Hello all! I am looking to get some feedback on a possible tournament list I with been playing around with on paper. I hoping to get my first practice game with it this Sunday.

Ax Horde with Dwarven Ale
-Krudger on Winged Slasher with Ensorcelled Armour
-Giant
-Skulk Troop
-Skulk Troop
-Skulk Troop

Gore Rider Regiment with Maccwar's Potion of the Caterpillar
-Flagger

-Flagger

Morax Regiment
-War Drum

-War Drum

Goblins:
Spitter Horde
-Wiz
-War-Trombone

Spitter Horde
-Wiz
-War-Trombone

So the plan is to have the Axes be my central anchor with support from the Moraxes. The Gore Riders will either be on either flank or I might place them together depending on what army I am facing. The war-trombones are my chaff cleares or Drakon deterrant if I face a heavy flying list.

What do you folks think?

Different than what I would do, but looks good.

Depending on the positions of the Gore Riders, you might only need a single Flagger for both units - which would free up a Flagger to bolster either the Ax or Morax. (Putting the Krudger with the Gore Riders also works.)

I have not yet faced the fury of a War Trombone, but with overlapping fields of fire, two would definitely make me hesitate to bring any flyers in range.

If you had the points, I might suggest a Godspeaker - in some ways the most effective spell caster outside of named characters and necromancers. (Only one Horde though, so not as big a bonus as the last time I faced a Godspeaker... who became Target #1 for that battle, let me tell you. (Given the Inspiring Talisman, and Julie placed her Godspeaker to be bolstered by two units, then used Bane Chant to bolster them in turn.)

The Auld Grump

Before I adding in the goblin allies, I had a list with 2 godspeakers, one with inspire and one woth the fireheart amulet. That list had an ax horde, a greatax horde, 2 orcling hordes and a troll horde. I just don't have the points in this list without cutting into my chaff. However Godspeakers can be a lot of fun!

They messed me up big time, I can tell you that! (One of those games, where the two armies almost annihilate each other - it ended in a draw, but favoring the orcs.)

Julie runs a Horde heavy army, adding two (and a couple of times three) to most of her spells made them really nasty.

She even managed to chew up my Zombie Legion with her Ax Horde.

The Auld Grump

If I had the extra 65 points, I would definitely swap out a flagger for one with bane chant and the talisman of inspiration
