Stigmartus Ogryn Brute

Stigmartus Ogryn Brutes are the shock troops of the militant Stigmartus Chaos Cult. Huge masses of gene-bulked muscle and heavy-grav bone, these massive Ogryns -- enormous, simple-minded mutants -- have been trained for nothing more than savage aggression.

The Stigmartus occasionally field units composed of Ogryn Brutes, spearheading assaults by soaking up firepower that would stagger or stop most other infantry.

Amongst the Stigmartus in the Acheros Salient, Ogryn Brutes are more often used as part of a heavy weapons team -- the Ogryns lug various heavy weapons such as autocannons and missile launchers into position and hold the weapon steady so that the Stigmartus Infantryman gunner can fire the weapon more accurately.

Most Ogryn Brutes are armoured in riveted flak-board plates. They are also supplied with heavy stubbers, and a massive hooked cleaver, though their huge fists can be just as deadly.
