There are three ways to go with the Ferals, Orkeosaurus heavy; Squiggoth heavy or total hoard.

I like to play with 3 or 4 Orkeosaurus as these have the staying power whilst lumbering up over the table. To go Squiggoth heavy increases your mobility and hitting power but are more vulnerable to shooting . Or you forget all that and go Boarboyz, Junkatrukks and mobz with Squig Catapults.

It is possible to go with a combination of all three, but once you have added in your Steam Gargants, which are close to a must, and Wyrdboy upgrades you will find that you want to go with Squiggoths or Orkeosaurus.

Here is the list that I used earlier on this year.

Enjoy the Feral list they have some surprising combinations which will wake your opponents up

Par on this forum made some very nice orkeosaurus conversions

@ Tiny-Tim: saw your list; interesting

how are you handling the Wildboyz? I never take them because they lack FF and I find it hard to get into CC. Let alone being attacked, when you really miss out on attacks.

And the 5 Boarboyz - how is their hitting power? Can you actually assault with those guys?

Most of the time they ride on the Orkeosaurus until it gets close to dying and then they drop off. I'll even do this when they go into a fire fight so there are less of them to have hits allowcated to. The same goes with mounted Wildboyz on Squiggoths. I used to take a formation and add four squig catapults, but this was too good for the points & garrisoning so we introduced the 0-3 restriction.

I mainly use Boarboyz as a force multiplier increasing my activations so that I can be a bit 'Orkish' with them and throw them into mad engagements that they stand a low chance of winning. But it comes off every so often which makes them useful along with thier 5+ save. Double an Orkeosaurus (or two) up and then engage with the boarboyz.

My army can be seen here, divided into warbands that I typically use.

Orekosaures with Warlord mob, xtra boyz and wyrdboy in orkeosaures
3 Steam Gargants
Orkeosaureses with Wild boyz and wyrdboy in orkeosaures
Junkatruck mob with or without nobz containing wyrdboy
Warband with 2 squiggoths
Warband with 3 squig catapults
Boarboyz mobs from normal to huge
Madboyz

I use various mixes of these formations depending on what I feel like. Slow army and somewhat vulnerable to Titan Killer weapons if you go orkeosaures heavy, but fun to stomp around with 8 behemoths.
