Life of a Trollblood

The Fennblade officer and drummer! What a great attachment for this unit. The officer grants Cleave (a second attack if the first kills) and he also has a mini feat that gives the unit Pathfinder and +2" on the charge, really getting these guys moving.

I believe they were designed as anti Calvary since they have a rule that allows them to ignore impact attacks and collateral damage. They are faster than the standard troll and with 2" melee range they out threat most of our other models. They are easy to remove off the table and even though they have vengeance yo...
