In my opinion Kolgrima will still be our primary caster just because of her toolbox and synergy with SoTN. I would love to hear how the other lists played out and if they were as strong as expected or if they felt stronger or weaker. In my current pairing considerations i need a caster to play into melee troops at best in BoH for Takedown and one list to play into all the shooty stuff.

For me the doomshaper3 list sounds a bit wiered but it seem to work for him. Ambushing bears to fear the opponent sounds nice but i am interested in how this pairing was designed or if its a wtc matchup where you are able to pick the opponents.

Some interesting results. Kolgrima by far the most played caster at the WTC for trolls 31 out of maximal 48 games Kolgrima was picked.
David Gustafsson (Sweden Ombudsman) playing Madrak1 () Kolgrima (Iona W,Kallus2 L,Durrant2 W,Kallus1 W,Harbi L,Rashesh L) 4-2
John Henry (Canada Gose) playing Calandra (Zaal1 W, Skarre3 W) Doomshaper3 (Garryth2 L,Kreos1 W,Garryth2 W,Kolgrima W)5-1
Julian Lesorge (France Panaromix) playing Grim1(Harbi L) Kolgrima (Kaya2 W,Child L,Orion W,Dreamer L,Doomy3 L)2-4
David Insinna (Italy Lugi) playing Kolgrima (Mak3 W,Anamag W,Gorshade4 W) Madrak2(Kallus1 L,Skarre2 L,Wurmwood L)3-3
Pekka Myller (Finnland 2) playing Grim1(Rashesh W,Morghoul2 W,Baldur2 L,Baldur1 W,Dreamer L) Kolgrima(Thyra W)4-2
Michiel (Netherlands1) playing Kolgrima (Baldur2 L,Heleyna L,Harbi W,Locke L) Madrak1(Rasheth L,Lucant W)2-4
Paulo Morais (Portugal Prime) playing Grissel2() Kolgrima(Zaal2 L,Ossrum L,Mordikaar L,Rasheth L,Makeda3 L,Locke W)1-5

I am happy to see that the Calandra /doomshaper3 combo went really well. Hope to hear some reports.

in my opinion harby is a matchup you should not tech for as a Troll Player. You could try Kolgrima and spray her to death if she is not careful but otherwise it should be a tough matchup. You need gw and trolls lack on gw. For BoH caster you could play any infantry caster. BoH always helps Long Riders cause take down on impact attacks is quiet nice.

Just guessing but i would think he uses calandra as a reroll caster. I like the idea of having 3-5 Puppet Master a turn + feat....

In My opinion we need to focus more on the Meta and how to answer it instead of playing whats best in Trolls. I often find myself playing kolgrima in sotn cause its a good List but i does not answer Any Top Meta lists. I really like the idea of the canadian wtc player running beast Heavy doomy3 and calandra boh. Its something new and seems to Be able to answer certain Meta Top lists.

i am not sure if Kolfrima is really good anymore with the new objective offering eyless sight...Bearka could be an option and any list which does not depend on a stone could be more interesting. A all grim2 shooty list could be an interesting option.

in my opinion the main weakness of grim2 is that he has no way of protecting his army. In my opinion i would try to exchange the champs for fireeaters or something else.

Trolllock i see your argument. The main concept behind Gunny is the ability of explosivo to remove opponents models and to find a list that differs from the standard Troll lists. I am not sure about the HH cause i think rat 5 really hurts him. He could easy be rat 6 if look at the current battle engines. Perhaps we see a Fellcaller for ranged units in the upcomming cids.

Cycling snipe does not work properly here as the GK always wants to acticate after gunny for guided fire... Yes that's correct. But I thought that maybe if you aim and +1 attack rolls of the hh. You do not need guided fire and could activate the gk first. Then cycle it onto the hh. But the hh could be also a nice target for explosivo .

Hi Folks,
i am building a new list pair for the upcomming meta and as CG enters the meta in my opinion a anti shooting list seems to be in every troll pair.
conflictchamber.com/?c7201b_-0G02fmjqfI6Gj20li-iZiZezi_j3Trollbloods Army - 75 / 75 points [Theme] Storm of the North [Gunnbjorn 1] Captain Gunnbjorn [+28] - Glacier King [35] - Trollkin Runebearer [0(5)] Bog Trog Mist Speaker [4] Fell Caller Hero [0(5)] Valka Curseborn, Chieftain of the North [0(6)] Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes (max) [9] - Northkin Elder [3] Northkin Bear Handlers & Battle Bears [10] Northkin Bear Handlers & Battle Bears [10] Northkin Fire Eaters [7] Pyg Lookouts (min) [7] Hearthgut Hooch Hauler [18]
A Glacier King in SoTN paired with Gunny is a blast. 16" power 16 fully boosted seems to be a good start for a list. Mist Speaker should be also quiet obvious with the amount of shooting this list offers.
The Hooch Hauler is a test for this list. In theory if you are able to cycle snipe between HH and the GK the HH should be a nice piece in the list. It also adds +1 attack rolls of the GK. Testing will tell if its a worth it. The Lookouts are also a test unit in theory it sounds like to have a piece ambushing and helping to increase the rat of your pieces. Especialy the HH could use some hit buffs.
Will keep you updated of how this list will work some test games will be played this week.

Some general ideas:
Starting with casters kolgrima really shuts down teps. Clouds + Feat + hunters mark for thread extensions should help killing teps before killing too much of your army.
Basher could be really funny vs teps. Crit stagger and teps are really sad.
Talking about units champions are really bad into teps. One tep activation could easy kill a unit of champs. Bears are great if you are not able to increase the damage. If playing madrak2 even fennblades have no problem killing a tep.
General tips would be that Forrest's are your best friend. You can park your army behind them and charge through them cause of the Los rules.
