I have an ogre army that I picked up a couple of years ago mostly because of the man eater models and I have been picking at it from time to time, building the models up in what is undoubtedly the least effective configurations but again, mostly just because I like how they look.

Okay, that being said, a lot of guys at my FLGS play fantasy and I have been thinking about taking those first few tentative steps back into a game I haven't played in a couple of editions.

First off, I know ogres are far from the "best" army out there but is it possible to at least be competitive? Also, are they fun to play and play against?

My second question is, does anyone know of any good resources for a new ogre player? I don't see a whole lot around here of the fatties, which I guess goes back to my first concern.

Thanks in advance for any pointers you might have.

I suppose if I get too frustrated I can put my round based daemons in movement trays, is that acceptable?

Thanks again.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/270078/1191026.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/270078/1191026.page GMT Ogres?

Basically the army has Skrag, 2-6 Gorgers and 3 more Butchers. Add MSU of Ironguts and you should be good to go.

Competitive and Ogre Kingdoms don't usually go hand in hand.

I'd do Ogres but the competitive side of me demands I take summit else.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/270078/1191320.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/270078/1191320.page GMT Ogres? A couple of general questions FLGS to finally move on, and while I like playing my ogres a lot - their speed, fear causing and high attaks are pretty awesome, as are the models and general character of the army - they became somewhat frustrating for me. I found I had pushed my army as far as I wanted to go, and wasn't really able to compete where I wanted to ...

Which isn't saying that ogres aren't good or fun, because they are both. They just really are Tier 3, which makes it hard to butch up when you want to take on the harder guys.

Check out the Ogre Stronghold for loads of ogre advice, and to see some really dedicated gamers pushing the book or at least sticking with it.

This, but also with Butcher Spam.

By Taking lots of Butchers, and maybe a Tyrant, you can field a pretty good list, but it will be focused mainly around Ironguts.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/270078/1199870.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/270078/1199870.page GMT Ogres?

Thanks again, I absolutely love the models and none of my regular group plays much Fantasy so I will probably just tinker with them a bit and get in games at the game store as I paint them up.

At least they seem pretty fun to play.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/270078/1200422.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/270078/1200422.page GMT Ogres? A couple of general questions
If your group isn't WAAC, you should be fine.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/270078/1200482.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/270078/1200482.page GMT Ogres?
