More beasts. Your takeing alot of infantry, if your opponant is prepared they are going to die horribly and quickly. I'd cut it down to one unit then use those points to feild more beasts.

You're over on points.
I'd recommend including Mulg, cutting the Impalers by 1 and reconsidering your two
Fennblade units. The following is 30 points:
Type: Duel (1 caster, 35pts)
Points: 30
Chief Mardrak Ironhide (*6pts)
* Troll Axer (6pts)
* Troll Impaler (5pts)
* Mulg the Ancient (12pts)
Trollkin Fennblades (Leader and 9 Grunts) (8pts)
* Trollkin Fennblade Officer & Drummer (2pts)
Fell Caller Hero (3pts)
I don't have any experience with Madrak or fennblades.

The problem I see is that pMadrak going beast heavy is with his massive 5 focus, you're going to be running everything very hot, particularly with Mulg. Every successful pMadrak list I've played has been Champ/Fennblades, Axer, DTM/EBTM and the stone. FWIW, I'd really like the Pyre troll for his animus in there as well.

Competitive.
I hear Dygmies with proper support are in the Ultra Competitive section.
Fenn Blades are good as the front line.
In general, you want to attrition and have good support up and running.

This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.
Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

We got Dygmied once in a doubles match and I wanted to sock jack the guy (no matter how much I may have hated to say I admired it). Holy cripes that's annoying.

In the Privateer forums, there's a tactica called "the Burrownomicon", which is a Pyg Burrowers tactica.

@malfred
Do you know why in the burrownomicon he refers to pHoaluk as "not a real caster"? Am I missing something?

Hoarluk's abilities are something of a mishmash. He has upkeep spells and gets a
free upkeep per turn, but if he casts Purification he is eliminating his own upkeep
spells as well as the enemy's. In addition, people usually just run roughshod
over his feat, taking the chance and damage rolls in exchange for using their
abilities. Finally, you can't really rely on him to spell assassinate anything as he has
neither the fury nor the spell list to help him finish off anyone.
