I like the list. It looks fairly competitive if used properly. The Ironguts have the nice ability to work outside the generals influence. I am not convinced that units of 3 Ogres do very much, but ymmv. What is your plan for each unit tacticaly? That would help with critiquing.

I've never played with Ogres (and my book is packed ready for a move) so if i'm missing something obvious ignore me.
I'm guessing all your characters are going into the Gutstar?
Why 2 units of 2 Mournfang rather than a unit of 4. Is it for flexibility?

I think that 2 units of 2 is pretty optimum. They still put out ridiculous attacks and with 2, they will always get to use all their attacks. I've seen just 2 mournfang cause ridiculous carnage and destroy well over their points.
With 4 I think it's best to include that ridiculous magic banner the OK get. I've actually not seen a unit of 4 used without the Dragonhide banner.
It's much harder to avoid 2 units than 1 and with the unit of 4 people will try to avoid it as it's so potentially devastating.

I really like those mournfangs at 2. Good mobility and they appear less threatening than they are.
