Helly ya'll!
I'm currently having a blast painting some Ogres of Nurgle as they are, atleast from the hobby perspective, a simply wonderful unit that allows for lots of conversion-work and plenty of characterful painting.
However gaming-wise I'm a little bit sceptical towards their viability. With that being said they seem like a fun unit to use. As such I was wondering how to best utilise them. With their low I in mind it seems like the best weapon choice for them is GWs and I'll definitly run them as Nurgle for both the theme's sake and how much it helps their mediocre WS. Should I run them as a faster hammer alternative to mainline Warriors in a unit of 8 or would they perhaps work better as a smaller flanking force of 4 models placed in two ranks? Pointwise it seems like a too expensive investment to try to maximise their Ogre Charge by going for a unit of 9 models in three ranks.
If the faster infantry substitute is the way to go are there some things I should never try to tackle headlong or some specific situations I should try to avoid?
