Not bad, but I would take out the leadbelchers and put in some pikemen. The more core the merrier. ;)

I like the idea of the Leadbelchers just trundling up the middle and getting to within 12" of the enemy and letting fly with 3 artillery dice worth of hits. And if someone is daft enough to go HtH with them it's 10 Str4 hits from a fear causing unit.

I just thought they were a bit expencive(or any other ogres) for a small game.

They are expensive but also effective if the artillery dice roll correctly :D

It's true they are a little expensive, but they could really win a game in such a small point encounter. However, they could really be a waste of points and inevitably lose you the game if your opponent takes a cannon or other powerful warmachine. :hmm:

Thats what the cavalry are there to do, get down the flanks and take out any cannon there may be.
But knowing my opponents I'll most likely be facing Elves or Chaos so no cannons

All I can say is if you keep the Leadbelchers, ditch the Thunderfist. Ogre champions are almost always a waste of points as regular Ogres are so good anyway. You may also want to get rid of their bellower as they could very easily blow themselves to pieces in the shooting phase, making him a waste of points.
This is a small list (I thought my Border Patrol DoW list was small :) ) so I think you'll have a bit of a challenge on your hands.
