My thoughts!

- Your list is hard to read.
- Both wallcrusher and Bullgut are essentially worthless items
- As are tooth gnoblars
- Ditch the IF on the Bulls and get yourself some Bellowers. If you want extra attacks take AHW.
- Ditch the Trapper champ and take the 9th Trapper instead.
- Leadbelchers are too risky for a 1000pt game.
- Your list is 1,001 points.

My thoughts! ( on your thoughts! )

- Your list is hard to read.
( Yeah.. sorry bout that )
- Both wallcrusher and Bullgut are essentially worthless items
( 15 points for an additional armor piercing impact hit { thanks to the bullgut } could take out an additional knight... i wouldn't consider that worthless randroid! but we'll see... )
- As are tooth gnoblars
( yeah maybe i don't quite understand how they work... what i sac one to get an extra point value on my dice roll?)
- Ditch the IF on the Bulls and get yourself some Bellowers. If you want extra attacks take AHW.
( a bellower will what? give me plus one to rally right? Or win in a tie? ok yeah that sounds nice. )
- Ditch the Trapper champ and take the 9th Trapper instead.
( not a bad idea )
- Leadbelchers are too risky for a 1000pt game.
( I want to see them in combat.. and I ain't no pansy.. risk is my middle name. )
- Your list is 1,001 points.
( oh thanks Randroid i hadn't noticed... pffff )

Don't count on getting Bullcharge off. Any smart player will move enough to avoid the charge or negate your impact hits (you have to charge over 6" to get it). You are taking two items that are totally dependent on that which is why I view them as worthless. They are too situational and have no place in any list (well in my opinion anyway) and especially not in a low points game.

Your Bruiser needs to help your army. Things like Fistful of Laurels or a Thiefstone are nice because they add benefit to the army as a whole.

Tooth Gnoblars are a one use +1 to a single roll. If they added a d6 to the roll I would consider using them.

Bulls are primarily used as bait for OK lists. Bellowers help you bait with a little more comfort as it bumps them up to 8 for their rally test. IF will almost always be negated or not used in place of the AHW option.

Leadies are 100% the same as Bulls in CC. If you want to see that just take more Bulls.

Your post title says "1000 pt" not 1,001 which is why I pointed that out...  ;)
