A Stigmartus Ogryn Brute, fresh from the slaughter.
A Stigmartus Ogryn Brute is one of the shock troops of the militant Stigmartus Chaos Cult that seeks to conquer the Jericho Reach in the Segmentum Ultima.
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 of the Achilus Crusade, Ogryn Brutes are more often used as part of a heavy weapons team -- the Ogryns lug various armaments such as autocannons and missile launchers into position and hold the weapon steady so that the accompanying 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.
