Well, Its been awhile since I have been here... Summer has been busy, swimming, traveling.... (stuff no one cares about)

...anyways.  So I came back to work on my Ogres and I have made a legal list hopefully.  Hahah.  And here it is... my last list wasn't a legal list, so I made one.  Thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated.  And BTW, this list is sort of risky with such low models but you shall see...  icon_wink

((2009))

----------------------------------

So basic run down of gameplay... Ghark and Ironguts up the middle.  Rhinox Riders down the right and left.  And Leadbelchers and trappers go around and have fun doing what they do best.  I know its a risky manauever to pump in all points for 6 Rhinox Riders but I though it would be fun to play with and experiment.  icon_biggrin
Just because I am paranoid doesn't mean people aren't out to get me.

First off, you can't have two of the same magic items, in this case you have two Rune Maw Banners.
Other than that the list is legal. It should be fun to play with, but half your points are pumped into two easily manipulated units with low leadership, so expect to suffer alot vs. anything with warmachines, fast cavalry, scouts, or skirmishers, because those things will either knock the riders around or lead them on a wild goose chase the entire battle.

Ahh, ok.  So really this list is a bad Idea haha. I still might want to try it though.... (And I edited the list.  Thanks!)

Oh try it certainly, I'd love to play it too. It's just probable it will suffer against alot of armies. Hell, most armies really. The rhinoxen will destroy everything they get into contact with, but you have so few units you will get in very few winning combats, and the enemy can easily attack everything but the rhinoxen and/or surround the rhinoxen and wipe them out.

Yeah... I figured they would wipe everything else out... But the list was just for Rhinoxen.  hahah.

Actually I played a thousand points list, which my friend agreed to, and I used 3 rhinoxen.  Almost bare, but some upgrades.  Basically my whole army accept the rhinoxen was killed, and they killed about 4 models.  The Rhinoxen almost made it a tie.  They went threw and almost killed every other enemy unit, accept for a hero, a priest, and 3/4 another squad.  If I only killed off his hero instead of 1/4 the squad, I would of tied my friend.  (He didn't understand how powerful the rhinoxen were hahaah.)  So this is a major reason I chose to have, Two squads of Rhinoxen!  icon_wink

Hmm...makes me think to field 9 rhinoxen...

At 2,000 points the trouble is that you have two large units that are Bad Tempered. And the enemy will have enough units that they can easily throw them at your rhinoxen to keep them busy. And since your army is your Rhinoxen the rest will get torn to shreds. Expect any good player to keep your rhinoxen from getting a whole lot of victory points and surrounding the rest of your ogres.
