I have played 4 games in total with ogres and I dont think I am a newbie at fantasy anymore so feel free to point out mistakes and even create your own lists and post as I have not bought terribly too much of the stuff mentioned ( battalion, Butcher and armybook )
. but please help
List 1
Bruiser = 120 points ( great weapon, Heavy Armour )
Butcher = 135 points ( level 2 wizard )
Fire Belly = 155 ( level 2 wizard )

8 Iron guts = 374 ( Bruiser inside, Bellower, Standard Bearer, Champion )
8 Iron guts = 374 ( Butcher inside, Bellower, Standard Bearer, Champion )

points = 1168

List 2
Butcher = 135 points ( level 2 wizard )

8 Iron guts = 374 ( Butcher inside, Bellower, Standard Bearer, Champion )
30 gnoblars = 100 points ( Groinbiter, musician, standard bearer )

9 lead belchers = 397

points = 1006

list 3
Hunter = 390 points ( harpoon launcher, stonehorn )
Hunter = 141 points ( great weapon )
Butcher = 100 points

10 gnoblars = 30 points ( trappers )
10 gnoblars = 30 points ( trappers )

10 Sabertusks ( hunter with great weapon inside )
Gorger = 90 points

List 1 is illegal as you have put 410 points into heroes. and list 3 has 631. At 1k you are allowed 250 on heroes. List 3 doesn't have enough core either. List 2 seems the way forward, although, drop a leadbelcher, run them 4*2 and you will be in your legal points bracket.

well I only noted that it was 1-3 heroes when I read the rule book so is it illegal to you or in general?

8th threw out the old requirements it is now....
Up to 25% of your total points in Lords
Up to 25% of your total points in Heroes
Minimum of 25% in Core
Up to 50% of your total points in Specials, max of 3 of the same/like unit up to 2,999 points (For example you can have up to 3 units of lead belchers even if they are different numbered like 4, 5, or 6 in a unit still counts as 3 of the same)
Up to 25% of your total points in Rares, max of 2 of the same/like unit up to 2,999 points (For example you can have up to2 Ironblasters)

You must have at minimum 3 units, not including heroes or lords so... solo Heroes or Lords do not count as a single unit.

Therefore List 2 is the legal and also the best list IMO. However, 1k means 1k, while a veteran may spot a newbie 6 points ain't no one spotting 168, and asking another newbie to allow 6 points while might be cool and understanding and friendly to allow it, I personally would try and fit in the agreed 1k point list even if it means trimming off an entire ogre.

Why don't you tell us what you have as based on the previous statement of "I have not bought terribly too much of the stuff mentioned ( battalion, Butcher and armybook ) " then we can give you some viable lists. Those lists you posted makes it appear as if you might have more or intend on buying more, also there maybe some confusion on which battalion you bought, the old one with gnoblars/less guts or the current one sans gnoblers/+2guts

I bought the new battalion, 6 ogres, 6 Ironguts, 4 leadbelchers and I only posted those lists to sort of give a feel to what sort of army I would like and the "I have not bought terribly too much of the stuff mentioned ( battalion, Butcher and armybook ) " is because the best list IMO is most likely the one I am going to buy.

Do you have a copy of the eighth ed rules, saying this you should revise the three list making them legal, as stated before. Also with list two id make 6 iron guts ogres, usually with 1000 pts there's gonna be a small unit the detachment of guts can smash. 9 Leadies is fun, i run 8, but i fully support them again with 1000 pts, depending the army you're facing, you might wanna split 5 and 4 for flexibility. Other than that list 2 is really the only usable one, legally and tactically that is, so uh.. use it.
