Triddion:
Hey guys, after a bit of a break from posting lots of lists I decided I would put this one up after getting a couple of games with different variants of this list. So far its 2-0 both games against a strong HE player who likes to field a horde of White Lions. I play ETC restrictions so he also got 100pts extra, it might also explain why I don't have 2 Ironblasters. Anyway, please let me know what you guys think.

So basically this list has a lot of power in each phase of the game. Powerful buffing magic, moderate to strong shooting (depending on what I'm facing) and heavy hitters in close combat. Usually I try to combo charge my Ironguts with the 6 Ogres for a combined affect. What my army lacks for in a few strong hitting units (though the MFC can really go to town), it makes up for with supporting units with the 3 chariots, the Gorgers and the smaller Ogre/Irongut units.

Some options that I am considering:
1) Dropping the Scraplaunchers for a Stonehorn/Thundertusk
2) Dropping the Scraplaunchers for a unit of 9 Ogres and moving my BSB here (I actually already did this one and it worked out pretty well).
3) Dropping the Scraplaunchers to beef up the Ironguts unit to 8 with command.
4) Dropping the 6 Ogres to beef up the Ironguts to 7 with command.

This may make it seem like I dislike the Scraplaunchers but on the contrary, they preformed very well on the table and I like being able to participate more in the shooting phase that I would otherwise without them. People shy away from the Scraplaunchers but I feel a pair of them is very hard, not sure how they would fare against something like WoC or other high T/good Armor armies.

Please let me know what you guys think about the list and those options (and any others that you suggest), thanks!

Triddion:
Grrrrr, inevitably with my posts I always remember something after I put something up.

One other thing I am considering is trying to find points for another caster, giving me variety with magic and possibly some more offensive magic/buffs. Im thinking a level 1 Firebelly or Butcher might be nice and wouldn't cost too much.

Let me know what you think.

One thing; if you face something like dwarfs you will lose your SM turn one. They just need to kill one Irongut for you to lose your look out sir.

Triddion:
Thanks for the reply!

Yeah I did notice that he is kind of vulnerable to War Machines, to get around that I usually deploy his unit behind my other ones to give him some cover. On a good bounce though, he can take me out. Haven't played against Dwarfs with this list (I play them not against them usually  :P )

What do you think about beefing up the Ironguts or any of the other options?

Seefood:
Drop the scraplaunchers to get more ironguts. You should get 9 within the ETC comp with FC and Ld banner.
I`d drop a unit of ogres, beef up the leadbelchers to 6. More damage! With lore of the maw you can buff them and they`ll fight well!
I feel your characters, atleast your BSB is alittle too weak. I always put him in second rank, but other tricksters shard wont work from there. I put 4+ ward on my SM and BSB always. Makes your heros stay alive and soak up wounds on your units!
Get another sabertusk
