hobgoblinclub Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I've been thinking about starting a small destruction force purely because I love GW's river trolls. It got me thinking, 'What would a destruction army look like without standard stuff?' So, if I'm not allowing myself anything with orruks, ogors or grots on it (including ridden monsters) what would I take? Fimir? Giants galore? Thanks in advance!

yarrickson Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Troll Hag leading trolls, fimir, giants, sabre tusks? A destruction version of the old Throgg chaos army. Fimir look fairly strong as core objective holders. Put them in terrain and they've a 2+ vs shooting. Sabre tusks are nippy grabbers. Trolls and giants do the fighting. Could chuck in an elemental or dragon to taste. Decent enough army. Lacking in specific (awful word) synergies but decent enough and unique I reckon.

Shane Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I have a unit of 3 Fimir. Ordered another 3 to convert and boost their size. Also have a Colossal Squig on its way. My current idea for a Destruction force: From the Thurlgr swamps in Ulgu, the Realm of Shadows. Beasts and monsters that have survived in an endless struggle. Hidden in the shadows, the most powerful creatures eventually rise together and use open gates to explore lands afar. Nothing can live for long in the Realm of Shadows. Moving to other realms is each species only chance to continue. This force would be comprised of the strange and wonderful. Minimal in number to represent a smaller invading group appearing from the shadows of left open/forgotten Realm Gates; Fimirs... ...led by a Fimir Queen (if FW ever do the model) A Troll Hag who brings the Fimir gifts/prizes in return for arcane secrets A Colossal Squig pet befriend by the Hag and her bag of super tasty swamp fish snacks ...and anything else that takes my fancy and seems fitting. It's likely to be heavy on FW models as they have such character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobgoblinclub Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 @Shane with the Troll Hag in there, it'd seem like river trolls were a sensible addition. Really love those models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meet.the.doctor Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I have a Destruction force based on Troll Hag. Basically it's: Troll Hag, 3xRiver Trolls, 6xTrolls(2dumb2die!), 6xFimir,Giant. This force need some shamans(or other wizards for mystic shields), and some shooting/machines. I've used once the squig Gobba, but he's better on shelf than on battlefield(5+ to hit..).

gnaleinad Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 The River Trolls are now known as Fellwater Troggoth, and the Troll Hag is also a Fellwater Troggoth!!! You can edit the Warscoll for Throgg and make all his special abiltiy work for the Fellwater Troggoth only.. And name it Fellwater Prince! You can even name your warband Sons of the Hags! With a Mother of Fellwater, and her first born the Fellwater Prince!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APH Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 If you don't want to wait for Forge World, Krakon Games produces a nice Meargh model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadlySarcasm Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 @hobgoblinclub So what's the plan? I'm really really intrigued as I love non-standard armies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I think @hobgoblinclub and myself have very similar ideas for a Destruction force. Looking forward to seeing what they create in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking lots of river trolls and maybe a giant or two at the moment. The trolls are pretty much a cert as I can use them in my chaos force too. Really like the idea of some squig stuff too but, old and new, they seem pretty pricey, and/or involve grots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangermouse425 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I'd definitely be tempted to run a Squig-only force one day for lolz. Currently I've got 30 Cave Squigs, 30 Squig Hoppers, 2 Manglers Squigs and 1 Colossal Squig. Add a Night Goblin Warboss on Great Cave Squig and a couple of units of Herders, that's 85 SCGT pools. One more Colossal Squig to make 100 on the dot! AGE OF SQUIGMAR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I have to choose I take more regular Trolls (Sourbreath Troggoths), because of the 2dumb2die rule. Though after FAQ it is a little illogical, because after receiving eg. 20 wounds I have to roll 17x 2dumb2die on one troll instead of killing whole unit and than resurrecting with this ability (as it stands in warscroll "roll a dice for EACH troll" instead as now for ONE troll now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Tomlin Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I love the sound of some of these ideas. One of my bro's has offered me a sweet deal on 12 Fellwater Troggoth's - and man do I love those GW models. Think I'm going to struggle to resist!! Interested to see how this project develops.

TalesOfSigmar Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I've got this planned for Blood and Glory this year. Don't think it'll do very well but my god it's going to be fun pushing the Monster Mash around the table. Though I may switch a couple of River Troll units for Firmir Warriors.

Chris Tomlin Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 That's super cool for sure. I'd like to seem something similar with the Sons of Behemet Battalion involved! Not sure how it is pointed though, if it's not OTT you could fit it in reasonably easily as the Gargant's themselves are nice and cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking to do the same with a monstrous chaos force with skaarac , loads of khorgoraths, a chimera and maybe and a skin wolf or two. Question, Is there anything which will allow the units to work together, or are there anything which will affect all destruction keyword for instance, not knowing anything about destruction forces?
