Batch Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Thinking about how Gordrakk would work lately, may actually get one because Ive always wanted a Cabbage. Allegiance: DestructionMortal Realm: GhyranLeadersGordrakk the Fist of Gork (560)Orruk Warchanter (80)- Artefact: Wand of RestorationDankhold Troggboss (270)- General- Trait: Might is Right- Artefact: GhyrstrikeBattleline20 x Stabbas (130)- Pokin Spears & Moon Shields- 3x Barbed Nets- 1x Moonclan Flag Bearers20 x Stabbas (130)- Pokin Spears & Moon Shields- 3x Barbed Nets- 1x Moonclan Flag Bearers10 x Orruks (80)- Choppas & ShieldsUnits6 x Rockgut Troggoths (280)6 x Rockgut Troggoths (280)BattalionsTroggherd (180)Total: 1990 / 2000Extra Command Points: 1Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 131 The idea here is simply, turn 2 usually go full blender (pulverizer) and hopefully finish their bulk with the Troggs, have Gord deal with the backline after that and cap points, try and have the Warchanter keep up to Gord and give him that extra buff. Not a serious list by any means because after its blown its steam if it hasnt done its job Ive probably lost. But it still looks fun, and I want a Cabbage.

We needed to round up early so it was hard to say who would win. Anyway, as much as i would love a pure trogg-list I do understand the need of more bodies on the table. Many of the posts i see here talks about having a big unit of stabbas but what are your thoughts regarding squigs as screens/objective grabbers/tarpit? Purely for holding back field objectives (i.e. not seriously defending them) a min sized Squig Herd is fantastic for 70 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrocknerTheBear Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 @Batch you would need a third unit of troggs for the battalion but the idea of a souped up troggherd does sound pretty fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scythian Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 7 hours ago, SaJeel said: What do troggoths need to round out their army, or do you think point adjustment is enough Troggoths need an army that bathes in command points. Fungoids will cover that if you take 3 of them. Furthermore, they’ll be piggybacking the Troggoths to give them no battleshock. If you’re going to play Troggoths, play Troggoths. Once you start the including lots of grots or squigs, it kind of loses the theme of being a pure Troggoth army. In the end, it’s your army build though. Play what you’re going to enjoy or you’ll just end up dumping it. Trog on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broche Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 So I got the chance to play my first game with Gloomspite/Troggoth mix this week-end at the local league. Ended up with 2 win (vs Skaven and Ironjawz). Troggoth performed well as expected. I'm gonna tweak the list a bit, but overall most units performed their role save maybe for the giant who is still pretty bad (tough he did inflicted the killing wound on the Maw Krusha by falling on it lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scythian Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 This is my final list. Beat on an Idoneth Eel list pretty bad yesterday. My buddy vowed revenge, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weazel Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Any handy basic tips to keep in mind when playing Troggoths? I've yet to play many games (of AoS overall, long time 40k player tho), and seems I'm getting pummeled. Last game Durthu basically killed my whole list alone...

Sauriv Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Moonclan casters can use Itchy Nuisance to force someone to go last, thats really stong. In the case of durthu, if you are able to cast that spell on him you could focus him with 2 or 3 units to play around the stomp-ability. After durthu is hurt he quickly becomes weak. He also has few attacks so applying -tohit is also strong, with netters, fellwater, hag, hag's curse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem was I didn't really know Durthu was that strong and kinda rushed on him. My casters were left behind a wyldwood and couldn't see him at all to cast the spell on him. He just trashed my units one by one. Wasn't much of a problem for him to kill 4-6 Rockguts per combat phase. Next time I'll stay out of them woods, lol.

I played against Durthu on Wednesday with a moonclan grot list. It was meeting engagements (which I am not so sure about now as a format, thought it would be simpler and faster but it seems maybe more advanced, but that’s for another thread). Anyway, Durthu was nuts! I’ll have to plan entire lists around countering her now (and also for Mawcrushas and VLoZDs) but makes me think some MSU Squigs are needed as screening speed bumps. Also, we tend to play multiplayer Coalition and Triumph and Treachery games, so there’s VPs for doing wounds, which changes the calculus on horde units a bit. but yes, Itchy Nuisance is key, along with grot netters between fellwaters, and geminids should help counter Durthu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MirelurkCakes Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 What do people think is the best unit to just take one or two of to run around and grab objectives. I feel like we have 3 options; squig hoppers, spider riders or furies from the GHB mercenarys. Or are these all unnecessary and should we just stick with hand of gorking our guys around?

Honestly I'd use stabbas or shootas for that. With the +2 to run they up being reasonably fast (7+d6) and are good in terms of bodies and wounds. Plus they have the advantage of being useful chaff on the battleplans like Arcane Places of Power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprising little, they fit quite nicely on the necks. I did the front two ridges on this one and one on another but other than that just filling a few small gaps. You do need a reasonable sized blob underneath as there's a big gap there though Edited October 13, 2019 by HostilSpike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuinacridoneGold Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Hi guys! I'm a Seraphon player-collector and recently jumped on the crazy Gloomspite train. Could you help me build a close-to-competitive troggotths/grots list (1k and 2k if possible)? I want to buy some more Gloomspite mini but don't know what to look for Here are the models I have 60x Stabbas 9x Rockgut troggoths 9x Fellwater troggoths 5x Gobbapalooza (Fungoid Cave Shaman Proxy) 1x Dankhold Troggboss 1x Troggoth Hag 1x Skragrott 1xMollog's Mob Thank you very much!

I'd try and turn one of those Gobbapalooza's into a Spider Shaman as well. Put the Hag (with Gryphfeather), 9 fellwater, and a shaman casting sneaky distraction spell for HUGE minuses to hit. Hag would be -3 to hit. Fellwater would be -2. It has worked wonderfully for me. The second contingent of your army could work well with the Rockguts and the Dank Boss. Have them go kill stuff. Third group is the Stabbas and Skragrott tossing spells around. These are you home objective campers. Seems like you have everything you need to me! I run: Aracknarock Shaman (Headress + Sneaky Distraction) Hag (Gryhfeather) Dankboss 6 Rockgut 9 Fellwater 20 Stabbas Scuttletide Troggherd Battalion (not worth its points, but I need the extra artifact) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
