I would switch the knights and the rooks, rooks are meant to be slow but powerfull whereas knights are meant to be very manueverable... perhaps a better list would be

King - Ghazghkull
Queen - Old Zogwort
Bishop - Zagstruk and Snikrot
Knight - Stormboys (manuverable)
Rook - Nob Bikers (only moves in a straight line)
Pawns - Boyz

Sorry to pee on your parade but your Catachans will need two Marbos (bishops), and the universe cannot hold that much awesomeness.

Weird thing is, I was playing chess against my lil bro yesterday, and Insidde I thought 'Maybe incorporate chess into the Rok of Ages campaign?'

"And what are the achievements of your fragile Imperium? It is a corpse rotting slowly from within while maggots writhe in its belly. It was built with the toil of heroes and giants, and now it is inhabited by frightened weaklings to whom the glories of those times are half-forgotten legends."

Sometimes I'd rather play chess with these models than the normal game. Queens can't make cover saves behind a pawn if my knight is in position to kill her >_<
