Hey guys, I recently had a very wonderful person from here on Dakka bestow upon me 5K (in the old book) of free Ogre Kingdoms at Adepticon. I am now struggling in the funds department for college, so I need to sell some of it (plus WHFB is not real big at my shop) but I am looking to keep about 2k-2.5k for use since there are still a few players there. What would be a good list to keep out of the following list (never played WHFB properly before):

2) Lord
1) Maneater
1) BSB on Rhinox
2) butchers
3) giants
2) scraplaunchers
2) Hunters with 2 sabertooth cats each
2) Big [20] units of knoblars (basicly whatever the unit needed to be to take a scraplauncher in the old codex)
17) Ironguts
22) Ogres
8) Leadbelchers

Please help me out!
Ben

Ok. Fantastic list for me is.

Slaughtermasted
Bsb
Firebelky
4 units of 6 ogres
2 units of 3 lead belchers.
Scrap launcher.

Use the 2 remaining leadbelchers as ogres to fill your 24

Use the 2 lords as your bsb and slaughtermaster. Use a maneater for the firebelly.

Some mild conversions and yiur sorted :-)

Sell the rest :-)

Oh thats 2k btw...

Just saw you have butchdrs. Use them instead a slaightermaster and a butcher

I would keep 1 Tyrant, both Butchers(which can also be Slaughtermasters), the Scraplaunchers, the 4 Sabretusks, 12 IGs, 16 ogres, and 6 leadbeltchers. If you like Giants, keep 2 of them. 3 is too many.

Sell the rest.


The BSB on Rhinox is just a Rhinox Rider banner bearer. There is no option for a BSB(or any other character) to ride a Rhinox.

Hunters are worthless even in the new book, but the kitties are amazing.

Scraplaunchers are ok, but Ironblasters are better in every way. Try to get 2 Ironblasters when you can.

Or convert the scrap launchers

So as it stands I will be keeping:
1) Tyrant
2) butchers
2) scraplaunchers
4) sabertooth cats
12) Ironguts
16) Ogres
6) Leadbelchers

And selling:
1) Tyrant
1) BSB on Rhinox
2) butchers
1) Maneater
3) giants
2) hunters
2) Big [20] units of knoblars (basicly whatever the unit needed to be to take a scraplauncher in the old codex)
5) Iron guts
6) Ogres
2) Leadbelchers


Sound workable? I want to be able to get some cash but still have a fantasy army to play with..... Anyone interested before I send her off to the swap shop? I'd also swap my keep list for beastmen It's the army I really am in love with, but I still like the Ogres Without asking for specific points does that work out ok right around 2k? I haven't invested in a book just yet.

Thats easily 2500 with upgrades.

Try to keep at least 15 Ironguts, seriously. Never underestimate the power of a gutstar. It is only 3 more. And in competitive play gut stars are really hard to deal with.
