Heya all :)

Long time since I posted here, but it's been a long time since I used my Ogres =P
I recently got back into the hobby, and have been aching to start up my Ogre army again, so now I've got the chance =D

I'm hoping to debut them at an upcoming Torni in Australia, so was after some advice on the list.
Noting that models aren't an issue, I'm just trying to figure out a decent list to take.

(Also note - I'll be starting up a Gnoblog, which'll explain exactly why my Tyrant has that name =P )

The restrictions for the comp are located here -http://www.rankingshq.com/administrator/rankings/playerpacks/Leviathon2010_PlayerPack.pdf

So it means I've got alot more points to play around with, due to the comp in place.

Onto the list!

So any thoughts and comments?
My original thought is that I've gone too character heavy, and should drop, say the Hunter and add some more Guts or Bulls.
But any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated =D

Cheers!
He showed up and apologized for selling the power-saw that killed my first husband, and when I looked in his eyes I just knew...
So you get an extra Character slot? 3 rares?

I'd double up on the Gorgers myself, skip the Slavegiant unless you get extra points for him or something.

Drop Giantbreaker off the Tyrant and get him something more useful like Greedy Fist.

I'd probably ditch the AHW on the Bulls in favor of Bellowers or a Champion.

Bump the Trappers up to 9 if you are keeping the Hunter.

If no, ditch the Hunter for 2 x 2 Leadies.

Hey mate,

Cheers for the tips =D

I've edited the above list - I think it looks a bit stronger now.

I know the Giant isn't really the optimum choice, but I've always wanted one in my list =(
I might trial a few games and see if I like him or not - If I do drop him, what should I add instead?

Any other thoughts on the list as it stands?

I'd like to see Champions on the Leadbelchers and I would lower the Fighters to 20 and get yourself a 9th Trapper.
