I am no ogre player, but I will still try to comment on your list as I see it.

the characters look good, simple, and you managed to restrain yourself into having one or two more characters in there so well done. You might want to get some gnobalr thiefstones in there somewhere as the magic resistance is pretty weak, because VP have quite annoying magic.

I hear that leadbelchers are best in twos but I have no way of proving it, so whatever works best for you. ;)

Here is my main problem, this unit takes up almost a quarter of your army, and I am assuming a character is going in here as well, bringing it way over that mark. The way I see it, It won't be very effective, it's going to get the snot shot out of it, and thus, loosing your rank bonus, should you choose to form up that way. Also, only a very small proportion will get to attack. I'd take it down to a unit od=f six max, with four in the front row with your character, two behind so casualties don't affect the attacks, and you still have to kill more than one for a test. This also gives you more points to play with. :D

With spare points upgrade the second unit for another bellower, and if you have more soare oints, get some additional hand weapons in there.

Drop the champion, the gnoblar isn't going to do much, and you could have got another gnoblar (or more) for the same cost. It wouldn't hurt bulking this unit up a bit as well. :)

well those are my thoughts, take 'em or leave 'em.

i believe omids advise so far is pretty good so i would take that.

i beilieve by screening people mean screen your units with weaker units, i.e. make a long single raqnk across you lines so if the enemy gets first turn they have to shoot at the gnoblars which are in the way.

the main problem with this is they outnumber your ogres so will cause panic tests on multiple units ;)
