GnomeChomsky Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) Love the new holiday box. But am I the only one slighty miffed that they basically named it after the warscroll batallion we lost going into 3rd Ed?

Aelfric Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I'm just starting on my 2nd Dankhold Troggoth to make a unit of two. Theoretically, you can have a unit of three but since they aren't Battleline this seems no longer possible. Is there any errata or rule change that I've missed that does allow for a three-Trogg unit? I don't hold out much hope, but thought I'd ask anyway, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have zero experience with gloomspite but inlove the models Thanks It could work, you'd need to build one box of hoppers as hoppers to hit 3 battleline. it would end up something like this: Quote Allegiance: Gloomspite Gitz- Grand Strategy:- Triumphs:LeadersLoonboss on Mangler Squigs (270)- GeneralLoonboss on Giant Cave Squig (110)- Moon-cuttaLoonboss on Giant Cave Squig (110)- Moon-cuttaFungoid Cave-Shaman (95)Battleline12 x Squig Herd (140)12 x Squig Herd (140)10 x Squig Hoppers (180)Units5 x Boingrot Bounderz (105)5 x Boingrot Bounderz (105)BehemothsMangler Squigs (250)Mangler Squigs (250)Mangler Squigs (250)Total: 2005 / 2000Reinforced Units: 0 / 4Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 152Drops: 12 which is just above 2k. You'd probably drop the second loonboss on cave squig, and fill the remaining points with endless spells, upgrading some of the manglers to loonbosses, adding some snufflers &/or adding another shaman. It should work fine as far as gitz lists go, but I think the meta around squigs now is more spamming bounderz/herds. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gitzdee Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Hope these also turn out to be gitz. Maybe a boss and a shaman? A chariot, doomdiver and pumpwagon would be the dream. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Krungharr Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Oh they should definitely revive the pump wagon and doomdivers! If the 2nd hand Rockguts and Dankhold Boss are still at my FLGS on Monday, I think I'll pick them up. But with news of the Gitz tome, I fear they may have sold this weekend already 😛 New wolves look pretty slick. I know I like all the Troggs for brute force and they'll probably at worst stay how they are, but I expect them to get more help from heroes/auras or something too. And we know to get the Gitz up to the 50% win rate they'll be getting some buffs!?!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aelfric Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 I'm looking forward to seeing what they've done for sub-factions and how the Bad Moon works. Given that Troggs with 5 wounds or less can be brought back, I'm sort of expecting some Troggs to actually have 5 wounds, which would be nice. Really, all I hope is that there will be a variety of playable styles so I can use more of my models and have fun with them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasshpit Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) @Gitzdee No, remorse, no prisoners, no mercy!! Im not entirely sure that second RE pic is gloomspite. It could be FEC... @Aelfric 5 wounds would be awesome on troggs indeed! I was having a peek at Rippas Snarlfang warscroll and overall the damage wasn't too impressive. Im hoping they get a boost to the main kit. And they've got to get some kind of hero model, right? How else will they be battline? If anything at all I'd wager either a chariot or artillery piece will be their only other new release. Will Gitmob get its own sub-faction even? Damn, those models are juicy!🤤 Im already planning how to sculpt some armor onto rockguts to make them more cohesive. Imo the snarlfangs already look grest running next to ironjawz as allies. While you're at it, Geedubs, please update the fellwater kits. 😁 Edited November 20, 2022 by Vasshpit 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganigumo Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Something like the old marks of chaos could work for the moon. Each one could get a passive ability until the moon leaves the board entirely. (I.e squigs can run and charge) then an empowered effect while directly under the moon (i.e squigs can charge 3d6). Then each subfaction, or the army as a whole, could get a few abilities that are always on.(i.e reinforced units get bigger weapon reach). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I agree and think that Snarlfang Riders are going to get a Hero model announced on the New Years stream. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasshpit Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 @KingBrodd So many troggs, so little design time!! Heh. Think you're right. Think it'll be a more warrior focused character to compliment Skraggrotts magic theme. Hope its not Grom. New setting, new heros please. ✊ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aelfric Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Troggoth unit champions would be nice for using Command Abilities. For the Bad Moon, I'm hoping there's a little more consistancy; I don't mind a little bit of randomness - perhaps a roll to see how much of the battlefield is influenced or a Big Waaagh version of influencing the Moon. Just so long as it's not overly complicated. Sweet and simple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleansed of Chaos in the fires of the World That Was and retaining his intelligence leads the Trogg Herd that will drown the Realms in darkness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so long as it's not overly complicated. Sweet and simple. What could be cute is if trolls still don't get elite or a champion, but get the bonus and count as having recieved a random command each turn for free. They're too dumb to be leaders, but they still try to follow orders on their own schedule. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitzdee Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I would love a 5x Throggoth unit, updated Sourbreaths would be great. But i wouldnt complain about a completely new design. Would also love to see a new 20x Gitmob Grot mob unit with spears/bows to go along with the wolves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even see it as a Blood Bowl team per sé, just a designer making characterful snotlings and BB was the only logical place to put them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gitzdee Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) There is an old AoS warscroll for the pump wagon if u want to use them in casual games. Its in the Grand Alliance Destruction book. 70 points 4 Wounds 2D6 Move 6+save 10 bravery MISSILE WEAPONS Range Attacks To Hit To Wound Rend Damage Explodin’ Spores 6" 4 5+ 5+ -1 1 MELEE WEAPONS Range Attacks To Hit To Wound Rend Damage Pokin’ Sticks 1" 5 5+ 6+ - 1 Ram Spikes 1" 2D6 5+ 4+ -1 1 Pump Harder, Ladz: If you roll a double when determing this unit’s Move characteristic in your movement phase, this unit is pumped up until the end of your turn. You can re-roll charge rolls for pumped-up units, and you can add 1 to hit rolls for attacks made with Ram Spikes by pumped-up units. They seem really fun actually XD, might have to find some on 2nd hand market. Edited November 21, 2022 by Gitzdee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
