I am putting together a point cheat sheet for my army. Does anyone know where it is written in 6th edition that that Ogre Kingdom Ogres only need 3 model per rank? I know they can i just cannot find in the book anywhere.

I don't think they can. The Bull Charge rule mentions a 'fully ranked unit of twelve Ogre Bulls' as having a frontage of four models. Presumably this caused some strife when 7th edition increased that to five...
Look-out gnoblars reduce the models needed for a Look Out, Sir roll to three; are you perhaps getting mixed up with that?

These aren't official sources, but it's been mentioned in a couple of places online: https://lounge.belloflostsouls.net/archive/index.php/t-6515.html https://www.avianon.net/tactics/ogre_units_chars.php

If it is anywhere, it would be in the armybook. I don't believe that this is a rule for large models like that in the BRB.

It doesn't say that anywhere in the rulebook - you still need 5 models to constitute a full rank, and benefit from Look Out Sir!, Unless you have a Lookout Gnoblar.

However, unlike in future iterations, you don't need ranks to benefit from extra Strength on the Bull Charge - you just need the model to be directly behind. So if you had 4 Bulls in a rank of 3 and a rank of 1, then one of the 3 Bulls I'm front would benefit from +1S.

I'm future iterations it's the standard rules for Monstruos Infantry that give Ogres' 3* ranks.
