Her next purchase should be one (not all, not even several, but definitely at least one) of the following: Stalker Gorax Shifting Stones + UA Megalith Bloodtrackers Good, relatively simple Warlocks that make anything good: pBaldur, pKrueger Good with beast-heavy livings: eKaya, Kromac, eBaldur Good with beast-heavy wolds: pBaldur, eBaldur, pKrueger Complicated but awesome: eKrueger, Cassius, pretty much everyone else

Real quick--it isn't just a rumor, they outright said it. Gun Mage, Bane Knight, and Greylord cav are all confirmed, and Idrian cav are implied in Colossals.

JerryLee posted:So if the speculation is that each faction will get one new caster, does that mean the new Morvahna is it for Circle for the foreseeable future? Since no-one seems to have answered your question, my general impression is that they do about a book a year. I think Gargantuans is early 2013, with possibly another book late 2013? Bear in mind that there's other non-caster options coming, like the Skinwalkers UA, plus there's a picture of a new satyr model floating around.

We know the Gargantuans book is only giving each faction 1 new Warlock, so we won't be seeing new Warlocks until 2014.

Flipswitch posted:Seeing as she only has the starterbox and has just looked at the book mainly, she like the Bloodtrackers (oh bollocks) and definately some of the non-construction beasts. She likes the stone dudes too though. I guess basically, what is the best/easiest way to branch out of the battlebox without having to buy a truck load of things? Probably eKaya. eKaya and the 3 warbeasts that come in the battlebox is exactly 15 points (and not awful). pBaldur next up, but could benefit from buying either some blood-trackers or a ton of constructs. pKreuger is in the same boat with wanting some unit infantry or stuff to spam Geomancy with, not just the mass war-beasts that you get with the starting box.

Can anyone give me a quick summary of each Troll caster? I still can't decide what kind of army I want to go for. All I know so far is "Both Doomshapers are for beast-heavy".

His fluff is excellent. He looks like he's almost entirely infantry focused, with Iron Flesh and Mosh Pit, and a pretty decent beatstick himself. Or am I totally off-mark. (e)Waaaaait. Barroom Blitz not only gives extra movement, but means beasts can make power attacks without forcing and get added dice on those power attacks? That's a legit bar brawl, with everyone being thrown around the board. Oh my

I also dug this up from like a hundred pages ago, because I used it when I was starting Trolls:Alpha Phoenix posted:High-five, I just started trollblood fairly recently. pMadrak is pretty sweet though with beasts, lots of good defensive abilities. The only problem is he never mentions the pure awesomeness that is Borka.

^^^ Flipswitch, Those are called Skillshots. You don't play trolls unless you are confident in your ability to toss down clutch 5s and 6s on attacks / tough rolls. Here, let me complete that list: Borka is a drunk slob. If you like drunk slobs staggering around, go hog wild. He's an angry drunk, and drinking beer literally increases his fury [no, literally. it's in his mechanics]. He's hard to shoot and turns the entire battlefield into a barfight. (#1 clutch tactic is to make him unable to be knocked down, and 2-handed throw him at the enemy war* to assassinate them. Do this at every opportunity) Grissel literally nerfs your army by firing your #1 support piece and being dramatically mediocre at everything. eGrissel is worse. Also, some updates: Jarl is a cross between Simo Hayha and Robin Hood. He owns. He owns bones. Holy poo poo Calandra cheats like I don't even know I googled 'things that cheat' and couldn't find a good analogy. Ever get a win by dicing your opponent? SHE DOES THAT EVERY GAME.

She wants the Kriel Warriors usually because they do not need the MAT buff of the Fellcaller as often, along with Long Riders for a similar reason.

This reassures me that I'm on the right track, when I compare it to the 15 point list I was making for Borka, and they look very similar. System: Hordes Faction: Trollblood Casters: 1/1 Points: 15/15 Borka Kegslayer (*5pts) * Troll Axer (6pts) Krielstone Bearer and 3 Stone Scribes (3pts) * Krielstone Stone Scribe Elder (1pts) Trollkin Fennblades (Leader and 9 Grunts) (8pts) Stone Scribe Chronicler (2pts)

Not really, all Borka has to do is upkeep Iron Flesh and maybe cast Mosh pit. That being said, I do agree that he should have at least 1 heavy.

So in a 50 point team tournament, what is the best Cygnar + Trollblood comedy combo? I'm thinking pHaley + Mountain king for +3 ARM, MAT/RAT 7 and no charges. Or Gunnbjorn + Kara for Deadeye and Snipe trading.
