This is not a competitive list. (None of mine ever really are, and I'm still new to trolls...) But it seemed kind of weird, and it was fun, and it came three boxes short of killing two Hyperions (before I got my caster killed, alas) so it definitely put out some damage. So I thought I'd share.
I dusted off Vassal for the first time in years to get a game in during the quarantine. Wanting to minimize the amount of models I had to deal with, I threw together my first attempt at a trolls beast-heavy list. I had been playing a Madrak1 infantry swarm and it seemed kind of fiddly for a Vassal novice. My new list looked like:
Doomy Somebody-or-Other, who seemed good at beasts.
Power of Dhunia
Mulg
Mauler
3xBomber
Axer
2xDhunian Archon
Troll Whelps
Feralgeist
Dhunian Knot
And the more I looked at that, the more I realized I was _really_ going to miss Madrak1's DEF boost, and his feat stopping charges. So I threw Doomy out and put Madrak back in. Running a beast-heavy list with a Fury 5 caster, which felt insane. But there is a lot of Fury mitigation in there, so I went for it. My opponent - also wanting to minimize model count - brought 3 huge bases: 2 shooty colossals and a grav tank battle engine thingy. Literally his entire army was immune to blast damage, and I had 3 Bombers. Yay? But man, enough Bombers with Rage can do some work in melee. Like I said, I nearly cleared the board, but I could never lay a finger on his caster, and I just couldn't quite keep mine alive long enough. Madrak's DEF bonus saved me more times than I can count. Again, I don't expect to play competitively with it but I gotta ask, is he a thing with a beast-heavy list? Or did I just luck into a good run?
Anyways, fun silly list. Stay safe out there guys.
