For my last place at Squiggle tournament I was awarded the "Wooden Spoon" prize, a £10 pounds discount voucher at Gifts for Geeks. Its a bit ironic that I had purchased most of my Ogre Kingdoms army from Gifts for Geeks.All Khorne Daemons; With a Bloodthrister centre piece. The whole army painted in various red, orange and gold tones.
Wood Elves; Probably an autumnal theme with lots of oranges, yellows, reds and golds. But the standard green theme is also very appealing.
Bellowers (aka Musicians) in my mind are a must in any Ogre Kingdoms army. 
My Ogre Hunter died every game at the recent Squiggle Tournament, it was like hemorrhaging 235 points every game. It was kitted out with Beastkiller and Greyback Pelt. Beastkiller was a complete waste of points. My inability to use the Hunter effectively rendered the Greyback Pelt useless as well.Deathcheater; Once per Game. Forced to re-roll all successful rolls to wound (need to be in base contact).
Mastodon Armour; 5+ Armour Save. If killed not in close combat. 2+ restored on 1 wound.
Greyback Pelt; +1 to hit in close combat.
Spanglehard; Roll higher than "To Wound roll".
Gnoblar Thiefstone; Magic Resistance.
Talisman of Protection; 6+ Ward Save.
Toothcracker; +1 Toughness and Stubborn. Butcher takes a Strength 4 Hit.
Trollguts; Magic Resistance(2) and Rengeneration. Automatically takes a wound.
My Butchers Magic Phase is going to be about causing Panic. With a ranged Magic Missile Bound Spell, and two other ranged spells I have three attacking spells to force a Panic Test on the target unit or hopefully units.Bang Stick; Range 24". Bound Spell. Causes D6 Strength 4 Hits.
Bonecrusher; Range 18". Causes 2D6 Strength 2 Hits no armour save. Butcher takes a Strength 4 Hit.
Braingobbler; Range 18". Unit must take a Panic Test.
Bloodgruel; Butcher Regains a Wound on a 2+.
Toothcracker; +1 Toughness and Stubborn. Butcher takes a Strength 4 Hit.
Bullgorger; Butcher must pass a Strength Test. +1 Strength.
Trollguts; Magic Resistance(2) and Rengeneration. Automatically takes a wound.
Remember unit special rules. Stubborn, Causes Fear for example. I can recall a couple of moments during the Squiggle tournament where I forgot Maneaters are Stubborn and more distrurbingly forgot Ogres cause Fear.
Remember Musicians have +1 to rally. Again I can recall couple of moments during the Squiggle where I forgot this.
Have a plan or plans for each phase. The Magic Phase for example. The Butcher was completely wasted in some games due to poor deployment and movement causing him to be out of range.
Think of current tournament placing. All I needed to do was not lose by a massacre in the last game, and I would have avoided last place. I should have recognised the fast moving chariots and cavalry, two bolt throwers, two shooting unit and lots of magic. If I had deployed deep and hid out of line of sight then I might have avoided last place. Would have been a boring game though.
I have entered my second tournament "Immortal War II" being held in Sutton Coldfield and hosted by the Sutton Immortals gaming club on Saturday 21st November.
