The Troll Basher is a cheap beatstick. A 7 point model with P+S 14 and that's frequently effectively MAT 8 - and is trollishly tough. This is either awesome and exactly what you want or you want something else entirely.
1
 
===Tri1via===
Being a Northkin model it does get some support from the [[Storm of the North]] theme and the [[Hearthgut Hooch Hauler]] but this is just a bonus to its core role of economy beatstick with built in MAT fixer.
 
It's P+S is just high enough that you can push it to respectable levels with just a few ubiquitous buffs.
 
===Combos & Synergies===
* [[Power of Dhunia]] - casting your animus for free then charging is lovely and helps prevent a loss in output.
* [[Rok]] - you can Primal it and use it as a fire and forget missile.
* [[Borka, Vengeance of the Rimeshaws]] - it's a cheap and hard hitting counter-charger. It’s crit effect can also ruin an enemies day when attacking out of turn.
* [[Calandra Truthsayer, Oracle of the Glimmerwood]] likes lots of warbeasts to soothing song - but frequently goes for ranged units.
* [[Madrak2]] - probably wants 1 for his berserk and overtake feat - it stacks nicely with chiller.
* [[Hoarluk Doomshaper, Shaman of the Gnarls]], [[Hoarluk Doomshaper, Rage of Dhunia]], [[Hoarluk Doomshaper, Dire Prophet]], and [[Horgle, the Anvil]] can let it boost four attack rolls for a roughly 90% chance of staggering its target
* [[Krielstone]] - The standard Elder gives you +1 STR, the Northkin Elder either +1 SPD or +2 STR(!), on top of +2 ARM from the base unit
* [[Pyre Troll]]/[[Slag Troll]] - +2 to melee damage via the animus is exactly what the Basher needs, with a standard stone on top of this buff it hits at P+S 17, so as hard as a heavy.
* [[Hermit]] - The last caster independent damage buff you can give the Basher. Mad Vision also means you can negate a freestrike and have it move somewhere inconvenient for your opponent and apply Chiller.
* [[Dhunian Archon]] - Fury Management and healing.
 
===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* Point for point it's going to lose to heavies - hitting power matters.
* Low threat range.
* Unfortunately while the model one hands the weapon, he needs both hands to use it so no open fist additional attack.
* Because it only has 1 initial it drinks fury into infantry and when trading vs other lights.
* It has a fair bit of competition at 7 points, if you don't need it's amazing hit fixing Animus you may get more from the extra initial attack and gun on the [[Storm Troll]] or the 2 extra attacks and stealth on the [[Night Troll]].
 
===Tricks & Tips===
* It's quite effective as a DEF debuffer thanks to Chiller.
* In terms of meat for the points it's excellent and can afford to be lost.
* Stagger is at its most effective against colossals, gargantuans, and battle engines

Weapons

Heavy Mace
 RNG   ROF   AOE   POW   LOCATION 
1 - - 14 -

Beat Back		 Immediately after a basic atack with this weapon is resolved during the models Combat Action:
  1. The enemy model hit can be pushed 1 inch directly away from the attacking model.
  2. After the enemy model is pushed, the attacking model can advance up to 1 inch directly toward it.

You cannot move toward a model that is no longer on the table. When a movement occurs after a damage is resolved, and resolution of the damage destroys or removes a model from the table, then it is impossible to move toward that destroyed/removed model.

  Errata-Follow Up (2023-08-23)
Question: What is the timing of follow up, and do you still move if a slammed model is destroyed?
Answer: 1. Slam attack
2. Damage to target and collateral damage.
3. If slammed model is still on the table, Follow Up movement.
Explanation: The old ruling will still apply here.
The rationale is the “slam” and “Slammed” descriptions include the target taking a damage roll caused by the action. Therefore the damage roll is part and parcel with resolving the “slam”. For the it was that you can not follow up to a model that has been destroyed as there is no longer a model on the board to follow up to.
