8th Ed. What to do VS ogres @ 1K

[hado75]

Hi guys,

I'm playing against a friend of mine 2night.
We are playing @1K within a campaign.

the rules state that the winner of the previous game cannot alter his list!
My latest game was a massacre VS Tomb king. So i have to play with this list:

Scar-Vet (general)
* charmed shield, Dawnstone, sword of might (or burning blade?), CO, LA

Skinks priest
* diadem of power
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------250 pts

20 SW
FC

10 skink skirmishers

10 Skink skirmishers

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------390 pts
5 chameleon skinks

5 chameleon skinks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------120 pts

1 x 2 Sallies (with extra snack)

1 x 1 Sallie (With extra snack
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------240 pts.

Obviously, this is not a list tailored around Ogres, but still i just have to make a run with it!

Can you guys give me some tips to handle Ogres?

My plan is to use my Chameleons to hamper his movement on 1 flank. (poison and potentially march blocking)
(The other side then his mornfangs will be....
So hopefully they can chip of some wounds and/or models before they reach my SW)

Sallies will be on the other flank, to burn some.
I know they are not great vs Ogres. So i'll have to use the as re-directors or something....

SV wil be in the centre....i figure he can hold it's ground alone if needed.
(1+ dawnstoned AS will be enough???)

Skinks will have to do what skinks do best... Poison and re-direct....Hopefully it will be enough.
(I wish i could drop some more of these guys on the table)

SW...hopefully they will see action when i wittled down his blocks.....

any pointers do's/dont's are more then welcome

What I would do is make sure that my chameleons can get to the Ironsky cannon that he will probably bring. That thing must die first!

Next, I would angle my skirmishers with my sallies to shoot with skirmishers first, then follow that with fire. That way, you can maybe cause a panic check. Skirmishers causing a few wounds and sallies finishing the models.

Concentrate your poison shots on his units from the sides. Do not let him charge you!
