With the addition of weakened monstrosities in Auric Maelstrom modified missions, specifically monstrous specials, we have had the glorious experience of having to fight several monstrosities (sometimes full strength ones) at the same time. This is actually a really fun challenge and I would love to see more of it in games.
I propose that weakened (or maybe even full health!) 2-3 plague ogryns might sometimes spawn as part of patrols. Generally these patrols would include things like gunners, shotgunners, crushers, maulers, bruisers, etc. Not too many extra chaffe but enough to make running into this kind of patrol an actual terror. Such patrols should only ever spawn in Auric level missions and the frequency should not be too high.
Personally I think that a group of Plague Ogryns should just be a replacement for the actual full mini boss, maybe with reduced damage and obviously each one has reduced health but still a large overall health increase. I think having a mini boss thats a full group is very interesting and fun and would look forward to it.
also while it was somewhat surprisingly hard to find good photos of these guys the original Plague Ogryn models came in a squad of 3, and I think that would be cool here.
And I think on Monstrous Specialists having waves of like 9 weakened Plague Ogryns would be stupid fun.
To add to this, I sometimes had double full health spawns of Bosses at Maelstrom end-game events in patch 13 including (but not limited to), Assassination events and Ascension Riser’s event (boss pair spawned TWICE one at the start one when reaching the top and it was glorious, one of each pair even had nurgle blessing in one of the runs).
This should always happen on Monstrous Special Maelstrom because it’s an absolute blast and a glorious last challenge to end the run.
