I think you can use the caster to"counter" other things in the meta, so if you find that he solves something for you, go ahead! Madrak 2 is also relatively scary in that build, since he can clear lots of models with the feat and can hit very hard with Blood Fury.

I will try a grim2 list for legion and circle. I am not sure if grim2 will be that good vs menoth.

I will try a grim2 list for legion and circle. I am not sure if grim2 will be that good vs menoth. I player against Circle yesterday. Trollbloods Army - 75 / 75 points [Theme] Kriel Company [Grim 2] Hunters Grim [+25] - Glacier King [35] - Ice Troll [9] - Trollkin Runebearer [0(5)] Bog Trog Mist Speaker [4] Braylen Wanderheart, Trollkin Outlaw [0(5)] Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes (min) [6] - Northkin Elder [3] Northkin Raiders (min) [9] Northkin Raiders (min) [9] Pyg Lookouts (min) [7] Hearthgut Hooch Hauler [18] Opponent was tired to play tharns so he played Wormwood on bones (also stranglehold is good against double-huge list). Won game by scenario after 3 wyrds tried to assassinate Grim but failed (those were basically all left from wormwood army). Overall I really liked the list and think it is good Circle drop but might have problems against Krueger+stroms raptor lists that have too good shooting protection.

Looks like the list can fit into SoTM -- are the benefits of Kriel better than SoTM?

I do not really like the mist speaker. Perhaps I am to save but a fury 6 Mortality caster really needs a reroll to feel save. I really want to try to play the list in pod. Knot should be a really nice piece in this list.

Currently playin Grim2 in Pod, which is lots of fun: Mk,earthborn are your anchors. I added Pyre, Storm, Axer, swamptroll but i guess thats taste. Minstone + puppetmasters 10 Whelps

I know but eilish double bomber cost 1 solo slot. I am currently thinking which way I wanna go with grim2.
The two ideas are :
Sotn with double bombers combined with mage sight and bears fire eaters combined with Mortality and mirage for thread extension.
Second idea is classic kriel company with be and maxing out the Feat with sluggers....

You will either frenzy or not run the bombers to their full potential. Bomber plus ice troll seems much better to me.

Another idea would be a glacier king. We would loose snipe but glacier king + mage sight could help sniping solos. Perhaps adding a bouncer for earth blessing shield guard transfer targets.

That will lose you your rhird free card though. Not saying it is unplayable, but you still have the same problem as with double bombers then.

I know the 25 wb points on grim 2 really feel a bit too low. Compared to grim1 29.

You get two dudes though. I do not think the two pygs are over costed, but casters with low battle group points suffer a bit from how themes work. At least in the infantry based themes...
