Just starting out this might be a bit much for my 4th game. What do you guys think?

I would cut down to just the Behemoth, mostly because Butcher is so focus hungry. To replace the Destroyer I would invest in a drakhun for that speed and in your face that butcher likes to be. The final points I would get widowmakers to stop those high def models that have single wounds.

In my experience, pButcher has always done really well with large quantities of infantry. the Iron Fange Pikemen come to mind. More models in your army means more models gaining the bonus from butcher's feat. I have run a list with the Winterguard deathstar AND a full unit of IFPs + UA and it always seems to work very well. IFPs can cover a ton of ground with their UA; you get to double move and then shieldwall after so they can easily tie up squads of ranged units from 14" away. Add in butcher's iron flesh and you have a squad that is both hard to hit and hard to damage, right in the enemy's face. Toss Fury on them next turn and add in butcher's feat and they will take out everything they can get their hands on. Behemoth and Destroyer dont fit with butcher that well - you dont really want to sit back and shoot with him since he really needs to be in the fight with the rest of his army. You need jacks that can get in the way of your enemy's heavy hitters and take their hits so that the butcher can work his magic. IMHO, drop both jacks and add a jugg, then take a full squad of IFPs + UA. Also - What is the purpose of having reinholdt? For Khador, our wardogs are almost always more valuable since they provide several good buffs.

Drakhun, IFPS, greatbears, kayazy assassins. Those work really well with butcher.

This is what I run at 35pts with pButcher. Its fun and hits hard. I use the Kodiak because its very focus efficient and his special action is a two handed though which works wonders for knocking down casters. Great Bears are there to take out heavies and WGDS does what it does and stops up the works. Doomies draw fire and no one really wants to have to deal with 2 manhunters and Yuri flying up a flank.
