Hey everyone, I am very new to this but want to get truly immersed into it but i need some help to give me a idea of how i should build/buy this army. I like the Beastclaw Raiders for the look and that its not very horde oriented and heavily hero based. I found the below build on a website and it looks pretty good but wanted a expert opinion on it and the other aspect would be i would love to somehow introduce a Butcher with cauldron in it as well to have a wizard. A 1000 point army would be fantastic if anyone has a very good one.

You may want to scale back the number of Thundertusks, they are tremendously powerful at all save the most competitive matchups and it is really unfun to play against more than 1-2. Or put simply; probably too strong.

When it comes to Beastclaw you can pretty much throw any combination together and it will work decently at the very least. Frostsabres are the only thing you only want to run a few of since their role is speed/harassment/objectives rather than being good in combat. You have the right idea with allying in a cauldron butcher.

If I might piggy on this thread as I have a thought/question about this sort of build.

This might be a tourney question as I'm not sure if this lineup would be too cheesy otherwise, but instead of dropping the amount of thundertusks, what about increasing them? Why not for example 4x Huskards on Thundertusks, each of them healing each other? Would something like that work/be OK at a tourney/be too tuff for a pick-up game?
