Hey everybody,
I'm facing High Elves with my Ogres. I'm expecting lots of horsies and a Frozen Chicken. Probably a chicken noble as well. Also a Teclis/lvl4 archmage in a Banner of the Broken Dragon unit full of Phoenix guards.
How about this for a counter army?
Lords
Slaughtermaster (Glittering scales,Fencers blades,Other tricksters shard, Dispel scroll)
Heroes
Bruiser (Heavy weapon, Heavy armour, Ironfist, BSB, Banner of Discipline)
Core
12 Ogres (Ironfist, Mus, SB)
3 Ogres (Ironfist,Mus)
46 Gnoblars
Special
5 Leadbelchers
5 Maneaters (Sniper, Poison,brace of ogre pistols, heavy armour)
4 Mournfang Cavalry (Dragonhide banner, Mus, SB, heavy armour, Ironfists)
Sabertusk Pack

Rare
Ironblaster
Thundertusk

Hmmm... It seems like you will be facing a tough High Elf list given what you have posted. I'm assuming this is using End Times 50% limit for lords? Teclis and the Archmage are so many points it may be worth trying to sneak a hell heart close to them. A mega unit with the BOTWD is no fun..... well it can be but generally is annoying to face. Strategy wise depending on deployment you basically have 2 options to try and win the game. Either devote everything to try and kill his mega unit with Teclis and Archmage in it or devote NOTHING to trying to kill it and instead try and ignore it (sabretusk block etc) and kill everything else. Magic wise you are well out gunned.... I'm wondering what your plan is for the mega 46 gnoblar unit? Is it only 5 wide with heaps of ranks for steadfast to eat up time? Or are you going for some gnoblar horde craziness  If you get first turn you could well take out the phoenix. If your opponent isn't smart with his deployment it is worth going for an early game snipe on Teclis with the Maneaters... so consider swapping poison for scout to go with sniper. Poison will be great for the phoenixes but sniper not so much. I definately hope you win this one! Poncy high elves. |

It's Teclis or a lvl4 actually. No End Of Times
The Goblar are there to screen my maneaters.
If was thinking of sniping either Teclis or the BSB with the Banner.
If he decides to bring a Loremaster, that's a target too.
I hope the Thundertusk can kill some from a distance and help others in close combat.
The hellheart is cool but in this list I only have one magic user so I'm giving him the scroll.
As has been stated elsewhere, no-one in my meta has ever beaten high elves (we're only 2 players :-) ) so this should be fun

Let us know how you do against the pesky elves. The thundertusk is actually a decent matchup against Phoenix guard due to high toughness and the Thunderstomp. Goodluck! |

Since the frost chicken flies he can choose his match up. So unless he has a strong combo charge where he has an advantage he probably won't charge the frost chicken into Ironguts. I think your best bet is to cannon ball it. But I do think the above list has the potential to do well.

Elves for breakfast, lunch and dinnerVictory for the Ogres (their first ) My opponent had a Frosty, High magic Arch mage in a White Lion bunker, High magic L2 mage in Silver Helm bus, another Silver Helm bus and a unit of 21 Dragon princes without characters. No shooting in an elf list is quite unique and asks for some aggressive charging to make all those lances work. The man of the matchThe Slaughtermaster! I have heard some good things about this chubby fellow and they are all true. He healed himself nine times and his WS10 really saved the day in challenges. I don't think I have ever gotten this many spells through, he needed to stop all of them (+1 S, 4+ ward save, Magic missile which ignores armour saves, Stubborn for my gutstar) The tacticsI used my Thundertusk to fire at his Helms and Frosty, his aura helped my gutstar. The ironblaster fired at the Frosty and never blew up Stubborn gutstar with high strength attacks killed his precious princes. Leadbelchers that blow away very expensive elf units from a distance. The forsaken onesMy mournfang cavalry never got in combat. It took them 3 turns to get near his army and when they got there, they ran away at the first sign of trouble. Maneaters and poison snipe attacks don't work for me. I hit his Eleven archmage 4 times but he kept healing himself. When they got in close combat, I wiped out his unit. So perhaps poison and swiftstride next time? It was fun and finally a victory for the Ogres! My mate is jealous and wants to try them out too. So I'll be taking my Skaven to take on the Ogres next month...we'll see

Huzzah! Victory to the fatties!
I guess Ogres maybe consider eating elves akin to 'going on a diet'?
Did you wipe out all 3 of his combat blocks?
Great to read you finally got one over on those pansy elves

Hmm,
I leadbelched one helm unit
Irongutted the princes
And maneatered the white lions
Oh, his second silver helm unit killed my thundertusk but ran away after that.
Lots of failed panic tests actually (my mournfangs, his helms)
