Heavens Ogre Army List and Realm of Battle WiP

by | Jul 23, 2014


Its been a while since my last hobby blog post but work has been pretty mental and there is a lot going on it my personal life! What I have been working on is my realm of battleboard and my new army list. The board is coming along well and there isn't much left still to do (just some more flocking to make it look more realistic). I will do a full blog post on the board showing a stage by stage process :)

So the other thing I have been working on is my new 2400pt list. I have used the tyrant list a few times recently but it really wasn't getting my engine going and the lack of a decent magic phase just wasn't as fun! So I have resolved to try out different lvl 4 lores (beasts and heavens) to see how they work now that I have played a lot more games with ogres. Below is my prototype lvl4 heavens list which can easily be switched to a beasts lvl 4 if I want. You will notice the Rock Idol isn't on the list and that's because I am also practising for the Scottish Open in October which gives you a free scroll of binding/ally up to 200pts :) He is a daft choice but I love the model :D 

The main things I am looking at tweaking is the magic items on the lvl 4 to get a better balance, I am going off the crown of command but it is hard to argue with just how good it can be if it all goes wrong! The other things I am toying with swapping the crown of command for are Magic Res 3, the Armour of Silvered Steel, the power stone, the earthing rod and the tricksters helm.
