I just got a Troll Cheiftain,and even if he isn't perfect, I still like him a lot.Here's some armies I made using him.Like I said, I need advice, but I want to use mostly trolls. :cool:

Army 1-

Troll Cheiftain
4x Troll Artillerist***
Mending Priestess***
Imp***, or just leave it empty.

Army 2-

Troll Cheiftain
2xTroll Brawler**
2xTroll Artillerist***
Mending Priestess** or ***(Wichever fits)

Army 3-

Troll Cheiftain
2xTroll Brawler**
3x Troll Artillerist***
Mending Priestess***

Army 4-(I don't like this one as much as the others, just putting it up for an option.)

Troll Cheiftain
Troll Brawler**
Mending Priestess*
Imp*
Steam Golem***
Steam Golem*
Dwarven Miner***
Khamsin Fuser***

Wich ones are good?I'm open to suggestions.

Army 1 looks to be most solid, but you can still improve on it.

First of all, do you have any **Troll arties? They are more cost efficient than the *** version.

Second, I think 4 is a bit overkill; 3 will do just fine.

Third, again the **Preistess is more cost efficient than the ***, so if you have one, consider downgrading it.

Finally, with extra points, consider adding a charger to protect the arties (Centaur Lt. if you want to keep the Elemental League Theme going ;)), and some imps and shades to block enemy LOS or take shots.

Before we can give you some army ideas, we need to know the point cost of the army you are planning to do. 200? 300?

I would make something like this for 200pts (if I HAD to use the Chieftan ;) ):

Form1
Troll Chieftan 73pts
Clurch Piper* 15pts
1x Half-Troll Hacker** 26pts
1x Tribal Brute* 26pts

2x Shade* 24pts

1x Fell Reaper* 36pts

I don't know if this is good or not, but here's how I'd play it:

Terrain has to be blocking so you can manuver your trollmation up field to play like a KI formation would (sans 2 points of movement). The shades and reaper will run harrassment on ranged guys. The problem is that the Chieftan costs 73, but if you wanted a 200pt army, here's how I'd do it.

TheTong, you can't do that.Everyone in a formation has to be from the same faction........



Joe, I want to stick to trolls, but only go out if greatly needed.I like the Artillerists and Cheiftain cos of that non-glassjaw.And the best Charger I had was a Centaur Champ......he's gone.....no harrassmant or chargers in my collection.....No Artillerists either.I was going to get some if one of the armies was pretty good.The Imp is a filler.I'm working with 300 points.

Joe's right about the points cost. The Artillerist ** is better than the *** version.

He's also right about a charger. With the new abilities from WW you just can't keep your formation "protected" if you don't have at least one centaur Lietenant ***.

Trolls work much better in 300 pointers than in 200's. Remember that playing the Chieftain means your Trolls won't have any figure with defend behind them, making them an easy target.

Some harassment should also be added (Shades ** are awesome). They avoid a lot of trouble.

Oh! My bad, I thought that the chieftan was an Orc faction, but he's elemental. Well, throws my army down the drain. LOL

How's this?We are working with 300 points here.By the way, battlemaster, there are NO formations.

Troll Cheiftain
3x Troll Artie**
2xCentaur Leutenant***
Mending Priestess***
2xShade*


299 points.

or-

3 arties and 1 leutenant.
