800pt List, Stuck on Core Choice!

[Dezartfox]

Right, Iive got the majority of the list sorted!

Lvl2 Firebelly with potion of speed and extra hw.

3 leadbelchers with musician

4 maneaters with Musician, standard, heavy armour and extra hand weapons. Potential for up to 15 pts of banner with choices below


Right, so CORE

I've been using 5 Iron guts with a musician and banner with gleaming pennant for that important re-roll.

However I could swap this out for 7 ogres with ironfists, bellower and banner, meaning dropping the 15pt banner (usually +1 movement banner) on the maneaters.

What do you think would work better? The killiness of the IG's or the durability of the ogres?

I'd go with the 'guts - that way your main unit is ld 8 with one reroll. I'd then put the +1 ld standard on the maneaters, and give them stubborn and swiftstride. Two reasonable size units at 800pts, which are very likely to stick around to the last wound.

At the moment I've gone with scouts and immune to psychology on the Maneaters as it freaks out everyone, especially at 800pts, and with ItP you need to kill all of them with shooting instead of just one (There;s a few artillery lists in the campaign I'm in), I'm liking the idea of switfstride though.. especially if I go with the +1 movement banner... Hmmm.
They murder their way through units at this points level, only stopping when they come up against a hard character.

I like the killy power of the Iron Gutz, especially combined with the firebelly, not much that they've fallen against

Just won a small 800 turnament , list was like this.

Firebelly with GW and scroll
6 Ironguts with diciplin banner
4 mournfang with dragonhide banner.

Anyways... Ironguts is the way to go I think, can handle anything! Better than the extra ogre!

We need the three units in our campaign.
I tried the mournfang but they get shot to pieces by artillery to quick, even if I split them into two units of 2 they'll panic and flee to easily  And we're on 4x4, so not much room for manoeuvring around flanks. The Maneaters have done wonders for me so far, and they're a great psychological knife to the opponents plans

I forgot to mention, over the course of the campaign we get 1000pts to spend, I plan to spread it across 5 games, so 200pts a game.

I'm thinking either more maneaters with pistols, or 2 mourfang with HA and IF's and 10 trappers with musician (we have some objective based missions which they will be great for).
