hey all,
I think it's about time I start running lists with models I actually own rather than proxying everything. Is there anything resembling a cohesive force I can assemble with this?
Grissel 1/2 Ragnor Doomie3
Mauler/Bomber EDBT Axer + Impaler + Bouncer Winter Troll
stones + CA runebearer
fennblades x2 + 1 CA NK Fire eaters kriel warriors Pyg Lookouts
Braylen
-Croak raiders -gatorman posse -Trog Ambushers -mist speaker -Dhalia + Skarath -gobber bellows -Agata

Do you have both a Mauler AND a bomber or is it a magnetized Mauler/Bomber combo? Because that can change the viability of your lists significantly. Both Mauler and Bomber are some of the best troll non-character beasts.

Both Mauler and Bomber are some of the best troll non-character beasts. I only own one chassis right now. I'm well aware that mauler+bomber is the go to module for almost every caster, but for now that's what I've got to work with.

Grissel 2 with a Mauler + EBDT + Impaler makes a decent battlegroup that gives you farstrike for grissel's assassination and enough melee punch to possibly make up for the lack of bombers she usually runs. Throw in a stone and some screening units maybe? Alternatively, Ragnor or Doomie3 can both run a big, heavy beast brick. You'll need the mauler for sure to make that work, but at least they'll be durable and hard hitting, if a little slow.

With what you have there Grissel2 BoH is probably your best bet. Something like... conflictchamber.com/?c7201b_-267e9DiR0ijqfI6M6R0o0k0m0b0c0b0cTrollbloods [Theme] Band of Heroes [Grissel 2] Grissel Bloodsong, Marshal of the Kriels [+27] - Dire Troll Mauler [15] - Earthborn Dire Troll [14] - Troll Impaler [11] - Trollkin Runebearer [0(5)] Bog Trog Mist Speaker [4] Stone Scribe Chronicler [4] Troll Whelps [4] Kriel Warriors (max) [11] Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes (min) [6] - Stone Scribe Elder [3] Trollkin Fennblades (max) [15] - Trollkin Fennblade Officer & Drummer [0(5)] Trollkin Fennblades (max) [15] - Trollkin Fennblade Officer & Drummer [0(5)] Would require a few purchases (couple solos and the 2nd Fennblade UA) but should be reasonably competent.

I might do a different solo package (try and fit a fell caller in there) since you'd already need to make some purchases but it's probably a decent list

Right now you are a bit all over the place, but with some though and just a bit of cash you could have pretty good lists. Any list built using only what you have there will feel very... forced?

There are a ton of different options for putting together a list with a couple more unit options but without too many purchases I put this list together. Its not a meta bending list but it will crack armor, threatens pretty far, and can mulch some infantry if your opponent isn't careful. conflictchamber.com/?c7201b_-264X9DiR0ijq6G4k6M0o0k0m0b0c0b0cTrollbloods [Theme] Band of Heroes [Madrak 2] Madrak Ironhide, World Ender [+28] - Dire Troll Mauler [15] - Earthborn Dire Troll [14] - Troll Impaler [11] - Trollkin Runebearer [0(5)] Fell Caller Hero [0(5)] Lanyssa Ryssyl, Nyss Sorceress [4] Stone Scribe Chronicler [4] Kriel Warriors (max) [11] Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes (min) [6] - Stone Scribe Elder [3] Trollkin Fennblades (max) [15] - Trollkin Fennblade Officer & Drummer [0(5)] Trollkin Fennblades (max) [15] - Trollkin Fennblade Officer & Drummer [5] based one what you have listed it requires purchases of: Madrak2 Fell Caller Hero (FCH) Stone Scribe Chronicler (SSC) Lanyssa Ryssl Fennblade Command Attachment (Fenn CA) Madrak2 isn't a regular pick in the meta but he's not bad and he makes a list that hits deceptively hard. You'll want the FCH for future lists, the SSC is a solid BoH support piece, and your second unit of fennblades needs a CA. Lanyssa isn't our primary minions choice but she's pretty good and hunter's mark in this list means it can threaten even further. As Trollock said I'd decide if you want to build out a SotN list or a BoH list. I would recommend going towards BoH first as the remaining important pieces for BoH, longriders and champions, are useful in SotN. You might consider a unit of champions + Skaldi and a unit of longriders + Horthol for big purchases. That will give you solid choices for making BoH lists and a decent foundation for future SotN lists.

From what you've got I'd say most fun army would be Grissel1 in BoH. Why Grissel1? Because you don't have any hard hitting infantry nor boosting solos (like Chronicler or Fell caller) - and Grissel provides great help with her deafening attack, Calamity and Fell Calls. Your list will be best against melee infantry, might struggle against armored bricks (scenario/clock can be key to winning) and shooting (Fenns and Kriels die to almost any shot). Your best option against those could be to jam their front line/shooting - Fennblades run 12" and then move 6 with hoof it - with melee range that 20" of coverage! You follow them up with your Earthborn quickened by Axer's animus for more staying power. Notable first buys: - another Dire Troll set - Champions with Skaldi - solos: Fell caller, Stone Scribe Chronicler, maybe Boomhowler2 or Dhunian Archon Core of the list - 57p with requisitions used conflictchamber.com/?c7201b_-26589DiR0hjq0o0k0m0b0c0bTrollbloods [Theme] Band of Heroes [Grissel 1] Grissel Bloodsong, Fell Caller [+29] - Dire Troll Mauler [15] - Earthborn Dire Troll [14] - Troll Axer [10] - Trollkin Runebearer [0(5)] Kriel Warriors (max) [11] Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes (min) [6] - Stone Scribe Elder [0(3)] Trollkin Fennblades (max) [15] - Trollkin Fennblade Officer & Drummer [0(5)] Trollkin Fennblades (max) [15]
