I think that’s why I play tabletop games. It’s a physical break from the sitting, the small mouse movements, the glare of a screen. A fully developed table draws me in, transports me somewhere else, and allows me to think beyond the 2-D realm of my workstation. Suddenly I’m no longer a cog in the machine, but a commander of machines.

Ragnor vs Thyra – Brawlmachine
The Lists Trollbloods Ragnor’s doing well for me. The changes allow me to play a list I’m already familiar with, with the improvements that I wanted a few years ago. The Impaler is suddenly good again, punches a little above his weight class, and the Runeshapers perform admirably. The only change to my Brawlmachine list… Continue reading Ragnor vs Thyra – Brawlmachine
Ragnor vs Feora Brawlmachine
Ragnor at Fury 7 is phenomenal. He has enough fury to cast and camp, and he completely fuels the stone on turn one in Power of Dhunia, since he doesn’t have to cast his upkeeps.
Calandra and Grissel 1 Nerfs Suck
Despite whatever grievances we may have with the changes, we have games to play. Gut-shot is to play a different warlock. But what if we never played Grissel or Calandra before, and want to give the warlocks a chance with all the other positive changes that happened to the faction?

Part 6 – Calandra in Vengeance of Dhunia I have a Band of Heroes Calandra 1 list that has two units of Champions in it, a bunch of Kriel Warriors, and it does okay. It tends to win on clock, with the occasional scenario win. Pushing that concept into into Vengeance of Dhunia gives me… Continue reading Trollblood CID 2020

Part 5 – Calandra in Kriel Company I like Calandra so much, that I have played her in every theme available to us so far. My Calandra Kriel Company list was deleted an eon ago, in favor of experiments with Grim 2 and Grissel 1, so I’m taking this opportunity to just feel my way… Continue reading Trollblood CID 2020

Part 4 – Calandra in Power of Dhunia Week 2 brought some changes that had me investigating Calandra in Storm of the North. She’s so fun, I hit up an old Power of Dhunia build to see how it would change with the new models and modifications to the Dhunian Knot and Runeshapers. I stated… Continue reading Trollblood CID 2020

Part 3 Introduction So far, I’ve covered Impalers, Gunnbjorn 2 in both week 1 and week 3, and some of the problems I have with the Barrage Team nerfs. I’m going to look at Calandra in the Week 2 CID in Storm of the North. I love playing Calandra. She is very versatile in the… Continue reading Trollblood CID 2020

Gunnbjorn 2 in Week 3 shows promise. Barrage Team disappoints as just another damage dealer when we really need a denial piece.

The week 3 Impalers have potential. With Assault, they threaten 20” if they can move in a straight line toward their charge target. I don’t
think that’s the intent, but it is definitely a way to claim board space in the first turn. I could see them running in turn 1, and threatening the 20” assault shot.
