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…

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…

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…

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

Trollblood CID 2020
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”…

How to fix the New Player Experience
It isn’t fun facing the same group of people over and over again, knowing you’re going to lose. The “100 game” rule should be something we try to eliminate. Ratings and handicaps can help. Prizes other than “won the tournament” should be considered. And as a community, we have to be willing to try new…

2019 Summary – Trollbloods
After a bunch of games (not as many as I would like), and a nice break, I can say that I still enjoy playing trolls. Breaking from the FB and forum groups was a good idea. It helped me experiment more and gripe less. All in all, Trolls are good, the game is good, and…

Crucible Guard vs Circle 2018-11-29
So the trick is that if I want to keep my warcaster safe from Lord of the Feast, better positioning is key. Keep all models 2” + 31mm away from your warcaster. The flip side is that in doing so, you lose the screening and other units can get in to kill your caster just…

Hunters Grim: Where are you?
Grim2, Where Are You? Looking at Grim2 again as a primary warlock for my Trollblood army. I haven’t seen much of him since the beginning of 2017. I honestly can’t be sure where he really fits. The best luck I’ve had with him is as a direct answer to lists that depend on healing, via…

Troll Impaler: Theory, Test, Fix
Troll Impaler, the Model I have always liked the Impaler model. He(?) looks brutal. In the old days, he was much bigger than Trollkin, but now they are about as big, and a pack of Impalers could easily be confused for a unit of something wierd. The older sculpt is still my favorite. …
