Hello and welcome to the Stronghold!

My random thoughts on your list:

- I don't like Daemon-Killer Scars as they are entirely too situational and cost too much (VC only pay 25 to 30 max for their versions for instance). Too much ItP/Frenzy/MoS/high Ld/etc out there to really make use of it.

- Drop the luck gnobs on the Butcher - you don't have armor to reroll and you don't have a ward save for them either. If you are planning on using these for any Trollguts rolls you might get I wouldn't count on it ... better to put these points elsewhere (a bellower or champ for the Leadies would be a good choice).

- Not a big fan of the cookbook either. I would rather have another scroll. If you are going to proceed with the whole Terror thing you should get Skullmantle to go in the unit with the Tyrant.

- Not a fan of the 'eavy Bulls either. Naked, with bellower, or with AHW is how I prefer mine.

- Your IG units seem a bit big. You could run 2 x 3 and 1 x 4 with more success I think.

- I assume those units of Trappers are a typo!? Why on earth would you want to run them in units of 20? I think 12 is the most I have ever run. I wouldn't bother with the champs either unless you plan on using them to challenge lone characters.

That is all I have for now.

Ok, thank you for your help, I'm going to go back and change my list around a little bit.

------Edit-------

I went back and changed my list around.

Looks better but you can't have both the Bangstick and Skullmantle on one Butcher as they are both Arcane items.

I might swap the Bellowers out on the Bulls since you'll use the for bait more than IG.

    Im also tempted to switch my hunter out for a bruiser bsb

    What do you guys think?

It is what I would play with. My Hunter only makes rare appearances in "for fun" games.

Ok, so here is the most recent incarnation of my list. Please let me know what you think.

Ehh ... Hellheart is too risky for me. Could easily hurt you more than your opponent, especially if they have a way of manipulating miscasts.

Rhinox Riders are also a rare choice, by the way.
And I agree with Randroid on the Hellheart, especially if you have more than one Butcher.

I know about the Rhinox Riders.

And I was debating dropping one butcher and a squad of bulls and getting a bruiser w/ siegebreaker and greedy fist. I will have a few extra pts though.

^ Do that, siegebreaker is awesome.  What about a BSB in there somewhere?

Have you thought about nixing one of the Leadie units and expanding your 'Guts to 4 each? I've had a lot of success with 4 'guts.   

Also, if you know you're gonna' be facing shootie lists, a champ may be a good idea in some of your units to distribute wounds.

I like my units of 3 guts cuz when I run units of 4, I never get all of them in cc at once and it is a hassle to move

I did decide however to drop a unit of leadies, a unit of bulls, and a butcher w/hellheart and add in 4 more trappers, a scraplauncher, and a bruiser w/ siegebreaker and GF

If you take a fighty butcher (siegebreaker is an excellent choice) I would suggest giving him the skullmantle as well.

Also, I would upgrade the rhinoxrider to a standard bearer (instead of the thunderlord) and give him a warbanner. Absolute terror
