My Leadguts tribe :P

Just recently got back into my ogres with the new book and decided to go for an ogre gunline featuring my an 18 strong unit of standard ogres with ironfists and full command, thusfar it has rapidly become apparent that people really do fear such a beast. I usually pair it with my converted thundertusk and Skrag the Slaughterer. When it hits it leaves nought but a bloody mess.

The simple fact is that it has enough ogres to weather the storm of a turn or two of magic and shooting and arrive with momentum enough to devastate, with enough attacks to really win me the combat.

The high level of success, whilst surprizing (606 pt investment for the unit alone) is encouraging and i can't wait to be able to field a mass amount of leadbelcher to compliment this. Be at least a month but i remain optimistic.

All i can say is too much isn't enough... Enemies can hit and maybe kill you some models, but if you have PLENTY of bulls and ironguts you can smash evrything... Loving avalanches is necessary for this plan, but it works, guaranteed... 

Thats true enough, in a recent game i went a little crazy and just fielded large blocks of ogres, lethal in combat and at range (leadbelcher horde) and its very difficult to kill units that size. Only issue with such big units is the ol' "all my eggs in one basket" line. If one of these units is routed, either through combat or panic then thats a lot of points just walking off. Luckily in this regard the size of the unit is a buffer, very favourable odds from shooting and combat, even most magic. The real issue then is the more powerful or trickcy spells and missle weapons, purple sun and its like are lethal, and anything that can cause panic easily (i.e. spells like braingobbler or many flaming weapons)
