get some spearmen

they are really nasty against anything
I'd agree with you in most cases Bojab, but Warriors have excellent armour saves and good toughness - S3 is not going to be able to do much.

I think the Dragon Mage is a good idea. Warriors are fairly slow, so by having a flying march blocker you should be able to pick your fights and get plenty of turns shooting at them. I wouldn't be worried too much about his magic. It can be nasty, but you already have a fair bit of magical defense (not forgetting a nice +1 to all dispel rolls). It depends on what magic your opponent usually takes. If he has 3 sorcerers then it's a good idea to keep that 2+ save, if not you might be able to go without.
I don't suffer from mental instability. In fact, I enjoy it immensely.

Gutlord Inquisitor: FORUM FIGHT! Me, I'm betting on the stronghold. Sure, they're outnumbered with thick skulls, stubborn bull-headedness and an inflated sense of self-worth, but hey, they're Ogres.
Have you thought about swapping out of the bolt throwers out for an eagle?
I find they are very handy for march blocking and baiting frenzy units
I think that swapping bolt thrower isn't a good idea.

Against Knights those are going to be handy.

Thanks for the feedback
