So, with the coming of the new Cursed City game, I noticed they have what would be considered a pretty 'trim' ogre. And there have been a few depictions of non-belly ogres in miniatures and art that I have seen before as well. Some Blood Bowl stuff (Before the new team models) showed more muscled, instead of fat ogres. I think some people call these 'Imperial Ogres', but I was wanting to see if I could get some opinions from other people. Are these 'Fit' ogres some sort of cross breed? Are they just 'Imperial' Ogres less influenced by The Maw? Are they starving, and unfortunate beggars who can't afford a gutplate?

i think most of it is that Ao$ isn't fantasy and most/all of the factions are at least partly different from the ones we know. it's reasonable to assume that the maw did not survive, so the ogres aren't as driven to eat.

that said, ogres weren't massively fat until 6th ed FWB, so skinnier ogres might just be out doing merc work.
