So my Ardboys, brutes, gruntaz and stonegorn aren't battle lines?

That's correct, in order to be battleline you need to have all the same Allegiance Keyword. So Brutes, Ardboyz and Gore-Gruntaz have the battleline keyword if everything in your army list does. Once you enter in Arrow Boyz, Grot Shaman, etc with different allegiance keywords those units lose Battleline.

But each model got Keyword Destruction in the book. So I still can't add Arrowboys and savage big boss.

Right, but Brutes for instance have Battleline: Ironjawz. This means they are only battleline in an Ironjawz allegiance army.

Totally interested in building a ironsplitterz list, how would it play? Everything minus the arrowboys runs forward and just sits on objectives? There doesn't seem to be much up front killing power, just more or a grind fest from weight of dice. I only have a storm cast and a tiny ironjaw army in it's infancy. So I'm curious as to how it would work.

Well like you said, the Ironfist goes up to smash things, and the Kunning Rukk stays back to shoot. If you have a lot of Brutes in the Ironfist, I can assure you that the killing power is there.

You'd also have to spend a few hundred points in Savage Orks, Orks or Grots in order to get Battleline if playing in Matched Play.

I'm playing pure ironjawz but think I'm getting into 2 units of savage orcs, 2 units of arrow boys and savage boss with warchanter and 2 units of Brutes or gruntas for damage or locking down units in 1k games adds up to exactly 1000 points with kunnin formation
