1. Orb of Majesty: One failed General's order is ignored. The order is executed and the General can give further orders. One use only.
2. Sorcerer's Spells:
Boon of Chaos: 4+, unit they are with. +1 attack for each stand in the unit and the Sorcerer
Anger of the Gods: 4+, 30 cm. Lasts untill the end of the opponent's turn. All enemy units within range get an additional -1 command modifer (only once per unit)
The Rage of Chaos: 5+, 30cm. The attacks of a single friendly unit are increased by nD6 up to a maximum of one per stand in the unit for that turn. If any double is rolled the unit suffers the attacks itself.
Curse of Chaos: 5+ 30cm LOS. 3 shooting attacks ignoring armour.
3. Sword of Cleaving: Re-roll 1 attack dice in each round of combat
4. Sword of Destruction: One unit in contact must re-roll 1 successful armour roll each combat round.
5. Ogres: Must charge humans using initiative if possible.
This army gives a very strong infantry brigade, a hard hitting cavalry brigade and a swift-striking flying unit to take out artillery or cut retreats. With only 7 units, it has a low breakpoint of 4 (albeit almost all units have at least a 5+ save) but it only needs two leaders. I take a sorcerer because I like the opportunity to use magic. As an alternative, you can save 10 points and increase the command radius by taking a hero instead; this also will give you enough points to add a unit of chaos hounds if you forgo the magic swords.
