Moving to WHFB from 40k, decided on Ogres. All I have is one box of bulls, so any and all suggestions are appreciated and necessary.

Heroes:

Butcher LVL 2 w/ ironfist- 138 pts

Core:

6 Bulls w/ full command and ironfists- 222 pts

Special:

3x Leadbelchers- 129 pts

2x Mournfang Riders w/ heavy armor and ironfists- 140 pts

Rare:

Ironblaster-170 pts

799/800 pts

I plan on buying a slaughtermaster/butcher model and using it as a butcher (friendly games) and then transitioning it to an actual slaughtermaster at larger point levels. I plan on playing mainly lizardmen (my dad). Thanks!

I always take musicians whenever possible, especially with an army with poor LD that depends on winning combats to stick around (spoiler: that's Ogres). There are a couple ways to make this happen in this list: drop the ogre champ, then drop the Butcher's level or drop a Leadbelcher (I'd say drop a core Ogre, but then you're under 25%). I think ... I would consider changing the L2 Butcher to a L1 Firebelly, actually. Good model too, and one you'll use in many games, and while his magic is so-so, he comes with a lot for his points, including S4 breath weapon, fire ward, S6 flaming attaks, etc. In a list this looks like:

Firebelly - level 1 (FIRE), great weapon = 129

6 Bulls - standard, musician, ironfists = 212

2 Mournfang - musician, ironfists, heavy armor = 150
3 Leadbelchers - musician = 139

Ironblaster = 170
--------
800

I think you'll get more mileage out of this dude at smaller points, even if he never casts anything but 1-2 big fireballs a game (probably used to burn up annoying skirmishing lizardmen ) and instead just beats on stuff and blows fire when needed.

But otherwise list looks good, welcome to Fantasy

Thanks a lot! I've been looking at the firebelly model. I will definitely be trying him out
