Ask OverTyrant Loki

[The Loki]

Ogre's are completely viable as an army. They are just low tier. Ive always enjoyed my ogres even if ive been playing Daemons and Beasts of chaos lately.

In fact another member at my gaming club is amassing around 25 thousand points of ogres. When it comes down to it they are a fun list and can still win games if played well.

As for building an army Ironguts are king and the bulk of your points after characters should be spent on them.

Gorgers are incredible and i suggest taking 2.

Scraplaunchers are also very good for their ability to do double work as a line breaker (via impact hits and ALOT of attacks) and dropping nice fat killing blow templates on....... well its good at killing just about anything.

do not slouch on characters/gut magic and avoid the hunter like the plague.



If you have any specific questions feel free to ask. Ill do what i can (which is everything nyuck nyuck)

dear great over tyrant although i'm a veteran player i'm new to the ogre kingdoms having only played with them three times all three were wins [one purely by the luck of the gods of dice] i taking on the warriors of chaos and feel like i could use a little advice units magic item combos and general tactics also if you know how to kill a unit of blood crushers i would be very grateful [forgive the lack of a halfling my tyrant ate them when i wasen't looking.

Please i need best way to beat Bretonians, 4 times i playd n lost on 3000 pts

I think your best thing to take against brettonians is going to be a mix of butchers and leadbelchers. make sure you can face them before they charge, unload the cannons, and watch the units crumble. they will still get decent saves, but the massed fire will certainly take care of that.

Bretts are rarely magic intensive, and as such, your magic will likely go off unanswered. This is where things like toothcracker and the 2d6 S2 attacks come in. The MM will get past the retardedly good armor, and the toothcracker says you can actually take their charge, and not worry too much about losing the combat, as your LD will remain decent.

I know this forum is mostly dead now, but there are some of us still around. I hope this helps you, and good eating.

What happens when i cast a trollguts on a unit that already have trollguts RIP on it? Does first trollgut end before i cast the second trollgut or after i sucessfully cast? In other words: are gut magic RIP as standard rip in this mater or do they get disspeled only when sucessfuly replaced?

[The Loki]

Only when Replaced. Each gut magic spell overides any buff that is in play on the same unit. If its not cast (via dispell of failing) then the old spell remains in effect.

Oh great Overtyrant Loki, I am new to the kingdoms, and have only one question at this point in time. Will you take a look at my army list and tell me what you think?

O great OverTyrant! Here my plea! Just finnishing up the touches on my new wood elf army and have been having a great time with them. But my heart aches for my ogres I left behind. They were called Bloth Gorebelly's Sellswords, Mercinaries exdordinare! I had alot of fun building and coming up with fluff and character for the army and I think I got rid of them before I really gave them a chance. Sure Im not going to win every game, but by god ill have fun either way! So here it is my next fantasy army is my revisit to ogres in the form of Bloth and his wandering tribe of sellswords:

Lords & Heros

Bloth Gorbelly- Tenderiser, Gut Maw, Wyrdstone Necklace, Heavy armor, Brace of handguns, Luck gnoblar

Butcher (Battle Chef)- Siegebreaker, Skull mantle, Luck gnoblar

Butcher (Cullinary expert)- Halfling cookbook, Dispel scroll, Luck gnoblar

Butcher (High priest)- Bang stick, Dispell scroll, Luck gnoblar

Core

3 Bulls (Bait)- Bellower

3 Bulls (switch)- Bellower

3 Ironguts (Personal Guard)- Bellower, Rune Maw, Lookout

3 Ironguts (Sellswords)

20 Gnoblar Fighters (Meatshields)

20 Gnoblar Fighters (Snacks)

8 Trappers ( Eyes and Ears)

Special

2 Leadbelchers (LOUD NOISES!)- Bellower

2 Leadbelchers (Fire support)- Bellower

Rare

2 Gorgers (Tooth & Claw)

= 1999 pts

So can I make this list any better? I play a wide range of armies in my area and want to be as competative as possible at the 2000pt lvl. I like to have fun with this army but wouldnt mind pulling a win out once in a while. Also wondering what I could switch around to fit a scraplauncher, or yhetees in there? I havent used either but would love to try. Also what should I do with the butchers as far as placment and tactics? So who would like to help and old Tyrant get off his rump, whip his Sellswords into shape and win some battles for the MAW!?
