Hi, my "meta" with friends is super competitive apparently, orboros, skorne, cryx and convergence are the main army and my first games I get rekt, can't take the objectives/flags in time in scenario game, can't hold it and I take a lot of charges..so I come up with this list, hoping to have the chance to crush some skulls..tips? Trollbloods [Theme] Band of Heroes
[Grim 1] Grim Angus [+29] - Dire Troll Mauler [15] - Earthborn Dire Troll [14] - Earthborn Dire Troll [14] - Trollkin Runebearer [0(5)] Stone Scribe Chronicler [0(4)] Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes (min) [6] - Stone Scribe Elder [3] Trollkin Champions (max) [16] - Skaldi Bonehammer [0(5)] Trollkin Champions (max) [16] Trollkin Long Riders (max) [20]

Champions are good on paper but they are bad against the things that are good in the meta right now. Not only that but they are also screwed over by things like mortality that gets played a lot now cause it is good against tharn and immortals etc.
If the meta cycles to being all heavies again, and mortality gets played less, then it is time to play double champions again (maybe...)
Until then, it is one unit tops. Fast stuff like fennblades should take priority till then imo.

Grim also doesn't seem that great for an all-melee list. He's basically a walking feat with a gun. Sure he works, because his feat is awesome sauce, but it seems to me that Grim prefers combined arms. Also Madrak1/Kolgrimma seems better for such a list.

I played some games this weekend tested eborka and i unterstand why Nobody plays him at the wtc. Szenario is to spread out so u need casters with a big control zone like kolgrima doomys or calandra.

Double max champs seems a bit much imo. Also I personally think max long riders is unnecessary, I usually opt for a min and horthol.
Might drop an earthborn and unit of champions to fit in a unit of fennblades and a bouncer maybe?

I wanted to go for champs because I tested fennblades a bit and seemed to be to squishy and not great damage for me, I'll try them again!

Fennblades aren't going to do a ton of damage and they'll die easily but they're really there to give you good odds at getting a decent alpha and screening your champs and beasts. They don't hit particularly hard but multiple boosted pow 12-13's will put substantial hurt into heavies. Them + the fell caller means they can really threaten high def (14-15) infantry and they hit hard enough that even iron zealed sentinels need to be careful. Look at them as a good initial punch which allows you to set up a second hard hit from the champions and/or the longriders. Try charging them in repoing some forward and some back for an attempted second punch and a more efficient screen. From my experience they need to be with the UA or they're really overpriced.

I've been using this list. It's performance has been okay in my local meta, though I will note that we don't have a skorne player, so untested in that respect. I attempt to flood center with lots of dudes since with madrak2 plus stone, any of my kriel can suddenly become mat 8 pow 12 weapon masters. Warpath gives my bomber a 20" assassination threat or a great repositioning tool to get to safety after throwing some boosted bombs.
