ogryn? Either corrupt those they are loyal to & care about then do some light mind fucking or do some heavy mind fucking and hope they don't die from it.
Dah Big Wun Iz Moin! *SMACK EM LADS!!!* - Ogryn Bone'Ead, Dawn of War
I had an ogryn in game talk really only to my veteran, I got a ton of kills and after he was protective, I got downed and he was like, protect and save the vet, can’t lose em he’s special, or something like that. It was very cool
What game were you playing?
@@Serious1Gamer The beta

@@Serious1Gamer Warhammer 40k Darktids
They’ll call the veteran “boss” and just agree with everything he says lmao.
The Ogryns are always fun to play; they may not be smart, but loyalty outweighs smarts in a lot of situations.
Plus watching a chaos marine get beaten to death with a metal pipe is hilarious.
The last thing a possibly Millenia old Chaos Marine hears is Metal-pipe-falling.sfx
@@locksmith898 "Pathetic Abhuman, I walked alongside Horus, what do yo-*smack*
"Big armoured evil spikey fellow talk too much. Toilet pipe shut him up goooood"
I cant NOT hear the ''falling metal pipe sound effect'' as Bullgryn slams a lead pipe down on to a chaos marine so hard his head just explodes lol.
The best Ogryn vs Chaos Space Marine quote I ever heard went like this "Imagine being a Millennia Old Chaos Space Marine. You have survived numerous battles and the touch of the ruinous powers ONLY to be beaten to death with your own arms by what is ESSENTIALLY a 10ft Tall 5 year old because you just killed the Guardsmen who two months earlier shares his Sucrose Ration with that Giant Child that is currently beating you to death!"
In the name of Cain, Gaunt and Yarrick, the THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
The Emperor protects... but a flak jacket, carapace, krak grenades, bayonet and a lasgun helps, too.
Emperor protects but a loaded bolter doesn't hurt!!
@@GothPaoki I thought the point was that it does hurt
@@Juan_Jose_Miraballes can't hurt you, if there is nothing left of you
Amen
And some trustworthy friends to watch your back.
Nork Dedogg has always bin one of my most favorite characters in 40k. Always taking orders literally and in a funny manner, like when he was told to fetch a medikit that was in a Chimera, he dragged the whole Chimera over to his wounded charge explaining when asked why "but the medikit is in da Chimera boss".
Wich is why im very happy that I got to make him in the new Darktide game.
I knew Ogryns were strong but by the throne that’s insane all this time later and I’m still learning
@@blingsing5383 strongman championships do truckpulls with a rope and those are bodybuildout ''regular'' humans, imagine what an ogryn can pull..💪💪💪
Well, y'know, it's kinda cramped in there.
For some deep reasons all 40k fans are emotionally attached to these amazingly simple yet at times eerily cunning human cousins that care deeply for each other and for those that they serve even though we know they are being used for their said attributes. In many ways the oygrens can be said to be as more Human than most of those that consist as the elite/overseers of the imperium
And that's the point
Or are they cunningly brutal?
because ogyrns aren't grimderp/grimdark
@@quinnhasse9170 lol pretty much the 40k versions of Lennie from of mice to men
Its interesting how both the Ogrns and Stubs evolved on planets with higher than usual gravity, yet while the Stubs evolved to become space dwarves, with their bodies shrinking but still retain enough intelligence to be able to craft weapons of fine quality that would make the Mechanicus green with envy, the Ogrns grew bigger became Bruce Banner's alter ego but in space.
Squats have genetic tempering
Squats seem to make more sense for high grav adaptation than Ogryn.
@@thehermitman822 so what conditions could result in the ogryn?
@@joevenespineli6389 Less about grav and more about high oxygen content, like how everything was bigger in the age of dinosaurs.
@@joevenespineli6389 Then some "magical" element can be added to the air or food to explain strength, bone & skin thickness.
As a faithful Zealot of the Inquisition, I feel much safer and more confident when we have a Friend Ogryn in our squads.
40k fans are weird. Kinda funny u guys are probably the nerd community I know least about
@@fedoramaster6035 40k is just REALLY awesome, brother
Psyker here. Head pops feel much safer with an ogryn around.
Ogryn 'appy to 'elp sah! Luv smashin hertiks sah!
I be am Ogryn, and like them tiny folks, they can be nice
Comisar: What's your job soldier?!
Ogryn: Ta do Whut I'm told
Comisar: *Slaps medal onto Ogryn's chest*
I absolutely love the idea of a story involving where a Ogryn protects this one Guardsman he's been fighting alongside for a long time developing a close relationship like brothers as they watch others back through the thick and thin of war
There's a great channel where they tell stories of this orgryn who accidently kills a greater demon
@@snigie1 vox in the void
also warrortale
Loving how Invicta did this piece on the Humble and oh so lovable Ogryns. I'd love to see how they would cover the Ratlings or some other Auxillary unit used by the Imperial Guard.
Me: Man I like it when Invicta does historical units and not fantasy units.
Invicta creates a 40K video
Me being a total hypocrite:HELL YA A 40K VIDEO LETS GO!
Invicta and 40k? Wtf? Are my eyes deceiving me? Why are 2 of my favorite things colliding?
Please do more! I'd love to see you do an in-depth look on the Space Marines..! As always, the art is superb.
Not a far stretch if you know Oakley's origins on YT.
Is this the first 40K crossover? One of my favorite history channels will finally do some 40k!!!
First and certainly not the last
@@InvictaHistory wow yay can't wait for more
@@InvictaHistory Please give us more!! I would love anything that involves the Imperial Fists.
May Dorn guide you
I’d love to see more 40k videos like this, covering various abhuman regiments as well as Imperial Guard. There’s so much content there that people would love to listen to
I don't know about everyone else, but I'd love to see more in-depth looks at some of the other regiments that aren't really covered. Yes, other people have done that before but not to the depths that Invicta has!!
Inb4 someone says “Krieg”
Lovin that Invicta tatoo on the Ogryn ^_^
A Ogryn will rip the spinal cord from a Avatar of Khaine for a sticker and knowing the Emperor is pleased.
How can I not love Ogryn.
This is bloody epic. Ogryns are my favorite characters in warhammer 40k. Always love the biffy brutes Terminators, Ogryns, Orc Nobs love em all
I almost had a stroke when this video popped up in my home feed. You're one of my favorite history channels, and I've been watching you for years. I also love 40k, so imagine my shock when I saw you decided to start making 40k content. Be still my heart 😭.
You guys should take a look at Warrior Tier channel and his story on an Ogryn…. It’s the best I have ever heard
Invicta's covering of sci-fi universes and troops never ceases to amaze me. Please do more of them.
Report by one Sgt Rickmire of the 341st Logistical Army. Other designation “Rat King.”
“It was during the fourth or fifth attack on Fortress Kragmonder when the Xenos broke through the front lines. My company was in charge of delivering a QRF group to the breach. We were driving massive trucks, big enough to fit Astarte’s I’m sure. Anyways, we got to the drop off point and then began unloading the QRF.
It was Ogryns. 103 Ogryns got out of our trucks and lined up with the help of their bone head. These Ogryns had on armor that looked like it could take a Leman Russ shell and be no worse for wear!
It takes about 5 minutes to get them sorted and by that point we hear the Xenos coming up the hill we are on.
If I’m being honest I never once saw the Xenos we were fighting. I just know that they were some group that was hidden in caves until some poor sod dug to deep of a well and found them.
Sorry, lost myself there, anyways the Ogryns now lined up, have a giant riot shield on one arm and a massive Billy Club in the other, they walk up to the top of the hill, then I hear a roar from the group as they began sprinting down the hill.
I will not describe the sounds I heard on the opposite side of that hill. I do not actually believe that I even can describe such noises. But I can say what happened next, the Xenos were pushed back through the breach.
The Bone Head was apparently killed so the Ogryn company just kept charging and running at the Xenos. After the war was over, and the Guard had cleaned the last cave of the Xenos, a group of 3 Ogryns was found, armor in taters and having only half a shield getting ready to attack the last position in the caves. They died before the Guard could get to them, but they made a big hole for them to charge through and end it.
Those Ogryns had the same markings as those I helped deliver.
The Space Marines Save the day, the Guard holds the line, and Ogryns push that line back however way they can.”
Repot ended.
Nothing better to listen to while playing the Ogryn in 40k darktide.
Momma always said "If theres a bully it's an Ogryns job to stop em, and Momma don't lie".
I've been playing Darktide for the last two days, and it's actually awesome! Just got my first ripper gun today, and it's satisfying AF 😎 I usually field Nurgle armies in 40k (just finishing up painting my Nurgle daemons army at the moment) so I'm conflicted about shooting and chopping up my boys 😂😂
Playing early??
@@AchillesFeel I pre-ordered, and they've opened up the game for a last beta test before going live on the 30th. Apparently all progress will be saved from this beta, which is nice 👍 beta is open until release day
JUS BASH EM AND MASHE INTO MUSH SAH!
@macgonzo thank you for the information, I missed out on the open beta
I never heard of the War-Hammer universe until I started watching the video's here on Invicta. Nice job.
I love that you cover some of the lesser known topics of warhammer 40k.
One suggestion that I'd love to see is necron deathmarks, a unit with vary cool lore and backgrounds but as the tragically lacking in game
Very nice video about an overlooked unit. An entry about ratlings would be great next. It doesnt always have to be space marines.
I'm still shook up about Bob & Gav..
Never forget.
“Mama always said, if there’s a bully it’s a ogryns job to stop em!And mama don’t lie.”
Another awesome video! Man I love these fantasy and/or historical unit videos. Can't wait for the next one, keep up the good work!
Ogryns feel more fear getting into troop transports rather than facing horrors just within human comprehension
More please. By far the best presentation of 40K I have seen.
Other 40k channels speculate too much or talk in circles
NGL, im extremely happy that I seen this video uploaded to this channel. You do great work and I love WH40k lore.
Darktide had a rough launch, but the Devs are putting in a real effort to make up for it, and i can confirm that playing as an Ogryn is peak 40k experience.
This is the perfect length and style to get into the Warhammer Universe... I often cant focus on an hour long video about 40k factions and units... I could see myself watch a small series of 40k content here... My favorite Unit would be the Skitarii. I have a small army of them ready.
For the Emperor of Mankind!
The Spice must flow.
Oh wait
Blood for the Blood God!!!
Warhammer 40k told to us with the crisp factuality of a historian. Welcome to the ranks of the Loremasters, my brothers.
Ogryns are my favorite unit in 40k / 30k lore. Especially the Charonite squads.
Love that art of one advancing on some Sons of Horus.
Love seeing you cover warhammer, please do more, you could do the battle of Cadia for a video perhaps
The planet broke before the Guard did!
This was absolutely amazing.
Your voice paired with this content is absolutely majestic, and makes me want to fight in the God-Emperors name.
From history to Syfy and fantasy you guys do great work!
Very excited about this video. Your earlier Warhammer fantasy videos were always a treat. I hope we get more 40k.
Please do more of these for other Warhammer units! It’s so awesome!
When he said the Ogryns suffer from claustrophobia I was like awww. Made me want to grab one by the slab of meat they call hands and walk him into the Chimera saying "It's gonna be okay big guy".
This is the last thing I expected, definitely a very pleasant surprise.
yoooo i cant wait to see campaigns and battles in yalls format.
Most attractive wonderful video about Ogryns & their legend empire...video introduced with Narrator's voice, overlooked units & Fantasy units increased its attractiveness 🙂🙂🙂...a simple questions ( whey until nowadays Archeological scientific researchers were not discovered their Skullcap & skeletons )...thanks for sharing 😉
What
you got such a great narrator for these
Holy crap, I hope to see more of these. I always love seeing a fictional idea told in a documentary or historical style
I love you! never thought you would do 40k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dark Tide is a really good game, it's realy helped by the fact that Dan Abnett himself is helping out with the writing.
That's our four classes of Ogryn right there :) looking forward to playing each one of them ! Nice video.
As someone who’s new to 40K, I chose the Ogryn in Darktide and absolutely loved how you fleshed out their characteristics, culture, and history on the battlefield. This was extremely well done! Blood for the blood god!
Love seeing your superb channel expand into other topics!
I would really really like to see the Tanith First and Only be discussed more, please. Ibram Gaunt and his Ghosts are so intriguing.
"Every Guardsman need's and Ogryn at his back"
Awesome video man! I love your stuff!
I thought I would add some cool new info about Ogryn's from the recent ghazghkull thraka book.
Its now "canon" that Ogryn's can be psykers and can also teach themselves to read and write. This is seen with the character Cassie who is a Ogryn psyker that is trained by a space wolf rune priest.
Cassie is the only confirmed example of a Ogryn psyker but this may be because it goes against the imperial truth so they may be more common but are simply executed when found out.
“Gav and Bob” is one of the best 40k fanfics ever written.
Gab and Bob are good boys and love the emperor very much.
God bless you did it, you found enough facts for an ogryn video, and I’m happy about it : )
Invicta doing 40k videos?
Blessings of the Patriarch be upon us and glory to the Children of the Stars!
Please, please, please more Warhammer 40K content. This video is one of the deeper and quality wise that I can found on RUclips. Thank you!!!
Please do more 40k stuff. I love it. You keep putting them out I'll keep watching and liking each one!
24:18 - Shed a manly tear when the Imperial Ecclesiarchy showed up and the Ogryns refused to fight the emissaries of His Imperium and realized they had been betrayed and used so they immediately switched sides and redeemed themselves in the middle of the battle...
Oh yeah baby, Invicta and 40k, this is what I've been waiting for
So glad YT recommended this video to me. Loved the art and how the figures didn't stand still.
Fantastic video! Loved it. As for other regiments, maybe one on Ratlings since youve already done one abhuman race but also the famous cadian shocktroops. Cadia stands!
I didnt know you liked the 40k universe!! More videos please!! ♥
Now my life is complete you guys making wh40k is the best thing I've seen today
Anything at all 40k is great to hear lore about and Imperial Guard Regiments are always great to hear about.
An episode about the scholae palatinae would be great.
Love this format.
After the Imperium falls, and the Humans become as the Eldar, Ogryns will probably be fine. That might make for an interesting story.
Fantastic video! I love all the Warhammer 40K stuff! ⚔😎👍
Ogryn are absolutely vicious soldiers. The imperium might view these "abhumans" as lesser but humanity should be glad these big guys are on their side.
Ogryn, the muscle of the imperial guard
And the heart.
Dear god please do more 40k, it might not be viable without sponsorship but the credit you do the universe is beautiful
"Big hat man said hara-sy bad. Ogryn gonna make hara-sy go away to make big hat man happy"
Great vid
Truly a beautiful tribute to our favorite Knuckleheads:)
That was a dope video… keep making warhammer 40k content!!
Great video, I enjoyed it.
CRUSH! LIKE! BUUUG!!!!!
or
Protec´the lil uns!
These are the flavors of ogryn
I subbed ,many thanks for the vid ,more plz 🥺
I really liked the use of light and shadow, on the galaxy map, to show the reach of Big E's warp disco ball.
00.04 - 41st Millenium*
Interesting video, enjoyable to watch - i knew Ogryns were from high gravity worlds but wasnt aware such worlds were often prison planets.
Seeing a video on Scions/Stormtroopers would be pretty neat too, with an honourable mention of the Kasrkin and other regimental specific scion-esque soldiers.
I hope this isn't a one off! Love your content and would love to see you delve more into 40k military & tactical lore! 👍🏻👍🏽
This Narrator`s voice + 40k? Sign me in.
Ogryns are like Liver King, 100 percent natural and woefully misunderstood.
wow ! i love this video . keep it up. i think you did a great job covering the ogryns !
This was wonderful loved the little unit animations
Great video and love your coverage of the Ogryn.
Incredible Ogyrn lore video 💯
Love me emprah
