Once upon a time, Blood Gruel looked for an army.

He wandered far and wide, a truly flatulent fellow, searching for a winning army. He adopted different tries and lead each one to the great slaughter.

The problem was, the ogres found themselves on the wrong side of the great slaughter, vultures feasting on their fellow dead.

The Great Maw was unappeased.

Then two meteors fell on opposite ends of the earth. One of Blood Gruel's butchers advised him to travel east. Another advised him west.

Blood Gruel pondered his predicament and attempted to clear his thoughts. Touching his pudgy, scarred forefinger to his gory, massed chin, Blood Gruel loosed a wind most foul and malodorous. He knew what he must do.

Blood Gruel would try at least over a course of ten games. Meanwhile, Blood Gruel's master would paint the army and decide whether or not to sell them on eBay after being embarrassed by the winter league.

I gave both members my available models and told them to have at it. I will fight five games with each list and see which one works better for me. I'll post my progress here, both with the painting and with the battles. I can tell you this, currently I am 1 and 5 in the winter league. The only guy that I beat is the one guy that everyone beats everytime they play him, over and over again. Nice guy, but easy to beat.

So witout further ado, here's Phoenix's suggested list:
Lord:
Blood Gruel the Flatulent, 285
Tyrant
Cathayan Longsword
Luck Gnoblar
GiantBreaker
Talisman of Protection
SpangleShard

Heroes:
Bruiser, 163
Great Weapon
LongStrider

Butcher, 180
BloodCleaver
Dispel Scroll

Butcher, 180
BangStick
Dispel Scroll

Core:4 Bulls, 166
Additional Hand Weapons
Bellower

4 Bulls, 166
Additional Hand Weapons
Bellower

3 Ironguts, 199
Standard Bearer
Bellower
Lookout-Gnoblar
Rune Maw (Tyrant Here)

3 Ironguts, 154
Bellower
(Bruiser Here)

22 Gnoblar Fighters
8 Gnoblar trappers

Special:
2 Leadbelchers,
2 Leadbelchers,
3 Yhetees,

Rare:
SlaveGiant,
Gorger,

And now for OverTyrant Loki's List:

Blood Gruel : Mawseeker+Tenderiser+Jade lion + standard non magical kit
Butcher: Seigebreaker + SKull mantle (str 7 mage that braingobles on -1 ld? whats not to like)
Butcher: Bangstick + Dispell Scroll (extra spell to dispel as well as reliable magic protection)
Butcher: Dispel Scroll Dispell scroll (need i say more).

Bulls x3 no upgrades
Irongutsx3 at least 2 unts + all remaining points go here. Keep in mind that several units of three work better then 1 unit of loads of guts. Less chance to lose a bunch to LD tests as well as protection from losing your most valuable units to massed shooting. Place your butchers in with theese guys as they have superior LD to your Butchers and will keep em on the table.
Gnoblar fighters: If you have points left over but not quite enough for ironguts then a unit here is great. Remember trappers and Gnoblars both count for taking scrappies.
Trappers

Scraplauncher
LeadBelchersx2 Great at shooting up small units. You nay take another unit of 2 and a Gnoblar fighter unit in place of a single unit of ironguts. personal preference.
gorgerx2

May Blood Gruel the Flatulent and his Deadly Winds rise to their full glory, effulgent in the skies! All hail Blood Gruel!
