Ayyyyyyyyy
I'm still hoping there'll be a troll+Tharn+Gators theme down the line, but not crossing my fingers.
Theme will be released along with a "united kriels" CiD, which will see trolls getting new guns, and Gunny 2! What do you hope to see out of this?

Trolls caster gets access to farrow beasts, and farrow caster gets access to troll beasts.

Where was this announced?
Gunny 2 is exciting, but for me he's going to need something really good to compete with gunny 1 at this point.

Trolls caster gets access to farrow beasts, and farrow caster gets access to troll beasts. That would be a big deal for Farrow, rush and rage without Mire. For trolls it's just ok. With Azzazello and this new theme farrow infantry might actually become viable, who knows? I really hope we get new farrow solos/characters, preferably female, I absolutely love the look the (Brigand) Valkyrie and Agata have going on. Not a big fan of the ordic look, I'd rather prefer it if PP limited the pig in fancy uniform look to the Piggybacks. With the carver minicrate that seems to be the direction.

Farrow, or at least Arkadius, probably aren't getting Rush. Hungerford mentioned Arkadius with Troll *Heavies* specifically, presumably because Road Hogs with Rush on Arkadius can spray enemy deployment zones top of one.
If that's a universal limitation then the only Warbeast swapping would be each side trading heavies, which removes a lot of utility.

Carver's beasts getting access to the krielstone would be pretty hilarious. It'll be crazy if he gets to bring gargs.

Out of interest is anyone using Farrow Minions in their lists right now? Farrow Valkyries etc? What has been your experiences using them with Trolls

What has been your experiences using them with Trolls From what I've seen people use them either with Madrak or in beast bricks, and that's about it. Unless they get buffed, Valks are just better at just about everything compared to Warders, except sheer numbers, and survivability, but the Dhunian can help with that now.

I wonder if they will let us take the BE, I've been eyeing one forever but managed to avoid buying it because I don't want to buy into Piggies too much. Almost like PP read my mind...

Helga2 looks like a nice caster for our beasts. Rapport, mini iron horse, escort. Also primed works well with fennblades and possibly champs.

The only issue I can see with Primed is that the theme force reads as more Kriel Company than Band of Heroes. References to guns, not swords.

The Battle Boar could be useful for trolls, that way we can get a cheap damage buff for beasts if a Mauler is too expensive or gets taken out early.
