I think I had only one pyre Troll and somehow fit double War Wagon in there. I also had thumpers as my freebies instead of Fel Callers. Well the CA would also be a freebie if the Wagons counted, which I'm pretty sure they are supposed to and Conflict Chamber is in error. Did you have one unit of Sluggers or two? Other than that, pretty accurate?

Ghost fleet would hate to see scattergunners with a sorcerer. If infantry lists come back strong those guys are no joke.
Would they though? Seems like GF could shoot our infantry off the board fairly easily. Magic attacks are helpful, but most of the incorporeal stuff is going to have a high enough DEF, where Scattergunners are going to struggle to hit. 8's for Blackbanes, 9's for pistol wraiths & 10's for the Hellslinger. You'll probably get a couple revenants, but without RFP, I think your gonna have a bad time.
Against other non-recursion infantry, Scattergunners will have game for sure. Add in a hit buff and your in an even better spot.

Yeah, that will definitely do. I played that composition a fair amount in MkII. Granted, it was a fairly dedicated cryx drop.

Since it is widely accepted that trollbloods are bottom of the pack I wonder if the Dev team will allow us to comment and critique some of the models that won't be in the CID. Personally, I felt the the UKC was very underwhelming as far as options but it was said several times on facebook that we didn't get all the models spoiled. It was just listed mainly cause the battle engine needed a theme.
I do hope they allow us to look over champions, warders, and some of the command attachments. I definitely hope they allow us to discuss impaler and the other plethora of low MAT/RAT troll light warbeasts.

It's not likely any of the beasts will show up (outside of maybe the winter and impaler in relation to the new Icicle Troll if it's seen as a straight upgrade,) but Champions are almost guaranteed to be in the CID, seeing as they are northkin (skaldi.)

If Borka2 is going in, think there's a decent chance of Rok accompanying? Glacier King is also Ice-related. Eh?

His main problem is everyone is playing themes and no one wants to play either borka. With the Borka2 rework, expect to see a lot more of him. Glacier King similarly has a place but just isn't in vogue atm as the MK typically fits better with what people want to play.

Also, with the recent trend it's fairly likely that we'll see Rok as an option outside of borka in the Northkin theme.

I dont really think it matters what theme benefits there is, but if i could play Doomy 2 with Rök and get anykind of bonus, that list is probably bonkers
I am SERIOUSLY consideringplaying Doomy 2 outside PoD again just to get access to Rök. He is ALMOST worth the 33 (effective) points i think.

But at that point, spend 3 more for a mountain king and keep your free upkeeps and extra threshold. ...or spend 9 more points and get that sweet sweet Sea King!

Wish you luck, guys. I hope that you can save as many bad models you have.

I know, but i think that the overtake + berserk might actually be ALMOST good enough, especially in a meta where infantry exist. Rök already punches basically as hard as a MK against single targets (better accuracy but one less POW), but if there is infantry his offensive output is just insane. Defensively, he is obviously way worse, but my point is that if you can get some free points from the theme (from things like Fire Eaters or the new battle engine or what ever) Rök would start costing less and less effective points and look more and more attractive. Doomy only really supports beasts, but i would probably bring FEs with him if i could do it in PoD. The free upkeeps are not super important for him, and remember that Northkin will have some benefits beside free points too. It COULD work damnit!
