Folks,
I have only just got back into WHFB and have re-raised my beloved Ogres.
I have watched a number of threads on both this and other forums where Ogres have been taken down due, in part, to relying on double Iron blasters, 6+ Leadbelcher units or double Stonehorns. I call them tricksy armies. Surely our strength lies in our big beefy boyz smacking little uns around.
I am planning to enter local tourneys and, having read the forums as to the best and worst we have at hand, offer the below as my proposed list.
The couple of games I have played has been where there was limited magic attack but my buffs certainly paid off. A Lvl 3 SM covered off nicely in my needs in all games.
My comment - Yes I have taken a Hunter with (either 1 or 2) Sabre sidecars but I believe this offers a bit of punch for a fast flanker with 5 x Str 5 and 6 x Str 4 attacks and the Hunter is ITP due Frenzy sword. In addition Shield of Ptolos may help him survive just that bit longer.
Can I ask for constructive criticism on how to change my list to be able to be competitive in a 2400 point open list, take on all comers tourney.
The list
Slaughtermaster, LvL 3
Fencer's Blades,Glittering Scales,Dragonbane Gem,Crown of Command
Bruiser BSB,
Armour of Destiny,
Hunter,
Berserker Sword,shield of Ptolos,Potion of Speed,
3 Ogre Mournfang Cavalry (Ironfist + Bellower Mus + Standard Bearer)
1 Dragonhide Banner
10 Gnoblar
8 Ironguts (Bellower Mus + Standard Bearer)
1 Gutlord (for challenges)
1 Banner of Eternal Flame, 10 pts
8 Ogres + Ironfist + Bellower Mus + Standard Bearer
1 Crusher (for challenges)
4 Leadbelchers (Bellower Mus)
1 Sabretusks
1 Sabretusks
1 Stonehorn
1 Ironblaster
Total Roster Cost: 2396
Please help me out with credible feedback.
Cheers in advance
