Those lists look reasonable. For Grim, you can easily drop the bouncer and get a min stone plus something extra for 3 points. Gunnbjorn is very close to a PoD list. the highwaymen are cool, but they effectively cost 27 points in your list, and you need some fury management anyway (whelps). dropping them and switching to PoD with an extra beast (EBDT is super good with him) is not a bad option. Grissle looks fine at a glance, but you have no fury management and the bombers should be producing 8 fury a turn. Drop the stone attachment for a chef so you can eat some Burrowers, and a FG for contesting is probably what i would do. If you decide to tweak around the points more, and since you come from pigs, you might have a razorback crew. That thing is super good with Grissel, since it actually hits. He shoots as hard as Dozer but only costs 5 points. Seems legit

Gunnbjorn and Dozer are making me want to try out Trollkin. The models looks amazing and who doesn't like a Troll with a BFG? Horgle probably seems like a better choice for synergy if I'm using Fire Eaters and Bombers (and Pyre Trolls!), but I love the guns too much. Are Scattergunners and Sluggers any good with Gunny?

Trollock has a good thread with a review of the units and their usefulness. The sluggers can get snipe from him and boosted Attack rolls from him and if you have the war wagon with kockdown it will help them even more. (A lot of people seem to take war wagon and dozed and smiggs with him.) the scattergunners are anti infantry in a meta where there isn't a ton of infantry so unless you have them or find them cheap I would lean toward sluggers.

Thanks. I read over the article and looked at the models. I know there are probably some more powerful builds but the appeal of the models counts for a lot with me. I appreciate the advice on the scattergunners, I'll look into the Sluggers.

Just a heads up, that only the Battle Group will benefit from Guided Fire, so the Sluggers will have to make due with their RAT 6.

So I ordered Gunny and Dozer yesterday - I'm not yet ready to build a Trollbloods army (way too much other painting to do first!) but I can't wait to get this badass pair of models. They're going to look great!

Congrats! I'm trying our Grissel for a bit first because I won't have to buy too much extra and I like the play style but I want Gunny as well. The problem for me is you seem to want the war wagon and dozer and smiggs and they seem to be more niche. I keep hearing he is amazing, definitely post when you start playing him and let us know how you like him.

Dozer is at least borderline playable with Gunnbjorn, and the War Wagon is apparently up for a rules overhaul in the CID process, so you should be fine
