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. On their mini feat turn without any external buffs they threat 13" imagine giving them a speed buff from Jarl and watching them charge something that is 15" away. There are not many models that can compete with that kind of threat range. The drummer grants reposition so after you charge their front line that was 13" out and kill a few models then you get to reposition 3" and Jam up their second line or rearrange a little for the counter attack. I think they are decent I painted them a while ago and I can tell that I am a better painter now but as far as the paint job lets just say I wont be repainting them any time in the near future. Here is a closer picture of the wounded drummer. Normally the best lo...

Fennblades! Painting full units that are 10 models takes time. I don't know how much time I spent on this whole unit because I would paint 2-5 models and then have to go paint something else then come back to paint a few more and I finally finished them and I am super happy with their look all together. While painting this unit is when I realized that yellow tabards is what I wanted to do with my army. I recently front arc'd them and finished up the bases so I feel like they are worthy enough to be shared.   Tactics on these guys are pretty straight forward. Don't let your opponent shoot them off the table. Make sure you are the one doing the charging. 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...

Sons of Bragg. First to explain more or less what a fell caller is. In battle if troll forces were overrun and started falling back the fell caller is a hero that sings in battle and they are normally equipped with a large torch to be seen easily. So, easy to see and easy to hear makes them a place where other troops could go to rally and fight back. In game terms they are support models that hand out buffs through their songs (calls) and help units of models. The Sons of Bragg are 3 legendary fell callers who also happen to be brothers. If that means brothers in arms or actual blood brothers I don't know. They have songs that they sing and unfortunately only help themselves with them. They each have a little different weapon load out so they can fill different jobs depending on what they need to do and I think they do that well. Here are all 3 of them together. Starting off with Wrathar, he is the one in charge here and carries a great sword that has a longer reach ...

Trollblood Warders! I am super excited to be able to present these guy's to you. It has been a little bit since I last post but that is because I was working on these guy's I think they turned out pretty good. Here they are. Yes I did take the time to get Front arc's done on these guys and I will do the same from now on. I also threw some grass on the bases to add a little there. As I was taking the pictures today I noticed I forgot to label them 1-5 so I can track HP on them. I will add the numbers to the backs of their bases the next time I bust out my paints. Unit Leader I painted the black part of his shield to make it look like the Chintin on my brothers Legion of Everblight Warbeasts they are an orange skin with black Chintin. With his permission here is a picture of his color Scheme to give you an idea of how he is painting them. This one is the Raek. I also decided to skin one and make a shield out of the skins. Click on the picture to get a close u...

My first decent Albino Trollkin. I think that this model is a great pose with his scroll out casting magic from it. Same issue as before he still needs his Front Arc painted and the base finished. This model is a Solo model that when played is attached to a unit and becomes part of that unit. He activates along with the unit but does have a special rule that when the unit receives the Press Forward order (normally a model in the unit has to run or charge) he gets to cast a spell then charge.  I think it would be fun to have 3 sorcerers attached to a unit of Runeshapers. Imagine 3 earth wielding trollkin along with 3 Frost wielding trollkin. Other thoughts I have had is attaching them to Fennblades with their UA to grant the extra movement on them while charging or throwing them with scouts to get AD on them. If you attach them to the Sons of Bragg they benefit from the fell calls so their Razor wind attack can get up to 14. It would be amusing to get a full unit of Scribes w...
