Hello everyone, i'm new to these forums and to trollbloods. I've been playing warmahordes for almost 6 years and have owned considerably sized factions in Khador, Circle, and dabbled in Cryx prior to Trolls. I have a friend who wants me to buy a troll collection of his and I must say that I absolutely love the models. Medium bases are so much more enjoyable to paint and I love that trolls are the only real "good guys" in the game. I've been dojoing a bunch of lists and I have been trying to wrap my brain around what is troll's best retribution drop. Some of the best players in my meta play the double sentinel kaelyssa list with the Issyra pair. If you're not tooled to handle it you will just get pasted. Do you guys have any recommendations on what you like to drop to deal with sentinels? Here were some of my thoughts.
Gunnbjorn:
While you don't have any anti stealth which is hard for feat turn you still have some tools that are really good against sentinels. Dozer and Smig can get to the back line and puts Kaelyssa at risk. If you put a mountain king you can do some damage with two fully boosted spray 10s at pow 16. Sentinels really don't like how pow sprays because they have to bunch up so much. Also crit dev on Gunny can really mess with what they want to do. Also, shutting down shooting seems really good against what Kaelyssa/Issyra wants to do.
Horgle2:
Light everything on fire and go to work with sluggers or scattergunners on his feat? Seems good but he has so many upkeeps which Ret can get rid of with ease. Also not sure how you keep Horgle alive with Phantom Hunter on the table.
Jarl:
I like that the clouds on his feat turn can keep the sentinels from charging and Jarl has the ability to remove up to 4 a turn if you get hot rolls on damage. Also the idea of fennblades with quicken getting the charge on the sentinels seems good with cleave. However he is super upkeep heavy which Ret laughs at and he has the same problem with staying alive to shooting.
Grim2:
This may be crazy but I had an idea of Grim2 putting down mage sight and mortality, feating, and then sentinels getting oblierated by 2 units of sluggers?
Doomie3:
Just put the mountain king up there with the feat and stone and see if he can survive the charge? Also in PoD I like the idea of two units of Runeshapers doing work with Doomie3's mini feat scroll. Knocking down sentinels makes them very sad, especially if you can do it at range.
Anyways, that's my initial ramblings, what are your lists, or lists in your pair that you have to deal with Retribution?
Thanks in Advance.
