I'm wondering if there is a consensus about the best way to arm Tzeentch marked chaos ogres to fight against all comers?

Heavy Armour+Ironfists.

4+/6++ at range.

4+-/5++ in combat.

Chaos Ogres can't take iron fists, I'd say GWs, hit harder rather than more often.

Yeh they still get 3 attacks each plus ogre charge and stomp so heavier hitting is better than 1 extra attack in most situations.

I run mine as Khorne with AHW, 15 attacks plus impact and stomp for 120pts (and 6inch move). Perfect as chaff and anti chaff.

While not a bad setup, not particularly fitting for this thread.

Tzeench Ogres?
How about armed with a display case.

If you're dead set on ogres with mark of tzeench, then go great weapons.

Having looked at the Chaos book, I'd go multiple units of 3 ogres with great weapons, musicians and champions. Charge in, declare a challenge, they do 3 wounds, you do 2-3 and a charge. Or they decline the challenge, and do 3 wounds, you do more because the champ wails on the unit with the supporting attacks as well.

Ogres aren't that great a choice. You can't gutstar it up. And you have other choices that do the same thing, but better.

But couldn't you gutstar the chaos ogres by using gorebulls/doombulls as the characters?

Or maybe just use trolls because they're cheaper and possibly core.

Back to OP.

I like to use a unit of 6 Ogres with great weapons and MoT every once in a while to change things up, but there are better options to take. The biggest issue, is like with many units in the warriors book--lots of alright things, but many good/excellent choices that eat up all your points.
