You guys forgot one of the interesting ones, that seems to still be a WIP.


ROK!



Waaaaaaaaay nicer than the optional metal parts. Guy looks way better now. Never got the upgrade kit, but I will certainly be getting this one.

Wonder if we'll see Tiberion and Ghettorix as well?

Shame they didn't include some beer in there for him.

I also agree that Kreoss should have been redone before Severius.

Cryx is getting that Deneghra2 resculpt.

Wow, trolls got hit with the nerf bat hard - but it's focused on that crazy tier list with all the free points of light beasts, warders (lost weapon master!) and runeshapers (less range on their knockdown effect, And they can't charge and use it anymore).

Bradigus crazy tier also got the nerf.

Splatter boar got a slight buff through clarification... now it's even scarier (and with the few options pigs have, will be a very common sight when released!).


Edit: I hadn't seen Rok, that looks so much better! Thanks for posting it, highlord

Yea, that was a BIG errata. The Woldwarden change is a subtle buff for Baldur and the Wilder in addition to the Warden himself; a lot more ability for random 4" forests to pop up now.

Runes of War and EE will be showing up a lot less now, and I suspect EE will disappear almost completely.

yes we have this fella who will be released in about three months.

Why Warders have to lose Weapon Master?

Whyyyyyyyyy?

Isn't their role just to clog up the field and piss off non- Trollblood players?

On the other hand the way Warders get played, doesn't surprise me all that much...

He'd been available as a webstore exclusive IIRC. They're just making him available for general purchase, IE: He'll be on the shelves in stores.

Not that you'd use him when you could use Denny or Gaspy.

Updated my post above as the nerf to Runeshapers seems to be that they can't use their knockdown effect on the charge anymore (in addition to it being a slightly shorter range). Ouch! Both common troll tier lists got hurt. That along with the Warder nerf means you could see some entirely new troll lists becoming popular.

Good. EE and Runes were entirely too prevalent. With the expansion of options for Trolls in the last year it's exciting to see where the meta goes for them now.

If anyone wanted to get into trolls, I suspect we will be seeing a lot of cheap elemental trolls, runeshapers, and warders soon.

I am a little surprised that they took WM from warders but didn't give them Pow 12 naturally. Or rapid strike at pow 10. At the moment they really do seem to lack a role, being really slow, hard to kill, but very pillow fisted. One of those two bad aspects seems like it should be mitigated.

I can see the idea. The intention was for warders to be very durable(which they are) and for Champs to be hard hitting(which they are).

But the issue was warders also hit almost as hard as champs but were also durable. Which invalidated the champs. They probably should have gained 1-2 pow as you mentioned though as just being pow10 is too much of a nerf.

As a former troll player, I don't think anyone just getting into trolls should make those purchases (although I know you were kind of joking). Instead, I'd start with the following:

Trolls have extremely strong beasts with the right warlock (and there are a few to choose from on that front now) which makes for a great and easy / fun to play list.

I'm not really sure where they should go for infantry now, but Croaks fit right in with the aesthetics of the faction, and so are an interesting option. Mainly, troll players can save some money and avoid buying all the weird units released for them that don't really have a role (of which Warders now join, too). But the beasts and a few of the units (maybe Fennblades?) would be great investments to start.

just started Trollbloods, have not played a single game of Warmachine/Hordes yet. Thankfully did not purchase any units besides Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes unit. The Croaks do sound interesting, what makes them a good option?

Croaks just are murder on high arm/low Def stuff, and pretty good against just about everything. Throw in Pyre troll's also benefiting from the boosted fire damage that Croaks put out there and you have some nice synergy in the ranged attack department.

Sweet, and that is a fantastic unit so no worries there

The Croaks are just really good at shooting and killing stuff, unlike most ranged troll units . I never actually got any use out of any of the ranged troll units I bought.

They don't benefit from in-faction buffs, so where to use them will depend on what you're running. But they're much more in line with trolls than the other ranged unit that was often used when I played them, which was Nyss hunters... which don't fit the theme at all!

Edit: Ninja'ed

Oh, and how could I forget Fire Eaters!? They are bat poo insane with Croaks. ALL THE DICE on fire sprays.

Throw all that together with Calendra and you have a nifty army. Plus, lots of PP players are going to rage quit after EE got nerfed, so this week is a good time to get deals.

Pyre troll + Fire breathers + Croaks = high levels of obnoxiousness for anyone but the Troll player (or the Troll player doing a proper trolling).

I'd say Kriel warriors are a decent starting unit for a Troll player. I say that after having finally finished painting all of mine.

Hmmm, I have a Pyre Troll and Fire Breathers. $64 for the Croaks though.. I'll have to consider this.

Miniature Market sells them for 49$, when they have them in stock. That is pretty high a price for 10 models though, I agree.

Wow, Proteus looks so much cooler as a specific kit and not an add on. Really impressed with that resculpt.

Yeah. Makes it hurt even more that his rules are sooo terrible.

Uh oh...

Something dangerous is coming... VERY DANGEROUS.

Oh my goodness, of my DAYUM.

This is going to be like Kryptonite to me.

Sorry Mantic, but your Walking Dead zombies play second fiddle to reptile people and katar wielding pig ladies.

I'm going to guess we'll be seeing lots of alternate sculpts as well as new ones, if the Insider is anything to go by.

As long as they do something with the tiles after the blandness of the Undercity, they'll be golden.

Undercity seems to have very few alternate sculpts, what makes you think this will be different (did they indicate this somewhere)?

Also someone mentioned the Undercity plastic was really soft...

But if the above two things were addressed, I'd love some alternate bog trog minis!

Meh. If I'm interested in it I'll wait until it's 75% off on a MM clearence sale like the rest of their board games.

My guess on why we'll probably see some new or alt sculpts?

Going after that CMON Kickstarter $$$.

You don't think there won't be Hordes player (especially Minion fans) scoping things out?

You want people buying add ons up the wazoo?

Alt Sculpts. Especially if they do limited metals or resins? You know people will be buying it.

I don't own Undercity, but I do have the Iron Kingdoms Unleashed set, and I'll agree that the figures were a bit bendy.

Not the worst by any means, but with CMON's recent outings Privateer is going to have to step up their game if they want to rake in that kind of cash.

At least the IK: Unleashed has decent tile artwork...

Have to say I'm dissapointed with all the whining trollblood players. I've been on ebay, BSS forums and facebook groups all day and have only seen one troll set put up.

Come on guys, I want some cheap trolls!

I heard the scale might also be a bit different for the board games, highlord?

But yeah, as a minions player I'll certainly be keeping an eye on it

I know, right? I have half an eye out as I have wanted to play Calendra out of tier for a long time. Like a blue eMorvhana, right? But sadly, I am not seeing cheap armies for sale :( Hell, I would take a significant percent of retail if they were just pre-cleaned to a good standard
