Currently with 2 Ogre battalion boxes and 2 slave giants, I have managed 3000 points only by converting 6 of the ogres (4 bulls, 2 Ironguts) into 4 Heroes and 2 Lords...

I was wondering what other people thought of having so many characters in a 3000 point army...

I was thinking of having the units formed such that only one ogre can be attacked in HTH while 1-2 characters siphoned off attacks...

Bull _ Hero _ Hero
Bull _ Bull _ Bull

Irongut _ Hero
Irongut _ Irongut

I was wondering what you guys thought of this...

While with stats alone, 3 Ironguts > 1 Bruiser, does magic items change that?

I was wondering if buying another battalion box would help?

For Ogres at 3000 points a slaughter-master seems kinda mandatory for dispelling at the very least...

So that would be about 600 for lords and about 205 for the BSB along with another 180 for an extra butcher... What do you guys think about that?

So I noticed that ogres have a strangely difficult time with Rank and File as they are steadfast most of the time. Other than grind the rank and File down with our attacks, is there anything else I could do to quickly break them?
