Long Riders will do a lot of work on feat turn. Has anyone had any experience with Bashers under Madrak2? With their animus up they become MAT8 POW14 which seems decent on feat turn. Night trolls with Primal also seem legit. Mat 8, P+S 14, Attractor + warpath + Overtake Seems decent but I think it's only fair to note that Primal will expire once the Night Troll uses Attractor.

Since I had some problem to deal with cryx, I decided to build a madrak2 list to deal with it. And oh BOY did it work well.
Going to band of heroes to avoid the problem of tough and and some RFP (cryx still have some recursion). Also fennblades with madrak2 are stupidly good. The feat deals with the banes super effectively, blood fury deals with the jacks. Normal max stone is here to deal with incorporeal. The only problem is that I never tried it against satixys spam. The feat should still make it scary.

If you're taking Horthol, impact attacks with additional dice should also work quite nicely

What do you guys think about Horthol? I'm currently considering dropping to a min unit with Horthol instead of a max unit without him.
He's more boxes than 2 longriders and brings the elite cadre and MAT 8 with a POW 15 weapon.
I'm mostly thinking about running him with Madrak2 so that POW 15 is pretty relevant.

Pow 17 under the NK Elder! He’s not too bad. But he’s a bit expensive for what he brings. Compare him to the champion of the wallfor Exemplar.

I think there are good arguments for either and it comes down to personal preference. I don't think he's quite worth it for 8 points, as you do lose a body while the boosted impacts aren't too relevant when you're MAT 9 already. On the other hand, sometimes you miss an unboosted 4 or 5 which is sad if you're trying to charge something in the back lines. And that surfing MAT 10, POW 15/16/17 weapon master is quite sexy.

I like Horthol a lot and I will run him even without Long Riders every now and then. He's a quite capable combatant in his own right, especially in scenario play. The first time I played him in Mk3 he squished Eiryss like a bug right off the bat. My one gripe with Horthol is that he does not count toward freebies in either Storm of the North or Band of Heroes. In Band he originally did. I guess that's no worse than going over your warbeast points than 8 points. Here's a list: conflictchamber.com/#c7201b_-0G5a0rjojq6G6Tj20li-ezeziTbK6mTrollbloods Army - 75 / 75 points [Theme] Storm of the North [Calandra 1] Calandra Truthsayer, Oracle of the Glimmerwood [+27] - Dire Troll Bomber [19] - Pyre Troll [8] - Trollkin Runebearer [0(5)] Fell Caller Hero [0(5)] Horthol, Long Rider Hero [8] Valka Curseborn, Chieftain of the North [0(6)] Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes (max) [9] - Northkin Elder [3] Northkin Fire Eaters [7] Northkin Fire Eaters [7] Trollkin Champions (max) [16] - Skaldi Bonehammer [5] Trollkin Long Riders (max) [20]

Makes him super painful to add into a list much of the time. Have to balance his 8 points plus whatever extra you spend on beasts and/or minion options and much of the time he ends up not making the cut since he'll end up costing me a free solo.
