Yup, it's really something I dislike about this army. Hope they change it soon, making it more playable. I do not want to spend gametime finicking those long spears in formation. But so far I've been disappointed by most of the book anyway so I will wait for a proper release with tyrion.

Right but what if you play khorne army book and not std. Crazy rules these days, I remember the days you could actually read the warscroll and apply those rules. Lol.

It's not my army, but I can't find anything on his warscroll that he has to pick.

OK not my army but will let him know.

It was a khorne allegiance army. Archaeon has all the keywords so receives all the benefits. With the skull alter you can reroll failed prayers. If the warshrine which is a khorne priest is within 8 inch. With the banner you give Archaeon extra attacks but most importantly skarbrand which has the carnage ability, if you roll a 6 it does 16 mortal wounds, with 2 attacks very common. So yeah I would call that a broken army haha.

Was not my army(borrowed it) , so don't remember all the details. It used a warshrine with prayers giving archeon 1+ sv and all kind of rerolls, skarbrand with banner for extra attack for max mortal wounds and another bloodthrister.

2+ nagash with teleportation and super saves. It's bonkers, played against them yesterday also with a completely op archeon army so it was really fun. But if your army doesn't allow crazy op stuff it's not fun, not even close.

Awesome, I misread that. Taught it only worked on the gobbos. Does it stack with multiple bosses? Still with LD 6 and perhaps 7 wholly within 18'' makes large units risky to flee.

After reading the warscrolls more carefully, it's clear that large units of both trolls are not so great. With bravery 5 and I didnt see any way to improve on that combining with the ruling on healing and even more for the ranged attack of the rock trolls that is per unit. It's a bit of a shame that it really doesn't give any true options to make a unit larger then 3.

Double

You can also get a hag which is a hero and provides magic. It won't benefit from the battalion but iam not sure if a second boss does.

I wish the old king also had a place. Recently got the model as a start of a themed troll army for casual narrative play. Could he be used as throgg boss?

Nice write up. Always great to read about the old days. Regarding 40k I believe the most recent fluff was that the forefathers created the orks and eldar to fight the necrons and their gods.

Its not an elite unit so pretty obvious 10 per box. With the recent releases if a unit is considered core it always comes 10 per box, only some exceptions here and there. (easy build stuff and ofc 7 plague marines...)

The hurricane raptors are decent. Played them a lot in v1 now they got a bit better, however with the new options we got they are kinda shelved for the moment. It's sad they don't count as battle line for vanguard.
