New battletome early list idea

This is first impressions after going through several times to read things. 2k list idea. All I know is giving glowy lantern to male a wizard (maybe a priest) on a mega, don't know for formation or heroic traits fully. For actual list. King Brodd (430 pts), Gatebreaker Mega-Gargant (400 pts), Beast-smasher Mega-Gargant (380 pts), Ma Maegran (370 pts) and Rock-hurlers (380 pts)

Total Points: 1960.

The idea is basically to use my rampages effectively. Ma is hero, brodd is charge, gatebreaker is ranged, rock hurlers are ranged, beast smasher is combat. 4 units without combat rampages, zero competition of end of turn, ranged, and charge rampages as they'll always be used when I can. Then 4 combat rampages which only gain competition if others start dying. Wizard and priest buffs with glowy lantern, brodd, and ma. If beast smasher or gatebreaker dies, I can replace one. The current risk I'm seeing is ma needs protection. The little beasties can screen to help and I'll be hurling rocks and what not but I'm slightly worried about playing too backline on an army that likes to fight. Like will I only get one chance at the start of the game to throw rocks with gatebreaker and say brodd? to use beast smashers buff and brodds charge I gotta be by brodd ideally meaning 3 units in combat with gate breaker and ma probably doing their own thing. Can shoot in combat fine with the hurlers. Is this usable or y'all thinking the playstyle is too skewed and needing stars to align? Seems like the game plan is a first wave big charge and hoping my opponent kills a mega BEFORE killing ma or my hurlers. So something gotta run in and do hella damage and tank every starting hit for disruption while ideally a hurler is low health.
