2400 tourney list (some anti-elf stuff thrown in). Suggestions?

original thread ↗

Hey guys ,new to the forums, and only recently started collecting Ogres. I need some advice-  i'm playing in a tournament next month, and everyone who signs up must say which army they're playing. So far, of the 16 players who are joining, 4 are playing HE, 1 is playing WE, and another is playing DE. the rest are pretty evenly spread out amongst the other armies.

So I came up with a list for all comers, but slanted towards countering magic and being shooty.

Any comments/tweak suggestions would be appreciated.

Slaughtermaster
level 4 wizard; hand weapon; Greedy Fist; Fencer's Blades; Other Trickster's Shard. Lore of Heavens

Heroes
Bruiser (198)   
hand weapon; heavy armor; Ironfist; Battle Standard; Rune Maw.

Butcher (173)   
level 2 Wizard; hand weapon; Ironfist; Rockeye; Ironcurse Icon; Dispel Scroll. Lore of Great Maw

3 Mournfang Cavalry (245)

Characters go into the IG, flanked by trappers to redirect flank charges, mournfangs and IBs go on the wings to cause trouble inhis flanks and take out high value targets. Tactics will change, of course, depending on the batttle scenarios. The organizers like to come up with their own.

Thoughts?

hi bud,
only one of mournfangs can take a magical banner and i would try to get a musician in the gnoblar units
for easier reforms

Oh yeah i missed that.

Okay so remove that extra magic banner, remove the leadbelcher musician maybe, use those extra 25 points to get gnoblar musicians, and a five point weapon on the butcher or something. Thanks!

No nonononononono Keep the musician in the leadies!
They are only able to swift reform with a musician in their ranks.
My horde of beastmen against your ogre horde?

Ok but I get a horde of Leadbelchers.
That list isn't legal. You have to take at least 25% core, and with your ironguts and 2 units of gnoblar trappers you only have 479 points worth - 25% of 2400 is 600 points.
