I did a search and couldn't find anything, so here goes.

Has anyone seen, or better yet, had any luck with lots of trolls for WoC. Using the special character you can make trolls core.
I'm fairly new, but they seem like they are pretty good, asside from being stupid and all. Most of all, they look fun, but I'm not sure if I would get totally run over in even friendly games though.

The idea was for an all Nurgle army, using the special character from forgeworld (the guy on the frog dragon) and the troll hero. 1 unit of warriors or chosen and lots of trolls.
Another reason I want to do this is so I can dual purpose the trolls as plague orgryn for 40k. Which brings me to another question, does anyone know of any square 40mm bases that could fit a 40mm round base in? I would think someone would of thought of that, especially with daemons being cross game.

So an army based around this guy and troooolls.


Thanks guys.

(P.S) I play with local guys so using forgeworld isn't an issue. : P

Oh, found something to use for the trolls. I think these will work atleast.

Though I'm wondering if those would be too big?

Tamurkhan is just.. beastly. He'll be in my list for 3k.

Here is my 2250 list that I just wrote up. I'm a big nurgle fan, so I made this with a nugle theme monster mash. The trolls would be converted to be used as plague ogryn for 40k as well. : D

I think I'm going to use these guys and just a bit of converting/nurgleing, but they look pretty good to start with too, lol.

Gonna field them in 3x2 units and use that tray I have linked up top.

I was really only wanting to use the warriors to have somewhere for festus to sit. Any other units that would be better for him? I'm not a huge fan of the marauder models to tell you the truth.

Any reason inparticular you want to use Festus? Or would a Nurgle Sorcerer suffice?

A nurgle sorcerer would probably be fine. I was thinking of putting him on a palanquin and have him follow a large group of trolls to give them another leadership bubble. With that I could add a larger group of trolls for the king to be in, perhaps another 8 trolls and combine with one of the units of 6.

Hmm, well lots of things to consider now.

*More Trolls

Buttler, do you have any good 1k point lists for trolls?

Well, didn't want to drop 500 bucks right off, lol. Thought a 1000 point start would help me get off to a good start.
How bout..
Throgg
6 Trolls
8 Trolls (Throggs Unit)

10 Hounds
10 Hounds
10 Hounds

I already have 30 or so hounds, so I would "just" need 5 boxes of river trolls and I'll convert one to Throgg.
