I'm still kind of new, but I can give you some pointers that I've picked up:

Give the Mournfangs HA as well. That 2+ save is killer.

I would suggest picking up at least 1 Ironblaster. Not sure what to take out for it, but its definitely worth its weight in gold.

I would take a Stonehorn over the Thundertusk. You know you are playing Ogres and the main reason to take the Thundertusk is the ASL aura and I'm not sure how beneficial that might be. The icy sphere attack is good, but I think I'd rather have another angry mean charging monstrosity on my side.

I personally would take a Slaughtermaster over the Tyrant and give him Lore of Beasts. Lots of useful buffs in there for ogres. And you can still kit him out similar to your tyrant. Again, thats just my particular play style though.

Only other thing I can think of is using some kind of redirectors - Sabretusks or Gnoblars. Sabretusks are great to divert charges (which will be important in this match up), and gnoblars can work if you can get them out there in the field.

- Sorry the Mournfangs do have heavy armour, I just left it out of the list when typing.

I do have the Ironblaster model, I just haven't got round to building it yet. I don't know if I will get more than one though.

I might swap the Tyrant for a SM, do you think it is necessary to upgrade to level 4?

Not sure about making the SM too choppy, his stats aren't up to the job I don't think.

I might proxy the Thundertusk as a stonehorn but I thought the ASL aura of the Tusk could be helpful against Ogres couldn't it? Getting my hits in before theirs could be useful when we can both do a similar amount of damage.

I haven't got any Sabretusks or Gnoblars at the moment but some Sabres are definately on the cards. Not sure about Gnoblars though as I kinda want a semi elite feel to the army (and to keep the numbers of models down).




Again, these are just my observations from the games I've played. Feel free to completely dismiss any or all of this advice.
Good luck, and let us know how it goes!

Tyrant slaughtermaster is 10 x better than tyrant, great weapon and 4+ ward glittering scales and fencer's blades also great combo
Sword of Anti Heroes, Talisman of Preservation, Heavy armour, ironfist, Giantbreaker
Butcher firebelly is probably better against ogres
11 Ogres
Hand weapons, ironfists, light armour, full command
4 Ogres
Hand weapons, ironfists, light armour, full command
6 Leadbelchers
Bellower

4 Mournfangs
Get heavy armor as mentioned?
Thundertusk I'd drop it for more ogres if available. Actually some gnoblar trappers would make opposing ogres die in droves for the points.
