So having been unable to play for a few months now I've been trying to come up with new lists to incentivise myself to finish off my big plastic pile of shame (ie kitbash another Slaughermaster and 4 more Ironguts). 

Does this list have any merit? The idea would be that the Butcher sits center on his Balewind next to the Mawpot throwing out debuffs & Maw while the Slaughermasters support the Gluttons & Mournfang with the two units of Ironguts adding in bursts of damage where needed. There's obvious redundancy in the spell selection but I figured it would allow more opportunity for everything to be in range.

how easy is it to convert Ironguts from Mournfang pack orcs? The Ironguts kit isnt available atm so I wanna try to make do by using the 2 handed from the mournfangs and gluttons.

I used spare Mournfang heads as the base for cloaks and a butt load of Green Stuff but I think they turned out alright. The only parts that aren't from Mournfang riders or Gluttons are the banner bearers weapon (from a Troggoth) and the main trunk/skull of the banner (catapult from an Arachnarok kit). Oh and the Gutlord's cloak is from a Stonehorn.

I got a good deal on 3 Ironblaster Cannons (I'm using the ogors and rhinox bodies for Legion of Azgorh conversions but have Mournfang bodies to replace the rhinoxes).  Is there any decent Mawtribes army/subfaction/battalion combo to use 3 cannons in there?  I think I can get some Gluttons and/or Ironguts pretty cheap too if that helps.  I have a Bullgor heavy Beasts of Chaos army though, so maybe the footslogging Ogors is too redundant?  Perhaps the Mournfang heavy cavalry option could work?

Or I can make the Scraplaunchers if those are better?  Or I could just sell or trade them for Stormcast stuff for my Cities army; I'd like a unit of Evocators on Dracolines, unless the Ogors disagree!  Low model count is nice sometimes.

Hello fellow frostlords, butchers and tyrants. I have decided to make ogors my next project and I've painted up my first testmodel. 

I usually convert my armies alot so I like to check with the community if I have gone just a step too far on my more extreme projects... 

so here goes:

Would you accept this guy being fielded as an irongut(gonna run an 8 man unit of them)? Base size is correct and he is just as tall as a regular ogre. Any critique is also welcome.

I would because I like this japanese oni styled ogre 😊

But in a GW Store you could get any trouble with those guys I guest.

Yes, use Underguts with a tyrant with Gruesome Trophy Rack:

A list like this:

Running the numbers on Gorgers vs Frostsabres I'd really like to see the latter get a 20pt drop (bringing them to 60pts). They do slightly less damage than 3 kitties on average but at 60 they'd be a useful addition to any list which includes sabres but ends up with 20pts leftover.

Outside of that I can't see a reason to ever use a Gorger...

To be honest... even if cats were more expensive than Gorgers I'd still run cats due to the synergies with the hunter, how they fit into a skal and the potential screening you get from them.

Me too to be honest, it's just a shame to have a completely unusable Warscroll in our Tome xD

^^ yea... To be honest... I am surprised that it wasn't dropped and just left as a lore piece... it is not an amazing model either so I surely can't sell many copies.

I think the thundertusk warscroll is also ‘unusable’. Or at least it has no role. just like the gorger. 

make the gorger a deepstriking monster hunter for example. Extra damage Vs monsters, bonus to charge if you get into Base tot base with a monster etc. That way it has a role, even if it isn’t as useful as sabretusks then. At least it is better for a niche role. 
(as for the thundertusks just make it a horde killer. Make the horns 1 attack for every model wihin x inch and it would have a role as well.)

Doom and Darkness has been running a Monster Mash Boulderhead list with a Huskard on Thundertusk, it's a nice support piece but it's combat profile is such a let down compared to a Stonehorn. I think a point drop could make them viable just for their prayers, but yeah the Frostlord & Beastrider variants seem pretty worthless,

Even then. It must become so cheap for a support piece that only works on a 4+ unless you take multiple of them. 
it just lacks a distinct role. And seeing it’s current shooting attack is say make it work Vs hordes. Even if it only beats the stonehorn vs hordes it will have a place.

While i do agree it is abit miss placed.... Alvagr ancient can be quite game breaking if used right.

Can I get an opinion or two on how good or bad this list can be? I’m curious if I’m lacking anything or it will be able to hold its own. Thank you.
