New army new list (2.4K) C & C needed.

Hi am just getting round to doing the ogres I have always wanted. The theme is a band of ogre mercenaries in the empire so big beasties are limited and expect many floppy hats and moustaches.

The list I have come up with is

Lords
Slaughtermaster, level 4, fencers blades, crown of command,
355pts

Heroes
Bruiser, BSB, runemaw, heavy armour, great weapon
205pts

Firebelly, ruby ring, dispel scroll
170pts

Rare
Ironblaster
170pts
Ironblaster
170pts

Special
6 leadbelchers, bellower
268pts
6 leadbelchers, bellower
268pts
3 x kitties

Core
10 Ironguts, full command, +1 ld banner, lookout gnoblar
480pts

6 ogres, full command, ironfists
222pts

I have 29 points spare by my count. My main concerns are no hellheart (could move dispel to SM and lose ruby ring to get it but I was aiming at having the firebelly as a simple fireball thrower).

Also no mournfang; are they really needed for a competitive list?

Also the amount of shooting is 12 lbs and 2 IBs is this gonna scream cheese? I was thinking of putting the firebelly in 1 unit of lb but feel a unit of 7 to become 2 ranks of 4 might be better for that.

I was trying to avoid a deathstar but feel the core might be better if I dropped the normal ogres and used the points for another 5 guts then could put all 3 characters in there.

So opinions? Has anybody ran a list with no mournfangs at this points level with any success?

Thanks

Your list looks pretty good, and is close to what I usually run myself. The Runemaw definitely rewards the gutstar over multiple units, so you could either horde up like you said or drop it for a 4++ on the BSB and add a couple more ogres into the other block for two combat blocks. I love the two units of leadies, use them to clear the way of enemy chaff and smaller size units at first, and then double-team larger units for extra oomph. With all that shooting you can make many armies come to you, redirecting with kitties (get two or three in this list!) and charging flanks

Looks like a pretty stock standard rock/paper/scissors army list.  I'm not trying to be negative at all but I was let down as soon as I saw the Stubborn hat.

Be creative for maw's sake people (not aimed directly at you chris). 

I like to think I wont need the stubborn as my guts should be winning combat but you never know. Would you change it to a hellheart then give him a ward?

I was planning on having bsb in 2nd rank so without runemaw would you think magic resistance could be useful or keep him cheap then have extra bodies in the bull unit?
