Maelok and Carver 35p for SR2012

[Arlaharen]

It looks like I'll be rocking minions for the majority of the 2012 tourney season so I've been thinking about what to bring I play mostly gators but have started looking into farrow as of late in the hopes of getting a more balanced pair of lists. What I've got so far:

Maelok (Blindwater)
^Ironback Spitter
^Bull Snapper
^Bull Snapper
Posse max
Posse max
Thrullg
Thrullg
Totem Hunter
35/35

Reinforcements:
Posse min
Feralgeist
7/7

My "main" list. I'm an attrition player at heart so Maelok really suits my playstyle and I've been doing pretty well with the guy. My biggest problem with this list is probably pretty much everything Protectorate (Harbinger especially), lots of high armor stuff in general (Saeryn, beast heavy Trollbloods), remove from play effects and everything that messes with my armor buffs. To even this out I went with Lord Carver for my other list:

Lord Carver (Thornfall Alliance)
^War Hog
^War Hog
^War Hog
Brigands max
Slaughterhousers
Gudrun
35/35

Reinforcements:
Gun Boar
Targ
7/7

I've never played this list so it's only theorymachine right now. I thought about doing his T4 first (3*War Hog, Rorsch&Brine, 2*min Brigands) but I think I like this list better. The AD on everything non-battle group is pretty sexy and I can spend the points from R&B on more infantry to protect my War Hogs. Gudrun is a little shaky in the list but I want to try him out and see how he performs. I did think about downgrading the Brigands to a minimum unit and switching Gudrun out for another unit of Slaughterhousers. The list is decently fast and can bog down the enemy with tough/Quagmire in scenario play, doesn't rely very much on upkeeps and packs a lot of punch to offset the weaknesses of the Maelok list.

Thoughts?

I like the Wrastler with Maelok for the extra range on incorporeal gators, but I play him like an assassination castor. Depending on your meta and how you play, I'm not sure it would be worth dropping the Thrullgs. List looks good.

Thanks for the feedback, I would prefer a Wrastler with Maelok but that would leave me with only two points left in the list which I find hard to fill with something useful. I've never had much success with Croaks so I try use my beasts for some wiggle room pointwise.

I'm warming up to the Thrullgs. Not totally convinced about them yet but they usually pull their weight and they've had a few games where they were absolutely critical for the win.

Ive always got a hard time not having a second heavy in Blindwater lists. Might be my spitter addiction.

The lists cover each other pretty well. Maelok kills troop heavy lists and can make interesting assasinations. Carver crushes everything else.
