This is a fine list, but just to let you know, with a little tweaking it could become a Family Reunion theme list.
-Axer
-Janissa
-Fell Caller
-Whelps
+Stone Scribe Chronicler
+Champion Hero
and 9 points to spend on beasts.
That would let you advance move your 2 units at the start of the game and they all gain concealment/feign death.
There was an interesting writeup on Borka's strengths and weaknesses in a recent Lost Hemisphere article (maybe Thursdays?). It got me excited enough to put together a Borka list of my own!
Borka is a ton of fun. I love using his army to wittle away effective models, then move Borka up to sieze control points with Iron Flesh on himself. DEF 17/ARM 19 is so ridculously awesome.
Just last tournament, I charged Borka to the front of my line to kill Tartarus and used my Fennblades to engage the only heavy warjack my opponent had. In 3 turns on the front line, my opponent just couldn't hit him at DEF 17 and I eventually won by control points.
Fennblades work really well if you're playing a borka brick. Have them run forward and the cast Iron Flesh on them. It will boost them up to 15 DEF and 17 DEF against charges.
