As title. I was looking through our beasts, and noticed that we don't have any with long leash. While it doesn't make sense lore-wise for our heavies to have it (being among the most aggressive warbeasts around), the lore suggests that regular trolls at least can actually live in trollkin villages with little risk to the villagers and that they're even capable of minute amounts of speech. It seems like that level of docility would indicate that they'd be easier to control than other beasts (which IIRC is how Long Leash works in the fluff). So what do you all think, could/should trolls get some long leash beasts?

I would be really nifty, though it would not be super useful on something like a bouncer or axer. they want to stay in the middle of things to use shield guard or cast their animus on other thing. It would be very useful on the night troll, or in fact most elemental lights.
one can always wish...

It probably won't happen, but does seem like a cool idea.
Maybe that's something they could eventually do with the Night Troll... like Long Leash + Ambush, represent it coming out of a cave somewhere or what-have-you.

Having it on a Night Troll would really, really help the Power of Dhunia theme. Having a piece that could range out from the brick would help combat a lot of the scenario issues that that theme has.

There were several people who wanted that for the Night Troll, but it got other buffs instead.

Night Troll + long leash. How long have we been 'longing' for that?!
It would be a 'compelling reason' AND gets one more model out from the yoke of the KSB aura...

Maybe some kind of air elemental troll? Give it flight too!

I say the entire troll community just play the night troll as if it had long leash till PP forgets it doesn't and updates war room accordingly

Yeah I'm not convinced a long leash Troll beast would work.
It feels like it would need to be good on it's own, but not be better in the brick with all our buffs. Maybe if it had Spell ward (so we couldn't give it rage) or something.

The Battle Bears are probably as close a thing to a beast with Long Leash we will get/need. They seem to fulfil the same role pretty much, but basically better than any current troll light would.

Not to rain on the night troll idea but... Khador doesn't have it, Circle doesn't have it, Mercs/Minions don't have it, CoC doesn't have it, Protectorate doesn't have it, Ret doesn't have it...
Cryx, Cygnar, Grymkin and Legion are the only ones that do...
