Trying to figure out what I want to proxy this week when I test the new CID. C+C on the below appreciated! Borka2 (27 BG Points) 75/75 Dire Troll Mauler -- (15) EBDT 2 (12) EBDT 14 Troll Axer 10
-----
Hooch Hauler 18
KrielStone(Max) 9
Northkin Elder Free
Battle Bears 9
Battle Bears 9
Valka Curseborn Free
Lanyssa 4
Everything except Lanyssa is Northkin. Bears can ambush or move up stealthed with Borka's snow spell. Lots of stuff hitting hard, Hooch Hauler to clear infantry and give stumbling drunk/ veteran leader. Between the Krielstone's new ability and Borka's Attuned Spirit ability, maybe we can make use of a max stone. New stone attachment + Lanyssa being allowed in theme = lots of threat range. Anyway that's the idea.  Thanks in advance for your thoughts! |

I went down a similar path!
Theme: Northkin
2 / 2 Free Cards 75 / 75 Army
Borka 2 - WB: +27
- Trollkin Runebearer - PC: 0
- Rok - PC: 19 (Battlegroup Points Used: 19)
- Earthborn Dire Troll - PC: 14 (Battlegroup Points Used: 8)
- Pyre Troll - PC: 9
- Troll Basher - PC: 8
Valka Curseborn - PC: 0
Lanyssa Ryssyl - PC: 4
Troll Whelps - 5 Whelps: 4
Northkin Fire Eaters - 7
Northkin Fire Eaters - 7
Northkin Bear Handler & Battle Bears - Leader & 2: 9
Northkin Bear Handler & Battle Bears - Leader & 2: 9
Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes - Leader & 5 Grunts: 9
- Northkin Elder - PC: 3
The Bears with stumbling drunk seem particularly amazing, and my list does not gain that added benefit.

Also looks good! I'm not sure how I feel about the new lights but I guess warrants testing. One note on your list: I think the new Northkin Elder is 4 points not 3?
Considering if in mine should swap one EBDT for 2x fire eaters. I guess depending on opponent.

I wasn't high on the lights either. I do want to get him on the board for that crit ability (and will test him with two in a doomie 2/3 list for sure).

Try the ice troll he is really good for 9 points. Pow 15 under new stone ca and 18 with rage he is Pow 16 in melee.Has a ranged attack AND crit stationary to boot! |

Try the ice troll he is really good for 9 points and is better than the basher at punching thanks to having cold damage on his melee spear too. Makes him Pow 15 under new stone ca and 18 with rage. Has a ranged attack AND crit stationary to boot! He does not have cold damage on his melee spear. Where did you get that idea? |

The pdf says: "critical freeze - see above"
so the ice troll has critical freeze and you can read the rules for critical freeze above unter the ranged weapon entry.
as you can see both weapons have an entry for critical freeze, but the melee weapon doesnt have entries for thrown or damage type: cold, there is no damage type: cold on his melee weapon in the pdf right now.

And this is a good thing. I would seriously hate for trolls beeing the only faction with access to a warbeast that could do absolutely no damage to a whole lot of models in the game.
