1.5k All comers list with a straight swap option

[Adasi]

Hi guys, My LGG tends to play at 1.5-2k depending on the person and i'll be playing ogres @1.5 for the first time this weekend. I don't like listtailoring and find ogres incredibly fun to lose with so i'm not too fussed about being "supah-competetive" - this attitude stems from facing the tough armies my opponents often field!

I most commonly play against Demons, Warriors, Skaven, Lizzies and soon to be Empire.

This weekend, one of my mates will be proxying a Dark Elf army..../joy...

Either way:

The List

L2 Firebelly w/ Hellheart - 205
Bruiser BSB w/ Giantbreaker, HA and GW - 170

7 Ironguts w/FC and Banner of Discipline - 346
10 Trappers - 50

6 Leadbelchers - 258
3 Maneaters w/ HA, GW, Standard with Gleaming Pennant (Swiftstride, Stubborn) - 210***
Gorger - (*)

Ironblaster -(*)

Total - 1500

Now the option is to swap the 3 Maneaters for 3 Mournfang Cav w/ HA and IF's - 210

Tactics
Firebelly -Fire is such a good lore at this points level and any of the 2 spells can be very useful in any battle:
*) Fireball - Obvious use to soften up units from range - good synergy with the Leadbelchers and Ironblaster or just for the +3 to cast the next spell at that unit!
1) Fire Cloak - Useful for when i expect a multiround combat, this can turn the tide if it gets off (and i survive round 1)
2) Flaming sword - really hoping for this one on the leadbelchers! goodbye regen model!
3) Burning head - probably the worst but could be useful against low Ld units
4) Piercing bolts - incredible for hordes - something we will struggle with!
5) Flame cage - great for slowing units so we can choose who to fight!
6) Flame Storm - not bad if not innacurate!

BSB is there for the re-roll but can possibly hold his own - couldn't afford anything better for him!

Ironguts will house the BSB and FB and should pack enough punch to put the hurting on any unit in the game! I've had several slog fests with these against DoC and their damn ward save so the FB's presence and often forgotten flame breath's auto-hits will help out here!

Trappers will guard the Leadbelchers...who will do what they do by shooting chunks out of them! I really rate these and they have been the star of nearly every ogre battle i've had yet!

Maneaters - i usually run double pistols with sniper poison but wanted to try something different - these are set up to get the devastating ogre charge off, hopefully withstand a few hits and then smash back!! The can potentially be swapped out of the list for the mournfangs who will offer em outmanouvring possibilities! And survive long maybe? Whats your thoughts?

Gorger - I've tried once and was impressed and so included him more to see what he can do!

IB - does what and IB does! (flaming sword here for fun!)

So, what do you think? Maneaters or mournfang in this list?

[Adasi]

had 4 games with this list since posting (with no replie..../cry!) and thought i'd update incase anyone cared!

First was against High Elves and was an absolute bloodfest. Won the game with a unit fo Leadbelchers and a a single Maneater left.

2nd was against Empire whic included a Steam tank - i got massacred! Due to him having more drops he used his stank to charge my ironguts and pretty much wiped me out through sheer impact hits striking first!

3rd was against a very experimental Skaven list which comprised of 2 WLC's and a LOT of abushing/scouting poison chuckers! - Basically, he scouted them all on the flanks for my Ironguts and nuked it turn 1 - between that and his 2 WLC's i was reduced to ash piles by Turn 2! He had a WLC slive through my MFC (i'd tried this option in this game!) with a single S10 bolt!

4th game was against Brets and got massacred when a miscast on a T1 casting of Flame sword reduced my FB to a L0 blibbering fool! Ironguts got dual charged by 2 lances and massacred...Maneaters and gorger did an impressive job of taking out all the peasant chaff (bowmen, M@A, Treb but wasn't enough)

Thinking the list may need a re-write but wan to play it against Lizzies and WoC first and maybe dwarf!

Skaven can cause some nasty problems for MI, luckily I've ony played with them, not against them

I'd consider dropping the big name on the BSB (S7 is more than adequate) and a LB, so you can get three Sabretusks. This will hopefully help  with deployment trouble and warmachines
