2400 Point Tourney list

original thread ↗

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.

Slaughtermaster, LvL 3 
Fencer's Blades,Glittering Scales,Dragonbane Gem,Crown of Command

Not sold on the lvl 3 - his kit is fine but cant find the extra points to get that additional spell to increase chance of trollguts?

Love your hunter sidecar frenzy combo, you have enough target saturation for him to be the 2nd target for a cannon to the face. he'll be charging turn2 most games.

Would love to see the mournfang come out and maneaters come in but thats personal prefence both will do the same job.
Thanks for the reply.

 Maybe your right as I'm not sold on mournfangs except as a point sink.
Yeah they strike very hard but are a fire and forget weapon that I already have in 2 big blocks.

I'll play around with the list and work in some maneaters, maybe in combo with hunter they can do some flank rolls.

As to a lvl4 SM, the extra buff spell would help but again I'm playing with points and trying to keep big blocks .

I'll re work the list and attempt ver 2.

cheers
