hello, i'm going to start a army of ogres, but i don't have a lot of money,
so i decided making a army existing out of 2 battleforces and a butcher, this is what it looks like:

HEROES
1 butcher 130 pt
CORE UNITS
6 bulls w/ standard bearer 230 pt
6 bulls w/ standard bearer and lookout gnoblar 235 pt
8 ironguts gutlord 404 pt
24 gnoblar fighters 48 pt
24 gnoblar fighters 48 pt
SPECIAL UNITS
5 ledbealchers 275 pt
3 leadbelchers 165 pt
total: 1700 pt

i played warhammer 40k for 4 years and am now starting with fantasy and have no idea how fantasy stuff works
c&c welcome

First, I'd suggest another character or two; a BSB at the very least. You wouldn't really even need to buy the Bruiser model; bitz on top of bitz could turn an iron gut into one, easy.

Then, I'd actually equip them with some magic and Big Names. Maw Seeker is pretty much a given in most armies.

Honestly, the gnoblar units are probably too small. 30 would be as few as I'd go with, to ensure they stick around for at least one turn before the Bulls can get in.

I'd drop some leadbelchers for the points.

You need a Tyrant or Brusier to lead your army, it's a requirement.

Ironguts need a rune maw. Drop 5 leadbelchers, replace with a bruiser and more bulls, maybe a scrap launcher if you can afford it.
Magic items are important, give the butcher the Wyrdstone pendant, he needs a save.

Ack. I'd just go with the Talisman of Endurance instead of the Necklace. That thing is so weird. And I don't think it's risk is worth the 5 or 10 points you save.

...but yes. I'll agree with all this other stuff.
