I recently finished painting my Jarl mini and I am thinking about playing him in a tourney sometime. Pretty basic strategy really, just use the feat to gain ground and either take the zones first against melee opponents or rush gun lines. Something like this maybe: conflictchamber.com/#c7201b_-0G0g0r0rjq6G6R0li-iZiZj5iTbKTrollbloods Army - 75 / 75 points [Theme] Storm of the North [Skuld 1] Jarl Skuld, Devil of the Thornwood [+30] - Dire Troll Bomber [19] - Dire Troll Bomber [19] - Trollkin Runebearer [0(5)] Fell Caller Hero [0(5)] Troll Whelps [4] Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes (max) [9] - Northkin Elder [3] Northkin Bear Handlers & Battle Bears [10] Northkin Bear Handlers & Battle Bears [10] Northkin Raiders (max) [15] Trollkin Champions (max) [16] - Skaldi Bonehammer [0(5)] Admittedly, part of the draw is just to play something a little different, but I think I'd pair this with Madrak 1; I need more practice with him too and for that, I'll start by copying gdnerd list with the GK. If it turns out that I need RFP though, then one of the two would have to move over to Band of Heroes, and that would probably be Jarl: conflictchamber.com/#c7201b_-0a0g9D0h0ijq6G6M0k0miTbK0b0c6mTrollbloods Army - 75 / 75 points [Theme] Band of Heroes [Skuld 1] Jarl Skuld, Devil of the Thornwood [+30] - Dire Troll Mauler [15] - Troll Axer [10] - Troll Impaler [11] - Trollkin Runebearer [0(5)] Fell Caller Hero [0(5)] Stone Scribe Chronicler [4] Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes (min) [6] - Stone Scribe Elder [3] Trollkin Champions (max) [16] - Skaldi Bonehammer [0(5)] Trollkin Fennblades (max) [15] - Trollkin Fennblade Officer & Drummer [5] Trollkin Long Riders (max) [20] So, any thoughts on this? Or tips for playing him with 3 units?

If you play Jarl in SotN it's a crime not to run Rök with him. Swift Hunter on Assault Sprays is nifty! Also consider Lanyssa for him and his beasts. She's a threat extender and fury management in one piece.

The free upkeeps from sotn/pod is what made him playable for me. This was vack before the changes to the kriel stone, so it might not be aw bad now, but i really hate the struggle to get his spells out and keep them there in BoH...
Most factions do not have access to army wide RFP and they are playable anyway. Are you sure you need it?

Some times, but if you do noy reach your charge target before swift hunter, the charge still fails, and you can not swift hunter. It does work if you charge and reach model A, you can kill something with the assault, swift hunter 2" and then get to model B that you couldnt reach before.

Jarl is a lot of fun in a SotN list where he can upkeep most/all of his spells for free. Any other theme though I can't say he seems very viable at all. Or at least he becomes very boring in a world where he's forced to spend his fury on upkeeping instead of shooting stuff in the face. To me if you aren't utilizing his pistols and Magic Bullet then why bother playing him.

The first thing that comes to mind for me when I see Jarl in SotN is SPD 8 champs. There's probably something that can be done with that right?

Its no secret that I took Jarl to WTC - played him once and got lucky. I love the dude and will not give up on the list Are Kolgrimmer, Grim1, Bearka and Maddy1 better - SURE - they all been boosted via CID, Jarl hasn't. But that do not chance the fact that his biggest problem earlier was not being able to use his spells due to upkeep and low fury. This is solved in Storm, also he enjoy Moses so his cloud wall (which I almost always get maximized for some strange reason) can be that bit further out. Yes I love him to death but am trying to find some list to compliment his play with - and I am NOT looking at the big four Oh and you say Champs speed 8 - what about speed 10 bears ? This is my Speedy GonJarles list Jarl Skuld - Runebearer - Dire Troll Bomber - Dire Troll Mauler Fell Caller Hero Trollkin Champion Hero Bog Trog Mist Speaker Northkin Bear Handler and Battle Bears Northkin Bear Handler and Battle Bears Northkin Fire Eaters Northkin Fire Eaters Trollkin Champions - Skaldi Bonehammer - Trollkin Sorcerer Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes (min) - Northkin Elder
