That's it, if PP has seriously run out of design space for us. Let's steer them into give us bear heavy's

Why do you think they've run out of design space for trolls? I've got a bunch of ideas, and I'm not even that good at this game.

Because they have basically said as much in the past Can you cite a source on that? I don't keep up on the dev talks too much. I think that there's plenty that could be done. Elemental Heavies are an option, light trolls with higher tech weapons, an armored dire troll (think clamjack but blue and angry). If they gave us a new chassis to build off of that would open up a lot of space as well. I've seen a "young dire troll" chassis discussed before. |

I also thought of something in the same design space as the Clamjacks, a big ol' stone troll or something with bulky rocks on it that can curl up and roll, so give it something like +x" when running, but it just holds position when it gets there. There's lots of space to explore.

There's lots of space to explore. I was trying to use shielded fists, but with dire troll stats, that ARM gets a little high. ARM 26 closed up under stone is probably too much. I like the idea of a stone troll that curls up and rolls around. Makes me think of Sonic the Hedgehog. I'd really love to see elemental heavies. A character heavy slag troll for Horgle2 would be awesome. If we had a chassis with slightly reduced base ARM and maybe lower STR or POW on the claws. Then you can build it up again with shields, armor, or weapons. I think it'd be a good way to open up some new design for our beasts. |

As long as we're wishing,a character light swamp troll with bounding leap would be hilarious and maybe not entirely broken.

I have an idea for a character warbeast for Grissel. He's a heavy named Mincemeat. He is dumber than a bag of hammers but fiercely loyal. He has a giant hammer that he tore off of a colossal and wields it two-handed. So he only has one initial attack and that's kind of the downside to his advantages elsewhere for the low point cost of 13, like ARM 19, 2-inch melee, crit smite on the hammer, and base damage 18. The bond lets Grissel cast an animus or one spell on him for free once per turn. His FURY is 4 and his animus is Rush.

Other than that I think Mincemeat sounds fantastic. Is he supposed to be a light or a heavy? Here's what I was thinking for Horgle's Beast:
RockbiterTrollblood Heavy WarbeastSPD 5 STR 12 MAT 6 RAT 6 DEF 12 ARM 18 CMD 6 Immunity: Corrosion FURY: 4 Threshold: 8 Acid BombRNG 10 ROF 1 AOE 3 POW 14 Continuous Corrosion, Corrosion Damage Claw x2 RNG 1 POW 3 P+S 15 Open Fist Rockbiter
Regeneration Snacking Quick Work Bond: Gains Snipe on his ranged weapon. Acid Bomb
Erosion, leaves a scather template for 1 round. Reload [1] Claw
Erosion Animus- Counterblast Probably going to have to be on the expensive side all things considered. |

Speaking of elemental heavies, a dire pyre has to be a thing. I mean, come on! Give it a spray, maybe a burning log/torch. Animus stolen from the new wicker dude in Circle. Would go really nicely with the Fire Eaters with that animus.

We already have a better version of it on the swamp troll. It's literally the exact same wording except ignores immunity to fire. Though I agree, castigator attack was another idea for it. |
