The gundabads have spears now, it was changed in the latest FAQ. Looks a solid list though, as a fairly experienced hunter orc player myself you'll struggle against terror causing armies but most other stuff should fall to your str 4. Fimbul is one of my favourite evil heroes. If you can, try and mount Yazneg on a warg w/ lance to give him even more killing power.
Yes, I forgot to include that , It was on the points cost though.
I was thinking on including an orc horn to increase courage stats. Maybe dropping two fell wargs.

I didnt go through and calculate the points since I dont have all the books by me, but are you going for a specific points value?
Let me just say....your list DOES look nice....buy Ive tried out Gundabads and besides their defense they always let me down...
Personally when I run Hunter Orcs I literally just use their named heros, then captains, and all they lead is hunter orcs on foot. You get a ton of 2 attack strength 4 models. I know their D is weak, but I havent found putting in gundabads to make it better than just overwhelming with attack.
But it all depends on your play style.
I know though for that list you have you can get another 8 hunters.
Yes, 500 points, it's on the topic subjetc
Including gundabad orcs increase survival chances, at a certain cost because as you said I'm losing kill ability, but I think It's necessary. Everything being D4 is not good against large range armies.
