I never even got around to casting the other upkeeps, although I would have cast the Pathfinder one on the brawler if he had been in range. I think that I will switch from Lanyssa&brawler to Rok after my five games, but I really wanted to see what that guy could do, particularly since most people seem to be avoiding him.

Here's a thought for Jarl to play for a quick scenario win. The quickened raiders run to engage turn 1, turn 2 the bears ambush and run to engage, turn 3 win on scenario or... probably die, I suspect. The stone could be reduced to get a swamp gobber bellows crew to have an easier way to score a round zone than the fire eaters. If the opponent has a way to ignore free strikes or thunderhead, you drop a different list, of course. If they bring a brick, though, you wrap it up in paper and throw it in the trash! conflictchamber.com/#c7201b_-0G0g0riUjq6G6GfFj20li-iZiZezezj5Trollbloods Army - 75 / 75 points [Theme] Storm of the North (Skuld 1) Jarl Skuld, Devil of the Thornwood [+30] - Dire Troll Bomber [19] - Rok [19] - Trollkin Runebearer [0(5)] Fell Caller Hero [0(5)] Fell Caller Hero [5] Swamp Gobber Chef [1] Valka Curseborn, Chieftain of the North [0(6)] Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes (max) [9] - Northkin Elder [3] Northkin Bear Handle & Battle Bears [10] Northkin Bear Handle & Battle Bears [10] Northkin Fire Eaters [7] Northkin Fire Eaters [7] Northkin Raiders (max) [15]

Prefer not using doubles and I like the way this list has different options to deal with what's on the table.
Not sure how much the Shaman will contribute but he's a toolbox for moments of opportunity.
Are vanilla Champs valid? With Quicken of course.

The kriel stone with the NK elder is what makes the northkin stuff really work. +1 SPD or +2 STR are AMAZING buffs.

Hi guys I looked and read around too, checked what I have ( all besides the 2 Bear Handlers, the Pygs and the NK Elder ) This is what I figured out: conflictchamber.com/#c7201b_-0G0g0rjnjq6G6O0li-iZiZezi_iTbKcCTrollbloods Army - 75 / 75 points [Theme] Storm of the North (Skuld 1) Jarl Skuld, Devil of the Thornwood [+30] - Dire Troll Bomber [19] - Dire Troll Brawler [16] - Trollkin Runebearer [0(5)] Fell Caller Hero [0(5)] Trollkin Champion Hero [0(5)] Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes (max) [9] - Northkin Elder [3] Northkin Bear Handle & Battle Bears [10] Northkin Bear Handle & Battle Bears [10] Northkin Fire Eaters [7] Pyg Lookouts (min) [7] Trollkin Champions (max) [16] - Skaldi Bonehammer [5] - Trollkin Sorcerer (1) [3] Actually I own just 1 Unit FireEaters, thats the Point where I am thinking either the Pygs , the Scond FireEaters or whatelse?

I have played a VERY similar list and i think lookouts are the way to go. Jarl does not want to have to boos hit with his gun, and RAT 9 is WAY better than RAT 7 since you will often go after infantry. I hate the champ hero and went for Valka instead, and i had Rök instead of the maxed stone and Brawler but it is virtually the same list. I had many very fun and successful games with the list. SPD 8 champions are a thing for sure!

I chased a local senior gamer out of playing Cygnar in a couple games with a list very like that. The champs are amazing, and three ambushing units are also wacky. I really liked the lookouts for the same reasons as Trollock. If they aren't really cautious, you can even get work out of the lookouts as well, rat 4 isn't bad when you routinely have back strike and mark the target going.

I played a double FE version for awhile with Jarl and I think that I would prefer lookouts instead.between Jarl’s magic bullets and the bomber there was never any need for more infantry clearing.

I ended up dropping the Fire Eaters from my list. Mainly to my amazing Damage rolls against them when taking my Fire rolls. Lookouts are exactly what I slotted into mine. Don’t underestimate what Jarl’s guns can output if he can safely boost his damage on both shots.
I had some real success with this as my main list for a while. I’ve been away from the Kriel since January but have been looking to make my return.
Here’s where my list is sitting currently:
War Room Army
Trollblood - Jarl of the North
Theme: Storm of the North 3 / 3 Free Cards 75 / 75 Army
Jarl Skuld, Devil of the Thornwood - WB: +30 - Trollkin Runebearer - PC: 0 - Dire Troll Bomber - PC: 19 (Battlegroup Points Used: 19) - Rök - PC: 19 (Battlegroup Points Used: 11)
Fell Caller Hero - PC: 0 Trollkin Champion Hero - PC: 0 Bog Trog Mist Speaker - PC: 4
Trollkin Champions - Leader & 4 Grunts: 16 - Skaldi Bonehammer - PC: 5 - Trollkin Sorcerer - PC: 3 Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes - Leader & 5 Grunts: 9 - Northkin Elder - PC: 3 Northkin Bear Handler & Battle Bears - Bear Handler & 2 Battle Bears: 10 Northkin Bear Handler & Battle Bears - Bear Handler & 2 Battle Bears: 10 Pyg Lookouts - Leader & 3 Grunts: 7

How is the Mist Speaker working out with Jarl now that Guidance is friendly?

It was just what he was missing. Not only does the Eyeless Sight help Jarl’s personal threat out immensely but being able to hand out Magic Weapons to Rok or the Bomber has actually proved pretty relevant in my meta. Eyeless Sight on a stick is amazing when it matters. Fish Sticks is a tech piece that I won’t be leaving out of my list anytime soon.
