New Ogre tribe - 1000 pts

G'day to all of you reading this, as the title suggests I am starting an ogre army, retiring my old Dark Elves as I have grown bored with the new rules, Getting constantly flamed because apparently they are 'cheesy' by default but I digress. I've always liked the ogres and their models, mainly because of the massive amount of character each model can show through customization and conversions.

On another note, while I roamed the forums I noticed a well thought out Amended Ogre Kingdom Rules set, as seen here. http://www.ogrestronghold.com/forum/index.php?topic=12686.0

Is it common for people to use these rules to even out the playing field vs the newer books? or do most people just continue to bite the bullet and stick with the outdated rulebook.


So here is my take on a 1000 starter list-

Heroes
Butcher 180
Bangstick, Dispel Scroll

Brusier 152
G.wep, H.arm, 2 S.Gnoblar

Core
3 Bulls 117
H.wep

3 Bulls 117
H.wep

3 Ironguts 144
H.arm, G.wep

4 Ironguts 192
H.arm, G.wep

20 Gnoblar Fighters 40
Sharp Stuff

7 Gnoblar Trappers 54
Sharp Stuff

------- To up to 1500
+Butcher 180
Skullmantle, Seigebreaker
+Tenderiser on Brusier
+2 Leadbeltchers 110
+2 Leadbeltchers 110
+Gorger 75

So that's my go at 1000 and possibly a 1500 list right there. For placement of heroes I will do as follows.

Butcher in unit of 3 bulls riding next to my Brusier in unit of 3 Ironguts.

Other bulls will act as bait/cover, or cover a flank.

Fighter Gnoblars will hold up other flank or advance with center force to divert or combo charge for static combat res.

Trappers will do what trappers do best. Harass.


Any C&C is welcome. Thank you for your time.

Hello and welcome to the Stronghold!

Your 1k list looks pretty good and is similar to what I like to run. I usually take 2 Butchers, but 1 can usually get some spells off too.

To answer your question - no it is not common for people to play with modified rule sets.

you've got to have at least 8 trappers to comprise a unit..
