So I'm trying to make an army of greenskins and it seems I have more than enough points to boot! I have 2 questions, is either gordrakk or a regular megaboss on maw krusha worth it? How many ironjawz units should I include minimum? Is it possible to include a small battalion of ironjawz and then support that battalion with some extra units? Namely, arachnarok spider and rock lobbas? Currently I am having troubles filling the battle line requirements. If it is possible to have a battalion of ironjawz with points leftover than that will help make gordrakk or regular boss much better and expand my battle line options.

Otherwise, I'll be stuck being cramped for points, a less than ideal maw krusha dude, and some...savage orcs?? Feels bad.

The MawKrusha models are both pretty good. I don't know how they fair against ranged units but they do work in combat.

I've played with both gordrakk and megaboss on maw crusha and found them both to be underwhelming. I'm also not the biggest fan of brutes who with 4" movement are getting nowhere fast. The best greenskins I've seen revolve around spider riders, savage orks and gitmob artillery

You are using the 'Rampaging Destroyers' Battle Trait? That gives you an additional D6 inches in the Hero phase and can be upped to D6+2 inches with the 'Ravager' Command Trait.

I do but it gives them an average of 3/4 if within 6" of a hero, not exactly reinventing the wheel especially given the speed of other greenskin units where this ability opens up the possibility of turn one charges

Take Ravager for the +2, I always take Ironfist Battalion for 2d6 +2 movement in the Hero phase which all but guarantees first turn charges where my Brutes just shred whatever th y come across. Ardboys with musician haven't failed to make it yet. Throw on Warchanter Buffs and Megaboss command and stuff just melts. I try to get the least amount of drops possible so I can dictate first turn. I'll then rip across the board and put on the Battleshock hurt before they have a chance to buff. This deletes massive units.

Gordrakk is great, even unsupported. He has no Mortal Wound protection though. This is where a Megaboss in Mawkrusha can shine with the Talisman of Protection. Use it to support a flank and take out key elite units.
