Subject: 2000 Point Ogre Kingdoms Tournament List

I'm going to be taking a slightly unconventional list to my local tournament. The idea here is lots of ogres. With too many ogre lists I see people skimp out on core and spend way too much on characters.
the four ogre units will be 3 wide. The two characters will go in the 10 ogre unit and make it 3 wide 4 deep. This unit will be my anchor.
The ironguts are there to deal with any monsters and high armour units.
The sabretusks are warmachine/wizard hunters and flankers. But mostly they are just there to force people to put down important units in deployment.
Lords
347- (General) Slaughtermaster, lvl 4, additional hand weapon, dispel scroll, crown of command
Heroes
187- (BSB) Bruiser, additional hand weapon, heavy armour, dragonhide banner
Core
417- 9 Ironguts, full command, banner of swiftness
318- 9 Bulls, full command, ironfists
318- 9 Bulls, full command, ironfists
350- 10 bulls, full command, ironfists
Special
21- Sabretusk
21- Sabretusk
Total 1994

Just off the top of my head, I'm just getting back into ogres so take it with a grain of salt.
SM needs more defense, iron fist is good, I'd also drop a dispel scroll for maybe the Armor of Destiny.
BSB same as above, don't take a magic banner stick to defensive items and maybe a magic weapon to deal with ethereal.
Ironguts are solid not a big fan of that banner there are 4 I would put ahead of it, Discipline, Flaming, Dragonhide or Rune Maw
Add a Firebelly or Butcher to carry a scroll-I know you want to keep the points on characters light but 125-150 pts is not too too expensive.
Bulls are great but that's a lot of bulls and fairly large units, probably could trim some to make points for other things.
I don't get why you would invest in the Crown of Command and not put that unit in with the Ironguts.
Tournament list with no Mounfang or at the very least not 1 Iron Blaster.

Thus, After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd

SM and BSB doesn't need more defense because my units are only 3 wide so I can hide my characters in the second rank. The swiftness banner is only there because I had 19 point left over. I suppose I could take away the dragonhide banner for something else, but it's such a nice banner, and striking first as ogres is so so sweet, as is rerolling ones to hit and wound.
The reason why I'm not giving my guts the crown is because I won't send them into units where losing combat is a considerable possibility. I prefer to use cheaper bulls to send into the proverbial "meetgrinder" and then flank/support with my other units.
Mournfangs would be very nice, but it would change the fundamental core of my army list, which is to bring lots of ogres.
