Thinking about putting together a 2500pt Throgg list for my weekly friendly mash-up. Opponents can be skaven, beastmen, vampires, tomb kings, goblins, empire, lizards and high elves.
I usually field a warrior heavy list but would like to try something different. Anyway, comments welcome.

Major concern is magic defense. With only a lvl 1 wizard to dispel,the magic phase will hurt. The dispel scroll will help of course. The extra +1 from MoT and Third eye on the BSB should give him some casting options with the book of secrets. Plus he will take the lore of shadows and take the signature spell most times to reduce enemy unit initiative to (hopefully) let my trolls attack simultaneously.
Throgg will deploy in the big block of trolls in the center with a unit of trolls on each side. Not sure where to put the BSB. Possibly in throggs unit to make them a big hammer unit. Considering replacing the dispel scroll with the collar of khorne to give his unit some magic resistance and give him a 5+ ward save. But knowing the enemies I will be playing, they almost always take a lvl 4 wizard and usually a backup lvl 2. Or in the case of the goblins 3 wizards.
The dragon ogres will go war machine hunting on one flank while the dogs will try to control the enemy charges. The ogres will take the other flank from the drogres while the giant will face off against any high level spell casters and try to eat/squish/stuff them into his bag.
The hellcannon will do its usual thing. My enemies hate my crazy luck with the artillery dice. So the hellcannon will always be in my list. Plus the model I use (a lizardmen carnosaur) fits with the monstrous horde look of the army.
Anyway, any comments or changes would be appreciated.
