Ogryn are elite Imperial Guard units in Dark Crusade. They are essentially human slugga boyz: large, better at melee than ranged combat and able to soak up lots of damage. The key difference is numbers: Ogryn have a max squad size of 7 and a hardcap of 1.

They are produced at Infantry Command with the Ogryn Quarters upgrade.
