  1. Eureka! This is a brilliant idea. Think I'll convert a troggoth to have a shaman on its shoulder and use that as the "Troggoth Hag." I despise the normal FW model, so this would be a great alternative.
  2. Yeah that's a huge find I think for troggoth armies, and I hope it doesn't get FAQ'd. Means I can field Skragrott and not feel bad about not taking him as the general.
  3. He does have a variety of ways to keep him alive; unfortunately that doesn't earn him back the points you're spending on him. When you do the math, his attack sequence is almost completely evenly distributed between doing 2 wounds and doing 10. For 300 points you need a unit to be putting the beatdown on your enemy, not potentially doing a few wounds and calling it a day. The hand is fine, but I think it's being overestimated; in most situations you're probably only going to be smooshing 2 wound stormcast or cavalry, he's too slow to be hunting many specific targets. If you're up against horde armies (as is the tendency nowadays), the hand is pretty unhelpful. I think giving him Ghyrstrike makes him something to be feared, but so is everything with Ghyrstrike. Without anything else though, he's unreliable at 300. Remember a Mangler is also 300, and just look at that thing's warscroll (and its synergy with other units!). I think his most damning feature is that other than his own command ability, there's no way to buff him. Everything in Gloomspite only affects grots or moonclan. Not saying he's terrible; just saying he should probably be a tad cheaper. People playing monster-focused armies usually have an uphill battle anyway.
  4. I agree with around 240 for the boss, maybe 180 for the regular ones. Too few regular attacks that have randomized damage, meaning a lot of the time you're going to end up whiffing that D6 damage. The crushing hand is nice but can only be valued depending on what faction you're facing.
  5. Hoping the Dankhold Troggboss comes down in points with the '19 GHB. He's not at all worth 300, especially with his average damage output, but I'll still use him because the model is great.
  6. Rather than Endless Spells, KO should get emplacements, like a gigantic artillery piece, a minefield, etc.
  7. Huh, that's something to think about. It could have just been, "Target an enemy unit."
  8. That would be great! Hear anything about new Ogor models, or just a tome?
  9. Oddly enough, I've never had my Khinerai break. Morathi, however...her spear (in either form) will break off during a stiff breeze.
