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

There are many ways you can run a Monster army and it will all come down to your preferences. Based on how I play, and the other Troll players here on Dakka (RiTides for example) play, its quite clear that most of the lists work, even though they are quite different.

Are you completely stuck on using the Warriors/Chosen or do you wan't to go for a complete Monster Mash Up?

Personally for 2500-3000 I run 3 units of 6 Trolls, a unit of Dragon Ogres (the size varies depending on how I feel that day), and Lords/Heroes that I converted up.

It seems to work wonders for me, but other people like to run the Troll Deathstar, Ogres, etc. It all works, and it depends on your preference.

Tamurkhan is a beauty by the way, I absolutely love mine!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385347/3114000.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385347/3114000.page GMT WoC Heavy Troll Army

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.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385347/3114133.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385347/3114133.page GMT WoC Heavy Troll Army
Unless your stuck on the Warriors, I would personally say take them out (I'm a very fluffly person. Its a curse, it really is) and beef up the Dragon Ogre unit. I tend to run a unit of 8 and they plow through almost anything.

Of course if you really want infantry I would suggest some Marauders, since there are some Roppsmen in Troll Country and Marauders would make perfect sense for that. Plus a large unit of Marauders would be a mass of fun.

Any reason inparticular you want to use Festus? Or would a Nurgle Sorcerer suffice?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385347/3114267.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385347/3114267.page GMT WoC Heavy Troll Army IMO you can hate all you want They are really effective tho thats a fact.

You are running a troll aarmy I want to see a horde of trolls as in 6 wide possibly 2 or 3 deep epic troll win.

Combine that with a jugger lord to run a bouts and jsut shred units by himself and you are set.

Mon over priced not effective go with mok or something else but mon not worth it sadly.

If you want festus in a useful unit suggestion.
18 man warriors unit mok halberds (shields possibly) flaming standard.
Park festus in that and you got well self explanitory. A ton of attacks at str 5 with flaming they will mess up everything

Also would drop the Ogres for more trolls.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385347/3114509.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385347/3114509.page GMT WoC Heavy Troll Army

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.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385347/3114546.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385347/3114546.page GMT WoC Heavy Troll Army BSB on Daemonic Steed.

Troll on jugger OMG that is amazing haha LOVE IT.

Tz sorcerer is more effective since the disc can put him in a good position fast.
If you go nurgle sorcerer might as well go with festus and then just add a shadow sorcerer nad you are set drop the t and or str and then blast with curse and woot bye bye unit ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385347/3114580.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385347/3114580.page GMT WoC Heavy Troll Army

Buttler, do you have any good 1k point lists for trolls?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385347/3114826.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385347/3114826.page GMT WoC Heavy Troll Army
Throgg- 175

6 Trolls- 270
6 Trolls- 270
6 Trolls- 270

Total- 985

I imagine at 1,000 points that would be too brutal for most armies to handle but I only really play 2500 or 3000 so Im not to sure.

How bout..
Throgg
6 Trolls
8 Trolls (Throggs Unit)

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

Regarding the Trolls, I tried that way with my Trolls but I found that my opponents usually attacked the Trolls instead of my main block, and for some reason they saved so many woaunds they ended the phase as real uber monsters... but broken ones as they constantly losed the combats, ran and were overrun or very far away of the Lord's Ld bubble to recover once more.

Maybe I need to give them a try once more.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385347/3119470.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385347/3119470.page GMT WoC Heavy Troll Army http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385347/3119738.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385347/3119738.page GMT
