<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "The Troll Army: How viable is it?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/93.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net The Troll Army: How viable is it? WoC units (Warriors, Knights), but the model count would start to grow if I kept that. But then I remembered the troll army. You take Throgg and Trolls become a core choice. Having played 2 games of fantasy, I don't know much yet, but I think 2 5 man blocks of trolls as a core choice (At 45 points a pop!), Throgg as my hero, a socceror and some warriors would not be a bad army. (At 1000 points).

So what dose dakka think of the Troll army. Not mine in particular, but the idea in general. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3184245.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3184245.page GMT The Troll Army: How viable is it?

Yes. However, Throgg can throw his Ld at units even if he is not the general. So, you make someone else the general and you have 2 Ld bubbles floating around.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3184397.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3184397.page GMT The Troll Army: How viable is it? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3184463.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3184463.page GMT The Troll Army: How viable is it? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3184580.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3184580.page GMT The Troll Army: How viable is it?
I was thinking it would be a fun army that was still playable. Sure, I might not win a lot, but it is different. I am currently looking at paying 220 dollars for this army, but I think it has a lot of modeling potential, and would be a lot of fun to fight people with. It's like Ogre troops meet WoC magic!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3184630.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3184630.page GMT The Troll Army: How viable is it?
Sorry for the bad English long day but still no excuse.

But ya those guys actually do quite well from what I have seen people usually dont have a way to counter such strong tough troops with so many wounds.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3184638.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3184638.page GMT The Troll Army: How viable is it? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3184655.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3184655.page GMT The Troll Army: How viable is it? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3184787.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3184787.page GMT The Troll Army: How viable is it? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3184800.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3184800.page GMT The Troll Army: How viable is it? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3184938.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3184938.page GMT Re:The Troll Army: How viable is it?

it had Galrauch as the General and main caster(18" ld bubble), Throgg, a BSB on a Deamonic Steed of some kind, and about 50 trolls in 3 units.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3187955.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3187955.page GMT The Troll Army: How viable is it?

I am 100% sure that an all troll army would not be very effective on the table, however it would look cool and I think I remember the OP is mainly playing brets so he dosent really need to bring a good army to beat down those poor buggers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3196192.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3196192.page GMT The Troll Army: How viable is it? WoC to fight hordes, but I do think the Troll army would be fun to play.

They really do alright unless you are playing against cheese and hey why not throw in a lord on a jugger in the main unit of trolls so thats quite a few high str high ws and high initiative attacks.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3196290.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3196290.page GMT Re:The Troll Army: How viable is it?
its 1 str5 hit per troll in BtB with an enemy model(kinda like stomp) that disallows armor. its actually better against small units of elite troops.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3197187.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3197187.page GMT The Troll Army: How viable is it?

I didn't buy a copy of 8th yet, so forgive me if the rules changed, but nowhere in Throgg's rules does it say he takes stupidity away from his unit. His unit has stupidity, so unless 8th edition says that characters without it remove it from their unit, Throgg's unit still suffers from it-as does Throgg, as long as he remains with the unit.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3235250.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389341/3235250.page GMT Re:The Troll Army: How viable is it?
