I'm thinking about starting HORDES as Trollbloods and so i have some questions

1.Can i use minions as trollbloods ?
2. Is the mountain king a good model in the game ( Love The Model )
3.What are some of the good units in trollbloods
4.What is a good 'size' for a starting army

1: look on their card. If it says they'll work for trollbloods, then you can use minions as part of a trollbloods army. Bear in mind, you can't have a minion warlock and beasts leading a trollbloods army.

2: mountain king can work, but it takes a lot of support. It's one of pp's few misses. With hordes, you're better off with more warbeasts than one giant one.

3: pretty much most of them. What are you looking at? Fennblades, champions and warders are rock solid.

4: start small. Ideally at 15 points, and build up slowly. This game does not reward jumping in at the deep end

I was looking mainly at Pyg Bushwhacker,Trollkin Sluggers, Trollkin Long Rider and Dire Troll.
I like the idea of a nice chunk of range with some heavy melee and some warbeast. Still don't know how the warlocks work.

If you like the look of the Mountain King but want something a bit more effective in a list with solid ranged firepower, look no further than the Glacier King.
