Hello there dragonites.
I'm a Ret and Troll player. My question to you all is this; What do you not want to see across the table when facing Trolls or Retribution?

Really? Huh. I wouldn't have guessed that to be one of the answers. Would you be willing to elaborate a bit?

My local troll guy got really into the Northkin CID thing, so I can safely say I'm not at all looking forward to seeing MMM come back. Champs with Arcane Ward and some terrain to hide in are impossible to remove. Ditto on the Northkin raiders. As for as things that are not fake rules, the GK and MK are still really tough to deal with, EBDTs, Ragnor/Doomy3 stuff. Any Doomy actually.
As for Ret, Manticores make me irate. Gargossals are in the same category as above though less frustrating in REt than trolls. Rahn. Kaelyssa.
Grain of salt though as I tend to play Infantry heavy Legion unlike most.

I am currently theorycrafting to counter rahn in ret. I may have found an answer with the twins.
Isyyria is way more powerful than people give her credit for.
Imperatus is extremely survivable and respectable warjack.
Ive fought every flavor of dawnguard sentinal and they are a tough jigsaw puzzle of death.
Multiple Manticores are the bane of infantry lists.
I hate mage hunter assasins and nayl because he is a super annoying thorn in my side.
Im looking forward to facing more trolls and recently faced madrak 1 who is quite strong.

Sorry couldn't resist. I honestly don't see enough ret or trolls in the meta to really be concerned about them. As long as I have a competitive pairing they both feel like playable factions. Although things like the space tick and imperatus for ret, and the doomies for trolls. Ret has a good amount of quality shooting, which is always a concern for us.

Doomy. Any trollbloods gargantuan.

Any layered caster protection, like guard dog and shield guard. I dont fear either matchup because my lists often assassinate well into them.

A hard timewalk like Ragnor's feat is really problematic for Legion.
similarly we do not like to out-threatened like Doomie2. Getting the alpha matters for Legion, so when trolls catch us out it's not pretty.
For ret Issyria is always scary, but the ones that give me fits are Rahn and Ossyan. Rahn because he's just Rahn, and just like Legion he always has a scary assassination on the table, and Ossyan because he can feat and just delete our alread-squishy beasts from range.

Thank you all for answering my question! Honestly I wasn't expecting such fantastic feedback. Goes to show how awesome the Warmahordes community is.
