I took 3 butchers because I played alot with 2 butchers and didn't cast alot of spells...
Butcher 1 in maneater unit
Butcher 2 in Bull unit 1
Butcher 3 in Bull unit 2
Tyrant in irongut unit

The maneaters are going to fight the enemy cav & chariots on the flank.
Next to the maneaters, I put the bulls - Ironguts - Bulls against the enemy front.
On the other flank I put the scraplauncher, yhetees and bull rhinox to destroy the enemy flank and I hope they reach the middle of the battle and support the Ironguts

greetings!

Few random comments:

- Drop the Terror. It isn't worth it (overcosted) and there is a ton of ItP, Frenzy, MoS out there right now.

- Tooth Gnoblars are bad. Spend those points on some magic defense like a Scroll or two. Bangstick is a must for drawing out DD and getting more spells through.

- Not a fan of standards, even less so the Bull standard. Better off taking something that is always useful if you must take a standard - something like ragbanner or the warbanner.

- Not much point in the Gnoblar champs, just take another Gnoblar. You don't want them in CC anyway.

- In my experience ME are much more effective when they all have one type of weapon. Don't go with a mix.

- Not sure how much one RR will do ...

- I think you need at least one unit of Leadies to deal with flyers and fast cav harassing your flanks and slowing you down.

- I dropped the toothgnoblars , daemon-killer scars , 2 groinbitters and bull standard and took 2 dispel scrolls and a war banner ( changed on the list above)

- I think maneaters with great weapons and brace of handguns are great because:

Turn 1 :  8 shots with range 24 + D6 can damage enemy missile fire or cav
Turn 2:  Stand and shoot: again 8 shots and then we take our great weapons and kill them with their T5 (chariots)

If I'm wrong , adjust me

- I have BAD experience with leadbelchers. I took 2 units of 2 leadies and they did NOTHING. Next game they even took damage because of misfire...... So in a game for fun, yes I take them, maybe they kill something but in tournament: no, to much points.

- I have no experience with yhetees : Im going to test them first...

- The bull rhinox is good with a scraplauncher and yhetees supporting him. If the enemey concentrate All of his missile fire on him then my other units are save. And its mostly long range: I put him on the flank

- I think maneaters with great weapons and brace of handguns are great because:

Turn 1 :  8 shots with range 24 + D6 can damage enemy missile fire or cav
Turn 2:  Stand and shoot: again 8 shots and then we take our great weapons and kill them with their T5 (chariots)

If I'm wrong , adjust me

Well if I had the option of taking both that would be amazing! Sadly you must choose GW, CLS, or BoH for each model - you can't have both!

Give your Bull rhinox heavy armour.

Ofcourse!!! I knew something wasn't right! A great weapon is a two-handed weapon, how stupid

Bull rhinox has heavy armour, just forgot to write it down 

Now I have 25 points to spend on something. hmmm what should I buy?

Ofcourse!!! I knew something wasn't right! A great weapon is a two-handed weapon, how stupid

If I read your comment correctly, the reason that the ME's cannot have BoH and a GW (2-handed weapon) is because the ManEaters profile allows them only one or the other.  Not because a Great Weapon is a 2-handed weapon. 

With your 25 extra points I would buy your Tyrant a Wyrd Stone and a Luck Gnoblar.

Each Maneater may replace his ogre club with a Cathayan longsword, great weapon or a brace of pistols. A mix in the unit is allowed.

So for example you can have 2 maneaters with brace of handguns and 2 maneaters with great weapons but you cannot have a maneater equiped with GW and BoH.

I didn't know that, it was a little unclear. Thanks
