==Weapon Attachment==
As with most Trollkin units, the Krielstone can take up to 3 [[Trollkin Sorcerer]]s. The Sorcerer's info has been omitted for brevity. Due to the wording of Fury Bank each sorcerer adds +1 to the maximum amount of Fury the unit can have thus extending the area +1 inch.

=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}=
==={{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
The Krielstone Bearer is the unit that makes the Trollbloods the Trollbloods. Every player owns one, complete with a Stone Scribe, and it sees play almost every game.
Because the faction is built around the +2 armour the stone provides it makes playing a ’brick’ a lot easier the downside to this though is that it makes scenario play harder as you likely will have to choose between extra armour and contesting every point.
===Thoughts on adding the CA===
The Stone Scribe Elder is just good for any kind of force (both +1 STR and countering a lot of hard to counter stuff) while the Northkin is brutal in [[Storm of the North]] theme force when running a lot of infantry.
{{Tipbox|Remember, you can only take one CA per unit.}}
===Combos & Synergies===
==Base Unit==
* Anything Trollblood especially if it has decent armour and multiple wounds. Which is everything except most of the infantry, and even they like it.
==Stone Scribe Elder ==
*models with thrown weapons really appreciate +1 strength as it improves their guns on the approach [[Trollkin Scouts]], [[Ice Troll]]s, [[Troll Impaler]]s and [[Madrak1]] especially.
== Northkin Elder ==
* [[Northkin]] models naturally
===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* The Protective Aura is tied to the "this model" that activated it. If you're forced to Field Promote the Leader model, then the Aura will be "turned off" until next time the unit activates and turns it back on.
** Keep an eye out for stuff which gets around Self-Sacrifice because players will use it to "snipe" the Leader model. For instance, [[Electro Leap]] damage is "not considered to be from an attack".
* It needs charging up.
===Tricks & Tips===
* Keep it in the middle of your army.
* A great counter to Stealth and Incorporeal.

  • All models of a unit are Trooper models.
  Errata-Unit-Advance (2023-12-07)
Question: When something triggers because an "advancing enemy model that ends their movement" is within a given distance something, and the enemy model advancing is part of a unit, does the trigger only affect the moving model, or does it also affect the troopers that are placed?
Answer: Only the model moved counts for triggering when something advances into an area.
Explanation: We are aware of the situation. Currently looking at what the wording of the feats should be as well as the bigger question at hand here. For now it would be just the models that actually moved, not were placed. This is just for these right now amd not looking at other aspects of unit movement. When there is any update for wording i will post. As stated until we have a wording update this ruling is applying here. So for now just the model that was actually moved and not the ones placed will be affected.
