Thoughts?

I'd be inclined to field more marauders... maybe drop the trolls and have 2 squads of 30 marauders instead.

Drop 1 knight as well and you can give them frenzy through the MoK, leaving you 16 points to play with. Maybe a champion in one of those marauder hordes, or upgrade the hounds with scaly skin on both units, or poisoned attacks on just 1.

Well the whole point of the list is so that I can field Trolls outside of my Orcs and Goblin list so basically they have to stay even though they are more expensive in this book by 10 points a model!

My thoughts are, I place the Warshrine and Marauders as centrally as possible thus forming my 'unshifting' flank I then place the rest of my army on one of the other flank.

My opponant is then faced with an entire flank overloaded with hard hitting and monstrous infantry that they then have to deal with, all with roughly 70% of their total force (in my experience people tend to deploy from flank inwards)

Throgg gives my Trolls, Hounds and Ogres leadership 8 and all are within range on my BSB and General for the all important re rolls.

The trolls once I start rolling regeneration (2 a turn) will start to get rolls on the eye of the gods table to get more and more nasty.

Hounds are screens and chaff hunters, I don't really see much point of upping them to posioned attacks or scaly skin as they're there to die and help my trolls and ogres get into the fray as unmolested as possible, while hopefully getting a couple of rolls on EOTG.

All in all I would need a battalion plus another box of Knights and swapping the WoC for Marauders and a nice rummage through my evergrowing bitz box.
