Build my Ogre Army, step by step

original thread ↗

Hey everyone, I am new to Ogre Kingdoms and ready for a new challange. I had the opportunity to buy some second hand boxes only one of them was opened. I bought myself 3x old battalion boxes, 3x mournfang boxes, 2x ironblasters, 2x stonehorns, 1x metal Slaughtermaster, 3x metal Maneaters (Arab, Ninja, Paymaster).

What works best for me is a build and paint plan to for a small army and lett it grow. I am more a person who likes to play a lot, than paint a lot. I would like to field the netlist with mournfang, ironblasters cookie cutters just once in a while but not as my basic army. I would like to try something else, thats fun to play for me and my opponent bring big damage on the field brings victories for a good generals insight.

For example I liked this list from one of the podcast from bad dice #60

Tyrant, Great Weapon, Heavy Armour, Trickster’s Helm, Talisman of Endurance, The Other Trickster’s Shard
Hunter on Stonehorn
Firebelly, Hellheart
9 Ironguts, Full Command Lookout Gnoblar, Banner of Swiftness
5 Ogres, Extra Hand Weapon,  Bellower
7 Maneaters, Standard Bearer, Extra Hand Weapon, Dragonhide Banner
Stonehorn
Stonehorn

I will probably swap one Stonehorn for a Thundertusk, I like the model, and here it's not allowed to use duplicated Rare choises  a lot.
1th challenge: build one battalion box

24 gnoblars straight ahead
4 Leadbelchers straight ahead
4 Ironguts straight ahead no command yet
6 Ogre Bulls 5xhw + ironfist 1x bellower

I will build these first, the gnoblars, LB, IG will just be build as the rank and file models. The next battalion I will rethink what kind of command I will use for my Ironguts and Bulls and how to build the rest of the Bulls. I am not sure how many I need of these with hw+ ironfist and the min group size and how many with 2hw will be usefull to have in stock when playing 2400/ 2500 points games. With one battalion build it will make a good start.If build I will place a picture.
