You won't get the extra attack from the 2nd rank, and you pay too many points to use the fist for defense (more ogres is better).

Light armor, extra weapon and fist are all neat upgrades, but they are all overpriced.

Or, go naked, and spend 5 more points on a 7th bull. Now you get an additional +1 strength on one of the impact hits, all your attacks armor pierce, and should you get flanked, you still have 3 bulls in the mix.

I really like the idea of iron fists, but they weren't cost effective in 7th edition, and they aren't any better in 8th.

3 different options for collecting dinner.

3 attacks at Str4 AP

4 Attacks at Str4

3 Attacks with a 6+ ward


i would probably try to run bulls naked IF the ogre bull box came with the option to actually run them naked

i sometimes go with LA if i have some extra points. a 6+ armor save is better then no save at all. Ogre bulls now won't ever get more then one save if you don't take LA, they can get a 6+ ward in CC, but they will often have 4+ regen too.

6+ armor and 4+ regen is a decent chance of saving your bulls.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/332621/2220966.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/332621/2220966.page GMT How to equip ogre bulls? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/332621/2255472.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/332621/2255472.page GMT How to equip ogre bulls?

You DO NOT gain +1 attack to the models in the second row. 3 support attacks is the cap, the +1 in a 3x3 provides 3 additional attacks for 45 points (9 ironfists)

For me it's the flexibility of either getting an extra attack or using it as a shield in CC and getting the 6+ ward save. Too bad it doesn't work against shooting...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/332621/2262524.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/332621/2262524.page GMT How to equip ogre bulls? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/332621/2262675.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/332621/2262675.page GMT How to equip ogre bulls?

That's fine considering I haven't had a game yet were I had regen in my opponent's turn because if it get's cast, trollguts always gets dispelled. My usual oppenent is an Empire player and he gets extra dice from those cheesey warrior priests, etc. so it's never an issue to dispell any gut magic that made it through my turn.

So yeah, the 6+ has helped.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/332621/2262746.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/332621/2262746.page GMT Re:How to equip ogre bulls?
when you don't have Trollguts(which will be at least 1/2 the game against a smart opponent) that 6+ in CC can be nice.



as to the 2+ ranks not using the IF: this is true, but only IF your opponents is fighting to your front. Ogre blocks are really big and easy to flank. you will eventually be fighting a few flank battles and then the IF can really shine.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/332621/2276854.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/332621/2276854.page GMT How to equip ogre bulls?
What do we do when we hit that bulk of S3 troops? If we cannot keep trollguts up, go last, won't we lose an ogre and a half before swinging?

6 Bulls with IronFist cost the same as 7 bulls with just clubs...

But when it comes to survivability, you can just raise their toughness by 1 instead of giving the bulls regeneration, the result will be the same. S3 against T4 results in 33% wounds while S3 against T5 results in about 16% wounds...

Throw in 5+ armor and 6+ ward and I think we can take on a large amount of S3 attacks... ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/332621/2277261.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/332621/2277261.page GMT Re:How to equip ogre bulls?

i usually have at least 1 Toothcracker up in my turn and often a Trollguts. i try to do as much damage in my turn when i have my buffs and then take any damage in the enemy turn on the cheek.

if my opponent rolls less then 7 for Winds of Magic he often struggles with the choice of Magic or dispelling my Buffs.


i have had many times where my opponent risks 1 dice to dispell a buff and loses concentration. if he doesn't have many dice to play with he often takes the risk.


i also try to get some buffs up on the first turn. opponents wont usually bother dispelling buffs that won't be effecting them rightaway(shooty armies are an exception) and that can let you get some extra buffs up to ensure against him dispelling any.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/332621/2278281.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/332621/2278281.page GMT How to equip ogre bulls?

To get the 5+ armor, you're looking at 5 bulls vs 4 bulls, since you need to buy both light armor and iron fists.
The other problem with Iron Fists is that you're improving your opponents saves as well; by giving up armor piercing.
I don't know what the metagame is in your area, but most T3 models I see have a 5+ save; so taking the fist reduces kills.

Magic is the better solution, +1T, Regen, or +1 Strength are all better than any gear you can buy.


That might be a better comparison as well. If you're looking at army wide, light armor + fist, for those same points, you could instead pick up another butcher.
