This bundle is marked as recommended. It works and satisfies the submission rules.
Ogres of the Dark Horde
"We're ready, master."
Following the defeat of the Horde at the end of the Second War, the ogre clans dispersed in all directions.
Some escaped through the Dark Portal back to Draenor, but others had no intention of remaining near the orcs or their bloodlust.
But a remnant of the Old Horde's ogre forces during the Second War decided to stay under the leadership of the son of Blackhand.
Though few in number, they are the most physically powerful warriors the Dark Horde, and with it the Blackrock clan, has to offer.
Among them are some of the dreaded two-headed ogre mages who survived the war.
Using their intellect and deliberate display of magical or physical strength, these have risen to become the leaders of ogre bands and are now known as the Ogre Magelords. (Some also simply by skillful magical manipulation of the strongest ogre in the tribe as their puppet.)
Here my tic came to the fore again, as with the Forest Troll-Spearthrowers, that I would like to use individual models for factions where a simple creep model would also fit. The two ogres represent the tauren for the Blackrock clan/Dark Horde, so to speak.
Hope you like them and find a use for them.
Update, 03.10.: I forgot to add the dissipate sound to the Ogre-Magelord. I've now made up for it.

I just want to upload one more bundle here and that will be for the Blackrock Clan/Dark Horde orcs.
The three bundles (Dark Horde - Orc Bundle, Dark Horde - Ogre Bundle and Dark Horde - Forest Troll Bundle) are then, so to speak,
a "reskin" for the New Horde, which should then represent a Dark Horde.

That is awesome. Love the Dark Horde. How many units will be in the Orc bundle and what does a Blackrock tech tree look like so it’s balanced? Does it still include Dragon Roost?

Slow Big One. ^^
I "only" make the models as I think they should look like. The map makers and campaign makers use them as they see fit.
! See my idea more as a kind of "reskin" !
With the forest trolls it is obvious:
Forest Troll-Spearthrower = Troll Headhunter
Forest Troll-Berserker = Troll Berserker
Forest Troll-Hexpriest = Troll Witchdoctor
Forest Troll-Warmaster = Troll Shadowhunter
The ogres are the "tauren" so to speak:
Ogre Bonecrusher = Tauren
Ogre Magelord = Tauren Chieftain
It will be the same with the orcs.
Just to start with the heroes:
Blademaster already exists as a model, so I came up with my own hero.
I created a new "Grand Warlock" model for the Far Seer as a counterpart. Just as an example... ^^

Brings me back to “Blackrock and Roll Too” and Farseer’s were used as caster models and it was a facepalm moment for me. Indeed a Grandmaster/High Warlock would be very fitting and maybe you can collaborate with InsaneMonster to use it for that mission in his Re-Reforged campaign. Yeah, I see how the tech tree works now. Think I’ll do one with no flying units because I tend to get rocked before I even build a dragon roost. Another thing that bugs me is the KodoBeast rider and lore wise I can’t think of a any replacement unit for the Dark Horde.

Those heroes were changed to more lore friendly heroes in 1.33.

Really? I never play reforged unless if it’s when I’m working on a map or playing CSW demo and Re-Reforged demo’s. I tried to play the regular campaign a long time ago but was just far too disappointed. So they actually fixed some stuff in the campaign. What else have they done campaign wise? Have they replaced those Draenei Huts from the Stonemaul Ogre village? That was horrendously disappointing and the Blood Elves building Human buildings was another disappointment.

I actually was retexturing a blue ogre magi to be tan colored with blue tribal tats but I fucked up the final product and it took me soo many hours to change the color because ogres have lots of of skin exposed. I may go restart it that way there is a tan double headed ogre magi on here.

the execution is good and they're readable and differentiable enough from their original counterparts, and the models work properly without issues. However, the lip sync doesn't work for the hero if another soundset is used other than the ogres'
APPROVED, nonetheless.
however, please add a second attack animation for the unit and please add a channel animation for the hero

Ever thought of turning the Ogre under the Goblin Alchemist into some dual-wielding battle ogre?
