I was hoping to get some perspective from some veteran players here regarding the Doomy 2 PoD lists going around. I have created my own version below and wanted to see if I was thinking properly about its strengths and weaknesses and what may pair well with it. I have played it, enjoyed it and won with it.
War Room Army
Trollblood - PoD Min Stone
Theme: The Power of Dhunia
3 / 3 Free Cards 75 / 75 Army
Hoarluk Doomshaper, Rage of Dhunia - WB: +27
- Trollkin Runebearer - PC: 0
- Mulg the Ancient - PC: 19 (Battlegroup Points Used: 19)
- Dire Troll Bomber - PC: 19 (Battlegroup Points Used: 8)
- Earthborn Dire Troll - PC: 15
- Dire Troll Mauler - PC: 15
- Dire Troll Mauler - PC: 15
- Troll Axer - PC: 10
Troll Whelps - 5 Whelps: 0
Janissa Stonetide - PC: 0
Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes - Leader & 3 Grunts: 6
- Stone Scribe Elder - PC: 3
Strengths
When I thought through this list I considered the Dash concept I read about on battlecollege. DASH being an acronym for Defense, Armor, Speed & Horde (or simply high numbers of jamming troops). One of the reasons this list works well is it seems to cover these issues well.
Defense - wild aggression and decent Mat.
Armor - rage.
Speed - +3 on feat turn and +2 from axer.
Horde - overtake.
Defensively the amor provided by the stone keeps your things alive while psycho surgery keeps things functional even with lots of damage trading.
Weaknesses
This is where I need some help from vets. I have not played enough to pick up on what this list will not pair well against and why. I have been trying to create a good list to pair against it, and have seen some discussion around good list pairs, but still don't understand why. What weaknesses are they specifically trying to cover? If it's another factions specific list could an in depth answer be given explaining what about that other factions list needs answering?
Thanks in advance!
