Personally I don't find that much use for the bouncer here. I'd much prefer to run some higher damage beasts instead - your real threat in this list is the Mauler, who is great but can use a little support. The blitzer and bouncer are good support models that can start making your way in at 35/50, and the fenblades have potential (and are obviously cheap $$ wise) but lack a little killing potential against high def armies like Circle.
In 25 points you can get all the basics of Doomshaper's Beast Brick in, which is probably what you'll head towards at 35/50pts:
eDoomshaper (-6)
Mauler (9)
Earthborn (10)
Janissa (3)
Min Fennblades (5)
Min Krielstone (3)
Stone Scribe Elder (1)
This gives big, fast beatsticks that can hide behind a wall/krielstone for 14/22 on defense as you advance.
Notice that Doomshaper can goad his beasts, which means that even the 0.5" melee range can get you to quite a lot of targets if you really want and then Refuge out back to your wall again!
Alternatively you can go for Doomshaper's good friend Mulg
eDoomshaper (-6)
Mauler (9)
Mulg (12)
Max Fennblades (8)
Stone Scribe Chronicler (2) (or Fenn UA)
Mulg is fantastic. With a little help from an EBDT or Axer, feat + damaged, he has 7 P/S 19 attacks at 16" threat range. You'll definitely want him as you go forward with Trolls as he goes well with most Warlocks.
Make sure you know what you're doing with the Fennblades. They're not really killy enough on their own without some buffs - whether that's a UA, Felcaller or Chronicler. However they do make great tarpits to keep some annoying units in combat and away from your big hitters.
