Maneaters (Great Weapons) are an 
Ogre Kingdoms monstrous infantry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer II with Ogre Mercenaries, before being added in Total War: Warhammer III with Ogre Kingdoms (DLC).
Recruitment[]
Unlocked with: Bounty Tent
WH2[]
- Moving any army to an Ogre Mercenaries camp and choosing Hire Headeaters Tribe in the Talking With Tyrants dilemma
Description[]
When they return to the Ogre Kingdoms, Maneaters take any opportunity to bore their tribe-mates with long fanciful war stories, some of which are even true. Although such tales are tiresome, an Ogre Tyrant is always happy if he can call on the services of one or two units of Maneaters to aid his tribe. They will be used to lead important attacks, or hold a vital part of the battle line. Maneaters are famously stubborn opponents and usually prefer to fight to their last breath rather than flee.
Attributes[]
- Monstrous Infantry
- ▲ Armour-Piercing: The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
- ▲ Anti-Large: Anti-Large: Anti-large units have an advantage against targets that are at least as large as a horse. This advantage can be a damage bonus against large targets or an attack that focuses on a very small area. However, some units are simply better against large targets because their attacks are slow and easy to dodge by skilled melee combatants.
- ▲ Ogre Charge: When attacking braced charge defenders, this unit only loses half of its charge bonus.
Strategy[]
The anti-large counterpart of the maneaters, this unit boasts a very cost effective stat spread and is your definitive answer against big armored monsters, cavalry, or in a pinch, armored infantry as well. This unit has low armor and is vulnerable to missle fire, so make sure to choose your targets carefully to get the most value out of it.
