Well, the Ogrun certainly look good. Sorry elfs

There's some seriously cool stuff here. I really like the Mammoth a lot, even if it looks like there's some practicality issues with them thar tusks...

Also- Farrow Bonegrinder Warlock is straight bananas!

Join us, Zeke.

Joooooiiiiin us.

Jooooiiiiiiin uuuuusssssss.

I can't tell if you guys are talking about Legion or the game in general

Speaking of which, Legion just took the top 2 spots in our local league!

Although, trollbloods took the next 2 spots (of which I was one) both running Mountain Kings... so that shows how much the internet meta affects our local gaming scene (i.e. not all that much).

I've been playing larger point games (an excuse to use the MK), and he's a great fire magnet... Mulg's little 12 point butt managed to get a solid three caster kills while the Mountain King was dealing with infantry.

Also for anyone that hasn't tried it... Electro Leep + MK + Hordes of Infantry = so much fun

If you're thinking of an electro-leaping sweep with Amuck, that doesn't work, unfortunately, for rather fiddly reasons. The Storm Troll animus is applied to a weapon, and power attacks including sweeps don't use any particular weapon.

The thought was there, but I didn't do it. I took initial attacks, and bought attacks. He had Wild Aggression on him from upkeep, so Amuck wasn't needed.

Thanks for the clarification in case I did want to do it

You guys are so much better at playing this game than I am

Nice idea, Alf! And Elemental, that wasn't my quote, although I'd have liked it to be

I had to fill 5 points in my list, I wanted the Axer so I could give +2 inches to Mulg's charge of death, but ended up building, priming, painting, and basing my Storm Troll in 2 hours before a game. Best choice ever. I was thinking the Pyre troll for fire immunity, but then I realized I really only feared the continuous fire, which my Kriel Stone Bearer's could take care of before it got too much out of hand, and that Electro leap was a nice addition no matter how you look at it... Sure it's unboostable, but it's extra chances at killing things. Even single wound models with ARM 16 have a chance of going down to Electro Leap.

And Malf, I'm not good, I'm lucky and rely on the killy-ness of my Dire Trolls...

I would also point out that I was not available to play in the league. It is entirely possible that I would have lost so horribly that Steve would have felt too guilty to play MK and Mulg in the league at large, and would have been bumped to 5th

Oops, quoted two people, trimmed the reply and took off the wrong one.

Lol Wehr . I have been having some decent luck with Mountain King without Mulg, the real thing that made me suffer at the end was not having Doomshaper. MK really needs his wild aggression with Mat 5

Yea, Doomie is a really great beast caster. We need to get a lot more games in too; we play such similar lists, and I gotta figure out what I am doing wrong that keeps me from coming out on top!

Well, wrong in general, not wrong like 'Got my feral 1" too far forward, got him eaten by Mulg' wrong

I always found the best way to play eDoomie is with something with rush.

On feat turns, that Mountain King becomes a goddamn speedboat of anger and flailing.

The problem is that Mulg does the same thing for 8 points less... The thing that the MK gets with Rush, Wild Aggression, and Feat Turn is he becomes a beast with Tramples.

Well, I only play against Trollbloods, so just ignore me.

Lol, it's okay Chowder it's a valid concern of the trollbloods "community" that our Gargantuan sucks and that Mulg can do everything he can for less points. I've found the happy medium of both at the same time

Hard to trample a 5" base fully past very much... I still need to figure out how to face speed debuffs, too.

Yea, I recall doing that to you in the one game I played against your MK, RiTides. Throw a Tharn or two in front of MK and he can't trample anywhere useful. Of course you still Primal Shocked me into oblivion, but the trample was stopped

It is hard trampling over everything and finding the space, but when you do, it's devastating

Animus: Counterblast

This is what someone with the new NQ posted. The speculation at the moment is that the RAT should be 4.

Counterblast: When a model advances and ends its movement in this model's command range, this model can make one normal melee or ranged attack targeting that model, then Counterblast expires. Counterblast lasts for one round.

I guess we now know how the mammoth gets to fire its fourth cannon.

Last night I was thinking about building my titan cannoneer again ... and this morning the mammoth reminds me to save my time for proper big guns

EDIT - Fury 5 baby!

- Salvage

Holy hell that Archangel is so gorgeous. I know it's gigantic and impractical and I hardly ever play any more.
But holy hell.
