I don’t get it; why was the Conquest-spawned whelp important? The Conquest is MAT 6 anyway and Annoyance only affects living models.

Annoyance doesnt work, but he still needs to roll 6s to hit both the bomber and the whelp, and he missed enough of them that he couldnt kill both, so i still contested his zone I have been an avid fan of whelps for the entirety of MK3, just because of things like this. Their value just increased from SR2017(?) and onward when only solos could score flags, and now when they give mark the target in KC they are insane imo. Learning to place whelps in the most annoying fashion possible is a true skill that a troll player should master

Whelps were even better no MK2 as they could be places within 2" so they could block all charge lines. And as most common melee range was 0,5" one whelp block larger area. They are bad fury management, but othervice super annoying for enemy

Really happy of that report, liked also the kc list! You think calandra is the best caster or you would want to test another caster for that list?

Not as a straight replacement. I do not think Highwaymen are good with casters that are not calandra or gunnbjorn, and with gunnbjorn i do not think braylen is worth it. Calandra is usually the best caster for ALL lists

I spent like a full 10 seconds thinking you had two more War Wagons in the chamber, before I remembered they were FA 2. Ah well, I guess I can dream...

Hey, great write up. I'm considering trying your list as well, and have a few questions. Do you think the Hermit is a crucial piece inside the list? I personal dislike these kind of models... So I was thinking about to min. The burrowers as you suggested and cut the Hermit for min. Sluggers (they take everything grim2 has really good) and max Stone. The new steamroller scenarios are so spread out, that min. Stone is really hard to play with for me...

The new steamroller scenarios are so spread out, that min. Stone is really hard to play with for me... I honesty do not know how crucial hermit is, as i havent done any iterating on the list really. I stole the core of the list from Faye Reppas and she seems to have a lot of reps with it. Obviously it depends on the meta you are facing. If ARM-cracking isnt an issue, Hermit becomes way less essential, but i guess the point is that with Hermit and Mortality, the scattergunners are dangerous to pretty much anything. POW 16 hurts basically everything, but POW 14 bounces off heavies sort of.
I have a game against Maelok that shows what POW 16 sprays can do that ill try to write up. Its just that the very limited free time i have is currently spent painting. 4 units of Runeshapers that i brought in 2014 are getting some paint on them

Thanks for all those great batreps!
Since roughly 2 years I have been thinking about restarting Trolls, but something is still holding me back.
I guess it´s the really bad start for Trolls in the current edition when all of the power of the former edition suddenly dissapeared. I loved to play Calandra in her second theme which basically included light warbeasts, Earthborns, some Gargantuen here and there and some units of Pygs (especially the Burrowers and Fire Eaters).
For a long time these models (except Fire Eaters and some Gargantuans) seemed to be subpar to say the best and therefore I couldn´t imagine to play Trolls anytime soon. So I sold all my stuff.
In the current iteration of the game I´m thinking about some Calandra fun once more.
What do you think, Trollock, is Calandra on the right spot to restart the faction with this lovely warcaster?

Calandra is super good and fun to play. Ill be playing her next game, now with 5 beasts and 4 units of Runeshapers. She is good with almost anything! The old list of spamming light elementals will not work in this edition, but he Earthborn with bullet dodger and a whelp is something you just HAVE to experience once in your life
