Hey guys,

Thinking about getting into Fantasy, and wanted to start out with ogres. One question i have is, i have seen alot of lists and batreps running just 2 leadbelchers, from what i can see in the armybook, and in battlescribe the minimum size is 3. Am i missing something?

THanks!

You can't have just 2 models. Maybe it was just two ranks (6) or 2 units of 3.

Thanks, wanted to make sure i was not missing something. I have seen alot of lists and videos with people just using 2. Perhaps that was from an old codex?

And I have seen zero lists/videos of that. Where exactly have you been seeing this?

Could you (or someone else) be confusing Ironblasters with Leadbelchers?

99% sure dpaway is right lots of people make lists with 2 ironblasters nobody takes just 2 leadbelchers.

First seen it in this list:

http://www.librarium-online.com/forums/ogre-kingdoms/131123-competitive-1500-ogre-army.html

Then this article seems to point to a 2 man squad: http://www.ogrestronghold.com/articles/tactics/43.php

and another:
http://www.ogrestronghold.com/articles/tactics/39.php

Then found it in this batrep:

I guess that's the danger of reading tactics articles and army lists from 2008, before the current edition of the Ogre Kingdoms army book.

The latest Ogre Kingdoms book was released in September of 2011, so I would narrow your search to that date and onwards or look for the keyword "8th Edition" to avoid confusion.

Those are from the old edition the new book came out in 2011 those articles are from 2008 and 2009.

Thats what i figured was going on, just threw me off when i seen video's from this year still using 2.

Thanks guys
