Long story short, ive played a ton of WHFB, but never even picked up the book for the new edition, so i wanted to make a start now.
Wanted a small elite army i could have some fun with, but its a whole new idea for me, so i have no ideas on anything.

Got a small bit of info like the % per choice restriction, so im not 100% in the dark, but i do lack the knowledge of the new magic items.

So, i want a fun list, but i want one i can actually fun in smaller friendly tournaments, so not too soft, but not over the top cheese.

Got 115 points left to play with, read a few threads on various forums 1st, which is mainly where the tusks have come from, along with a SM instead of a tyrant.
But alas, reading and then making something from it are 2 very different things.
Need as much C&C as possible please.
Thanks.


Edit: Forgot to mention.
The characters are split into 2 groups and put with the core units, giving me a nice even 12 models per unit.

will you be taking your ironguts and bulls 3 wide or 6 wide? I can never tell which is which out of the Thundertusk and Stonehorn so I can't help you there. I would also always take a Slaughtermaster over a Tyrant.

More than likely ill run them 4x3, however, i may have to change it about, depending on what i can get to work the best.

Tusk - giant snowball
Horn - Giant rampaging CC beast.

Personally I would take the Ironguts 3*4 for more ranks.

You could stick the 4+ ward save on your slaughtermaster/firebelly for survivability

Seems like a decent idea.
Not familliar with the basic magic items though, so its something i need to look into.
