Core choices are always a good investment. For Ogres this means Bulls, Ironguts, Gnoblars and Trappers.

Chaos depends on what sort of army he is collecting:

Mortals: Warriors, Marauders, Knights, Chariots, Hounds, Horsemen.

Daemons: Bloodletters, Horrors, Daemonettes, Plaguebearers (amongst others, but these are probably the best choice to go for).

Beastmen: Beast Herds, Bestigor, Hounds.

What does he not have that he wants (and doesn't cost an inordinate amount of money :roll:

)? If all else fails, getting him daemons associated with his favorite god is usually a safe bet since they can be used interchangeably with 40k or fantasy, though CSM squads are also pretty neutral; you can never have too many CSMs (unlike CW and marauders, who you can have enough of).

We're talking GW here, everything costs an inordinate amount of money

@ dark-and-dreary: If he has no OK miniatures and plays 40k, why did you include OK in your question and not 40k? :roll:

Don't get any OK, or he'll have a few mini's from several armies yet not enough from one to field a force. I'm assuming you're both young and/or new, so a blister of Daemons sounds like a good idea as it is useable in either game system and does not cost as much as a boxed squad might.

We're so jaded these days.

Chaos hounds might be a good idea, they work in both systems (last time I checked) and you can keep them on the cavelry base. ANd they look cool.

in total he has enough for a 700 points OK army, around 5000 points of mortals and about 3000 points of beasts. both of us have been playing for around 5-6 years. i just ran out of ideas.
