Hi Troll-sub-forum,
I did belief and kind of still am that Trolls do not need many models twice. At least not a lot. The common exception are definately bears, fire eaters, maybe Northkin shamans. Support pieces tend to go into lists twice in other factions, but with the stone we do not commonly double up on them. I always liked this about Trolls, as I do not like to own (especially not to be forced onto) replicas of models.
None the less, did I end up eventually getting some Warbeasts twice for cheap. This means that I now have two Bouncers, two Earthborns and the option of two Bombers (while keeping another Mauler!). I can now finally do all the funky builds that I always wanted to do! Or can I?
The thing is: I can hardly fit them into any list! Forget about Meta for now. PoD is fine for me. But if I fill my beasts, I often want Mulg (that kills Bomber 2), often need something shooty (kills Earthbron 2) often want Pathfinder from the Axer (makes it hard to fit in any Bouncer)and the Mauler is obligatory, making the points even shorter. So I need your help! What build would actually benefit from these doublers? I know about that Doomy2 list and maybe a second Bomber for Grissel2? What should I try?! What did you try?
Bonus: How feasable do you think, doubles are in Trolls? Are they more cornercase, are there any things that need to double up? How do you feel about using the same unit/solo/warbeast twice?
