I used to play Khador and Cygnar until MK3, but they never "clicked" for me. I have had a hiatus since the start of mk3 because my friends moved away, but now i purchased the Trollblood gattlegroup box(mk3) on a whim because the models looked cool and wanted to get back to the game.
I know a Mauler and the krielstone are the essence of the faction but what other models/units do you recommend getting? My plan is to eventually expand to 75pts while learning the ropes by playing smaller point matches on the way, sticking to Ragnor for now because getting another warlock is a monetarily demanding process. Also, i have looked into PoD theme list and i am interested in making a beast heavy list (Ive grown tired of infantry swarms), but Id like to have SOME infantry just because most of the infantry models on trollbloods look amazing!
TL;DR: Started hordes after a long break, need guidance on which models I should purchase to eventually expand to 75pts.

You can check my guide in the stickies. It could give some inspiration perhaps

Here is a list that you can play using only models that you already have or will want to buy anyway: conflictchamber.com/#c7200O_-0bfL9D5-0h0j0ibL7d4k6R0l0mTrollbloods Army - 50 / 50 points [Theme] The Power of Dhunia (Ragnor 1) Ragnor Skysplitter, The Runemaster [+30] - Dire Troll Mauler [15] - Earthborn Dire Troll [15] - Troll Axer [10] - Troll Bouncer [9] - Troll Impaler [11] - Trollkin Runebearer [0(4)] Janissa Stonetide [0(4)] Lanyssa Ryssyl, Nyss Sorceress [4] Troll Whelps [4] Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes (max) [9] - Stone Scribe Elder [3] You can take the Earthborn and Lanyssa out to have 35 points or add Mulg to get pretty close to 75. While it is best to be thorough when learning a new warlock, they can often be among the cheapest models if you buy them used. Especially Madrak 1, as there is a bit of a glut of those models. The other casters whom I would recommend for newer players are Grim 1, Grissel 2, and Doomshaper 2, especially if you want to play lots of beasts.

Bomber comes after Mauler + KSB/Elder in my hierarchy of Troll goodness.
With Ragnor specifically, the Earthborn becomes an improved option because of his Pulverizer spell, allowing a fast/Pathfinder, P&S 21 option when Raged up. After CID the EBDT point cost could be less!
