It essentially came with Rotwings, Warmongers and their character attachment and a chieftain.
I bought Anamag as well... Didn't know Golab was a thing.
Well anyways. I'm kind of lost as how to play in this theme heavy environment. I've been away from the game for a while.
I'm not sold on the Rotwings, but the Warmongers seem a lot more fun than in MKII.
Just wondering if anyone's tried to make these models work, and if they have any suggestions to tweak/modify things.

Anamag's + Blightbringer + Blighted Ogrun (any) + Hellmouths are good. This theme will get even better when they release the Chosen of Everblight (ogrum cavalry that they previewed a while back). With those as your core, you will have a hard time making a truly bad list.
The big sticking point for most people is the reluctance to buy Blightbringer. It's clear to me that this theme was balanced only with it in mind, so I think playing without it is a non-starter. Beyond that, like most themes it kind of writes itself. Max out on free points, fill in the rest with whatever you like after that.

I love the Warmongers, but they're really hard to make work without the Blightbringer.

I think pthags also looks good in this theme with 2-3 beasts instead of bb.

Sounds fun.
I think you want to pick up the solo caster attach rock carrier guy too.
Rise and the anti incorporal rules are really important.
Then chuck units in lists.
The box you have has Rotwings and warmongers and the UA?
Min Rotwings plus max warmongers gets you a free UA which sounds like a good start.
I'd add aax unit of warspears if you have them, with the UA for a free hellmouth or other solo.
That's 40 points spent, after that I'd go with whatever I liked - I think it would all be fun and work well enough.
