Hey guys. My next army is going to be low model count because I tend to take too long to paint. A 2500pt army with regular rank and file will take me 4 years to complete at this rate (1 model or so per week on average). So Naturally ogre kingdoms came to mind. And ogres are awesome and definitely still in the running. I was thinking also of making a throgg army. Using A big block of Trolls as my core. Maybe 2 units of 12. Then adding hellcannons, some kind of crazy chaos lord/sorceror/daemon prince. With some cool/ hard hitting special units like dragon ogres, chaos knights, chimera and spawn.

What do you guys think? Are there any other options for low model count armies?

Chaos monster mash?

is there a working semi-competitive list for chaos monster mash?

WoC, I can make a decent army for 14 models. Granted you will auto lose blood & glory.

2 Daemon princes
5 Nurgle Chariots
Chimaera
2x3 Skullcrushers

that's what? 2400 points? 14 models would be awesome! Although really I would paint up to ~40 really. Like horde of ogres or something lol. I very rarely play blood and glory. I also have a vampire count army already so for anything but pitched battles I can whip them out. Because I play vampire counts where each unit is potentially 30-50+ starting size and up to double that throughout the game pretty much any ogre or monster mash style list is what I'm looking for.

Yeah 2400 pts. You can toss in chaos ogres or putrid blightkings as well. Or a unit or two of warriors.

I just took it to the extreme. I mean I COULD reduce the model count even more but I like the skullcrushers.

I would still say ogres.

An ogre scouting party or some such, with lots of cavalry and big monsters.

Just a thought

Thanks
Austin

If you're not looking for a monster-mash or the 14 model count WoC list, then i'll second Ogres.

You can do a really low body count at 2500 points, but not being purposefully absurdly low. I can make a decent 2500 list with probably 30 total models on the table, and that's got my infantry blocks covered, my monstrous cav, my cannon(s), and a few fun toys for good measure.

Throgg the Troll King, a core group of Trolls, and some Chaos monsters?
