Dankboss

Retreat and charge is a game winning rule because you cannot be bogged down, and always have the opportunity to leave combat to focus on a more pressing combat, usually on an objective. It also indirectly lets you cover more ground.

It's for the best that you don't take Aleguzzlers, even the regular Dankhold is better than him.

You can still cast Nightshroud because it targets a friendly model. #secretmeta

Regular Dankholds can't be returned unfortunately. They really needed a +1 to their attack characteristic buff to make them good from the new subfaction. To make them even more irrelevant, Fellwaters and Rockguts can receive their 4+ spell save which is what made them somewhat relevant.

If he had the mancrusher keyword too then he would have had some potential.

I run 2 units of 3 to sure up my flanks.

Fellwaters are good in 3s as skirmishers.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/10/16/forge-world-bommers-and-bonegrinders/ Bonegrinder is updated. He has an actual club! Other than that, he's bland but okay. Edit: No, he's junk. He has no impact hits or Hero keyword.

#Troggrevolution I reckon the only Trogg build that will be potentially high tier competitive is your streamlined build of all Rockguts, although that's not to say more mixed lists can't work well enough. Personally, an army made up of one unit is not my style though.

'Rocks Fall and Everyone Dies' list.

It was discussed on Facebook and iirc it was in Poland, if I come across it I'll let you know.

I think in some armies they could work. I like Grunnock for the massive -1 to hit he projects.

It is, but it's also more efficient as a Hero due to their 35 wounds than other options. I reckon they'll be decent.

I reckon the Mega Gargants will see more use as a merc, as they're decent individually. As an army, I'm not convinced, but solo they can bring something to the table for other armies. For example, providing consistent rend -2 in StoD.

Now that we're out of the phase of giving every army an aos 2.0 book (DoK, Idk etc were written with 2.0 in mind), I imagine we won't be seeing new tomes for a while so they can focus on expansions.

Yep, so this latest White Dwarf has a Troggoth subfaction

Entirely down to whether you want the 4 drop or the 5 drop. Personally I'd prefer 2 lots of 20, but my regular opponent is often a 4 drop too.

Here's the list I'm going to run. I dropped the Madcap and Skrapskuttles for 20 more grots. Dankhold Troggboss: 250 Trait: Shepherd of Idiotic Destruction Artefact: Glowy Howsit Troggoth Hag: 380 Artefact: Aetherquartz-Studded Hide Fungoid Cave Shaman: 90 Spell: The Hand of Gork 6 Rockgut Troggoths: 280 6 Rockgut Troggoths: 280 3 Fellwater Troggoths: 150 3 Fellwater Troggoths: 150 40 Stabbas: 260 Stomping Megamob: 160 4 drops 2000/2000

I'm not sure it actually will, seeing as it's WD. I've not heard of it being done before for a tome celestial. However, I'm not going to pretend like this is legit. I will defend Oblivious to Sorcery as that's reasonable.

Because it never could resurrect single models before, however, it is legal to have a unit of 1 Rockgut Troggoth for 140 points, so technically, it would work then as well.

Technically.

12 sounds unwieldy, but then you'd be left with just 3 on their own if you reduced it. The Hag is okay, but requires space in the list building to account for other things first, like screens. However, as pointed out in the Gloomspite thread, the Hag is a legitimate target for Hidden Troggholes, so can come back on a 4+

See, it's reasonably sound that she can be the target of Oblivious to Sorcery, that seems fine to me, but therefore she is also legally able to be brought back as per the matching keywords. The only fix is to change the wording on the Loonshrine to be Fellwater Troggoths (not bolded).

It's an oversight, probably, but RAW is legit.

AHAHAHA you're actually right, the rules are keyworded, not as names, and the Hag has those keywords. RAW, yes, yes you can, and I don't think White Dwarf gets FAQs either.
