 What miniatures do you use as Ogre Elites?
 The art work for them was very cool and Gub's one he was doing would have been great to have seen finished.

Sadly the Ogre Elites never saw the light of day, neither the Gubs in progress one or other versions.  Most people use the regular Ogre troopers or something reasonably big, like the Heresy Ogres or Cyclops; they don't have the right look, but when the game is on, the game is on.

I could give you a rough 1200 point force list for my Wolf Clan Dwarves without my book at hand:
Totem: 115
Keeper:98
Scavenger:72
6 Wolf Clan Axemen and Leader:282
5 Desert Wolf Warriors:225
Legion--Leader, Standard Bearer, 2 or 3 swordsmen, and 2 or 3 gauntlets plus standard: adjust points as needed.
Squad of 5 or 6 Vulture Crossbows. 

This isn't exact by any means, but it plays well enough and it's a blast. 

Anyone got some Blackblood lists they wanna share?

Andy:  if YOU can't convert this model into an Ogre Elite, I'm a degenerate Spyder monkey!

 I have seen that on TMP and I was just struck as to how much he look's like that guy from the Goonie's
 I sent Matt a message on his forum and he said the Ogre Elite was turned into something else for another company.
 Placed an order with Dark Slave miniatures for five of the miniatures they do including the awesome Leonadis miniature and the Dwarf Lord.
 They have three new miniatures coming out in a few weeks time.

He does look like that guy from "The Goonies"!!  Throw a veil over his face, chop the katar off, and voila, Ogre Elite.  I'm goin' over to Dark Slave right now to see if they have an English side to the website yet.  Ta for now.

They have some great Dwarves to use for the Wolf Clan Axemen and the Blood-Bone Hammerers.

The Spearmen with that Group Attack are just nasty, and combine any Goblin unit with one of your heavy hitting individuals, and you're good to go.


Oh man.  The group attack's awesome! So many fond memories of them taking my opponents hard troops!

 Just been upstairs going through my miniatures and I have found 4403 points worth of Blackbloods so far.This will give me a very flexible force I think.Just need some extra miniatures to fill units to the max.

I'm packin' a lot of models for the event.  I don't want anyone sitting on the sidelines for want of a Chronopia army.  Those Goblin Spearmen are the EE sculpts, but they're just primed black so far.  One day they'll have paint.  'Prolly after Bryon skewers my Dwarves on them and they earn their colors.
