  1. Been out of wargaming for a few years and dipping my toes back into the hobby in general. Not thrilled with the current state of 40k, so I'm looking at AoS, specifically Troggs. I'm mostly focused on the painting aspect right now with a Aqshy/Fire themed idea for the models, but feel it would be a shame if I didn't at least try the game. I have NO idea how to play 3.0 with no memory of even playing 1st. Here is simply what I'm thinking to start off with just to learn the game. Pretty straightforward, keeping it simple with only 2 Warscrolls to manage and not worry about synergies/combos, etc. One of the player at the FLGS even commenting that it's a good place to start, but not sure anyone would play me. Not sure if that was good/bad? 3 x Dankhold Troggboss 24 x Rockgut Troggoths (4x6) I've got plenty of models that I've picked up over time just sitting in boxes, and I'm aware that I've got more than a complete force. I'm currently working on assembling the Rockguts, then I was going to do the bosses to have a base list. There won't be much to assemble after that, but here is a list of everything I have. I simply have no direction beyond the 'rule of cool' so any advice would be appreciated, keep in mind I haven't played AoS since 1st, and I haven't played ANY tabletop system in 3-4 years. I've read the Troggoth Thread for ideas, and I'm still waiting on the book. Trugg (Assembled) 2 x Dankhold Troggs 24 x Rockguts 6 x Fellwater 2 x Moonclan Shaman (Madcaps?) 1 x Loonshrine ----- Mollug's Mob FW River Hag ----- 1 x Marshcrawla 2 x Mancrusher Garg's
  2. Hope everyone had a great Holiday! I ended up with virtually the whole army. 2 Dankhold Troggoth Kits 6 Rockgut Troggoth Kits 2 Fellwater Troggoth Kits Marshcrawla Sloggoth Kit Mollugs Mob 2x Metal Madcap Shaman FW Troggoth Hag So outside of the Loonshrine there only seems to be 2 other optional kits to get. The Mirebrute Troggoth to switch out Marshcrawla. The other kit I've been advised to look at is the Maneater/Aleguzzler Gargant kit. They'd be cool, but I'd have to look at finding ways to convert them into troggs. Someone else suggested Kragnos as well, but I've not seen if he works or not. There are currently 4 kits that I don't have yet because they didn't make the cutoff date at the local GW shop. but I've been sent the email order #. Once I have those, I'm looking forward to starting assembly. Thanks All!
  3. Got the Battletome and I got impatient. Had a chat with the GW guy, broke down and picked up the bare minimum. I got a Troggboss and 2 boxes of Rockguts. So no matter what I get from the Secret Santa, I'll be able to use it. I'm not sure if I should order some Fellwater Troggs or not. They're direct only so I'm not sure if I'm even going to get them from the Santa. Would I use more than 6 in a list, in case I do get some? I've got a color scheme in mind and I've ordered some Slate chips before I test it out. I'm not a fan of the Barnacles however, so will probably GS them to look like rocks, not sure yet.
  4. @BrocknerTheBear Thank you for your help. I'm trying to understand where the Battleline requirement is. Are there rules somewhere for it other than the BRB or Battletome? I only just got the BRB so I'm still working through it. I'm not terribly worried about it at this stage, but feel like it would be good to know. I'm actually fine if that is the case. It sounds like I picked a decent faction if we're so limited with options. Makes it easier to manage an army compared to having too many options.
  5. Thank You everyone! I ended up picking up 2 x Rockguts, since that's all they had on the shelf. Is the AoS app not fully debug'd yet? I currently have a 1k setup on there with Mollug as the general, and the Rockguts as Battleline. He has the Dankhold Keyword, but not the Troggboss keyword. Can anyone else test this out? I did see the rule that allows Troggoths to become Battleline if the Troggboss is the General, so I'm inclined to believe that the Troggboss is req'd to make them Battleline. I was also told that Battleline is no longer required depending on what organization you pick? Is this true? Or do I still need Battleline for AoS3? Thanks.
  6. I got bored, played around with the app a bit. 1k list to start off with and came up with this: ---------- Mollug Madcap Shaman 6 x Rockguts 6 x Rockguts Loonshrine ---------- I was told Mollug works for making Troggs Battleline. (No book yet so can't confirm). AoS app allowed it, but I didn't see anything on either Mollug or the Troggboss Scrolls. Without playing any games, 1/4 of your points spent on Troggboss just feels too high. He might still show up from the SS, so who knows. I tossed in the shaman simply because it looks like a simple enough combo with 'Night Shroud' and to learn how magic works in AoS3. The remaining points could be used on a Sloggoth or an Aleguzzler depending on how the Santa thing pans out. No clue on how to Traits/Artefacts yet, so wouldn't even know what to pick there. The Loonshrine is showing ZERO points, is this just something we get? If I'm on the right direction, then picking up 2 x Rockguts wouldn't hurt, even if I get some for SS? EDIT: Will I need the other book for the Sloggoth? Or does the Warscroll off the app work fine?
  7. Just need a starting point for Troggs and what to start off with. The timing is my biggest obstacle right now and my impatience has won for now. I've ordered the Gloomspite Army book through my FLGS, but it's still a few weeks out. I've also jumped in on a 'Secret Santa' hobby at my local Warhammer store with Troggs all on my wishlist. I've got SOMETHING coming I've just got no idea what yet. I've seen a few AoS3 games on YT, but most of it doesn't make sense yet. As a result, when I look at the army on the AoSapp/Bscribe none of it makes any sense. What's a good 1000 pt list to get me started? Which Troggs, if any, can I get now without being worried about getting duplicates from the SS? I'm interested in getting something assembled to test out my paint scheme. A little nudge would be nice and help me feel a bit more confident buyin stuff. I'm mainly a 40k player but have always liked AoS when I can get a game. I've been struggling to find an army that I enjoy in AoS. I've done Dark Elves, Slayers, Kharadron, and Stormcast, but never really felt motivated to finish them and sold them off. Losing interest in 40k and I'm back to give AoS3 a go. I've settled on Troggs for now because even if I don't like them, the army isn't going to take up a ton of room with a lower model count. I did look at Sons of Behemat and the models don't interest me as much as the troggs do. Thanks.
  8. Not really new, but I'm back to give it another go. With Competitive 40k being gone for the foreseeable future, I'm taking a look at AoS again to try n keep my Hobby spirits up. I don't currently have an army. My Dark Elf, and Kharadron armies didn't really work for me, and are now gone. I'm leaning toward Troggoths, but I'm exploring all options at this time. Hoping to make this trip back stick. -Thx
