>good value
it is. It's over or around 1k points.

>good box for a total beginner
I would recommend getting a box of gluttons first if you like ogors. Painting and building a faction's basic tropp/battleline unit is a good way to know how you feel about them cause you WILL be bringing some battleline no matter your army. You can't just avoid it like you can avoid running certain characters or monsters etc. Still, the spearhead is the 2nd best place to start (in my mind) and the 1st best place to start according to everyone else

>looks quite a bit bigger
It's definitely an anomaly. If it was released today it would be missing the cannon or the mournfang rider. Their rules in Spearhead games make them start with some of their units in reserve, coming in later on to keep things balanced IIRC.

>are ogors fun
never played them but they have a lot of fans cause ogors are funny and cheap/easy/simple to play and paint.

>easy to paint
yes. very easy. mix orange+white for their skin, apply a ruddy skin wash over it and ur good. paint the pants 2 colors, the belt and shoes in black. 2 metallics for the weapons and gut plate. grey for the stone clubs, brown for the handles.

beware that the models are very dated. Not bad, but the scale and sculpting definitely look their age. You should look into 3d prints if you can't stomach it. there are loads of Ogor proxies done very well online

>easy to play
>what do they play like
yes. run at the enemy and eat them. your guys do good damage but are deceptively fragile. gluttons are a staple. ironguts are not worth it over gluttons. the Ironblaster cannon is strong. I heard the butcher is very strong too but it's an old resin model that might get nerfed or changed anyway. you will also need gnoblars. some people run the big stonehorns too, don't know much aside from that. they haven't gotten their battletome yet.
