Second Sphere

Statistically speaking strength 4 is your best bet for trying to directly kill him if he has just a 2+ armour (So Ogres are the ideal unit for anti-Pendant duty due to the sheer number of attacks they can throw at him) but if he has a 1+ save then just throw as many attacks as you can at it. Something is bound to stick.

Another option is to use things that simply dont have a strength value. My terrorghiests make short work of Pegasus-Pendant builds by ignoring both the armour and the ward save, and you can always take a Death wizard and snipe his ass with Spirit Leach, The Caress of Laniph and especially The Fate of Bjuna. If you know your going to face one then it shouldn't be too much problem to get rid of him.

I'm planning on deploying the Ogre Bull units 4 wide with a spare so they have to cause 6 wounds before I lose a rank.
The only reason I'm deploying the Ironguts 3 wide is that with a Bruiser, Slaughtermaster and Unit Champion in the first rank, they cant attack the actual unit itself and must divide their attacks. This will limit a lot of the damage output they can do while not really affecting my own.

My reasoning for all the gear is that my meta is dominated by Vampires, Chaos and Lizardmen (I.E. shit that can actually take on an Ogre Lord Character)

Heya, I'm seriously thinking about starting Ogre Kingdoms as a second Fantasy army to my Vampire Counts, but I think I need some help working out the army because it works so differently from anything else I've ever played with. So, here is a list I've worked out, please tell me what you think.

A sound penetrated the massive doors of the Inquisitors dinning room where the two Adeptus Sororitas waited. It was distant, and at first unidentifiable. Then they heard it again and recognized it as the sound of a far off horn. Then the doors to the chamber where violently opened; and a cataclysm seemed to cascade inside.
It began with two cyber-cherubs flitting through the air; gilded horns in their tiny hands which they blew for all their worth while streaming banners trailed from stapled skin. As the pair flew high towards the ceiling, they where quickly followed by a host of black robed acolytes or servitors; too heavily augmented to tell. Some clutched parchment printing from internal augmetics while still others shouted doom and damnation from grill-mouths; waving skulls and relics before them. As the dozen or so creatures swept into the room, the passageway beyond was revealed; covered in a strange smoke. Tall, hooded and cloaked figures could barely be made out standing on the edges of the hallway, thuribles gently swinging from their hands. The figures moved forward in slow lockstep, a dull, chanted murmur emanating from them along with the intense incense smoke that began to coil outwards.
A boot of black powered armour stepped forward from the smoke just as the shadow of its owner became perceptible through the smoke. The figure swept forward, the grey mist coiling around him as if it where the hands of an intimate lover, or chains pulled tight against the great weight he pulled. He was an Astartes; that much was obvious. What power armour that could be seen from under the grey shroud he wore was a featureless black. His head was concealed by the large hood of the grey vestments, but the severed and preserved heads of three Tyranid Hive Tyrants hung from a chain at his side, their multi-hued chitin standing out against the Space Marine’s dreary attire. In his right hand was a power scythe of ancient providence, the smoke still clinging to its blade as if afraid to reveal the brilliant shine of its blade.
As the figure walked into the room, a second, equally large figure followed him. As he emerged from the cloying incense, it could be seen that he was another Astartes in power armour, though lacking the attire of his Chapter Master. His arms, legs and helmet where black as well, but his body and backpack where a mustard yellow as well as the crossed-scythe symbol emblazoned on his left shoulder.
The presence of the two marines dominated the enclosed room as their train pulled in tight around them, preventing the Astartes from nearing the table. The same servitor that had served the Sisters approached the group and endured the skull-shoving and doom-saying of the human entourage with a grace born of lobotomy and stubbornly ploughed between them to stand before the two and ask for their drink of choice. The Astartes both held out an open palm; abstaining for the moment.
As the Servitor shuffled away, the two Sisters of Battle could feel the gaze of the partially obscured space marines upon them. A deep rumble passed through the air, the smoke seeming to coil in on itself as it passed towards them. It took them both a moment to realize it was one of the two speaking.
“Sister Aouregan…” it said in a tone of some difference. Whether it was a greeting, or simply a statement could not be determined.

Chapter History
The Scythes of the Emperor (sometimes referred to as the Emperor's Scythes) was designated Space Marine Chapter 874, and was Founded approximately in the years 500 - 600.M41, making them one of the Imperium's relatively newest brotherhoods of Space Marines. Their gene-seed is speculated to have been drawn from the the Ultramarines. The Scythes established a Fortress-Monastery upon their homeworld of Sotha. From this base of operations, near the region of space known as the Damocles Gulf in the Segmentum Ultima, the Chapter took upon themselves the duty of policing and safeguarding many of the nearby mining and manufactorum settlements.

The Scythes' first Chapter Master was Thorcyra, an excellent strategic leader. He led the Scythes for several centuries until his death during the desperate flight of his Chapter from the jaws of Hive Fleet Kraken on their homeworld of Sotha. As the Chapter grew in strength, they expanded their policing actions around their homeworld of Sotha in the Eastern Fringes of the galaxy. After eradicating human and alien pirates from the nearby Imperial mining colonies, the Scythes moved on to counter several Ork migrations in the lower Segmentums of the Imperium. The Scythes served during the Damocles Gulf Crusade, and played a vital role in the capture of the world of Sy'l'kell from the Tau Empire.

Chapter Organisation
The few surviving Space Marines of the Scythes of the Emperor Chapter now navigate through space on board their last starship and mobile fortress-monastery, the battle barge called The Heart of Sotha. The Chapter is but a shadow of its former glory, but they are a hard and elite fighting force, and can be found fighting anywhere against the Tyranids within the Ultima Segmentum. The Chapter was forced to break with its past tradition and now operates with only 2 full companies. The survivors of Sotha were amalgamated to form one company referred to only as the "Battle Company," while all new recruits to the Chapter which the Scythes actively seek from any suitable worlds they pass (often in fact those worlds that they have saved from destruction by Tyranid splinter Hive Fleets), are now inducted into the Chapter's other company, the Scout Company.

Chapter Combat Doctrine
The Scythes have been forced to change their tactics due to the limited resources and manpower the Chapter now possesses. The Chapter generally organises small, mobile strike forces, which are capable of carrying out hit-and-run missions and are used to relying on only themselves during a fight. It is also not uncommon to see Chapter Master Thrasius take to the field of battle, due partly to the limited resources of his Chapter, but also because he is deeply driven to prove himself worthy of a command he does not feel he earned and to bring honor and glory to the Chapter once more. Due to devastating losses suffered at the hands of Hive Fleet Kraken during the withdrawal from Sotha, the Scythes of the Emperor have almost no suits of Terminator Armour left, nor any armoured vehicles larger than Rhinos or their variants. The Chapter tends to fight exclusively against the Tyranids (though they will of course engage any enemy of the Imperium of Man as any Space Marine Chapter would) and hate them more than any other force in the galaxy. Fully two-thirds of the Chapter are Second Tyrannic War veterans (the rest having been recruited following the destruction of Sotha), and the Chapter is also known to have killed more Tyranids per man than any other fighting force in the galaxy, including the Ultramarines. The Scythes of the Emperor are often the first Space Marines to respond to any distress call regarding an attack by Tyranids made within the Ultima Segmentum.

Frankly the reason I went with a Daemon Prince is simply because I already have a model for him .

The heralds have the Exalted Locus (+1 psychic power strength), not Exalted Rewards.

I think the points cost for your chaos space marine troop squads might be a bit off. If you take 10 of them with 2 plasma guns, rhino and a power axe they should be 220 points

I personally really dislike Obliterators, as they tend to be very points-inefficient for the firepower they put out.

I know that your really dont like the idea of taking marks because you are running a word bearer army, but if you put Mark of Khorne on 15/14 Raptors, give them 2 melta guns, an icon, and double lightning claws on the Champion, they will never do you wrong, with the re-roll to charge range and +2 attacks and +1 strength being AWESOME.
If you do take that, I would strongly advise you to mark your Lord to khorne and drop the fist and claw and instead take an Axe of Blind Rage. With that weapon he can rip just about anything a new one. 6+D6 Str 7 AP2 attacks on the charge is brutal.

Ahriman is 20 points less than that, and the Sorcerer had other things too. Mark of Tzeentch and A Scroll Of Magnus. Although I think I costed the Scroll at only 40 points by mistake.

The Scroll of Magnus is utterly worthless trash for a sorcerer. Its overly expensive, and the auto-hit it causes has a very real chance of wounding your 2 wound model. Besides, its random psychic power only MIGHT be useful.
The Burning Brand might be alright, but you have to trade in your bolt pistol when you buy it losing an attack. Normally that wouldn't be a great concern but Chaos Sorcerers are forced to accept and issue challenges like everyone else, so that extra attack is very important.

I agree that Ahrimans Warlord Trais is the best on availiable, but personally I dont rely on them or make a list with the use of that trait in mind.

I dont follow. If Ahriman's trait is guaranteed then you can rely on it and make a list with its use in mind.
Your going to get at least one unit that can infiltrate, so if you take ahirman build a unit that can take advantage of that. Odds are you'll get two, so make two.
