Well I'm happy to say that I've finally got enough ogre models to say that my army is complete.This is such a happy moment because it's the first I've fully completed.But now a question lingers,what should my secondary be?I don't want to play any of the armies that my friends play do to respect,and I really don't like the skaven,beastmen,or daemons.I've played orcs before so i know what their strengths and weaknesses are.I've read my friends high elf codex and there seems to be a lot of potential.And a few of I'm thinking that I may try out a slannesh army for the Warriors of Chaos.Finally the vampire counts are just there to be there. After all that I'm left these armies.So....what should my secondary be?
By the sound of it, it seems that the Warriors are the ones you are most interested in. Wanting to try out a new army/style/theme is always a great reason to start a new army!

Yeah, you know orcs, but if you really liked them, you would've had them as a primary army a while ago (since you've played them before).

High elves, by the way you put it, sound like you're tasting them (and not just in the Ogre-stew sorta way ;) ), but you haven't quite developed the want.

VC, well, just because they're there isn't necessarily the best reason to start an army (at least from the information you provided us). I mean, it sounds like they're fun, and they can really rock games, but what is the true reason behind this hobby? Just to win, or to enjoy the models, the painting, all the other stuff, etc.

Now, of course, all this information comes from a small paragraph out of your thoughts. I don't know you personally, nor can I read your mind.  I voted based upon the information I could take from what you posted. Hope it helps :P

Oh, and also... Congrats on finishing your army! I hope that your Ogres will continue to bring joy to you whenever you pull them out and start walloping your foes! :D
33 Gnobs! Over 3 Packs of Trappers! Woot!

I have armies of each of these, except for VC - I have a small contingent of HE, inspired (like everyone else) by the ones in the box (I feel like such a consumer) but I don't play them . . . I have a WoC army which is still in progress, and I'm unsure where to go with it (I want a strong theme). Orcs is my biggest army after Ogres, and (for me, anyway) has a couple of plus points over the others: Diversity and conversion. There are so many possible lists, that it's easy to settle on a theme you like, and they're wildly different in play style, so you can tailor something you find really fun. Then, give it some real character, and go to town with the kitbashing :) So I voted for Orcs. Also less likely to be called "broken" by opponents than WoC or VC . . .
Bulls have grey skin. 'Nuff said.
