1000pt Ogre Kingdoms Re-Starter List

[mdauben]

Fantasy Army: OK

Due to one thing and another its been quite a while since I played WFB. I recently talked to a local forum member about getting back into the game, so I decided to re-start with a small Ogre Kingdoms list to get familiar with the current rule and army book. Looking at what I had in the way of models from the previous army book (when I originally started with OK), I decided to build a list that would require minimal new models, allowing me to get going quickly and cheaply (all I needed to buy was the Firebelly for my general). This isn't really intended to be the most competitive 1000 point list I can make, just a good, basic list to get some practice in with.

1000 Pts - Ogre Kingdoms Roster - Starter Ogres 1000

Firebelly (1#, 164 pts)
. . 1 Firebelly, 164 pts (Always Strikes Last; Blessing of the Volcano God; Fire Breath; General; Ogre Charge; Level 2 Upgrade; Hand Weapon; Great Weapon; Causes Fear; Flaming Attacks; Stomp)
. . . . 1 The Lore of Fire

Ironguts (8#, 374 pts)
. . 7 Ironguts, 374 pts (Always Strikes Last; Ogre Charge; Bellower Mus; Standard Bearer Std; Great Weapon; Heavy Armour; Causes Fear; Stomp)
. . . . 1 Gutlord (Always Strikes Last; Ogre Charge; Great Weapon; Heavy Armour; Stomp)

Ogres (8#, 286 pts)
. . 7 Ogres, 286 pts (Ogre Charge; Bellower Mus; Standard Bearer Std; Hand Weapon; Ironfist; Light Armour; Causes Fear; Stomp)
. . . . 1 Crusher (Ogre Charge; Hand Weapon; Ironfist; Light Armour; Stomp)

Leadbelchers (3#, 139 pts)
. . 3 Leadbelchers, 139 pts (Ogre Charge; Bellower Mus; Hand Weapon; Leadbelcher Gun; Light Armour; Causes Fear; Stomp)

Total Roster Cost: 963

As you see I have 37 points left for magic items and that's what my main question is; what should I spend it on. My first thought was a ward save for the Firebelly, but I could spend it on a magic banner for the Ironguts, or a magic weapon for the Firebelly? Or maybe a combo of 2-3 cheap magic items? Any suggestions. I'd also be open to any suggestions to change the list, as long as they are limited to units from the original army book, as I have most everything that was in that book (except the Maneaters, I never got around to them).

Thanks!

Armor of Fortune to your firebelly might be a nice choice, heavy armor with 5+ ward save for 35pts.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, the Firebelly is a wizard so he can't take magic armor.

Ooooh, forgot about that Firebelly IS fire mage
Talisman of Endurance would be a nice replacement, 5+ ward save.
