Me thinks when a troll vomits on machinery like a catapult or a stone thrower etc, that the machinery should clog up and malfunction. In rule form, when a troll vomits on a piece of machinery this happens:

The enemy who's machinery has been vomited on must roll for a leadership test at the start of their next turn. (If the machinery crew are in close combat or not alive then don't roll a leadership test it simply counts as a failed roll.) If they pass the Crew have fixed the machine and it moves and attacks as normal. If they fail the test then the machinery is unable to move or shoot, they must roll again next turn.

Therefore it's possible that by vomiting on machinery a troll could disable it for multiple turns while he goes to wreak havoc elsewhere or destroys the crew members. What do you guys think?

I suppose, though the only way he can go wreak havoc elsewhere is if the crew breaks and he doesn't pursue, he breaks, isn't caught, rallies, and walks somewhere else, or if he ate all the crew anyways.

Practically speaking this rule would very, very rarely come into play, unless you had some sort of special scenario going on.

Yeah, since you have to be in Close Combat for Troll Vomit, at least you do in the W.o.C book.

Well, what he said.

BUT, I came in here because of the title "Troll vomit on machinery."

Awesome!

So, we'll always have that, at least...

The crew might have some Cillit Bang

BANG! and the vomit is gone!

The title sounds like a newspaper headline that someone wil take the mic out of (like enraged cow chases farmer with axe).

And, Chibi, great inspiration for a WHFB advertisement!
