Ogre Gun Line!

(1/1)

Clymer:
Sort of gun line. Would love feedback. I have enough models to swap out pretty much anything, like iron blasters, a giant, Maneaters, etc., so let me know if you think I should swap something out.

The idea of this army is that it can stand back and cause havoc from range and then have a brutal counterpunch as things come towards it. Or, it could go on offense, the stonehorns and Mournfangs are fast! But I am definitely feeling the lack of flyers in this army.

Slaughtermaster will go in the bulls, and take oaken shield and tooth cracker, so that with any luck that unit can get to have T5 with 5+/5+/5+ saves… if that doesn’t keep them on the board with their combined 33 wounds, nothing will. Then we’ll go for fireball and pillar of fire to cause max ranged damage. Stonehorns each have 2 harpoons, which for only an 8 point upgrade cost felt worth it, even if they don’t end up shooting because they’re marching. Four shots at S6, AP -2, and D3 wounds is no joke. With battle magic I could even switch out for curse of arrow attraction if I want to maximize those shots.

I’m less certain about the braces of pistols on the mournfangs. At 12 points each, they’re much less economical than adding the harpoons for the stonehorns. I also weirdly think I’d be less likely to use them. I could drop those and swap in demon slayer scars or a power scroll on the slaughtermaster instead,  guess. Or give the mournfangs a magic banner, either war banner or bull standard.

Anyway, those are the thoughts, here’s the list

Warlord:
I don't know Ogres well enough to visualise what works and what doesn't unfortunately. Did you want me to move the review to the main TOW board?
