Thanks!! I like the Axer thought. I have been going back and forther between the Champ and second Fell Caller. Additional spray Pathfinder and +Mat is definitely worthwhile. Retaliation on P+S 14 weaponmasters just seems so good. Probably a better with the FC though...

Looking for some veteran guidance here. I feel that this list may be too “general”; it does a little bit of everything but excels at nothing so I’m struggling to find a partner for it as I feel my offlist has to cover a lot. My thinking right now is Doomy3 in Power of Dhunia (another all ‘rounder) or Gunny1 to cover shooting weakness.
Is this just hot garbage?

Coming over to Trolls from Legion.
Planning to focus on Madrak1 primarily (unsurprising I suppose). In trying to come up with a decent pairing I’m looking to either Ragnor or Doomy3 in PoD.
Jarl is really interesting in SotN as well, just think it’s too similar to Madrak.

I thought "That sounds like a good idea," then I did some tinkering and came up with something I quite like the look of: conflictchamber.com/#c7201b_-0bj10r9Djp7h0hjqfJfJ0Ofl0k0mTrollbloods Army - 75 / 75 points [Theme] The Power of Dhunia (Kolgrima 1) Kolgrima Stonetruth, Winter Witch [+28] - Dire Troll Bomber [19] - Dire Troll Mauler [15] - Mulg the Ancient [22] - Storm Troll [9] - Troll Axer [10] - Trollkin Runebearer [0(5)] Northkin Shaman [0(4)] Northkin Shaman [0(4)] Farrow Brigands (max) [15] - Farrow Brigand Warlord [4] Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes (min) [6] - Stone Scribe Elder [3] If this is betting too much on guns, the Bomber and Storm could be 2x Earthborn instead. In fact, I might try that first. I love it!! I have something similar to your more melee oriented list. However, I hadn’t considered the Brigands. They could really work with Prey and -2DEF from Cursed Fate. Nice touch.

Thinking more about this last night and I like her in PoD more as well. As you have both pointed out she really wants an arc node for her range 10 spells (I don’t want to play her that far forward). Her clouds are also more effective covering a smaller force.
I’ll be curious to hear feedback from actual gameplay with her.

Thanks for the feedback, it’s a good point.
My reasoning was to take advantage of Hunter’s Mark and Rush to put a decent threat range and some bite in to the list.
With the Runebearer I’m thinking of laying down up to four 3” clouds and hope to adjoin them to the existing middle table LOS blocking terrain prevelant in SR2017.
The longriders are my real question mark. I’m wondering if those points would be better served elsewhere.
Really all theorycraft ATM as I won’t have the models ‘til later this month and try it out

That's a really interesting list, I'll have to take a closer look when I have a chance, being new to the faction the synergies don't always jump out at me.
Also interesting that I was actually thinking of pairing her with ravenfire/trollock's Grim1 list. It seems to deal with heavy arm slow moving infantry. While Kolgrima in BoH seems decent in to gunlines and recurring infantry.
Final thought: gdnerd, it was actually your Doomy2, Gunny1 lists that got me looking at Trolls. I like the aggressive play style and hadn't really thought of them in that way before!!

Making the move to Trollbloods and hadn’t seen a lot of attention given to her on the forum.
She seems to have a really solid toolkit. Threat extensions, MATfixer (Cursed Fate). Clouds for screening on the approach. I’m thinking she’d look good with a double Champion unit in either BoH or StoN. Probably equally well in PoD.
Any reason for a lack of love? Just too new?

Depends,
I played in a double warlock event whereby if you lost one of them it was an assassination victory. I paired Lylyth3 + Vayl2. Really hard to keep two casters safe from that pair with an assassination list.
