I have a couple of games tomorrow both against DE. Here is the list.
My thoughts are to stay back and kill what I can with shooting. If they want to win, they will have to fight on my terms. If I'm clever enough to work out what is clever, that is. You can't put a tail in every plan and call it a fox, sometimes it's a goose. To avoid Magic, which is normally a short range affair, even magic missiles are on an average 18" range. Along with other nefarious spells. So IMO the best way to avoid being hurt by magic is to not be in range, either that or eat the mage. Burrph, they do taste like chicken as well. But with a garlic sauce.

So that was my first game with the "Big Game Hunters". I lost, yes Chris you won. Oh the humiliation . The paint job on them and the age shows, I'm looking to get something a bit newer. Like not vintage late 1980"s. You know your getting on, when you have movement trays older then your opponents. Seriously. I am not kidding you. Yes just because we didn't have "mobile" phones back then, doesn't mean we didn't have movement trays OK. Anyways I have more to say and tactical concepts to employ. Basically I've looked at a few of the lists that won recent tournaments and things you may face in the future. Like the Dwarf/WE 5-10 unit strong MSU spam. Also some list alterations I have in mind which Ogres will need vs the double dragon, double Necro sphinx type lists. Or the screaming vampires of doom. While the Ogre are a bit dicey game wise. (dicey = by which I mean they don't have a lot of static combat, and rely on good dice rolls to win combat.) I think a Wood Elf type avoidance list for Ogres will work, well at least you'll have a lot of fun playing IMO. So That's is for now I'll be back with some intelligent thoughts. Put a tail on it and call it a fox folks.

Game Two Sadly vs Chris as my other opponent bailed on me. Sorry Chris, I don't mean that way, but please God can someone else give me a game. As you may note said the hunters weren't that effective at games end, which I say, check the deployment and how Chris has cunningly hidden his dragon behind a forest. Cough, cough, arrh ... no Chris, no effect at all were those hunters armed with Dragon killing Harpoons what so ever.

I've changed up the list and will again after this battle. More on that later. Check out Fanatics here where they go through some of the crazy list designs winning games, about hour 1:36 minutes into the podcast. Check out Woehammer site where lists for tournaments are posted. Who won, lost who played who etc.. I'll post thoughts up and how to beat these sorts, well try to win vs these sorts anyways.

A couple of turns later and Dragon boy has come out to play. At this point we are peppering the cauldron with shots from the hunters and managed a few wounds. The trappers are hilarious, luring our hysterical witches off on a wild goose chase. You have to really manage frenzy. I believe that so long as you cannot charge due to another of "your" unit's interposed somehow, your safe from having to charge. I just love it that I have the tools to dance around, be a threat to a 500pts + model. Unlike the other game I was a tad more careful. The goal is to win and all you have to do is lose less then the opponent, so remember that, and play like a Wood Elf.

So a couple of turns later and the dragon is trying to get into combat. I'm pretty sure I cheated Chris out of the dragon going into the iron guts by the cauldron. it's fine he owes me one anyway . Yeah again just have to think, dragons can fly, over your own units. There is nothing really tactical here, except the following statement "Dragons are a Pain" and will get into combat. Now here you have the general, and Ogre Bulls unit directly in front of the Dragon, Cauldron. Yet the bulls escape. How. I didn't take a photo, so you'll never know will you.

Dang! I did, I did take a photo, you lucky bastards. So I angled/wheeled the bulls so they passed the cauldron, clipped the witches and closed the door. I didn't want to fight the cauldron, oh no those things are nasty. This left the dragon limp and without purpose, it's a sad story of a loner being pinged by the barbs of hunters. Not that those barbs were doing much, except bounce of well made saves. Well done Chris, you roll well. Did I mention Dragons are a pain, they have 9 wounds they do. It's not fair, really. What do you mean Chaos dragons have 10 wounds. Anyway the battle went on and the Ion guts who cunningly argued their way out of being charge by the dragon had the upper hand. Cheating bastards. Whilst the more honest Iron folk, on the left, where having it handed to them. The Witches were being given a good fisting in the centre, and Ogre fists are BIG. No more hysteria, and soon enough, no more witches. Just a warm wet patch, and a happy ending for the Ogres.
