So far I have: Skragrott, Mollog, squig herd X6, squig herd x6, boingrot x5, boingrot x5. Tot 730 points 58 wounds. I am very tempted to get the wallet out and add a mangler squig. That will take me up to almost 1000. PS I am not going for a full competitive list. The more I think about it the more I am leaning to the squigs and not the grots. Yeah I’m going all Squigs then topping it up with trogs. Joined a slow grow league and I’ve won both my games so far, we’re only at 500points currently but my list is: boss on manglers 5x hoppers 5x bounders. going up to 750 next sonill be adding another unit each of hoppers and bounders. Then another mangler when we get up to 1000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Krungharr Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Sorry if this has been covered already, but what are thoughts regarding a unit of 3 Dankhold Troggoths? Worth purchasing? Or for the points am I better off getting 4 units of Rockguts? Looking to me like Rockguts are the winners but wanted to see what others thought. I sure do like the pulverizing grip of the Dankholds. Could be fun Hand of Gorking 3 of them across the table! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be fun Hand of Gorking 3 of them across the table! 3 dankhold is probably Maximum fun potential but I think general consensus is that the regular Dankhold are not that good for the it points right now. even the Trogboss is kind of a tax unit if you want to use the Trogherd batallion. plus three dankhold is a lot of points for something that not your battleline when building your army. Rockguts and fellwater however are both solid choices for the price point and you can't really go wrong with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skabnoze Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Current internet wisdom (sometimes right and sometimes wrong) says that Dankhold are not that great. The same wisdom holds that the Troggboss is not that great on his own - but command traits and relics benefit him enormously and can change that. My advice would be to proxy them out in a couple of games if you are interested in using them or buying a few of the models. You may find that you agree with the opinion that they are an amazing model but have overpriced rules, or you may find that you really like them and find that they are worth the value to you. I would mainly consider online opinions of what is good or not to be simply opinionated advice and decide for yourself. At the end of the day what matters is that you enjoy using the models that you buy and everyones opinion is subjective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your thoughts on the mangler and the mangler with loonboss? I have Skragrott and I think the control over the moon although it is a one time use is just amazing. Plus his shooting attack is incredible with the mortal wounds rolling on every battle round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really love the manglerboss. It has been mvp in every game! Especially if you give him the ability to Attack and run away afterwards! I think adding another standard mangler is going to be a nice idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novakai Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I try to figure what artifacts are good on him there a cheeky combos you can do with the Mangler boss like Dopperganger cloak and Fight another day where you can escape from combat during your opponent combat phase. thermorider cloak, Glyphfeather charm, or any of the defensive one seems pretty alright on him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order to keep my point under 1k he will have to be a standard mangler. Is there anything wrong with building him as a mangler with loonboss and playing him as a normal mangler? People's thoughts? Casual game would be fine what about competitive gameplay? My 2k I think is looking like this. Skragrott - general, Fungoid, Mollog, Herd, Herd, Herd, Herd, Stabbas, loonsmasha, Boingrott, Boingrott, Rockguts, Mangler, Mangler, Morks mushroom, Cauldron. Two standard manglers. Not sure on spells depend on the game. Squig lure is good. Having the cauldron makes it not an issue.

swiftmus Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I haven't started assembling my Mangler yet, and was wondering how easy it would be to make it modular, so that I can use it as a regular Mangler or the Loonboss version.

You get two separate bodies to go sit on the top, the loonboss and a normal grot. . So I imagine if you be quite easy to magnetise each one and swap between them if that’s what you wanted to do.

DrDemento Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Mangler Boss Artefact? Thoughts with the "fight another day" command trait? Thinking that he's less likely get hit with melee attacks round 1, and in general, given the running away option. So, makes me think bigger threat is magic/mortals (or eventually shooting if the meta swings back). From this thread and podcast discussions, these seem to be the top of the list: - 1 to hit (Clammy Cowl / Gryphfeather Charm) No save mod (Ethereal Amulet) 4+ / 5+ save vs. mortal wounds (Agrax Scales / Loonstone Talisman) Ignore D3 mortal wounds (Lens of Refraction - seems too situational and gameable by big magic list opponents - once per round, first time friendly in 6" suffers, roll D3) Thoughts?
