You're off to a better start than me - I'm 5-3-2. My current goal is to average more than 1 TD a game - at 10 games I'm at 10 TDs.
I'm with you on the no Thro-Ra's - in fact our teams looks pretty similar. Only problem is I haven't had enough skellies killed yet (although I did lose a Mummy) so I'm probably going to start sacking skeletons and replacing them with Thro-Ra's with the extra money.
I do have two 4MA Mummies, though - very nice! Watch out for my speed Khemri team! 
I also noticed you have played a lot more bashy teams - 4 Chaos, 2 Orc and 2 Khemri. Amazingly, I have played 10 different races in 10 matches!! My prediction is that your first loss will come against a well-coached dodgy team - I had a meltdown against High Elves and they beat me 3-0.
I'm pulling for ya - show all those Khemri-whiners that there are some of us who actually play to win and don't do too bad at it!  |

I bought Thro-Ras with my Khemri team in the beginning but I over heard a convo in chat about the fact thro-ras are just skellies with sure hands that cost 40k more...so it's better TR/TS-wise to just skill up skellies and give one or 2 sure hands on yer own.
I was letting the thro-ras go the way of the dinosaurs up until black box started and I stopped playing in ranked for the most part. |

HMP is a fun tool (I generally use Thro-Ras though, as I tend to give my Blitz Ras Guard and MB and use them up front), but I wouldn't build a team around using it. Just keep it for those moments where a speedy team has managed to pin you. |

Unless you intend to use the passing access or the pass skill of a Throw-Ra then a skeleton with surehands is better for Blackbox. Throw-Ras cost 3TS just for the pass skill and a further 3.5TS for the first skill after that. |
