    Captain Gunnbjorn vs Caine’s Hellslingers

    How did I lose a Mountain King in Turn 2? By not using Gunnbjorn’s feat. I almost recovered though.

    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…

    It looks like this list means to heal a lot of damage every turn.

    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…

  • Converting Ironclads into Toros

    Converting Ironclads into Toros

    Why on Earth? After purchasing the Crucible Guard box set, I found myself in possession of two heavy warjacks – the Suppressor and Vindicator.  I quickly purchased three heavy kits, and found myself with some decisions.  Should I magnetize, or build a specific jack with each kit?  I decided to build specific jacks.  Magnetizing is…

  • 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: 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.  …

  • I am a Filthy Casual

    Filthy Casual! To clarify the purpose of this blog, I think it needs to be stated that I play as well as any filthy casual might play. I do not win Steamrollers, do not craft highly competitive meta-breaking lists, or have every model and corresponding card memorized. That being said, I do enjoy making lists,…

    Isle of Games Steamroller with Trollbloods

    I took a hiatus from Warmachine, not by choice, but because of a cross-country move.  Last week, I played my first Steamroller tourney since June.  And it feels like I was completely new to the game.  Partially due to the meta change, partially due to the length between games, partially due to the skill level…

    Gunny in Northkin vs Protectorate & Grymkin

    Gunnbjorn in Northkin, Two Battles in Tucson For my first game night in Tucson, Arizona, I felt the need to rely on familiarities and so chose Trollbloods as my faction.  Originally, Jarl Skuld sought to pilot the Northkin army, but Calandra and even Borka on his bear made the rounds.  A conversation on Facebook about…

    The much maligned Trollkin Runeshapers

    Runeshaper Hate? Honestly, I’ve had some recent successes with Runeshapers.  They have game-play, but don’t seem much play in big games. Lack of showing in big tournaments The Trollblood community seems to hate running Trollkin Runeshapers. According to Discount Games Inc, the Runeshapers haven’t been played in any major tournament by a top tier player…

  • Borka 2

    Borka 2

    I’ve recently started experimenting with Borka 2.  He looks like a terror.  His mount is a polar bear, because he’s that awesome.  With his countercharge spell, and freezing feat, Borka begs for a large Battlegroup.   Unfortunately,  he needs to drag along fury management to keep his battlegroup under control.  For all of his aggressiveness,  Borka…
