Considering starting trollbloods, I ordered up some gators and my wife has been dropping heavy hints she might want them and what am I gonna do? I have a wife somewhat interested in this hobby I'm not gonna put her off. So my 1st choice was trollbloods, wanted something more rare in gators but it's all good. So looking to start 25pts on the cheap looking at:

Chief Madrak Ironhide (*6pts)
* Troll Axer (6pts)
* Troll Impaler (5pts)
* Dire Troll Mauler (9pts)
Trollkin Fennblades (Leader and 5 Grunts) (5pts)
* Trollkin Fennblade Officer & Drummer (2pts)
Fell Caller Hero (3pts)

Leaves a point can grab some bellowers or a feralgiest, could also drop the Fennblade UA for a max unit of Fennblades. I know there are more competitive lists but this is a good foot in the door.

Why not open up the priveteer press gallery and ask her what she would like to model and paint herself. Girls tend to be more interested in that aspect of the hobby than rolling dice. And you'll want to not bore her with grey games, and she'll enjoy playing her models more after you guys spent Some time painting them together.

The list is cool tho

Thanks, sorry if I wasn't clear. She has been through the gallery after I had picked out the gator and being a fan of the voodoo/cajun/alligator thing she likes the gators so I am going to give them to her and I'll go for the trollbloods.

K,then too the list. Since nobody likes to help, I will.
Just some suggestions on synergy (you may have overlooked)
for that extra point you could upgrade the mauler to the earthborn, sure you loose the rage animus (which is awesome) but you gain his (which I can't remember the name) which will give a speed boost If near rough terrain, then the axers animus boosting speed even further, and the feat, these will be some fast moving trolls. Could even switch the hero for a chronicler which can give the fenns concelment and feign death (cause they die fast). And gives them a boost during combat.

If you want to keep the mauler, you could change the axer to an impaler. Which gves you snipe, giving madrak a 12" range on his thrown axe, and I am not sure if rage can stack or not with that (it's something to look into when I am home) bt if it does that would be (and I can't remeber madrak's spd) a 18"?threat range with str+pow 18 weapon. Which will be good for turns before it's safe for madrak's advance.

These don't even need to be changes, just suggestions on making your army bigger

Oops sorry, your madrak's feat doesn't grant speed, I wa thinking doomshaper. So you might want to really consider how your going to get the fenns where they need to be before they get picked off. *cough* chronicler
