Time to dust off those big boys

The Ogre Kingdoms are back! It is time to start organizing my army that has been collecting dust (quite literally) on the shelf these last few years. I am waiting patiently for my army book and a few reinforcements to arrive later this week.

Here is my army that I haven't used since I dropped them at Brawler Bash II a few years ago. After every metal model exploded into many pieces, they are finally ready to see some action again. With the new list I plan on adding a Thundertusk. I think it will provide a nice centerpiece for the army and help support all my Ironguts. I also need to paint up a few command models to match as my list was made for 7th and MSU tactics. I am trying to use as many as of my older models as possible since I never have time to paint.

My list I have painted is:

Tyrant, I might drop him down to a Bruiser. I ordered the new Golgfag model to act as a Tyrant. Looking at Armor of Silvered Steel (2+ AS), AHW, and Talisman of Protection (4++) or I might just go offensive. Nit sure yet and I need to see the book.
2 Butchers (Gut Maw and Heavens) I am really liking Lore of Heavens lately. All those re-rolls have been helping my WoC, and might help out the poor WS of the Ogres.
I have 4 butcher models altogether but I find that too many wizards means not enough PD to go around.

Bruiser, BSB possibly Draginhide Banner or just make him tough to kill with the 2+ armor.

2 Units of 9 Ironguts w/FC (need to paint command) One with +1 Ld banner or the Strider one.
1 Unit of 9 Bulls w/FC (need to paint champion)
1 unit of 30 Gnoblar Hunters

2x3 Leadbelchers or maybe 1x6. Not sure yet. I would like 2x4 units, and I might just paint up 2 quick unit fillers of stacked powderkegs or something similar.

2 Gorgers, these might be left out as they are now too expensive

1x2 ManEaters with Scout and Swiftstride. I might model a few "commando" looking ME's using a bunch of WE leaves and "Conan the Barbarian" camo paint design.

1 Thundertusk. Waiting to paint up this beast when it arrives.

Adios and sorry for the long update.
