So I was messing around on the warscroll builder and using two start collecting boxes as a base, I came up with this list.

Huskard on Thundertusk 340pts

8 Mournfangs 560pts

12 Ogor Gluttons 400pts

12 Ogor Gluttons 400pts

Stonehorn Beastriders 300pts

The idea being a quick army to build and paint and look reasonably nice sitting on my shelf.

If it can be effective in the game too, all the better.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

I would say this army is a bit sub-par for lack of any magic. Those are also some really big units that will be difficult to maneuver on the tabletop. I would look into reducing their size in order to bring in two wizards in whatever combination suits your fancy. As always, though, how well you will do depends very much on how optimized your local meta is.

I support trying to grab some Wizards for your force. Gutmages or whichever their name is now are quite effective and have powerful spells in their own right. But just in general, I think nearly every army should try to have at least one Wizard in it, to offer some protection from an enemy forces magical shenanigans. One or two denies can force the enemy to at least think about how they cast spells and position their own wizards.

Ok, so Butchers are a good idea?

Here is another list idea that includes them.

Frostlord on Stonehorn 400pts

2 Butcher's 280pts

4 Mournfangs 280pts

2x12 Ogor Gluttons 800pts

2 Grot Scraplaunchers 240pts

That's 2000pts

I was told that large Glutton units was the best way to use them. Is this wrong? I could also swap out one of the Scraplaunchers for a Firebelly.

Keep in mind that any number more than 6 is considered a 'large' ogor unit!

Anyways, that is a solid list. I would swap in ironblasters instead of scraplaunchers as they are better, but the concept of having ranged/melee chariots running around to support the big units is a good one.
