Well, the title says it all. My friends and I have decided to start playing KoW, and I'm thinking of going with either Orcs or Ogres. The Ogre models look awesome (and reasonably priced) but I've heard their army list is somewhat limited. Can a pure ogre army be decent or would it be better to just use a regiment or two as allies?

KoW is nicely balanced, an all-ogre army is fine and has access to shooting, horde, fast stuff. The army special rule is quite nice, too.

Plus with magic items you can customise all of the units quite a bit.

If anything, the orc army is a little more limited in that it doesn't have as many shooting options.
