Grim 50 for SR2012

[Adept Rahn]

Awhile ago i posted a list are two up but due to real life issues i had to spend the
cash on other things (The wife wanted to spend it i mean)
This time i have got the stuff and im during building it.
I bought a good fair bit and 1st off is my grim angus list.

Grim +6
Earthborn -10
Bomber -10
Impaler -5
Max Nyss Hunters -10
Min Long Riders -7
Runeshapers -4
Horthol -5
Janissa -3
Alten ashley -2

The only things im not settled on is alten as yes hes great against hordes
but thats about it but after playing khador for 18 months i have him function
like a widowmaker marksmen other wise.

Im not currently working on character restrictiona at present im getting to know the
faction again before i do such a thing.
My 2nd list is good old Borka so this will compliment him for now as borka
plays in your face and grim does the opposite.
Nyss are a great stand alone unit and with hunter and pathfinder.
Since grim has cross country he can throw that on the long riders and them boys
charging through trees is shocking.


What do you think?

This list will probably work, but it seems confusing to me. I been playin Trollz for about 2 years now with good success. I play Grim when I get tired of brickin around the board. EBDT and Janissa are fairly bricky, but they do work very well together. Grim is kinda known for pulling off miraculous charges with his EBDT, for that you really need an Axer for Rush. Normally with Grim I bring EBDT, Axer, Impaler.

Nyss are a great unit, but I never 'feel' like they belong. A unit that hits almost as hard , sometimes harder, especially on Grim's feat are Dygmies. Plus they are real trolls, which matters to me, maybe not to you. Same thing with Alten, drop him and get a Fell Caller instead. He's always good.

The Longriders, Horthol, and Runeshapers are all amazing units and fit well with a non-brick Grim list. They also fit quite well in any other list I can think of.

I am new to Trollbloods and my first warcaster is Grim.

With my very limited experience I would agree with the comments above but I do like the Nyss and they fit in well with Grim.

I have used Janissa with great success with Dire Troll and Bouncer who with the Krielstone Bearers (instead of Runeshapers) become ARM 22 and ARM 23 Respectively and DEF 16 to magic and shooting.

The impaler is a must.

My main hitting infantry are Fennblades with a Fell Caller but you have Horthol and Long Riders which are much harder hitting.

A personal preference is Victor Pendrake over Alten Ashley as he and Grim can knock down big targets or he can grant boosted attack roles to a model/unit v warbeasts and warbeasts find him even harder to kill.

Anyway good luck as we seem to be thinking along similar lines.

I have just got through playing 2 games this morning with this list although i
did have to borrow most the bits due to mine all being built.

!st game i played was against Old witch and i cant say i had any issues dealing
with her apart from the iron fleshed death star which got bombed back to the stone age.
The runeshaper was instrumental in force locking widowmaker unit and also a spriggan
and tremoring some pike men so horthol and the boys could run the over
just long enough for be to get the bomber to open a area up for the earthborn to
trample to and kill the old witch.

2nd game was against pVayl and lots of the usual goodies.
early game i scored a cheeky scenario point but nothing to write home about.
It was a long drawn out game but i managed to get the win despite losing most
the army using Horthol to slam his scythean over vayl with a lucky 6 roll on
distance and with bomber dropping 2 bombs on her followed by grim shooting
and a boosted lock the target finished her.

I do like the list so far but i think pendrake is a good option instead of alten
for the boosted attacks for the nyss and bola for some knockdowns.

I have been considering dygmies as a replacement for the nyss but i
i think the lack of models on the board maybe a issu but then again
max unit of dygmies appearing on feat turn is very nice as they become more
accurate.
Although i dont like playing just for the feat turn as it usually goes bad for me.
