Hi Everyone! Excited to write my first post after about 8 months of lurking around 😛 this forum was invaluable when I got started with Warmahordes and Trolls so thank you all for teaching me so much! I will hop on the Gunny wagon and ask: what do you think about Gunnbjorn in BoH? My idea here is to take a shooty battlegroup that will supplement melee units and use Gunny to protect Fenns/Champs with Feat and Rock Wall. As for now I am trying to get into a proper list for that, something like the one below. The core members are Dozer, Bomber, Fenns and Champs, while rest probably could change depending on the results in my meta. I struggle the most with heavy infantry and Jacks (PoM and CG) so it determined few choices here like Dannon to hunt those nasty Cinnies. As for bg I playtested with a Mauler and as much as it adds the hitting power in melee, I will try utilising shooting and Guided Fire bit more. I also think Kithkar can work since he adds a lot to Fenns (unlike Fell Caller he also improves vengeance attacks and 8v9 MAT makes a difference too). Some things I might try out with a bit of swapping: Swamp/Slag Troll, Sons of Bragg, more Fenns and of course Skaldi. Your ideas and experiences will be most helpful! conflictchamber.com/?c7201b_-26025T0resjqpk6GcF9m0k0miT0b0cTrollbloods [Theme] Band of Heroes [Gunnbjorn 1] Captain Gunnbjorn [+28] - Dire Troll Blitzer [15] - Dire Troll Bomber [17] - Dozer & Smigg [17] - Trollkin Runebearer [0(5)] Boomhowler, Solo Artist [0(6)] Fell Caller Hero [0(5)] Fennblade Kithkar [4] Dannon Blythe & Bull [5] Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes (min) [6] - Stone Scribe Elder [3] Trollkin Champions (max) [16] Trollkin Fennblades (max) [15] - Trollkin Fennblade Officer & Drummer [5]

Hmm, why would ya take character duo? Also changing Blitzer into Mauler. Pow 15(16 with stone) beasts are pillow fisted.

Not sure I agree that you'll need the additional hitting power provided by the mauler but you'll have to see how the list feels without one.
I'm not a fan of the kithkar, I think a Stone scribe chronicler will provide more utility honestly.
While I kind of like Blythe & Bull you might consider skaldi as relentless charge on the champs can be pretty clutch.

Welcome!!I've played my last 2games with gunnbjorn combo GK + bog trog, really really fun, especially when the opponent didn't expect it!!
Try your list and let us know how goes, however, personally i'll change the blitzer/dannon for a second unit of fennblades+UA

Thanks a million for comments lads! Hmm, why would ya take character duo? Also changing Blitzer into Mauler. Pow 15(16 with stone) beasts are pillow fisted. In theory (haven't bought them yet) Blythe and Bull should work well with Gunny - snipe and wall would protect them in need quite well. Beat back can help me break shield walls down. They are also a cheap unit for scoring and so far I tend to put champs/fenns on one side so I'd have something to score with on the other. I do know that without Mauler my melee game is a bit limited but I wanna see how much I could work around it - having a 15p warbeast that needs to hang in the back and interacts poorly with Gunny (no speed boosts) until very end might not be the best solution. Kithkar so far plays quite well both as a support piece for Fenns and a combat model - pow15 charge can dish out a bit of damage. Although I can see Chronicler hanging around too, shooty warbeast will be too slow to utilize Charge of Trolls. And regarding change of Blitzer to Fenns - not bad though Gunny supports beasts so well I just feel it's a waste to have only 2 of them 😛

I've used Blythe and Bull a bit and I like them well enough. They are nice for plopping in the back of a zone to score and contest but I don't think they're worth putting snipe on when you have a blitzer or D&S and I think you have much better options for rock wall protection (most turns at least).
The blitzer is going to be up a bit so you might be surprised about when you can trigger charge of trolls. It is also a nice late game ability to get some extra hitting power when your running low on models.
Defintely not my experience with the kithkar but meh thats just my opinion. Not sure how you're getting him to pow 15 in this list since he has powerful charge not brutal charge but pow 13's (14's under the stone) aren't bad.

Indeed, he'd probably be a bit better if he did have brutal charge but according to the card database its powerful charge.
