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

Product Information

Unlike those command traits these are not available to Unique, so Trugg can’t take any. Trogbosses however will benefit greatly! Unfortunately because of the high wounds on all your Troggbosses you won’t be able to take more than 1 artefact without access to the Warlord battalion so choose carefully and play to its strengths. For size he’s actually a little smaller than I expected I think? He goes on a 100mm base which used to be massive but in the modern age of Age of Sigmar it’s…not actually that massive. Amongst a horde of Troggoths he definitely stands out as a centrepiece though, and that’s really the point isn’t it?

Starting off we will look at my favorite, the Troggoth army. (Note: This is not a cheap army to buy and play, troggoths are massive models that cost a lot of points and the price is reflected via GW) 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 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 This review was completed using a copy of Battletome: Gloomspite Gitz given to us free by Games Workshop. Just like their cave-dwelling counterparts, these troggoths have preternaturally fast metabolisms that allow them to regenerate wounds at an alarming rate.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 Thanks very much to Games Workshop for providing us with this product for content creation and preview purposes. While the Troggoth is no slouch in combat, it isn’t the fastest creature around. Kunnin’ bosses will want to take advantage of the Supa Sneaky command trait. It really is a simple list. It walks forwards, kills what it hits (hopefully) and takes objectives that way. Yes, it’s relatively slow, but any army of Troggs will be! Importantly it looks very fun to put down onto the table. Oops All Dankhold As this is a bit of a unique case for the destruction forums I'm going to layout a few basic things as to what sort of lists go here and what goes in the main Gloomspite thread.

Simple roll a D6 each round and on a 4+ gain a command trait. Welcome addition and hardly a bad thing to have. Artefact: Aetherquartz Studded Hide 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. Finally there’s Chasing the Moon which requires your general to survive the battle, potentially much easier than it used to be if they’re a Galetian Champion, and to have been affected by the Light of the Bad Moon in 3 battle rounds. Battle Tactics There are a lot of artefacts to get through here as they’re more split up by keyword, so these are just a selection of the more interesting ones. Daemon Prince • Familiar • Fury • Khornate ( Bloodletter • Bloodthirster) • Nurglite ( Great Unclean One • Nurgling • Plaguebearer) • Slaaneshi ( Daemonette • Keeper of Secrets) • Soul Grinder • Tzeentchian ( Gaunt Summoner • Horror of Tzeentch • Lord of Change) • Verminlord

Command Ability: Oblivious to Sorcery

As for the battalion, even at 2k it's too expensive, even if you factor in that 50 points of Command Point. The extra item is cool, but again I'd rather have more trolls as they'll be doing more damage than natural 6s to wound ever will provide.
