Greedy Eaters leans hardest into the feeding theme, returning slain ogors to your infantry units after you destroy enemy units. This is an unofficial summary; confirm the exact trigger, number of models and unit limits in your current book.

What does the formation do?

When you destroy enemy units, it lets you return a slain model to some of your Ogor infantry units, effectively healing your bricks back toward full strength through the game. In an elite, expensive army, replacing even a single ogor per turn is significant value. Verify how many models return and to how many units in your book.

Who does it suit?

Grindy, infantry-based players who want their blocks of Gluttons and Ironguts to stay full and keep scoring objectives. It rewards a list that reliably kills enemy units to trigger the returns.

Key units

Ogor Gluttons - a large unit that benefits most from topping models back up.
Ironguts - elite infantry where each returned model is high value.
Leadbelchers - another infantry unit to refill.
Gnoblars - cheap screens to keep your expensive infantry alive long enough to grind.

When to pick it?

Pick it for objective-heavy, attritional games where keeping your infantry bricks at full strength matters more than a single burst of damage. It's less useful in a fast monster list that isn't leaning on infantry bodies.

Common questions

Does returning models bring back a whole unit?

No, it returns models to existing units rather than resurrecting wiped-out ones, and the number is limited. It's a steady top-up, not full resurrection. Confirm the exact amounts and conditions in your current book.

What triggers the model return?

As reported, the return triggers after you destroy enemy units, rewarding an aggressive, kill-focused game. Verify the precise trigger and timing in your current rules, as these can be adjusted by updates.
