Ok this is my first stab at a troll blood list. I have no idea what are the best synergies for this guy. I'm hoping to get a solid base to build on.

Grim Angus *6
Troll Impaler -5
Winter Troll -5
Dire Troll Bomber -10

14/15

Now this may not be the most cost effective way to spend my points but I was hoping to have the winter troll freeze some enemies and have the bomber blast'em. Also have the Impaler do some long range damage.

I've probably made some kind of major faux pas but that's why I'm posting, to find out!

C&C is much appreciated.

i would take a slag troll over a winter troll. the slag troll really shines against warjacks and adds to the ranged feel of grim angus. the impaler is a solid choice as is the bomber.

You have a point left. Which can always be used on some gobber bellows, pop some smoke to provide grim with some cover if you want.

At 15 points, I'd be looking at an Earthborn, Impaler and Axer for Grim.

Why?
Earthborn synergises well with Grim as it has pathfinder. However, the real trickyness comes from a combo.
Earthborn gets a movement boost from rough terrain. Rush gives a further movement boost. Grim's gun can give another movement boost against a specific target. Combine these three, and you get an Earthborn with a 14" charge. Very useful, very tough to counter for a lot of lists. Grim and the Impaler will also like Far Shot a lot, as it lets them sit back out of trouble. I think Grim isn't a "shooty" caster so much as a combined arms caster, but YMMV. The list you propose looks fine, too, but possibly a little light on heavy killing for 15 points. Bomber and Winter Troll are both better at killing units than heavies.

How about

Grim Angus *6
Earth Born Dire Troll -10
Impaler -5
Slag troll -6

The Earth Born for the combo as suggested, The Impaler and the Slag Troll for some heavy hitting and the possibility to use his animus to boost the EBDT for an even better assassination run and heavy hitting!

Slaggy is an okay replacement for the axer- you're losing a bit of speed but gaining some melee offense and a pretty good ranged attack vs warjacks and so on. Less useful vs. hordes but it depends on your local environment.

I find Rush as an animus so useful I have trouble building a list an not including it, but Slaggy is an acceptable replacement with an impaler there to give him some extra range.
