Whelp, they finally made a gunline theme for Madrak. I'm hoping the free points and +1 to starting roll are enough to get his force multiplication to work.
Madrak Ironhide, Thornwood Chieftain - WB: +29
- Dire Troll Bomber - PC: 19 (Battlegroup Points Used: 19)
- Pyre Troll - PC: 9 (Battlegroup Points Used: 9)
War Wagon - PC: 17
War Wagon - PC: 17
Braylen Wanderheart, Trollkin Outlaw - PC: Free
Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes - Leader & 5 Grunts: 9
- Stone Scribe Elder - PC: 3
Northkin Fire Eaters - Leader, Trollkin Grunt, and Pyg Grunt: 7
Northkin Fire Eaters - Leader, Trollkin Grunt, and Pyg Grunt: 7
Trollkin Scouts - Leader & 5 Grunts: 10
Thumper Crew - Gunner & 2 Grunts: 5
Thumper Crew - Gunner & 2 Grunts: Free
Pummeler Crew - Gunner & 2 Grunts: Free
Total - 75/75
Basically it's an all out assassination gunline that tries to leverage his feat to do some real damage.

There is a 50\50 shot that fireeater's aren't in the theme, as they aren't listed as Trollkin or Pygs.

Is that how it is ruled or is it that they are both a pyg and a trollkin unit with a gun?

Well read the entry just under it for the Pyg Grunt, which says it's a Pyg. The lack of clarity comes from the fact that this is neither a Trollkin Unit nor a Pyg unit. The question then becomes whether units comprised of Pyg models AND Trollkin models meets the requirements as given or whether the term "models" is shorthand for solos.

Watched a game of a Madrack 1 list in theme face down Karachev and the Miserable Metal Mountain.
Madrack list: Militia theme
2 Bombers
Max Scattergunners with UA
2 Fire eaters
Min Burrowers
War Wagon
Fell caller
2 Thunpers
Karachev:
I think there were 7 or 8 jacks mostly juggies a clamjack and a couple kodiaks.
Basically jammed with Fire eaters and scatter gunners getting rest of the guns in position then used all the KD to assasinate Karachev on a Madrack Feat Turn boy was that cool to watch. All the Pow 16's just thumped down wind and Over some knocked down jacks. Theme defanitekey has legs for ranged assasination that's for sure!!

How does Karchev die to that? A POW 16 does 4 points of damage to him on average, and he can reduce that by 5 by spending a focus (and he is usually camping)...

Karachev was not camping much to my knowledge he needed to use his spray to clear up some jamming models and when you throw 12 pow 16's (4 of which are boosted plus madracks boosted axe twice it tends to get work done. I was playing a game on the table next to it and saw the back end of the assassination run. It really does work |

He was camping one and underestimated the range of the War Wagon with charge and then dual attack as well as my ability to knock down his screening Jacks. I knocked down two jacks he had blocking LOS and I did that with the thumpers. I knocked him down with the War Wagon's pow 16 and then hit him with four boosted pow 16s from the bombers and then a boosted pow 16 from Madrak's axe. That was enough to do it. I did roll high (I finished him off with Madrak and rolled trip sixes), but didn't feat. If I had needed to, I could have feated and that would have been three more pow 16s.
