25 point eMadrak Starting List

[Col_Festus]

So I decided to pick up eMadrak first my first caster outside of the battle box. I built this as a starter list and wanted to get some opinions on it. Here is what I put together for 25

eMadrak
Dire Troll Mauler
Axer
Rune Bearer
Full Fennblades + UA
Fell Caller Hero

So the only thing that worries me is that I don't have any ranged attacks really in the list and the battle group to be honest. I was thinking I might want to run a Bomber + Impaler instead of the Mauler + Axer. What do you guys think? This would be my first heavy war beast as well.

eMadrak
Dire Troll Mauler
Runebearer
Max Burrowers
Full Fennblades with UA
Fell Caller Hero

The lack of range is compensated for the fact that you will have burrowers on them instantly which will give your fennblades time to get up field. Hold the mauler back till late game to give your burrowers and fennblades time to blood fury away any big threats to it, then use it as a late game trump card.

Interesting. I was planning on putting Dygmies in for 35, but I never really thought about it at lower points. I guess I'd just have to be careful not to lose my mauler.
