This warband looks like it will be a lot of fun to play. It's full or different tactics and strategies. The trap looks very interesting from a strategical standpoint. You could potentially do so many things with it, your opponent will have a tough time trying to figure out your plan. Here's a few off the top of my head:

1. Bushwakka could move up and place the trap, then you use distraction to move an adjacent fighter into the trap (with spectral wings he can place it farther up)

2. He can place it on an objective shutting it off for any fighter with less than 3 wounds left

3. He could place it up the board and then you can pull a fighter in with Hrothgorn's ranged attack

4. He could put it on a lethal hex so any fighter would take 3 damage if put on that hex

I' sure there's many other shenanigans Bushwakka can do.  Luggit and Thwak also look very thematic. They can push an enemy fighter one way or another, no matter if they will the roll, tie, or lose. If your intention is to push the enemy fighter in a specific direction, it's almost better to hope you lose the roll as they only do one damage anyway. 

What does every think about them?

The warband doesn't look completely broken right out of the box like Grymwatch. Looks strong enough to join Mournflight, Thorns, Breakers and Grymwatch at the top, at worst he'll likely slot in right below them with Profits and Mollog.

Yes he doesn’t look to broken. It does look like the warband has a high ceiling in strategies, which is cool. Seems like it could be a superior warband in the right hands, but not necessarily an easy button warband.

Hrothgorn gained quite a bit from the newest 2 sets, namely “Victimize” and “Hunter’s Talisman”. Victimize makes Hrothgorn crazy accurate for one attack and hunters talisman makes him crazy accurate for all of his attacks. I think he will work quite well as an Aggro/flex build leaning more towards Aggro. Even his pet cat is a pretty decent fighter. The other 3 not so much.
