Tossing some silly idea out here, how would an ogre list with only two 12 man units of ironguts for any form of ranks fare out? This would probably not fare well against magic/etheral heavy armies I suppose or hoard armies with flankers, or artillery heavy empire/dwarves/wotnot

Slaughter master has Guts magic, Butcher has beasts. BSB and Butcher go in one unit, Slaughter in the other. Gorgers are there for ambushing or just lone flanking, I realize though they're not the most optimal of specials

148-Bruiser: BSB, Banner of Eternal Flame, Ironfist, Heavy Armor
168-Butcher: Level 2, Dispel Scroll, Ironcurse Icon, Ironfist

Gourger are very good at one thing. Preventing your opponent from fleeing a charge on turn 3 to 6.
With big beat sticks (12 iron guts) having a gourger or three come in from behind to threaten to charge if anything flees from the big blocks is really good.

I'd drop 1 gorger and the scrap (210 points) for 3 solo cats and 6 units of 10 gnoblars. Gnoblars just clog up a flank, and the ogres do the rest.

what kind of magic are you going to use?

Already mentioned in my first post, SM has Maw (sorry, I called it guts for some reason), Butcher has Beasts

Hmm, interesting. No trappers though I assume?
