Starting up Ogres, a welcome change after scores and scores of undead Zombies. Picked up my first box of Bulls today and used a shit load of green stuff on them. Pics might be coming soon, not sure. I have to see if I still even have a camera.

I wouldn't bother paying for the gutlord. 20 points for 1 attack is sorely overpriced. Thats 1 attack that only may wound or not be armor/ward saved. If you buy a standard with those 20 points, thats +1 CR always, which is better than 1 wound. 20 points is over half the cost of a bull. Two champion upgrades = 40 points = 2 extra attacks. 1 bull + extra hand weapon = 39 points = 4 attacks and 3 wounds.

You might also look at buying lookout gnoblars, or find somewhere to free up 35 more points and get a second gorger. They really work well in pairs.

Don't know if you were posting to get comments on the army list, but I just can't help myself.  :P

I once accidentally declared a 20" charge because I though it looked like 12
Theres 25 points in tooth knob;ars which are a waste of points IMHO as a natural roll of a 2 is always a failed spell anyway.

Well he didnt tell me but I know he was thinking it

agreed, that's at least another standard on one of your iron gut units running without.

Thanks

One gorger at 2000 points will do very little. Your enemy should have plenty of models available to turn around and shoot it/fight it, and win. Two will ensure one gets to the enemy and causes havoc, or your boys get to the enemy, intact.

If by RAW, you mean "Reg06's Audacious Whims", then you'd be right.
