General Bruiser goes with the Ironguts in a 4x2, BSB and Butcher with the bulls in 3x3.

I know there is no dispel scroll but the plan is use the maneater sniping scouts and the death SM to negate their magic in other ways.

Our local tournament players tend to prefer to have a few huge hordes in their armies so I'm going with 2 trapper units to go stand in front of those hordes to make them have to charge the trappers and take tons of dangerous terrain tests.  I think those paired with a Purple Sun template running down the flank should put a huge dent in those big units so the Ogre units can mop up.

The magic items on the bruisers are just to get some additonal protection from Ethereal units which I am going to guess I'll be seeing since the Vampire Counts are the current flavor of the week.

I also makes me glad to know that I need to do something to get this army prepped for Saturday.  Any time I don't have some last minute painting to do, I feel nervous for some reason.  It's only making a 3x3 and 2 5x2 movement trays, but it's something damnit.
