After playing alot of casters since the beginning of mk3 i am comming back to my favorite casters Grim2. Inspired by another player i came up with the following build i wanna start testing.

System: Hordes
Faction: Trollbloods
Caster: 1 / 1
Points: 75 / 75
Grim2 (Hunters Grim) -25
- Dire Troll Bomber 19
- Dire Troll Mauler 15
- Trollkin Runebearer 4
Dhunian Knot 6
Pyg Bushwackers (Leader and 9) 15
- Pyg Bushwhacker Officer & Mortar 5
Pyg Burrowers (Leader and 9) 13
Thumper Crew 5
Thumper Crew 5
Northkin Fire Eaters 7
Hutchuck 6
Objective: Armory

The idea is to get most out of your feat turn. The list i saw had 2 units of Sluggers instead of the bushwackers which could be even more damage but i do not own them so i wanna give bushwackers a chance. I am not sure about the battlegroup but we will see. I think this list needs alot of practice and i will play 5-10 games before start switching stuff. I wanna make this my goto list so i wanna see which weak matchups i find so i can build my second list especialy for these matchups. If interested i keep u updated.

I've played Grim2 a fair amount in mk3, and this list looks pretty solid. The only really mandatory things with him are a bomber and a runebearer, so you're set there.

I usually run double fire eaters with him, who are brilliant for triggering the feat, but single fire eaters and borrowers should work well too. Also, mirage on fire eaters is brilliant- you can get them out of melee so they can assault, or hide them behind a wall or obstruction then place them in a way they can charge.

Let us know how you get on!

Played my first two games with grim2 Vs stryker1 and Haley2. Lost both due to playing errors. Lost both dice rolls and going second is something this list does not really like. Opponent feated both games top of 2. I really think that thumper crews are amazing for their 5 points. Without any support the mauler was not really good in this list. For my next game I will try a bouncer+ bomber. One shieldguard would really helped in these matchups. The potential of mortality+ thumper knock down and some burrowers is really amazing. Playing 20 small base models does not feel the troll style so I need to learn to handle them. Overall I see alot of potential if you do not always wanna play PoD.
