So just like chocolate Ragnor too is best served as PoDding . And i have been runing this list with good results in local backyard meta but I'm really interested about how you all are doing it? Also probably good to add that i mainly play steamroller games so there is another list to cover weaponmaster spam. Aand there is lots of cygnar here and everyone and their mothers run nemo3 and/or lances in some form. Trollbloods Army - 75 / 75 points [Theme] The Power of Dhunia (Ragnor 1) Ragnor Skysplitter, The Runemaster [+30] - Dire Troll Bomber [19] - Dire Troll Bomber [19] - Dire Troll Mauler [15] - Earthborn Dire Troll [15] - Earthborn Dire Troll [15] - Storm Troll [9] - Trollkin Runebearer [0] Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes (min) [6] - Stone Scribe Elder [3] Janissa Stonetide [0] Troll Whelps [0] Troll Whelps [4]

I like the storm in theory against cygnar, but he will also never kill anything since they are immune to lightning too. Wouldnt a Bouncer be as good or better? They still will not shoot down Ragnor at DEF 20 and with a shield guard if need be, and the Bouncer is hilariously hard to kill with the feat up. Not sure...

I agree with Trollock, in many ways the bouncer is probably the best option with Ragnor, the immunities are not so much of an issue in this edition and you can deal with e-leaps with good placement much more effectively. You may also want to consider swapping an Earthborn and a solo or a Bomber for an Axer and a second bouncer. As it stands your battlegroup will be very disadvantaged in terrain heavy tables and split scenarios with the low model count.

I second the call for an Axer. One thing I learned quickly playing Ragnor is his army is hard to kill, but painfully slow unless you provide it speed options. With the Axer you get that boost of speed which could be the difference between making an alpha strike or taking an alpha strike.

Even thou storm troll has it uses in fights that are not cygnar. I think both of you made good points so going to test list with little update tonight and see how it goes. I have been probably playing too safe before or been traumatized by ponies used as leap platform . OUT: - Earthborn , Storm troll IN: - Double Bouncer + Knot

My second favorite trollblood list of all times is Ragnor in PoD. Sadly it doesn't hold a candle to "My Olde Grissel1 List of Total Awesome Super Destruction" but that doesn't work in Mk3. (Ragnor 1) Ragnor Skysplitter, The Runemaster [+30] - Mountain King [36] - Glacier King [35] - Earthborn Dire Troll [15] - Troll Axer [10] - Trollkin Runebearer [0] Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes (min) [6] - Stone Scribe Elder [3] Janissa Stonetide [0] Troll Whelps [0] That beeing said, I se an amazing case for running dual bomber with him if you don't go down the gargantuan path with him. Your list looks neat.

Quick update on list dojo, have gone 3-0 with it so far and i think it has legs in local backyard meta . 1 game against kaya2 with all dem wolfs, 1 game against new cygnar player playing sloan with 4 hunters and another cygnar game against striker1 witch was slugfest. Double bouncer have really worked for me and the bombers! BOMBERS i tell you! getting something done before engaging or crippling heavy before trades happen have been so amazing.

My favourite list with Ragnor is this Ragnor [+30] - Trollkin Runebearer [0] - Mountain King [36] - Glacier King [35] - Troll Axer [10] Trollkin Runeshapers [9] Trollkin Runeshapers [9] Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes (min) [6] Janissa Stonetide [0] Troll Whelps [0] This was my last list but I think I need more range of stone. The other option it's out the Axer and put the full stone with au in this case lost the Rush, I dont know if I can live with it

I'm currently thinking about changing my Ragnor list a little. I have the following thoughts. Fixed list: Ragnor Min Stone + Elder 3 free solos (1 whelps. Either Janissa + runebearer, Janissa + Shaman or double Shaman) (45 points) Battle group alternatives: A: Mountain King, Sea King, Earthborn Dire Troll B: Mountain King, Earthborn, Bomber, Axer, Storm Troll and either a Night Troll or Dhunian Knot C: Mountain King, Bomber, Bomber, Storm Troll, Dhunian Knot, Max Stone and an additional solo.

I've been giving this some more thought now, and I'm really warming up to the idea of the Sea King in this list. Yes, I lose access to rush, but that's ok since it's good but not mandatory. On the other hand, I gain 4" melee with higher pow and a gun that can clear out more infantry than the Glacier King can. Also, when going first, it's now not only possible but quite probable to get a SPD 7 earthborn to charge something and then having him be DEF 14 ARM 20(22) with Ragnor's feat up, making him an even bigger hurdle to overcome than he already is. This warrants testing.
Trollbloods Army - 75 / 75 points [Theme] The Power of Dhunia
(Ragnor 1) Ragnor Skysplitter, The Runemaster [+30] - Earthborn Dire Troll [15] - Mountain King [36] - Sea King [42] - Trollkin Runebearer [0] Janissa Stonetide [0] Troll Whelps [0] Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes (max) [9] - Stone Scribe Elder [3]
edit: With this type of build I might even go min stone without elder to fit in the Dhunian Knot. Hmm...

I built this the other day. I haven't played it yet. What do you guys think of pairing him with Doomy 2 in ADR? conflictchamber.com/#b71b_-0bfL0r0r9D5-0hbL7d6R0k0m6n6nTrollbloods Army - 75 / 75 points [Theme] The Power of Dhunia (Ragnor 1) Ragnor Skysplitter, The Runemaster [+30] - Dire Troll Bomber [19] - Dire Troll Bomber [19] - Dire Troll Mauler [15] - Earthborn Dire Troll [15] - Troll Axer [10] - Trollkin Runebearer [0] Janissa Stonetide [0] Troll Whelps [0] Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes (min) [6] - Stone Scribe Elder [3] Trollkin Runeshapers [9] Trollkin Runeshapers [9]

looks interesting. Do you think Ragnor can manage with just 1 unit of whelps if those bombers start racking up fury?
