hello
A small group of use are just about to start a slow grow army build.
i have decide on ogre kingdoms,and was wondering what would be my best 500pts start
i have looked in the army book ,and this is my list
1x ogre fire belly
4x bulls with iron fist,standard,bellower.
3x iron guts
2x leadblechers
dont want to take gnoblars as dont like the models
does anyone out there want to try to help me make a better one
i will be facing 2 chaos warrior,skaven,dark elf,empire,tomb kings,vamp counts
please give it a go if you have time before i spend the cash
thanks and cheers

Why o why do people insist at playing such low points? 1000 is where Fantasy should be started.

Ok, looks decent for what little options us ogres have at such low points. Firebellys are brutal at low points for sure.

Firebelly, saber tusks and iron guts.
When you can get enough points in rares, add iron blaster.

Thanks for the imput
we are starting at a low points value because the group is all at different levels
and at 500pts this will stop the more "win at all cost players" ruining the experience for the rest of us
by kicking are butts and putting us off continuing with the slow grow army build
cheers

Actually, I find the opposite at 500 points.
A lot of armies are going to get 1 character, and 3 tiny units.
The games can be so stupidly short, they are no fun.

Take ogres for example.
At 500 points you get
Fire Belly with extra hand weapon
7 Ironguts with full command and Gleaming Pendant (re-roll Ld test, 1 use)
2 units of 1 sabre tusks

At 500 points, you can make death stars, but you can't take solutions to them (enough redirecters, powerful magic, or significant warmachines)
