Haha. Thanks for the high praise. I think ill try and do the next major update when we see the Northkin theme force. Things have changed quite a bit since PoD arrived, and i havent really incorporated all that in the guide.

Just another thank you from the peanut gallery. As somebody who is just starting Trolls (picked up the 2 Player Box) this is really helpful for slowly building my troll army.

With the War Wagon getting some serious boosts as a result of CID, will you update its star rating?

I sure will i was going to do a big update once our next theme was live. the CID changes are not final yet, so ill wait for that to happen before updating this thing. tbh, many things have changed since i wrote the article.

Trollock with the CID changes do you see a change in your priorities ranking. IE Troll Moses with the +2 inches to control range.
Also I wonder why you listed Wander heart so low? She seems really awesome. Thanks for the guide I read through it and I was just hoping to pick your brain on those 2 models.

I see a LOT of changes after CID and the new SotN theme releases, and possibly even more if they do a slight re-balance of current themes (this was hinted at in the CID, and will probably happen when they allow minions in themes imo). Mostly good things. Things that were previously worthless becoming good and the like. I am very excited! Braylen is not a very good model imo, though her stock went up with the KC theme for sure. I REALLY like her "gun sprint" ability, at least in theory. Triggering it will be easier as infantry becomes more prevalent for sure. Still, she relies on RAT 6, so if you can not get behind a model, even lucky will not be a guarantee to hit moderately high DEF, and if they happen to have something like concealment or cover, things become very difficult indeed. If you can get her behind enemy lines though she is super annoying. If you do something crazy, like snipe her with Gunnbjorn, she is probably insane. The problem there is that you are NOT sniping something else. Her affinity with HWM is fun in theory, but REALLY hard to trigger in reality. They need to be near her AND behind their target. I have played the combo a number of times and i do not think i have ever actually triggered it except with Calandra, who moves the enemy around rather than having the HWM move around the enemy. At 0 points (in theme) i think she has a place, but at 5 points she is very hard to justify unless you really know what you are up against. If she can run on turn 1, move forward to get behind a frontline model on turn 2 and kill it, and then sprint basically to the enemy deployment zone, she can start becoming an issue. Terrain is super critical too. If there are forests in the right places and enemy infantry models in the right places she is good for sure. Too many ifs for me though. I would love to spend time on this guide, but the reality is that i have a kid now who is 3 days old, and i have a new job (that i cant slack off at to the same degree as my old job lol). I honestly do not know when i will get around to it

NO worries man, it's miles ahead of any other guide I have found. Thanks for your reply none the less.

I started the big revision just a tiny bit. The non-updated text is now brown, while the updated text is black. Hopefully the amount of black will grow in time

One thing you could do Trollock, is transfer the contents of the main post to a google doc and link to it, then when you don't have time you can share the work of keeping this post updated with other trusted veteran players. Or maybe it could become an article on Battle College. Just a thought, I know how much life gets in the way of our hobbies.

Without one author using his specific prejudice to direct the flow of the text it will be even more of a jumble Also, now they announced that there will be at least one more theme for us at the end of september, so things will change yet again. I will try and do slow and steady updates when ever i get the time.

When did they announce another theme? They said that every single model in the game would have a theme that they can be played in. Since the Skinner has no theme yet, i figured there has to be another one coming. I guess they could just allow him in Northkin, but it is a bit strange that they didnt do that during the CID, so i am hopeful

I don't expect a theme just for the Skinner, but I'd obviously be very pleased if we got a hunting party theme based around Grim, Scouts and the skinner.
