Hey guys, I'm new to the game. I bought most of the troll models to paint and now I'm looking to get into competitive play. I made a couple lists with different warlocks, can you guys give me tips on how to improve them/ if they are worth playing? All 3 are in the PoD theme Calandra Bomber x2 Runebearer (free) Mauler EBDT Bouncer Whelps x2 (1 free) Janissa Max Stone + UA Runeshapers --- Gunnbjorn Runebearer (free) Glacier King Bomber x2 Mauler Janissa(free) Whelps (free) Min stone + UA Dhunia Knot --- Dommy2 Mulg Bomber x2 Mauler Swamp Troll Janissa (free) Whelps x2 (free) Min Stone + UA Runeshapers --- Thanks Also,what is the general gameplan of trolls? Attrition? Do we win by assassination at all?

cool way to start the game I am not the best player, but Doomy2 mauler x2, earthborn, mulg, axer max stone + ua northkin shaman (or janissa or whelps) Free whelps Free Horge 1 Free Pyre troll Dhunia Knot Is a good way to start. ps. This list is stolen from the Arcane assist guys

The first two lists looks very reasonable. The Doomy 2 list is probably better with one Bomber at the most. Most players will play only melee beasts with him, but my list actually has one bomber cause i had a few spare points, and having SOME shooting is very good.
As for the troll playstyle it is indeed very attrition focused, but Grissel 2 is one of the strongest assassination casters in the game. Her with a couple of bombers and what ever else that floats your boat is also a good place to start if you want a more ranged and assassination focus to your play.

Hey thanks for the replies! Ravenfire, I like that list but I don't have Horgle1:(
And Trollock, makes complete sense with Doomy2, How about this instead:
Dommy2 Mulg Bomber Mauler x2 Troll Axer Runebearer Janissa (free) Whelps (free) Min Stone + UA Runeshapers Dhunian Knot .....
Unfortunately, I only bought Grissel 1, but Grissel2 looks awesome as an assassination warlock. Would she be good in a BoH list with fennblades?
Also, how good is Horgle 2?

There are approaches taking Grissel2 in PoD and in BoH. BoH is getting more and more interesting because it's kinda good against ghost fleet.

Unfortunately, I only bought Grissel 1, but Grissel2 looks awesome as an assassination warlock. Would she be good in a BoH list with fennblades? Also, how good is Horgle 2? Runebearers + Knot could be another heavy... [Theme] The Power of Dhunia (Doomshaper 2) Hoarluk Doomshaper, Rage of Dhunia [+27] - Dire Troll Bomber [19] - Dire Troll Mauler [15] - Dire Troll Mauler [15] - Earthborn Dire Troll [15] - Mulg the Ancient [19] - Troll Axer [10] Troll Whelps [0(4)] FREE SOLO [0(4)] FREE SOLO [0(4)] Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes (min) [6] - Stone Scribe Elder [3] not having 75 points of beasts for 3 free solos feel like a waste, especially for doomy how does absolutely nothing to support runeshapers. If you want a list that handles infantry better, you can split a Mauler in to a Swamp + Night troll, but it is probably better to just drop your other list.
