Games Workshop - Warhammer Age of Sigmar - Gloomspite Gitz: Dankhold Troggoth

Product Information

For those of you with a spiderfang general, Spider Riders can be battleline and certainly exist. A bit more exciting is the Arachnarok Spider with Spiderfang Warparty , giving the faction its sole ability to monster mash if you’re that way inclined. No longer relegated to being the worst big spider but it’s battleline I guess, the warparty now counts as 10 models for contesting objectives which is really good! Behemoth None know for certain how many Troggoths inhabit the realms, but it is theorised by Azyrite scholars that, due to their nonsensical biology, the first of their number came from the deepest and darkest arcane gunge pools when the Realms first formed - essentially making them creation's foetid effluvium, and explaining both their adaptability and attraction to Realmstone. [2a] There’s 3 kinds of Trogg units, plus a leader and a named leader. While not a ton of variety, lets try and keep it in theme as best we can. Allegiance: Gloomspite Gitz

Their fantastic damage potential makes both units excellent additions to a Kruleboyz army, so let’s take a look at their warscrolls for all the juicy details. Breaka-boss on Mirebrute Troggoth The Troggherds played a vital part of Skragrott the Loonking's conquest of Skrappa Spill. [2b] Organisation This deadly duo combines the cunning of a Kruleboyz boss with the primal strength of a Mirebrute Troggoth, the smellier cousin of the Dankhold Troggoth that the Gloomspite Gitz often coerce into battle. Dust-Gargant • Ghurish Gargant • Mason-Gargant • Mega-Gargant • Mere-Gargant • Moss Gargant • Sky-Titan • Storm Gargant • Ulguan Gargant Badsnatchers are also new and provide a buff to your moonclan wizards, letting you reroll one of your casting dice if they’re within 9” of another moonclan wizard. Rerolls to casting is nice, but the moonclan lore isn’t quite good enough to make forcing it through a requirement, and the other options for subfaction are spicy enough to compete.Improved Moon Mechanics – The bad moon isn’t going to be immediately flying off the board before you can use it anymore, and there are new ways to count your models as under its light even when they aren’t. We are going to look at building an army of these bad boys three different ways, using the new battletome.

The troll hag is cool as a model, but not exactly something I want to paint or field as it's a bit rank (which is impressive for a miniature), so what I'd likely do is get a Dankhold and get converting; I'm thinking of a hood over its face that covers its eyes and some shamanistic additions. Along with a 120mm base of course. Not a case of it might be cheaper, it's just the aesthetics.Moonclan units get Frothing Zealots for everyone’s favourite 4+ rally and Lunar Squigs still provides the excellent ability to run and charge for squigs. Spiderfang Venom upgrades the spider venom of your spiderfang units to trigger on an unmodified 5+, and Moonlit Hide is your trogg buff for +1 to save rolls.

Living Landmark –Thematically this one is my favourite, the general has blended in so well with the terrain that the enemy army hasn’t spotted him. It’s a turn-one-only deepstrike that has to be placed within 3″ of a terrain piece and still more than 9″ away from enemies. Unfortunately this means Trugg would forgo his Leystone in turn 1 which you don’t want to miss out on for defensive buffs. Placing on a Troggboss however to get into enemy lines early with an otherwise slow model is very powerful. Artefacts Found in the realm of Hysh it seems, this grants a 5+ Feel No Pain for mortal wounds for the bearer. Troggoths are already tanky so this is in line with their M.O. Battalion: Stomping Megamob This isn’t a terribly long article because there just isn’t a lot here. The fluff is pretty much what you’d expect, just a bunch of dudes having fun causing mayhem, and the rules aren’t anything we haven’t seen before but they’re powerful and are new for the Gloomspite Gitz. Kizik - Naglig - Snazzgar Stinkmullett - Skragrott - Zarbag - Spittlegit Spiderkin - Mollog - MurkthuddDa Bad Moon gives us another blessing yet again! Not two months after the last Tome Celestial, we get another one, and for Gloomspite Gitz again! Last time it was The Jaws of Mork aimed at the popular mascot of the Gloomspites, the Squigs. This time, the other, less appreciated mascot, the Troggoths get to shine. These sentient mushrooms are beasts of destruction, focused only on eating and napping and then whatever it takes to get one of those two things. With the newest White Dwarf you can field your own squad of them for a decidedly different type of playstyle from the normal gitz lists. I'm still torn on what exactly I'll be doing since I have a swamp themed Fimir army, but never had any Fellwaters as they were just bad by comparison. Now they're good, so at 2k points I can see myself running 1k points of trolls and 1k points of Fimir as GA Destruction; Arachnacauldron getting those juicy spells out of allegiance. At 1k I'd go Gloomspite. There's always the possibility that I'd go 2k with all trolls but that's too expensive for an immediate buy. Discussions of lists which don't have Dankhold Troggbosses as generals or all the Troggoth battleline are fine. As long as the list itself is trogg focused.
