Ok, so the general idea with this list is to have as many Leadbelchers as possible to take advantage of the underguts tribe (Improve rend characteristic of Leadbelchers ranged attacks, as well as the ranged attacks of the artillery cannon thing). To that end, 24 Leadbelchers (3 units, each reinforced once). While I do own a cannon, it's not game ready, so I'm working with what's currently assembled, and am aware that this is very much a gimmick list.

So, my Leadbelchers shoot things. The Tyrants move up, with both Tyrants having a unit of Ironguts with them (The Ironguts have an ability to take wounds in place of a nearby Tyrant). The Butcher stays with the pot to gain the spell casting benefit and such. So, not much melee, but plenty of shots being fired.


Tyrant one has 2 big names due to his command trait (Killer Reputation). The first one (Fateseeker) improves his save characteristic, while the other (Deathcheater) gives him a 5+ ward. I'm hoping this makes him tanky. He has Splatter-Cleaver as his artifact, which allows him to heal himself and other nearby Ogors when he kills a model (It replaces his hammer).

Tyrant two has Longstrider as his big name. It adds 2" to his movement characteristic. He has the Amulet of Destiny (6+ ward) as his artifact.

Butcher (He's a minor kitbash, as the official model is both finecast and a bit ugly) has Greasy Deluge as his spell. It makes him pick an enemy, and they get -1 to hit on attacks they make until my next hero phase.



And that's about it. They aren't fully painted yet, but I hope to get that done in the coming weeks.

Looks glorious. Welcome to Estalia gentlemen!

So, I've played two games with this list now, and had fun.


However, a facebook group I'm in said that the list is "oppressive". I'd rather not ruin anyone's fun by bringing in a list that is really strong or whatever. So, I turn to you, the fine folks that end up seeing this post, for guidance. What should I do to tone down the list? I have plenty of Gluttons I can build I suppose, and can buy other things if needed.

Doesn't look like an oppressive list at all.

[mrmanstory]

When the book came out the oppressive build was ledbelchers, cannons and gnoblars. This just having the leadbelchers shouldn’t be super oppressive.

I didn't find it too bad playing against it. I lost as well for the record.

The sheer amount of cannon ogors is a bit concerning at first glance but playing against it I never felt like there was a point where I had just lost at the list building stage.

I guess I overreacted to the Facebook comment. I get paranoid, and don't want people to think that I'm "that guy". Thanks everyone. 🙂

So, with the points changes, I went down 120 points. Incidentally, a unit of 20 Gnoblars is 120 points. So, yeah, exact same list, but with added Gnoblars, hahaha.

I don't expect them to actually do much seeing as how they are complete garbage, but they can act as a screen to protect my leadbelchers from charges.

Best part, I didn't even have to buy a box of Gnoblars. There is usually 2 per Ogor sprue, as well as some on the weapon sprues for Leadbelchers and Ironguts. I also have some of the big Ironblaster cannons. They can be built as a Gnoblar catapult of some kind, so I was able to grab a few Gnoblars left over from that sprue.

All in all, I have ten Gnoblars with unique poses, five of a specific pose, and another 5 or a different pose.
