First thing, the list above looks pretty good. He's maybe not ideal, but knocking things down is great support for the troops. I'd argue that Fennblades deserve serious consideration, I know a number of people that think they are some of the best light infantry in the game. Make sure to get the officer, but the kithkar is optional.

As for the Madraks, number one is the best for heavy infantry (double champs, Skaldi, and a sorcerer may make people cry) and survival, number two turns melee damage output up to 11, and number three... doesn't need a krielstone. Number three is solid, but not nearly as awesome as the other two.

Despite people calling him a beast caster Ragnor ends up being running our infantry pretty well. Our heavy infantry can be insanely difficult to kill and his spell list is such a solid toolbox that it supports either a beast brick or infantry. I do find that you need to have some really strong threat ranges to stop your opponent from simply baiting your feat out and sitting back so either Fennblades or Long Riders would make a nice addition. Alternatively Kriel warriors are pretty fun to run into peoples faces and chuckle as they try to dislodge arm 21 KW's with 1 less damage die.

minimizing your purchase I might try something like this

Thanks for all the answers. These are valuable advice.

I think it's pointless to do another thread for this, I'm gonna ask here. Other thing that just crossed my mind that since I already own the brawler and the basher, a SoTN list is also an option, and I gathered this list:

Ragnor
Runebearer
Brawler
Mauler
Basher
Axer

Valka Curseborn
Shaman
Lanyssa Ryssyl
Whelps
Bear handlers + bears
Fire eaters
Raiders(max)
Krielstone(max) + normal elder

My plan would be to run this list and slowly develop it (replacing the normal elder with the northkin one and a beast for a unit of champions or pyg lookouts etc.). Do you think this would be a viable list for now? My worry is that it has a little too much beasts maybe.
